"Are you seriously revising?"
I darted my eyes away from my business revision book, to see Ruby peer her head from the door.
"Well yeah? Exams are starting in three weeks," I replied in an obvious tone. I situated my eyes back to my book.
Just as I was getting lost into the world of business terms, it was snatched from my grasp. Ruby launched it over to the other side of the room.
"What the hell Ruby," I protested, pushing myself up from my bed, running to pick up the book.
"Do you not want to go to the party?" Asked Ruby whilst slumping herself onto my bed.
My brows sloped downward and I hesitantly shook my head, waiting for Ruby to elaborate.
"The big party before our exams, it's tonight." Ruby waved her hands, as if she was giving me major news.
I tutted under my breath, whilst rolling my eyes. I ignored her attempts to get me interested. Instead, I seated myself at my desk, once again drawing my attention back to my revision book.
The words in front of me started to look like jumbled shapes, I could feel Ruby's stare on the back of my head. The concentration in me had evaporated and I was no longer able to focus.
"I'm not going," I sighed, closing the book.
"Why?"
"Parties are not my thing-"
"Come on Hannah. Just this once. Let you hair down have fun, and then you can focus on your exams." Ruby came into my line of vision.
Her eyes softened, like a puppy dog waiting for a treat. She pursed her lips, trying to persuade me.
"I've got nothing-"
"I came prepared," Ruby chimed.
She made her way over to the door, picking up a heavy loaded bag. She tipped the contents out onto my bed. A flurry and mixture of different material spiralled out.
"I've enlisted Ava to help do your makeup." Ruby lifted her brows, like she was a mischievous kid devising an evil plan.
She stood there, waiting for me to agree. My mind felt like scales, weighing out the pros and cons of going to the party.
The pros indicated that it would be fun, some relaxation before the hard work kicked in. The cons highlighted that it was the party, meaning Zac would be there. Since our presentation we saw less of each other.
With heavy revision weighing down on us, we spent less time in our classes, and more time to ourselves prepping. There was also the additional factor of Melissa being at the party.
With the need of letting my hair down, I was leaning towards going.
"Fine," I sighed in defeat.
Ruby's face lit up like lightbulb. She excitedly dragged me over to the mountain of clothes and we begun to trawl through it all.
