SYDNEY PARKER
"Hey," Mia said and slid on my bed, beside me.
"How are you?" Lila, slid on the other side.
I looked at both of them, both looking haggard, tired and somehow insulted.
I asked them, "What happened?"
They both sighed and replied, "We kind of got kicked out,"
I chuckled and asked, "Really?"
Their faces broke into small smiles and they nodded their heads. I shook my head at both of them.
Mia suddenly sat up and exclaimed, "The reunion party is today!"
Lila screeched, "SH*T!"
Then both of them screeched at the top of their voice, at the same time, "WE DON'T HAVE CLOTHES!"
I laughed at my best friends. To be honest, I felt sad and aggravated. Something broke inside me when I saw both of them almost kissing and all, but I guess this is just the way things work. Somethings cannot be always achieved by you.
"Oh and by the way!" Mia said loudly, "We gotta pick up Patrick from the airport today!"
I groaned and sat up.
***
"All the single ladies, all the single ladies," Patrick exited from the security check, singing at the top of his voice. All of them( the police guards and other passengers) looked at him weirdly. Mia and Lila were in hysterics seeing him.
Upon seeing us, he waved at us and shouted, "Oi! Sexy old ladies! Pretty old ladies!"
I swear to God, I don't know that guy.
***
"Nice meeting you Lila," Patrick smiled and hugged Lila.
She blushed slightly. I mean, that's the reaction of the single lady when an extremely hot guy hugs her, well mostly.
Mia whispered in her ear, "He's gay, sorry for interrupting all your dirty fantasies,"
Lila smacked Mia's arm aggressively.
"Oi! How's my sexy old queen?" he asked me, while engulfing me in a big hug.
"What's with you and all the old sexiness?" I asked confused.
He just smiled at me and then picked up Mia and gave her a twirl. He is kind of the best brother you could ever ask for.
"Oh and by the way," he said sheepishly to her, "I destroyed your Mac Book," (not noticing her horrified expression).
Well, maybe not all the times.
***
"Dress shopping?" Mia asked, while sipping from her coffee.
Lila nodded excitedly while I groaned, "How can you even walk after waiting for three hours at that airport?"
Mia pouted and whined, "Don't be a mood spoiler!"
"I ain't joining you ladies, gotta meet up with someone," interrupted Patrick, but I didn't notice the slight blush that crept up on his neck when he said 'someone'.
"Someone?" Lila teased, suggestively. Look he can make best friends that fast!
"We need full details after you meet this 'someone'," I smirked.
Patrick, now red as a tomato absorbed himself in his phone, ignoring us.
"Who invited you anyways?" Mia huffed. She isn't talking to him, especially after he dropped the 'Mac Book' bomb.
"Bitch," Patrick muttered.
"That's an old one," Mia spoke disdainfully.
"Like you?" he inquired innocently.
"Siblings," I muttered and sighed, sipping my green tea.
***
After three motherfucking long hours, we finally finished the damn shopping. Now don't be confused. I love to go shopping when you take me to Forever21 or American Eagle but I ain't going shopping for some silly gowns that I will wear only once in my life! Nah itch nah! I ain't wasting my money.
But apparently, some really lovely group of friends are so hung up on ruining their wealth that-
"You know you shouldn't say that much bad about your this interesting group of friends," said Mia, munching french fries.
"Yeah, you know they could get really violent if that happens. Why not leave them gay and happy?" asked Lila, fluttering her eyelashes.
"I was thinking out loud?" I wondered thoughtfully.
"Sure you were," they both snapped at me.
***
"Only a little here and a little there," whined Lila holding two or three make up brushes in her mouth, while Mia was holding my face forcefully.
I tried to say something but couldn't, they had gagged me with a sock. So my pleas to help came out like the gargles of some dying creature.
Patrick entered the room, happy and over-enthusiastic. But, when he spotted me almost getting murdered by my two best friends, the smile dropped and his face! Oh words can't explain what a beauty it was! Note the sarcasm, though it was something I would need to take a snap of, WHERE'S A CAMERA WHEN YOU NEED IT!?
Both Mia and Lila looked at Patrick with a sinister look and said, "Shush..."
He gulped and replied with a nervous smile, "I didn't see a thing." With that he scrambled out of my hotel room.
What exemplary best friends I have.
And then thought tearfully, "Are you even up there?"
***
"Ah! There you are," said Lila clapping her hands.
Mia looked at me appreciatively and gave me a thumbs up.
Looks like I wasn't murdered after all. Instead, Lila and Mia had worked some gorgeous miracle on me.
"Damn girl! You can sure as hell make a bird's nest look good," muttered Lila to Mia, who was absolutely exhausted.
I didn't disagree.
I must agree. Mia had made my hair, which didn't look like a bird's nest I might add, looked all glossy,shiny and wavy. Whereas, Lila had worked her magic by keeping my makeup as nude as possible yet not simple. My dress or gown (whatever) was in royal blue color and was backless (kind of too flashy for me, but...) with straps going round my neck. In one word- exquisite. Pairing my dress with golden narrow long drops, I was looking fabulous as ever.
I know I am very modest, don't comment.
Only one thing was missing, my foot wear. Now I had two choices:
1. I throw an enormous tantrum, which may result in a cats and dog fight, Zeus vs all the gods war or John Cena vs all the WWE wrestlers war.
Result-
1. My makeup may get destroyed.
2. My dress may end up to be Cinderella's first one (destroyed by stepsisters)
3. I may end up crying and so will my best friends.
Choice II-
1. I behave like a good and old mature kid who will accept their request or soon-to-be request nicely and as humanely as possible.
Result-
I may make my best friends proud for one *cue some dramatic song*
I sighed and said, "I will wear the heels,"
They both looked at me with only word, simply and in short-
PRIDE.
*cue Gladiator's theme- Now we are free*
