Kismet

Chapter 20- At the club (The challenge)

She stormed off towards the road, completely shattered in to pieces with disgrace and disappointment. Being already wet, and getting more wet under the drizzle at night; her mind did not answered anything.

While, Alfredo urged his best friend to go follow her.

"She's just crazy! Let her go..." said Justin, quite selfishly.

"Just go and stop her... What if she get lost or... or even accident and it's all gonna be your fault dude!"

He gave a cold stare, a look that was mingled with several feelings of fear and anxiety. Within one second, he got up to his feet and rushed towards her distance screaming with a loud cry.

Melissa did not stopped, in fact she even disliked to see his face at the moment. "Melissa stop!" Justin ordered, as he gripped her arm tight. She shrugged his arm away, yelling: "leave me alone!"

Whilst a car, just halted in front of them. The headlights were directed on the two figures in the middle of the road.

A medium height, slim and a gentle figure got out of the car. She was Pattie Mallette- Justin's mother. Her eyes were oblong, thinking what is going on.

"What is happening Justin?" She asked, "are you alright?"

Her eyes averted from Justin to this mysterious girl. "Who is this?" She questioned with a soft tone as usual. "Ah, mom... Could you please take her in to the party again?"

"I'm not going in there..." Melissa broke her silence. Justin moved out of the pace along with his mother to explain her shortly.

"Justin this is a big risk! You don't even know her... It's-"

"I've already known her enough mom... Now please!" Justin said with his eyes on Melissa.

Ms. Mallette walked towards her, and whispered: "Come along with me child..." She could not possibly disagree with her as she is an elder.

Justin was impressed because Melissa did listened to his mother and changed her rapid decision.

They walked in, and now that everyone has moved to the club which was one of the finest of all clubs in the country to commence the real party.

"Your cloths are damp dear..." said Ms. Mallette, kindly. She offered her blazer and wrapped it around Melissa whom was dripping wet.

Melissa was almost touched by her concern and she reminds of her own mother. Both entered the club room, where the birthday cake was arranged beautifully. Everybody was gathered around.

And there was a loud pop sound of magical birthday dust at the entrance. The birthday boy dressed in short-sleeved plaid shirt pairing it with drop crotch pants.

He has had a makeover since his clothes were wet.

Everyone sang the birthday song, where Melissa was beside Ms. Mallette. As usual, things were celebrated. It all started with Champagne and continued as a chain...

Melissa seated in a corner, with Justin's mom; she tried as much as she could to stay away from everyone- specially Justin.
