Chapter 3 Loosen up

I contemplated wearing a black short dress that clung unto my body. I felt good in the dress but i couldn't shake out the voices in my head reminding me of how fat and ugly i was. I ended up with some loose black pants, a big red hoodie that was paired with my Jordans. I combed out my hair and decided to put it in a pony tail. I looked okay i guess.

Tiffany arrived a few minutes later. "Let me in quickly", she tried to get in through my window. This wasn't the first time we were sneaking out of me house because my siblings were pretty strict.

I opened the window and Tiffany got in. She was wearing a skin tight short blue dress that completes her skin, paired with some black silhouettes. She looked stunning.

"Look who decided to change her outfit,You look good babe", i complimented her. "Yeah, i feel like this suits the occasion better", she says while grinning.

"Is that what you're wearing?", She askes, finally looking at me. "Yeah, is something wrong with it?", i ask, already feeling bad about my choice of outfit.

"No,it's fine, let's just go already, we're late, it's not like you could do any better" she said while stifling back a laughter. I did not understand what was funny to her. I guess i missed the Joke.

We quietly snuck out of my house through the window. Tiffany had parked her car in the next street so we had to walk a bit to get there. In awkward silence might i add but maybe this was just me as she seemed to be unaffected by it.

We got to the car and Tiffany got into the driver's seat. I opened the passenger door to find it occupied. I was really surprised as Tiffany did not mention anyone coming with us. Before i could say anything, Tiffany chirped out," oh, Lily, this is Sasha..., sasha meet Lily.". I mumbled a quiet Hello. "Ah the famous Lily, I've heard so much about you", Sasha said while going in for a

hug. I was astonished at her forwardness, i merely returned the gesture.

Sasha had long ginger hair, and piercing basically all over her face and body. She was wearing a criss cross black top that covered just her boobs, a blue mini skirt and some heels. She was gorgeous not that I'd ever admit that to her. I did not like her already.

"I can't say the same about you", i say while giving Tiffany a Questioning look.

"Get in the back Lily, we don't have all night", Tiffany barked, clearly ignoring that I'm upset.

I got into the car quietly as Tiffany drove off. Sasha and Tiffany sang along to the loud music coming from the radio, while giggling and completely ignoring my existence.

Looking at them now, i feel a pang of Jealousy. Tiffany and i could never be like that. We never do anything together, not that we have anything in common. We're two different people. Now i wonder why she's friends with me.

"We're here babes", the car comes to a stop impromptly making me jerk forward. " Ahh, oh My God Tiffany, you almost killed me", i shrieked out.

"You're just so dramatic Lily", Tiffany said while eyeing me from the mirror. "Yeah just chill babe", Sasha said .

"Don't not tell me how I'm to react", i spat out, my anger directed at Sasha. My mum had told me once that one of our greatest freedoms is how we react to things and the fact that this happening pissed me off

Everyone was silent, the tension in the car could be cut by a knife. After what felt like 3 hours of awkward silence when in fact was barely a minute. Sasha spoke up.

" Everybody calm down, we all need a drink to loosen up, so let's just go in". Sasha immediately agreed, stepping out from the car.

I was still sat in the car, i needed to talk to Tiffany alone without any interruption from Sasha. Just as i opened my mouth to speak, Tiffany got out of the way. I hurriedly got down from the car and called out to her.

"TIffany wait, i need to talk to you", she paused, i had her attention.

"Why didn't you inform me about Sasha, i would have been more prepared knowing someone else would be joining us, you just side stepped me and I'm not happy about it." Tiffany just glared at me, not saying anything verbally but her looks says it all.

I could tell she was furious.

"Won't you at least say something", she continued glaring at me and if looks could kill, I'd be six feet under.

"Must everything always be about you, God! you're such an attention seeking ,self absorbed bitch." Tiffany was yelling at this point. People had stopped walking to find out what was going

on.

"Let's just go in babes, people are already watching, you need to loosen", Sasha tells Tiffany as she moves to take her hand.

" you always have to embarrass me every single time then you wonder why nobody likes you". Tiffany said while taking Sasha's hand and walking away.

I stood there, utterly perplexed as how a simple conversation expressing myself had turned into a argument. I decided to go into the party and just loosen up,as apparently that's what everyone has been saying.
