CHAPTER FIVE

I don't know what to wear! Ah this is irritating. I have pulled out all the clothes from my dresser yet I couldn't decide what to wear.

I was never this conscious, ever about the way I look? What is happening to me?

"Sonakshi why don't you try this?" Pooja said throwing a dress towards me

It was short black dress that was well way to short. Doesn't she wear anything else other than black colour? I cannot wear this. Nah it is way to short and that Dev will definitely comment something may be this time he will call me a black duck? Or may be a potato again. Why do I care anyway what he calls me?

It doesn't matter anyway. He can keep his rude comments to himself tonight I'm just going to go and have fun and make new friends and I won't even bother to react to any of his remarks.

"Hello?" Pooja waved her hands in front of me that bought me out of my thoughts.

"Pooja I can't wear this, it very short. My mother will kill me if she gets to know but the dress is gorgeous" I said in order to save myself from wearing it because anyway even though the dress was nice I won't be comfortable wearing it.

"Oh live a little Sonakshi. Your mom is not here and she won't get to know and this the longest dress I have" she winked at me

Did I ever mention I was a people pleaser? May be not. But I cannot say NO to people easily especially when someone is trying to be nice to me by helping. I couldn't say no to Pooja hence I ended up wearing the little black dress.

I don't know how Dev will react to this? Wait I just decided it doesn't bother me whatever he thinks of me. Then why was I again wondering about what comment he might throw at me?

I kept looking at myself in the mirror. The dress was plain black which ended above my knees. The fabric stuck to my body like another skin. My hair slight curled and a layers of make up on my face which Pooja forcefully applied, I looked different. Very different. I bet that stupid Dev won't even recognise me.

Ah stop thinking about him. I mentally slapped myself I have to stop letting him get into my head. That's what he wanted. He wanted to get under my skin so he will have someone to irritate and make fun of.

"Sonakshi lets go! Pushkar is already here to pick us up. He waiting outside" Pooja started to pull me out of the door.

As we were walking towards Pushkar's car Pooja asked "so future doctor are you excited for your first college party?" and smiled

"Very" I replied smiling trying to match her enthusiasm but inside I was freaking out.

Dear god please help me survive this party. As I entered the car and took the back seat I noticed Pushkar looking at me from the rare view mirror. Why was he looking at me like that? I knew I was looking bad I still have time I can still jump out of the car and pretend that I fell off and broke my leg and I can just skip the party and be saved from the humiliation.

"You look great. I'm at loss of words" I heard Pushkar say like he just read my mind

And then I noticed Pooja winking at me.

"Thanks" I blushed

Oh dear god I was blushing. I really liked Pushkar's smile. There was something about him so comforting may be he was a people pleaser like me.

I was so busy in my thoughts that I didn't even realise that we reached Dev's house.

DEV the name hit me like waves of fear. I was so anxious about his reaction towards my transformation I bet he won't be able to make rude comments because somewhere I knew I was looking different well in a good way I hope.

Oh I was again thinking about him? just the mere mention of his name brings so many insecurities inside me. He makes me feel bad about myself? No I cannot let nobody decide what I look like or kill my self-confidence. I will walk inside the party like I own this place well even though I don't own this place this is his house but anyway I can pretend I own it.

I stepped out of the car and walked inside his house which I pretended to own. Pooja and Pushkar walked next to me on the either side. The music was so loud if anyone said anything I wouldn't hear a word. It was dark only different colour neon lights flashed and went off. And everyone was dancing like a maniac. There were drinks well beer cans, vodka bottles and what not. Somewhere in the darker corners I could see couples making out furiously. And there were girls dancing on tables and on the bar right in the corner of the hall. It was a mess. Not a party

Sometimes I went to parties with mom when her friends invited us over dinner. We would just sit and talk and have soft music playing and have a nice dinner and finally bid goodbye. But this was like how I had seen in movies. It is a mess. A total mess.

How will I survive this mess?

I saw Abhinav and that petite girl Achal walking towards us. She was staring at me no correction glaring at me. Why? I don't know may be because I looked better than her and she couldn't take the defeat. That's what you get Achal for insulting me that day. Way to go Sonakshi murthy I mentally hi-fived myself.

But where was he?

Ah why do I care? But I do, I took all this pain to dress up and come here just to show him that I have the confidence to carry myself well and no one has the right to call me a fat potato!

"Wow I never thought you could look this hot Sonakshi" Abhinav said

"I will take that as a compliment?" I asked him with a cheeky smile and bashed my eye lashes

"Yes it was" he said

Oh I blushed again second time tonight.

"Thanks then" I replied back

"Let's go dance" Pooja screamed

So everyone crashed the dance floor. No what did you think? When I say everyone it didn't include me I went and stood in the corner and smiled and laughed when Abhinav tried to do funny dance moves.

My eyes kept drifting from one spot to other avoiding the darker corners well for obvious reasons. Yes I was searching for him and then my eyes landed on him, Dev was sitting on a couch alone with a glass filled with alcohol in his hand looking at me from a distance. His gaze froze me and our eyes locked into each other's for a very brief moment. I could feel fire glow in his eyes. I have just met him thrice and always seen him giving me cold looks. But why was he staring at me like that? I'm sure he is plotting and panning out insult words for me. With his eyes still locked into mine he got up and started to walk towards me. I prepared myself for all the insult he would throw at me tonight. May be I'm wearing a dress and looking different for the first time but I would never be as good as his Achal or even one of those girls dancing on the tables with fish net stocking like a maniac.

"Want to dance?" his husky voice brought me out of my thoughts.

"No" I said and tried to notice any changes in his expression but his face was unreadable.

"I didn't ask you and stop being so desperate" he said and finally his wicked smile appeared as a girl with blonde streaks stepped from behind me and placed her hands around his neck. With his evil smile still on his face I saw him pull the girl close to his body and placed his hands in her waist.

"Sayali this party is full of desperate people right?" he asked the girl he was dancing with.

I WANT TO MURDER HIM. He cannot insult me like this. He asked me to dance I was sure. If he was asking the other girl why were his eyes on me?

I needed to get out of here I couldn't take all this insult that he throws on my face and swallow my pride and self-respect.

So I ran, I ran outside his house and away from him. I knew him only for few days and he has such an effect on me. Why do I need his approval? Why do I need to dress up like one of those girls he is dancing with right now? Why does his eyes stare into mine like that? He makes me so weak and at the same time so strong that I could rip apart one of those girls head he is dancing with right now. I hate how he makes me so conscious about myself I hate how he ignites murderous instinct in me and I hate how he makes me feel. I HATE HIM.
