Saturday:-

Time seems to be running on treadmill, I don't know how come the past two days went by so quickly as if I was travelling on a Bullet train. It's just been three days and I have already started missing Aunt, Jack, going to School and our constant bickering. Though I know the School will re-open on Monday but still. 

Today is the day I'll go to party. It's being held by the seniors at one of their's house. I haven't catched up with Jack since 'that' day. So, I call him. After three to four rings it went direct to voice mail. I sigh and put down the call.

 I look at the clock and gasp. It's already 3:30 in the afternoon and party will start at six. This means I have less time to get ready. 

By 5:30 in the evening I was ready. I am wearing an icy baby blue, off-shoulder dress having a drawstring lace and reaching upto  my knees, a blue-crystal heart pendent, silver watch and icy-blue heels. I let my hair to cascade down my shoulder, curling them at the ends. I just applied some cream, compact on my face and a cherry colour lipstick. 

I look myself in the mirror one last time before grabbing my purse and phone

I look myself in the mirror one last time before grabbing my purse and phone. Most of the parents don't like the idea of their child going to party but aunt Jenny is completely different. She is cool, open minded, funny and most - importantly a good friend of mine. She is more a friend to me than a guardian. She don't even mind, me talking about random stuffs with her or anybody else. As I am climbing down the stairs, the door bell rings. I open the door and I am shock to see Jack on the door. 

" Hey " Jack said, quiet like a whisper.

" H-Hi " I say, slightly shock from his sudden appearance at my door. 

" Can I come in ?" Jack said, hesitatingly. 

" Yeah." I say while while opening the door wider enough for him. 

" You look beautiful." Jack said with a smile. 

" Thank you." I said, smilingly.

" Are you ready for the party ?" Jack said

" Yeah, I am." I said 

" So, let's go." Jack said. 

" Okay but before we go I have certain questions."

" Why were you not picking my call ?" 

" By the way how are you ? How is your wound ? How you got that ? " I said 

" I'll answer all your questions but not now." Jack said 

" But I want to know now. Either you tell me now or I won't move from here. Even I won't let you to go to the party. So, you better speak ." I said 

" So how about we make a deal ?" Jack said

" What deal ?" I said while crossing my arms.

" First, we will go to the party. Then, I'll tell  you everything you want to know." 

" So, do you agree ?" Jack said.

" Okay. Done." I say while uncrossing my arms.

We reach the venue, loud music can be heard from the parking lot. Everybody is walking towards the party house, some are here with their partners while others are here with their friends, dressed up and laughing on random jokes. Two person are standing at the door, welcoming everybody. Maybe they are the one's who organised it. 

Looking from inside nobody can say that it's somebody's house. It look like a club. People are gathered around a table, shouting, seems like a game is going on. Some are having drinks, dancing on the dance floor, playing pool games and many more. I hear someone calling my name. So, I turn around to look towards the source of voice. It's Jack, standing with a group of people and gesturing for me to come there.  

When I reach beside him " What were you doing there ? " Jack said

" I was just looking." I said.

" Oh, I thought you got lost." Jack said smilingly.

" Ofcourse, not." I say pouting like a child . He starts laughing which in turn is making me more angry. He stopped laughing when a boy who is standing among us said," Jack will you not introduce this pretty friend of your ?" 

Is here blind ? I thought. From which angle do I look pretty ?  It's a white lie if somebody will say I am pretty. Ofcourse, I am not pretty. I am okay. 

" Uh.. oh yeah ." Jack said while clearing his throat. 

" Well, Guys. This This is my friend Diana." Jack said, extending his hands.

" Hi ." I say, waving my hands towards them.

" So, now introduce yourselves ."  Jack said, and they all start introducing themselves.

" Hi. I am Martin,..... Daniel......Olivia........Max.......Cherry.........." They said , " and I am --- " the boy who I recognise, the one who asked Jack for my introduction got cut off by someone calling his name.

He quickly turns around and gets disappear in the crowd. After he left, I see a boy coming towards us with a tray of red cups. As Jack saw the red cups he shouted like a hooligan, " Yay ! Drinks are here." We  all begin taking our cups . 

" Cheers ." We all said in unison.

------

Right now it's 1:00 a.m, I am having my tenth drink. Getting a bit tipsy. I don't know where Jack is . He sought of disappeared after our crazy dance. I want nothing now but a good nap.

 I stand and starts searching for him but he is no where to be seen. So, I head out of the house towards the front lawn. To my disappointment he is not even here. Wondering where he could  I sigh and sit down on the grass near a tree . I bring my legs towards my chest so that I can rest my head. 

I feel a tap on my shoulder. I look up astonish to see the same guy who asked Jack for my name. He is tall, having jet black hair pushed up like cinnamon curls, green eyes and wearing a black skinny jeans & shirt which is making him nothing but handsome. Well, he is not  handsome . He is handsome as hell. I can feel my cheeks turning  crimson. Of course, his golden boots are an icing over his attire. I am busy examining him from top to bottom but his husky voice interrupted me

" Like what you see darling ?"
