" Look I already told you, Cat, I don't want to go out. "

" Oh come on, Scar. You've been locked up in your room for days, all you do is play your guitar or read. "

" Better than going out to God-knows-where and have millions of eyes stare at you like a hawk. You know how uncomfortable that makes me feel. "

" We're only going to a concert, a lot of bands will be playing tonight, it will be fun! "

" What if something bad happens, like, what if we lose each other in the huge crowd or we get kidnapped? "

" Stop being so paranoid and we'll stick to each other like glue. Plus, Meghan and Taylor will be with us. "

" Still it's a no. "

Catherine signed in defeat and rubbed her forehead in frustration. No matter how many times she tried, she couldn't convince her best friend, Scarlet, to go on a girl's night out. She was as stubborn as a bull. However, this time she won't give up. Tonight, some of their favourite bands were playing and she'd be damned if she didn't bring Scar along with her. Plus, they'd been planning this for weeks. " Look, I don't know what kind of lame excuse you're trying to give me here. 1. There will be security during the whole concert and 2. You're a martial artist, aren't you? You've got some mad skills, with all the punches and kicks. I've seen what you can do during your competitions, you're a multiple republican champion, so if anything bad happens, you can kick their butts with no trouble. " the dark-haired beauty smiled innocently while patting the red head's shoulder, who gave her a look that said 'are-you-kidding-me' and a raised eyebrow.

" Okay, first of all, martial art is mostly about self-defense. It's a way of awakening your inner-strength, creating a balance between your mind, body and soul, not showing off and getting into fights with random people in the streets. And second, the answer is still no. " Scarlet crossed her arms over her chest and a frown appeared on her beautiful face as she scowled at her best friend like a mother would scowl at her child for bad behaviour.

All of Catherine's hopes went down the drain, now she was desperate to bring Scar along with her and have fun. " Oh please, Scar. I promise nothing bad will happen, it's just that, we've been planning this for weeks, and I know we've asked you to go out with us so many times and you always say no, but this time, I figured that maybe you want to go listen to some bands playing live, it's way more fun than listening to them on the radio. So please, Scar, come with us, pretty please!! "

Scarlet's features softened when she saw her best friend on the verge of tears. This time she was serious, she could tell by the look in her eyes. She couldn't count how many times Catherine tried to get her out of the house and spend time with her friends. Heck, even her parents kept telling her to go out more often and not lock herself in her room. She wasn't always in her room, she would go out and practice kung fu and taichi, which was her second passionate thing she loved doing, the first one being music, she loved to sing and play the guitar, she had been doing it since she was 10 years old, she would sometimes sing and play the guitar in front of her friends or family, but not in public, random people staring at her made her nervous and scared. So yes, she hated public places. She would rather stay home and play her favourite guitar or read one of her favourite Stephen King books, which was Carrie. So when Scarlet looked at Catherine, she was met with a teary-eyed puppy dog face that even though she looked ridiculous with the puppy dog look, made it difficult for her to say no.

Scarlet signed loudly, finally giving up, and gave her dark-haired friend a small smile. " Guess I don't have other choices, now do I? Fine, I'll go with you guys. " Catherine's sad frown quickly turned into a cheerful smile as she hugged her best friend tight and started jumping up and down in excitement. The read-head couldn't help but laugh at her reaction.
