Emiliana's Point of View
“So what now, Emiliana? Are you going to the party or not?”
I sighed right after my bestfriend Lily asked me the same question all over again for the ninth time! This girl! She really has time convincing me going with her to the bar with her friends not minding our finals will be in a week from now!
Lily has the audacity coming here right after what happened when a man flirted with me in the pool party she hosted and in an instant, someone grabbed my hair and gave me a hard slap on my right cheek. That time, I was really traumatized. Geez!
“I told you, Lily, I’m busy!” I said before looking at my reviewers again.
Lily stomped her feet on the ground like a baby. She’s been disturbing me the whole day now! Asking me if I could go with her to the party I never want to attend.
Parties gave me trauma. Right after Lily invited me to that pool party and fucking screwed up by the man’s girlfriend, I never attended to parties whenever Lily wanted me to. A lot of people were shocked, and I was embarrassed that time. The girl literally slapped me hard and accused me of being his mistress.
For God’s sake! I never knew he has a girlfriend, and I wasn’t the one who approached him first! It was him! Flirting isn’t really my thing. Well, that was just a casual talk. But it seems like the man took it seriously and assumed we’re flirting.
“You are no fun!” she complained.
I rolled my eyes at my bestfriend. Funny how Lily is okay ignoring important things because she’s rich. She has looks, money and is popular. She has the privilege while I don’t have. Lily’s status is far from mine. She came from an elite family while both my parents are dead.
I only work as a part timer during summer breaks and every weekend in order to survive and provide my brother’s medications.
“Do you think grabbing someone’s hair is fun?” I asked meaningfully. She chuckled a bit before clinging into my arms.
“Go with me, please, Emiliana?” She said cutely.
I harshly removed Lily’s hands from my arms.
“No thanks,”
“C’mon! That thing won’t happen again. I promise! It’s Candice’s birthday! She’s our friend!” she defended.
I sighed before looking away. “Your friend,” I corrected.
“Whatever! Please? I won’t let anyone slap you again! Nor touch you!"
Lily is really persistent convincing me to go with her. I couldn’t focus on my reviewers because of her nagging. When I looked at my brother, who’s peacefully sleeping on our bed, I had no choice but to nod to make her shut her mouth completely.
Her eyes widened because of what I said. She even squealed, but I covered her mouth and pointed my fingers at my brother, who’s sleeping soundly on his bed.
A playful smile crept on her lips.
“My brother is sleeping! Shut your mouth, Lily!” I warned.
She chuckled before apologizing cutely.
“Alright, then. Later eight! I’ll pick you up!”
Before nodding, I snorted. I’m not exactly sure if I’d come. I only say those to make her shut her mouth.
“Fine, fine. Just let me review, Lily.” I demanded.
After a few minutes, Lily went home at exactly five in the afternoon while my eyes remains on my brother. I can say he’s pretty exhausted after the soccer practice they did yesterday.
He’s been reviewing too, just like me, for their exams that will take place next week. Thankfully, my brother isn’t a playboy like his friends. He’s obedient and studies hard.
Despite of being an orphan, both of us still managed to work our ass off and send ourselves to school. I sighed heavily when hunger suddenly hit me. I stood up when my stomach cooed.
I was in the middle of cooking our food when Evan woke up.
“What time is it?” He asked lazily.
“Five. Almost six in the evening. Why?”
He groaned.
Living in a small apartment is enough for us. Our parents died when we were still kids back then, but still God guided us made everything up to this date.
Right after cooking our dinner, I immediately prepared the utensils on the table. Just like what I expected, my brother is still reviewing for their exams while eating.
“How’s the soccer practice, Evan?” I asked casually, focusing on my food.
He shrugged his shoulder without looking at me. “Nothing special so far.”
I arched my brow. “I’ll sleepover at Lily’s house later. We’ll review together.”
Of course, that was a lie. Evan knew Lily, but he didn’t know what she’s up to sometimes. I admit, Lily is a big help for us when it comes to financial problems. In exchange, I tutor her for free and do her assignments sometimes.
Well, my bestfriend is a spoiled brat. She’s kind, yes, but often a brat.
“Okay,”
That was the last thing Evan, and I talked about. I was about to go to bed when my phone beeped. I received a text message from Lily she’ll be here in twenty.
Funny how I still stood up and moved towards in the bathroom quickly. After bathing, I quickly went down and dried my self up when I heard Lily’s car beeping outside, just wearing my usual pajamas and shirt.
Her eyebrows arched when she saw.
“Damn girl. It’s a bar! Not pajama party!” She complained before rolling her eyes on me.
I quickly opened the door beside her. She was the one who’s driving the car beside me. Lily cockily drive the car faster that made me snort for a moment.
“I feel like something terrible is going to happen again,” I said.
Lily chuckled. “Chill, girl. I will assure you, there’s none!”
“If someone laid a finger on me again, swear I’m gonna kill you.”
Both of us chuckled because of what I’ve said. The party will start later at eight in the evening in a high-class bar located in New York town.
