..."No matter what happens, some memories just can't be replaced"—Unknown

Iretiola's POV

It's the D-Day, today's the freshers party which explains why basically all the girls are running around like headless chickens. I have to admit that it's amusing watching them from the comfort of my bed. "Borrow me this..." "This will fit me..." "This will go with my dress..." "That dress is fire.." "Are you sure these shoes will match.." .

I honestly don't understand why they desperately want to look good. It's not their damn wedding for Christ's sake.
They're disturbing me. I thrive in peace and quiet. Thank goodness, I have headphones, I'll just listen to music.

I listen to music with my sleep mask on with the joy of not partaking in any of this madness playing in my mind till someone taps me. I ignore till the person starts jiggling me. I'm forced to take off my sleep mask to see Aarin.
"What are you doing here?" I ask while pausing the music and taking off my headphones "I'm here to help you get ready, what are you doing?!" she says and I check the time on my phone "I'm relaxing and it's 16:49, isn't it too early to start preparing for a party that's starting by seven pm??" I ask and she stares at me like I've grown two horns on my head.

"That's not enough time, there's a lot of changes that need to be made to your appearance " "are you insinuating that I'm ugly?" "Right now,yes" she answers"well good luck getting me out of this bed before 18:30" I retort " I don't need luck, you either follow me now or I'll drag you out right now. You have 3 seconds to decide 1...2...3.." I make no move to get up and she drags me by my foot much to the amusement of the girls present in our room as they take out their phones "You wouldn't dare" I say directly to Aarin "watch me" she replies right before pulling me off the bed. Now my butt hurts. "If you think I'm going anywhere with you after this,then you're probably drunk" I deadpan "Don't worry, I already knew I'd have to drag you out anyways"  she flips me over and drags me out making me wiggle. "Okay, okay, I'll come with you, just stop dragging me please, people are staring" I plead and she lets me get up.

We get facials done along with our nails. Don't ask me,she knows people. When we're done prepping up,she takes me back to her room and woah, I have never been in here,it's so pretty,eewww,so many colors. "Your room is beautiful" I compliment "Thank you,I worked hard to make it look this good" she responds with a sassy flip of her hair. "So... what are you going to wear?" She asks me "Shouldn't you have asked me to dress up before coming here?" I retort "No,cause God knows what atrocity you plan on wearing. Now answer the question" "Well, I was planning on wearing my very special cropped top with cargo pants" I say and her jaw drops open. "Thank goodness, I brought you here, now just open my wardrobe and pick a dress"
"

Do I really have to do this??" "Yes,now be fast" "you're lucky you're my friend" I sigh and start looking through for something I like.

She's satisfied when I pick out a short red bodycon dress,a black belt and black heels. She styles my hair and does my makeup,no heavy stuff,she just highlights my natural features.

We are surprisingly done by 19:21. She looks stunning in her purple gown that leaves her stunning body on display. "Let's go, we're running late" she declares "oh please, there's no such thing as being late to a party, when you look this good,it is said that you're fashionably late so, let's make videos and take pictures" I suggest and she instantly agrees.

Wow,my followers on TikTok have now increased to over six thousand thanks to the video of me being dragged around like a ragdoll.

Once we get to the party, literally all eyes are on us,like damn mind your own business people!. I wear my resting bitch face and make my way into the party. By make my way,I mean I'm following Aarin. She takes me to greet her friends. Damn,she has a lot of them. When we finally find somewhere to sit. I let my eyes roam around the room and it actually looks good. My eyes come to a stop when I see Xanny, he's literally surrounded by girls, telling them something. What he's saying,I don't know but they look so invested. I look away not wanting him to catch me staring and I keep looking around, till my eyes land on Travis.
