Meet me In The Rain

Chapter-1

"Oh, by the way, Mihir and I are kind of going out." I stopped straightening my hair. I swallowed back the lump in my throat.
"I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING GOING ON, NO WONDER YOU WERE AVOIDING ME."
"Was I? I never noticed." Vinny giggled through the phone." Hey, isn't your party in like an hour? You should get ready soon. I'll leave you to it,byeeee."
My screen turns back to the music I was listening to, ironically, love on the brain by Rihanna.

I try going back to straightening my hair, but it's hopeless. Tears shed down my face. What was I thinking? My straightened hair was just frizzing up anyway.
I try fixing it but got lost in thought.
She likes him? Does that mean I'll have to try talking to him again? Oh no. My heart races, and I can feel the cold sweat forming on my back.
I take a deep breath just like I practised and put the music back on, forwarding the song. Sorry, riri, it's time to bad ass my way through this. I play Sheila ki javaani and start vibing when I realise....Wait a fucking second why should I feel bad about any of this
FUCK HIM AND FUCK HER
WHY SHOULD I CARE ABOUT THEM!?
TWO PEOPLE WHO CLEARLY DONT CARE ABOUT MY OPINION ABOUT SOMETHING INVOLVING  ME.
Didn't that son of a bitch assault me?
(Did he really...?) My mind says in that voice not digestible to my ears anymore.
"Ugh," sighing in frustration, I quickly sit down in front of my mirror to see the damage. I looked like a melted wax doll.
It was on me to put my makeup on before straightening my hair, but how could Vinny tell me that right as I was getting ready for the party.
I finally thought I could celebrate something, and this is what I get in return. I lean back but forget u don't have support and try to gain balance,I giggle at the comedic scene. I look at myself through the mirror. "No I'm not going to sulk I've never been in a better mood and I can't do that to Reem, she put so much effort into planning all of this because I haven't gone out in so long".

As if she was listening through the walls her call flashes on the screen.
"Mayaaaaaa are you ready yet please tell me you're almo- OH MY GOD what happened to your face? Are you OK? Did you get your period? No, please tell me you didn't. Are you drowsy? No way, right?"
"Ri stop, I'm fine it's just the heat, how can you not have guessed that one? I'm disappointed."
"I don't believe that buuuut you won't tell me right now so I'll get you drunk today to find out, so come quickly."she looks up at me again and scrunched her face." And fix THAT,"she says, waving at my face.
"Just for that, I'm going to come looking like this." I say with a lighter chest. She always knows how to make me feel better.

"Ewww, for the party, you MADE me plan for you? "she says, acting offended with her hand on her heart. Wiping a non-existent tear out of her eye, she looks at me and says,"Well, get your ass up and out of those pjs you know how long sarees take to drape", I smile."Stop with the guilting, I'll tell you when I get there." I get up ," although, you will have to get me a teensy bit drunk."
