SAVED

ZAREENNA

For the first time in her entire life Zareena was praying for time to go slower.

This holiday had been the best holiday she had spent yet! During the day time her house was always noisy. James, Steph, Amy and Dylan almost spent the entire holiday with her and everyone's buzzing about the party just two days away!

'What are you gonna wear?' Amy asked.

Since their conversation in the café, Amy was more of a friend Zareena thought she ever will be.

'Dunno' she shrugged and Amy gave her a disapproving look.

'Don't tell me you are going to wear that!' she waved at her cloths.

'Fine, I won't tell you'

They laughed at that and Amy huffed.

'No, it's just Julie is buying me a dress and told me that it will be a surprise. I won't get to see it until I quote "the perfect time"'

She said putting air quotes

They laughed at it was her time to huff. She muttered same inappropriate words about parties, dresses and girls....

This made them laugh even harder.

'Guys?' James asked mischievously 'Truth or Dare?'

Two days passed like a blur of happiness and laughter and Zareena understood what it was like to live. In Zurich she had zero friends, zero freedom of course she had Arden and Zean but that was it.

She hadn't had slumber parties, day outs; she hadn't even played a game of Truth or Dare, like a normal teen would.

And today she was going to a real high school party with real friends. She was going to a party where people will wear jeans and sweatshirts not ties and coats, to a party where the air will be filled with loud music, sweat drinks not violins, pianos and champagne.

And Julie had to ruin it by FORGETTING her dress.

'Julie I could KILL YOU!' Zareena growled. 'Am I supposed to wear jeans and a shirt?!'

It was only two hours until James comes to pick her up and Julie was telling her only now that she had forgotten to buy her a dress!!

'You could wear one of mine?'

'I'm going to a high-school party, not to a ball room dance.' She spat without a thought.

'Yeesh' Julie mumbled. 'Rude.'

She was about to say some words about being rude and rip Julie's throat, but froze when someone rang the doorbell.

'Oh my God. It's Conner!' her voce a few octaves high. She ran through the room. 'Tell him I'm dead. No, that'll make him come to see me. Tell him I puking my guts out. That'll disgust him. Yes, tell him that Julie, tell him that.'

Julie chuckled as she went to get the door.

'What are you laughing at?'

She forgot her dress and now, she's laughing at her too.

'It's not James grumpy. It's Gale and he has a surprise for you.'

'One surprise is enough for one day, thank you very much'

'Hey!' Gale entered stretching his hands dramatically and embraced Julie in a bone crushing hug.

'You got your hands full.' Zareena commented.
