Rachel Wells has always liked Arjun Kumar since sophomore year of high school, but always kept it to herself as he was dating another girl. Ethan Lin, one of Arjun's best friends, notices her feelings towards Arjun and befriends her, hoping to comfo...
"Liz, Ethan invited me to a party tonight. You wanna come with?" I ask right after I get to my room when I see her in the kitchen. She turns to look at me so quickly, probably giving her a whiplash.
"Who are you and what have you done with Rachel Wells?" she asks ominously and I slap her arm playfully.
"Dude. Trust me. It's not like I want to go. Ethan's guilt-tripping me into it. And you are coming with me. Why did I even ask you?" I comment, sighing at the fact that I had to choose a nice outfit for the party.
"GIRLL. I know you. He didn't guilt trip. You just want to see him. And nope. No excuses" she says, and places a finger on my lips when I go to argue, silencing me effectively.
"I shall be generous and accompany you tonight. How gracious of me" she states in a fake nice voice, and I push her hand away, punching her shoulder.
"Ow-is that how you repay my kindness?" she exaggerates, rubbing her shoulder dramatically.
"Liz I didn't even hit you that hard" I deadpan. "Anyways help me choose an outfit" I yell, heading to my room with Liz trailing behind me like an excited child.
"I swear you're liking this more than me" I utter, shaking my head. "Well duh. My ship is finally going to sail" she replies simply before pushing past me towards my closet as I stare at her pointedly.
After staring at my closet for a complete hour, we finally decided on a simple white t-shirt and a black skirt. Simple goes a long way according to Liz.

"Girl Ethan's going to lose his mind" Liz tells me as we both look at my outfit sprawled on my bed.
"His mind is not going to be lost. He does not look at me like that. How many times am I supposed to tell you?" I huff, getting annoyed at her notion.
"I'm gonna keep saying it until you two get together" she states finally before going back to her room.
I ignore her words and change into more comfortable clothes before putting on "Lovely Runner" on my laptop. I was really behind on the show.
3 hours later
I hear a knock on my door and see Liz's head pop by.
"What?"
"Girl. It's 8.15. Don't "what" me. We have like less than an hour to get ready" she reminds me and I groan at the thought of having to get ready. I sluggishly get out of my bed and head towards the bathroom to change.
My mind goes towards Ethan's texts from before. What did he mean by that I would see him? For some reason, I was nervous about seeing him later. He sounded as if he was planning something. Now that I think about it, Ethan had been more touchy around me recently, especially this afternoon.
Flashback
I check the time on my phone to see that I had been working for over two hours. I was currently ignoring Ethan because he had been mean to Luca and for some reason he had opted to just staring at me while I was working.
