I knew there was something suspicious, judging by the way that jungli billi was acting the whole day today.

But, i didn't expected her to do all that.

I think, i might have underestimated her a little, after all.

First, she punctured the tyres of my car — that's twice she's damaged my car — and now this glitter thing.

I look like i've got a Disney makeover or something. No matter, how hard i tried to scrub off all that glitter, there's still some left, and it's super annoying.

I glare into my mirror, "you just wait jungli billi, i'll make you regret this."

ᯓ★

"Is that glitter?" Hamdan asks pointing towards my hair.

"Shut up."

"Dude, did you get a princess makeover?" he laughs adding more to my annoyance.

"If you don't shut up, i'll kick you out of my house," i warn him with a glare.

"You won't do that, you love me."

"I will, and ew no i don't."

"Ouch! After, all those years of friendship, this is what i get?" he gasps like the drama queen he is.

"Hamdan—" i get cut off.

"Hello, princess!" she exclaims while laughing.

"God," i sigh and close my eyes for a moment.

"See? I called him the same," Hamdan joins her.

"Doesn't he look exactly like those pretty princesses?" she jokes.

"I know right!" he exclaims and they both high five.

"You are so fun, Hamdan bhai. How come you're friends with such a grump like him?" she asks pointing towards me.

"Finally, someone appreciated me!" he glares at my way, "this rude man always takes me for granted."

"For both of your kind information, i'm still standing here," i say.

But they both ignore me and keep talking about me as if i'm invisible to them.

"Salute to you, for tolerating someone like him everyday," Aliyah says mocking me.

Hamdan laughs at her and nods his head, "I know it's hard, but he loves me after all!" he flashes me his grin.

"I don't!" i exclaim being done with both of them, "and you two stop badmouthing me infront me."

"It's not badmouthing, just facts," she shrugs.

I shake my head at both of them while sighing.

"Aliyah!" Amna aunty — her mom — calls from behind.

Her smile vanishes and she tenses as her mom approaches her.

Hmm, interesting.

"Ma, hi!" she exclaims rubbing the side of her nose — a habit of hers whenever she's nervous — and no, i wasn't noticing things about her, i'm just an observant person.

"Hi hello choro, pehle yeh batao aj tumhara test tha na? Kya bana?" aunty asks folding her arms.

Oh.

So, that's what got jungli billi to turn into bheegi billi.

I smile to myself.

Aliyah avoids her gaze as she tries to change the topic, but aunty doesn't budge from her question.
