The next day, went the same as usual. I decided not to attend prom. When everybody else was rushing towards their places to get ready, I was planning how to escape from every peer who will be forcing me to attend. Determined, not to attend I returned to my dorm. The only way to escape this pathetic trauma, that I should go to my home town. It’s just few hours away. When I decided to leave, my room was a mess. So I played my favorite music and started cleaning my mess. I never thought that my room would be this messy. It took almost an hour to place everything on their actual positions.
After a long hour of dedication, I completed it and decided to take shower. It was almost 6:30 pm in the evening, the prom was meant to be started an hour later today. I decided to wear something comfortable to travel. I wore black skinny jean with a sleeveless t-shirt.
I took my college bag and filled some clothes and daily usage articles. I took my laptop bag and adjusted my laptop charger, lappy, power bank, etc. I was about to leave, when I decided to wear a hoody. Now, I was ready. As soon as I opened the door, I saw Ria, Mia and the other two powder girls standing. When they saw me in my travel mode, they were astonished. They all were dressed in very sexy prom gowns.
I simply said, “hi”. Ria gasped and pushed me inside, other girls also followed her.
She said a little horrified from my attire, ” why are you going? You promised me, didn’t you?”. I opened my mouth to answer but reluctantly failed, ” I-uh, I was- I mean”.
She cutted me in between, ” you are coming, or else I will call the boys inside and they will make your evening hell, if you won’t come”.
I retorted, ” No, I want to go home, I miss my mom”.
Mia replied cheerfully, ” Go tomorrow please, there would be someone waiting for you as well” .
Before I could say anything, Ria dialed someone, maybe Rony. We were still bantering, whether to go or not. Suddenly the powder girls opened my cupboard and removed a blue colored maxi gown. Before I could resist anything, someone came inside. They were Rony and Avi.
Avi exclaimed, ” I can date more than a girl at a time it’s my talent, please be mine tonight, please” he winked and gave a so sorry look to one of the powder girl standing behind me.
I said mockingly, ” I don’t date Casanova’s” and winked him back.
Rony gave another reply,” if you won’t then I won’t, actually nobody would. You will be responsible with the other chicks mood”. He smiled politely, I tried neglecting them but they over powered me every time. Finally after 15 minutes long discussion,
I felt defeated and said,” Fine, only because I don’t want to spoil your evenings, okay!”. They all were calmed and Ria suddenly prompted,” you to get out we want to dress her up to life”.
Avi denied saying,” I would love to see you women dress!”.
Mia and the powder girls pushed them out and closed the door with a bang. I chuckled and started unpack my things.
One of the powder girls said,” what do you think you are doing? Leave those stuff, we have only 15 minutes in our hand”.
Believe me they dressed me up so quickly. Ria managed my dress, Mia managed my makeup, the other two powder girls helped in managing my hairs. Within 15 minutes, I was transformed into a beauty. When I looked in the mirror, there was someone standing in a dark blue maxi dress with a thigh high slit, with golden killer hills. My hairs were tied up in a low bun, with golden earrings. The off shoulders were never my specialty, but today it was just making me glamorous, luckily thanks to my curves, it brought life to my dress. With all mascara, light blush, nude pink lipstick, I was looking killer in that dress. It was hard to recognize the women standing in the mirror, practically I was drooling myself.
Suddenly somebody distracted me, ” you look drop dead gorgeous! Give others a chance to drool over you”. Every body joined me in my stupid laughter. We head out of the dorm. I luckily took a small clutch accompanied by my cellphone. I was literally dangling with such a long heel. Some how managed to reach towards the car. By looking me a little clumsy,
Avi came running and grabbed my wrist and dragged me close to him. He made me walk a little faster and made me comfortable in his car. Today there were two cars. I decided to go with Rony’s car. Because I didn’t want another fight between powder girl and Avi. He was a nice guy, although a little over friendly , especially with girls. The ride to the campus was short. This time I managed both heels and my anxiety.
The auditorium was full of people dancing, boys flirting, girls getting tipsy and so on. I entered peacefully. We all were standing and enjoying the view.
Suddenly one of the boy from the group, ” I will fetch us some drink, what you girls want”. We all said the juices from the menu as alcohol was banned in the campus. After hanging out few minutes, one by one every one left for dancing. Avi was not ready to leave, but I decided to push him, because I can’t bear any daggers from his date. If any one could die from looks and staring, I would have been died till now. Someone could die by staring someone, then Avi could have been dead by now. I was left alone, I heaved a sigh and checked my phone. To my surprise he was no where. He might be still angry from me, I thought.
I spend my 10 minutes checking my WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook etc. Suddenly, a voice ringed in my head,” I wish he was here for you”. My heart was wishing him, I heard it repeating again and again. But I knew, he won’t be coming.
Suddenly the same voice ringed,’ maybe he is with someone else tonight’. I felt something weird burning inside me, I guess it’s called jealousy, wait a minute I am not jealous of anyone. I don’t care what he is doing or with whom. I tried hating him with all my might, but couldn’t success completely. I was left alone, so I decided to escape and have some peace of mind at my place.
