Ophelia's POV

"Hey, it's been a week since I met you for the last time. Where have you been?" I got a phone call from my favorite girl, Liliya.

She was concerned about me not texting back or calling her after we promised each other to start being friends. She probably thought that I didn't like her, so I ignored her. That's not truth.

I just had a hard time again. There are some new problems at home. College is kicking my ass too with all these projects before finals. I should get my life into my hands again.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I was busy doing some things. How have you been?" I needed to calm her down.

"I'm doing great. I'm calling you with one question in mind" I could feel that she was not sure about asking the question she's talking about.

"Ask" I'm curious.

"Don't you want to go to the party with me this friday?" Liliya asked.

"You mean tomorrow"

"Um yes. So are you in?" should I say yes or no to her? I would like to go out with her somewhere more than college, but I don't feel like going to the party.

I get these bad flashbacks from the last party I attended.

"I'm not feeling like coming. Sorry"

"Come on, Ophelia! Let's go. I promise, it will be fun" Liliya was eager to get a positive answer from me to her suggestion.

"Where will this party be?" I asked her. I swear, if it's one of the dorms again, I'm not coming.

"It's at the boys' college dorm" Liliya said.

"I'm not going" I don't want to be at that place never again.

"What? Why? Are you scared of dorms? It's just a little party of college students" she didn't give up.

"Do you really want me to go with you? I believe that you have someone else to go with"

"Dareen is having some plans with his friends. I wish to go to this party, but I need someone to go with me. This is why I'm asking you" gosh. I don't want to make her sad for such a little thing. I should agree with her.

"Fine. I will go"

"Yay! Thank you, Ophelia. You're the best!" Liliya just sent me a kiss through a phone call. I love her.

"But I don't promise to be there for long" I informed her.

"It's okay, I'm not planning on staying there for a night too"

"Alright" I believe that going out with Liliya will be fun. She's such a social person. Opposite of me.

"I will come to pick you up tomorrow at 8 pm. You just need to tell me your address" Liliya said.

"Oh, I'll text you my address. By the way, is there any dress code for this party?" I need to make sure to look like a decent person, so in advance, I have to know if there's any specific way I should dress.

"No, just be yourself, Ophelia" she giggled.

"Okay"

"See you tomorrow, Opi" did she just give me a nickname? Cute.

"You too, Lili" after that she hung up the phone.

So I'm going to the party tomorrow. Amazing. It's been months since I went to one. I'll just keep Lili company. That's it.

I already forgot how the process of getting ready for a party was working. I'm having a hard time doing my hair. It's only simple curls, but it seems like I can't do them too.
