Penny
After A few Weeks At Anna's Place
"So what should I wear? This blue tank top or this black dress?" Anna skimmed through her dresses in her huge closet.
"Whatever you like Anna. You look nice in every thing," I said. She shot a glare at me.
"Penny you are here to help me out for this date. I mean come on!"
"I am telling the truth Anna."
She rolled her eyes but still smiled at me.
"You are impossible but still my best friend."
We were sitting her room while she was getting dressed up for the concert of X Factor. She was hugely excited for it. Duh! When isn't she?
"Steve will be here any moment," she giggled all happily. I smiled at her enthusiam. Anna never failed in becoming excited in any event. Its so natural for her.
She chose the blue tank top and a mini skirt. As usual she looked damn pretty. She smiled at her reflection in the mirror, then turned to llok at me.
"I wish you could come too Penny," she said.
Yeah right! To go where that Zayn Malik will sing and dance from whom I am avoiding for the past few weeks.
Yeah totally I would love to go!
"Anna go and have fun with Steve," I said to her.
Suddenly a phone started ringing. It was Anna's. She picked it up. It was Steve the lover boy.
"Hi Steve, I was got ready. When are you coming?" Anna said as she twisted her hair absent mindly. An indicator that her excitement is bubbling inside her.
"Oh no! Now what? You already gave me those tickets."
Oh! Steve cancelled the date.
i just hope Anna doesn't start crying. She is very sensitive.
"What Penny? Yeah! Ok! Take care of your Mom alright? Bye!! Love you." Anna kept the phone and looked at me inocently.
Oh no! I smell trouble. When ever Anna looks innocent that surely means big trouble.
"Penny come with me to the concert. Steve can't go because his mom is in the ICU."
I stared at her blankly.
"No." I said in a point blank sense.
"Penny! Please! I am dying to go there. One Direction will perform. Please Penny. Please I can't go there all alone. Please! Come with me." She literally begged.
God!!!!!!!!!! I hate when Anna does this emotional blackmail.
"Anna.."
"Please Penny." I feared she will start crying. I sighed and then gave up.
"Ok fine. Let me tell Kathy atleast that I am going to this concert."
"Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" She screamed at the top most level of her voice.
Better give me a treat later Anna. I am going to see Zayn sing. Wow! He will faint seeing me there. I thought bitterly.
From the last weeks I have been avoiding him. In the chem class he tried to talk to me but I just did my work and didn't even utter a word.
And now I am going to this concert.
Kill me.
I called up Kathy to tell her I am going out. I thought she would obejct but instead she went all mad telling,"Go, go. Have fun. Don't worry about Mum and Dad. I will handle them."
What an elder sister I got. Lucky me.
"So lets go." I said and got off from the bed.
"What lets go? You need to get dressed Penny."
Excuse me but what???? Dress up??????
"Anna I am already dressed," I pointed at my blue jeans and reebok t shirt.
"No ways you are going like that. You need to change into this red dress." She held up a deep red dress.
No way I am wearing that!!!!!!!! I never wore a dress ever in my life.
"And these glasses have to go off. You have your lenses right?" I nodded. I hardly wore lenses. I kind of liked staying behind my glasses, though I always kept lenses in my bag.
She handed me the dress and shooed me off to the bathroom to put it on.
As I put on the dress and lenses. At first the lenses hurt but then I blinked away a few tears and I could clearly see.
I went out of the bathroom.Anna was waiting there like her life depended on this. She is damn drama queen you see.
She looked at me and then started jumping up and down.
"Penny you look so pretty. Oh god!!! From now on this dress completely belongs to you," she said.
Huh?? Do I look that good?
I was about to face the mirror but then Anna totally grabbed me and made me sit on her bed.
"No! You can't see yourself till the time your whole makeup is done."
She put out her make up kit and started applying on me.
Damn Penny! First this concert. then that dress and now makeup.
I think I am going to faint.
"Tada!!! Your make up is done!!!! You look awesome. I wish I had your eyes. I am jealous now." She smirked at me and made me turn around to see myself in the mirror.
And I would have collapsed right there.
The girl in the mirror didn't look at all like me. She looked..........way prettier than me.
Her hair looked shiny and her lips were plum pink. The dress fitted perfectly to her curves and her eyes had a smokey effect with purple eye shadow.
It surely wasn't me.
"Oh now come on Penny. Lets go." Anna dragged me from her room.
This night was going to be one of the hell nights of my life.
I just knew it.
