Hey guys. This just a story I wrote. Unlike most stories here, it doesn't have desi characters. 😆 Enjoy!
"Should I wear this to the party or this?" asked Michelle fancying herself in the mirror, and asking for my opinion even though she will probably not listen to it. She's holding two dresses, one is black, a bit simple but extremely elegant and the other one is purple and it seems too elegant, but they are both beautiful.
"You should definitely wear the black one" I say, hoping that she won't listen so I can wear it.
"Umm, are you sure.. I really seem to like this purple one" Michelle says and I quickly agree with her and slowly grab the black dress from her hand to admire it.
"Hey Michelle, should I wear this dress" I ask.. knowing the answer because it's obvious.
"Of course, you don't need to ask" she says and I hear someone coming upstairs.
It's Michelle's mother.
"Hi girls, do you need anything to eat?" she asks. Michelle gets her looks from her mom.. they are both so beautiful. Sometimes, I feel so ugly and wonder how can Michelle, who dates football players in our school, can be my best friend? I think it's because we're neighbors...
"No, thanks." says Michelle.
"How about you, Natalie?" asks Mrs. Harris kindly.
I'm hungry but Michelle stares at me and patiently waits for me to repeat what she has said.
I softly say, "no thanks" but then my stomach growls. How embarrassing.
"I'll bring you some cookies and juice" Mrs. Harris says and disappears.
We continue preparing for the party. It's Claire's party and the only reason I'm going is because my best friend, Michelle, has urged me to. She said I'll enjoy it.. even meet the right guy, which is ridiculous because I'm already dating Mark, who I am in love with.
Mrs. Harris appears again with cookies and juices in the tray and I thank her. Michelle stares at me, disgusted. Michelle has a great body but she still worries too much and has started getting me worried about my body too so I only eat one cookie and drink a sip of the delicious apple juice.
After an hour of talking, advicing each other about what one and other should wear, we are ready! Michelle looks fab and I suppose I look okay. Michelle's dress is a bit revealing.
Michelle's date, John arrives to pick her up at 8 PM. My boyfriend Mark couldn't go to the party because he had to babysit his little sister. I'm glad.. I do love him but he gets annoying. He's too demanding.
I sit in the back of John's lexus and Michelle sit in the front.. occassionally kissing him and giggling.
We arrive at Claire's house and I stare in amazement. It's huge! Some people are standing outside and I recognize them but they probably don't even know my name.. they are the "popular" kids in our school. Michelle is also popular unlike me.
I'm looking around and I notice someone staring at me.. I look back at him and Michelle taps him noticing our eye contact.
"Told you you'll meet someone" she says.
"That's ridiculous" I quickly say.
And that's when the stranger starts walking towards me.
