The Niche

Introvert Struggles

No! This is not happening all over again; I refuse to give up this time.

"Stop you girls" I shouted, taking all of them by surprise.

"I am not wearing this full and final" I said putting my index finger in front of them.

"Okay" Aaleema mumbled and backed away along with Vedika.

"That's some progress" Shreya said smiling at me. I smiled back.

"Okay look I will wear what I feel like, I am wearing something comfortable" I started walking towards the closet of the room.

I looked into Vedika's closet which was filled with many clothes in exuberant colors all lined up perfectly. I took out a plain blue short top and paired it up with tight blue jeans that I was already wearing.

"No you looking too plain" Vedika said after looking at me for a long time.

"Vedu this not my party, its okay" I said

"We have accessorize it a little bit then "Aaleema said and again started browsing Vedika's closet.

"Look we can add a neck piece some heels" Aaleema came out with her hands full.

"Fine" I said and wore a black neckpiece round my neck along with black peep toe heels.

"Can we go already" Shreya said in an exasperated tone, she was dressed in denim shorts, white t-shirts and white converse.

"Let's go" Vedika shouted and we were out of her room, heading towards the drawing room which showed us out.

All of us sat in Vansh's car and he drove us to Varun's house and dropped us in front of his house.

His house was huge almost like a mansion decorated with lights, it was a beautiful sight. What really made that sight ugly were the people who were spread everywhere doing all kinds of things, dirty things.

We squeezed our way up to the doorway of his house and was welcomed by a bunch of people who were dancing to some techno beat like there was no tomorrow.

Jumping, swinging, swirling doing all kinds of action that made them cool. Some dropping some really cool moves other just moved loosely slapping people around them.

It was a dancing nightmare.

We made our way towards the corner of the room where Kabir (Vedika's new honey bunny) along with the host Varun was standing.

No Dhruv, amazing.

Kabir came first to greet us all and draped his arm over Vedika's shoulder and whispered something, Vedika blushed.

Varun came next acknowledging Shreya, Aaleema and Vedika and asking-

"Who is she?" looking towards me.

"Uhh...she is Kimaya our best friend" Shreya said pointing towards me.

I awkwardly waved.

"Hey, haven't seen you around much, you from our school?" he further questioned.

I felt like saying yes I am when I am not wearing my harry potter invisible cloak that my mother gave me, but instead I said-

"Yes" that to in broken syllables.

"Awesome then, enjoy" he shrugged and started talking to Aaleema and Shreya about something I had no knowledge about.

I waited for the conversation to come to an end but it never did so I looked towards Vedika who might be of some help, but she was too busy with her boyfriend, it wasn't my day of being a third wheeler so I came back to the 'don't understand anything, just nod' group.
