Laila wanted to cry so badly . She wasn't okay after all and she couldn't just stand here and pretend that she was okay . Laila had high hopes for this day but right now , laila guessed that's where she went wrong . So she simply slipped away from the scene .
The day started on a great note . Laila was excited for the college fest today but more than that , she was excited for dressing up together with her friends and laughing her butt of . So laila took a shower and went to her friend's house with her accessories and products that she had to use .
Diana lived only a few minutes away from laila , diana didn't greet her instead she said ,
" Hurry up , we all are in my room . "
" Okay "
Mona and Ashley greeted diana as she entered the room . Diana , laila and mona were practically inseparable . They grew up together . Ashley was a common friend .
" Mona , try this top instead . It will look great on you . Laila , I borrowed a top from my mom , go try it please ." Diana said .
Laila tried not to blush . Laila was a big girl and sometimes she hated it .
Mona went to try the top first . When she came out , everyone gasped .
" OMG GIRL , this is made for you !!"
" YES !! EXACTLY "
laila clapped her hands and whistled and mona laughed it off .
Laila went inside the bathroom to change .
She saw the mirror and she flinched . Laila looked hideous , honestly . She looked so fat in that top , she didn't want to wear it but she didn't want to hurt mona's feelings either , so she went outside .
When she went outside , there was a pin drop silence in the room that was broken when mona cleared her throat and said , " You look good ."
" No , she doesn't . Laila , go with the top that you were wearing . You look so fat in this . Like extremely fat . " , ashley said .
Now laila knew ashley wasn't a mean person . She was a good friend . Infact , laila completely agreed with ashley because that was her first thought . The fact that she knew , did it make it hurt any less ? Absolutely no.
" Laila , which one do you like better ? This one or your own " , mona asked
" This is a beautiful top , mona but I guess mine looks better on me ." , laila replied .
" Ashley , you shouldn't have said it , now she obviously feels bad ." , diana said
" I am going to tell her the truth . Better hear it from me than others ." , ashley replied
Laila went inside the bathroom and she felt a tear trickle down her nose but she wasn't going to make a mess . Today was supposed to be a good day and she wouldn't mess it up .
Laila took deep breaths , planted a big smile on her face . She told herself , she was happy . Very happy .
She went outside and quietly sat in a corner , putting some make up and accessories on .
When it was time to leave , laila sat in the front seat and the three of them in the back seat .
