Three days later...
It's Thursday and i just came home from school. i sit on my bed thinking about the birthday party tomorrow night, i was supposed to go out and buy an outfit to wear for the party but i was lazy and told my mom to do it for me, i didn't get to see the outfit yet. Mom told me she wants me to see the outfit after she is done with her work. It's already 6.00 pm, i'm putting my makeup on and i hear my mom calling me from downstairs "Sofea, are you ready to see the dress?" mom said "coming mom" i come downstairs and i see the dress, it it beautiful. A black dress with tiny flowers on the waist "soo...what do you think?" "it's gorgeous mom" i said with my eyes still wide from how beautiful the dress looks "well, i'm glad you like it, go on put it on you're going to be late for the party"
"alright" i said while running up the stairs.
i finished getting ready at 7:18 pm, my mom is the one taking me to the party. I don't really like parties but this one...it feels different i guess? i'm excited and i'm quite nervous. We arrive at the party and i could hear music inside the house, this is going to be lit. "Okay here we are, if anything happens call me okay?" "alright mom". I walk through the door and there is a disco light on the ceiling, i have never been to a birthday party like this before. I saw my classmate Alisa and i smile at her "Hey Sofea, i'm glad you come to the party" she said with a big smile on her face.
I thanked her for inviting me to her birthday party and she told me to go to the kitchen if i need a drink. There is a lot of people here and i need some fresh air so i go to the second floor to get to the balcony. Finally i get to relax, i stare at the dark sky watching the stars glow in the dark sky. It feels really calming and i feel safe on this balcony watching the stars and ignoring everyone at the party. Suddenly the door to the balcony opens and i see a tall presence walking to the railing of the balcony. The balcony is very spacious and the tall human didn't notice another presence is watching them.
It looks like he was in the same situation as me, running away from everyone to get fresh air but now i'm annoyed that someone interrupted my peaceful time. The tall human turned around and saw my presence, his head tilted to the side as he saw me watching him. The dark sky is making it hard for me to see the tall human's face. I freeze in my spot as he watches me stand next to the round table.
He starts to walk towards me in a slow pace, when i saw the face to the tall human i realised it's Loris. He was staring at my face then his eyes travels to my body "nice dress" he said. I was surprised he complemented me. "thanks, you don't look so bad yourself" i said. He nods and turn his back to me and stares at the dark sky on top of us. "i'm surprised you are here because you know...i thought you didn't have any friends" he said. I let out a breathy laugh "she invited me because i helped her with some stuff" i said.
"do you go to parties often?" he asked. "no, i don't go to parties often but i thought it would be a good idea to come" i said. "do you have a lot of friends?" i asked. "i have a couple of friends, most of them are quite fake but i try to not be too close to them" he replied. That is why i don't have friends, i know one of them will someday betray me. It's getting a little bit windy and the air is getting cold so i rub my arms to give them some heat. He noticed and unzippes his jacket and hands it to me.
I take the jacket and put it on "thank you". i said with a slow voice. We continue to stare at the sky in complete silence, the silence is not awkward. It's quite relaxing. It's getting cold and i notice him getting cold, i told him it would be better to stay inside, he agreed.
I gave him the jacket and he gave me a nod. We both go downstairs to see what other people are doing. My classmate, Alisa. She notices us and starts walking to our direction. By looking at her face, she is very confused. "do you guys know each other?" Alisa asked. I stare at Loris "well, kind of" he said. Alisa's head turns to me and starts smiling.
I was utterly confused by the whole thing. "i'm going to get a drink" i said. Alisa and Loris nods. i walk away from them and make my way to the fridge. I open the fridge door and there are many drinks to choose from. i grab the Pepsi because that one is my favourite. I still don't understand what Alisa was trying to do by smiling at me like that. Does she think me and Loris are dating? No, we are not dating. I know nothing about him, that will never happen.
I go to the backyard to be alone, i'm trying to stay far away from Alisa and Loris, I can hear music being played in the house. The sky is so beautiful. I take a sip of the drink in my hand and feel the fizzy drink go down my throat. I take my phone out and go on Instagram, Alisa posted a photo 10 minutes ago. Loris is in it. i wonder how they met each other. I turn my phone off and sit down on the wooden chair.
I put on my earphones and turn on songs by Lana Del Rey, she is my most favourite singer but no one knows that. I continue drinking the fizzy drink. I close my eyes to relax, it feels really nice being alone and listening to my favourite songs makes it a lot better.
