Twilight in the arms

PARTY

While I was running while listing to the music. There was a call from an unknown person on my phone. I stopped running and picked up the call while sitting on the nearby bench.

"Hello," I said with heavy breathing. "Hi" answered some lady from another side.

S - who is this.

UN- hye... What happens to you... Its Akshi
She asked because of my heavy breathing 

S-ohh hi Akshi... It's nothing I was just jogging.

A-okay... How are you?

S-Perfectly fine... U tell?

A - beautiful. 

She said while giggling. 

S-indeed...Ha hah hahaha... By the way anything important. 

A-ohh yes, I forget the main reason for calling you. , there is a party at one of my classmates home. I wanted you to come almost the whole department would be there, of course not professors, so that would be good for you to introduce with some of the people. 

S- ahmhmmm Look Akshi, I'm not a party person. So, I don't know. 

A-come on Shalini, it is your good only, I know you are new here and you should come and chill... Plzzzzzzzzz.

S-okay fine... But I'll get back to Hostel after 9 o'clock. 

A - Fine, Miss punctual... You have to come to my place first then we'll together go to the party.. I'll text you the address. 

S-okay okay

After saying bye to each other we cut the call and go my room to take shower. I got ready by wearing my typical loose white T-shirt which "killing it" was written and black pants with black ankle boots which are my favourites, I quickly put my hair up in a ponytail headed towards the address that Akshi texts me just now.

On reaching her home she welcomed me very warmly and we entered her room. Her room was very cute and little,  everything was in pink colour unlike mine, I put all the mismatched stuff in my room. But I'm very organised and tidy with my things. And I sat on her bed shyly.

"start getting ready Shallu, we are getting late," she said while picking her some stuff from the bed.

I looked at myself and Said"I'm a ready man" and I chucked.

She gapes at my dress. “You’re not really wearing that, are you?”

My hand slides over the fabric of my pants. This 
is my nicest shirt and pants, my favourite dress, 
and it’s not like I really have all that many.

“What is wrong with my dress?” 
I ask, trying to hide how offended I am. The white material is soft, The sleeves are ends up till hitting just under my elbows and my gosh so comfortable.

"No... NO, You are not wearing this, this is a very big party and you should try something new and girly". I rolled my eyes at her statement. She immediately went to her Dresser and pick up a dress and handed it to me and said that I should wear this. Apparently, I was screaming in my my mind that 

"No... Not, in any case, I'm going to wear this".

I was not ready to wear that dress because I never ever in my whole fucking life wore such kind of dress. She insisted on me with so much determination that I couldn't say NO to her and on the other hand, she was being so kind to me and helping me to meet people for my sake, without ever asking for it, So I agreed.

She gave me a maroon dress whose material is soft but sturdy, the same material business suits are made of. The collar goes up to my neck and the sleeves are three-quarter length, hitting just under my elbows.
