Beauty With Extra Brains

Best Friends are forever, Boyfriends are whatever!

I cringed at the memory. How can he even do that to me. I helped him. He just used me to get to the top.
I washed my face clean and came out of the bathroom. Suddenly I heard someone banging my door loudly from outside. I opened the bedroom door.
There came my friends. Cara and Rhea, the other two members of our 'squad'.
"Girl, what you doing?" said Cara.
"What do you mean?" I replied.
"I heard you were crying like it's freaking apocalypse" she said hugging me. I hugged her back glaring at Gabe. She gave me apologetic look.
"Oh dang! Did I miss the show. I actually brought cheetos to enjoy the show" said Rhea laughing and hugging me.
"Oh sorry, was that a joke. Coz I forgot to laugh" I retorted.
We all went downstairs. Cara and Rhea leaned on sofa. Gabe was searching for movies on Netflix.
It was going to be a movie night. I went to kitchen to grab something to eat. When I came to the living room they were already watching a movie.
"Seriously guys! You are watching John Tucker must die for like nth time!" I yelled at them.
"Come on! It's a good movie" Gabe said rolling her eyes.
"You know what? It's so 'good' that I don't even feel like wasting my popcorn on it!" I replied  rolling my eyes and sitting on the sofa seat. Gabe was sleeping on the other seat. Kaa was sitting on the ground and Rhee was sleeping on the big sofa with her one leg hanging on the head of sofa with large cheetos packet in one of her hands. 'Queen'

Gabriella James, 25.She's one of most sought after hair stylist in world today. She's that member of the squad who has solutions for your every problem. Her parents are chartered accountants by profession and also my parents friends.

Cara Gosling, 25. She's a vogue supermodel. Prettiest of us all. She transfered to our school in junior year. We instantly became friends and became the 'awesome threesome' of school. But still we always wanted to be 'the powerpuff girls.' Yeah, life is harsh sometimes.
She became the prom queen of our school in senior year. She's the daughter of a ex-supermodel and a film producer who owns Gosling Productions.
She's the miss 'cleavage does it all' of group. Not being mean, but we use her for getting something done sometimes and she knows it. She's in relationship with Dylan Thatcher, a popular pop star.

Rhea Dev, 25. She's Indian. We met her in second year of college. I met her through Kaa and Gabe. Kaa had her first photoshoot for which Gabe was going to style her. Rhea was the photographer. She's one of the most sought after fashion photographers in world today. She's the most practical and sarcastic person of our group. She said her parents live in Mumbai. Her mom is very popular Indian retired badminton player and her Dad is a retired IAS officer. (Indian Administrative Services). She's single and rocking it.

Last but not least. Me. Natasha Parker, 25. Car Racer by passion and IT engineer by profession. I work in Richardson Co. Ltd, a fortune 500 company. Maybe world's 3rd best IT Company in world today. But it has a lot of different branches. Ah ah! I am no Beauty(ugly) With Brains.
My father is a popular lawyer and my mom owns a event managing company. I have a not so cute but highly overrated brother named Liam Parker. He is also a lawyer.

Our squad is often referred as Fantastic Four by media.

So did all this introductions ring any bells?
Yes, this is the sole reason he used me.

-----------------------------------------------------

"Guys! I want to take revenge" I said enough loudly for my friend to look up from the movie.

"Oh honey! Finally you came back" said Gabe.

"That's like my girl!" exclaimed Kaa.

"That's like my Cheetah" said Rhee.

"We always do watch this movie after a breakup for this" Gabe said chuckling.

"Remember what we did with jake?" asked Kaa

"Of course we do!" me, Gabe and Rhee said in unison.

Jake cheated on Kaa 3 years ago. We all thought that he was a good guy. Then we came to know about him. So we decided to play along. Obviously Kaa knew it. She was heartbroken and was silent for a week. Then one fine day we gave Kaa a delicious cupcake and told Kaa to give it to her boyfriend. He ate it like he had never seen a cake in his life before. But when we went to the gala with his so called 'friend', he couldn't control his body fluids. And kept on using the washroom for the whole night embarrassing her. They both deserved it! She knew about Kaa but still she chose to be a villain. So that's what we give to villains.

"But this time something bigger" I said eating popcorn. After all they are worth eating now.

Bryan not only used me, cheated me but also used to harass me with his male chauvinist thinking. He always used to make sure that I am getting embarrassed in public!

We discussed the plan for next 3 hours as if we were going to breach national security or something.

"Rhee, when are you going back?" I asked Rhee curiously. I mean we seriously don't get to catch her. She's constantly frequenting between Mumbai and New York.

"I just came yesterday dumbo! Only if you would've came out of your stupid heartbroken fairytale you would've noticed that! I am here for 3 months straight, I have a lot of work" she said glaring at me.

I felt ashamed that how can I miss that. I always meet her at airport first. I feel like one of those fake friends now

"I am sorry"

"Dosti mein ek usool hai madam! Dosti mein no sorry no thank you" ( it's a unwritten rule in friendship. There's no sorry no thank you in a friendship)

I understand hindi and marathi. I mean I only understand some of the lines not everything. That too coz my mom is a Indian.
I know but I am cocktail of everything. My mom is Indian with Italian descent while my Paternal Grandma was of Greek descent.

"Ok to whatever you said dude!" I replied her rolling my eyes.

"By the way I am sorry to you too Gabe! I know you were going to return on Saturday but you came back today. What did you tell Cassandra?" I asked Gabe.
Cassandra was the model Gabe was going to style at Milan.

"I told her it's a family emergency. Being such a kind woman she is, she let me go. Anyways don't worry I asked Keith to style her and see if everything's okay."

Keith was her assistant.

I felt guilty of lying to Cassandra.

" and don't feel guilty. You are a family to me. So it's not like I lied!" she added seeing my guilty expression.
