Chapter 3

  • **Kyla's POV**
  • True to her word, she does try her best. It takes nearly two hours of struggling to fix my face since this is the first time in almost a year I'm wearing make-up.
  • After making me "sparkle." She rotates the mirror, so I could have a look. I pinch my cheeks to make sure this is my real face.
  • "Don't touch it. You'll ruin it!"
  • She snaps and slaps my hand off my face getting a little powder to touch up the place I ruined.
  • "Fuck! I'm gorgeous." I say doing a little twirl while seating. Furthermore, I have to admit, Riley is fantastic at what she does. She turned a simple girl into a party bitch.
  • "You are, aren't you. Let's go!" She sounds pumped and excited unlike me. I just want the night over soon, so I grabbed my purse containing the things I would need, and we leave in a hurry. According to her, we are fashionable late.
  • My aunt may get home soon. She will let me go but I'd hate the questions that followed when I get back, so I have to hurry. I need to start acting my age.
  • We rush into Riley's car while I giggle. I feel a little rush within me. The feeling of breaking a law or doing something I'm not supposed to.
  • "Let's go!."
  • I scream with my hands high in the air, and she drives into the night.
  • ********
  • Music is blaring from all directions. My first ever high school party. People talk that the experience is forever, memorable, and I am about to find out.
  • "Let's go."
  • "Why are you in such a rush ?"
  • I question noticing her nervousness.
  • "Stein might get here soon. I want to see him before the girls start gushing over him."
  • She pleads with a pout.
  • "Sooner or later, you'll have to get over that crush or yours."
  • I caution with a playful grin.
  • "I'm not crushing on him, I fucking love the dude."
  • I roll my eyes while we stepped out of the car.
  • "What am I going to do here ?"
  • "It's easy Kyla. Go in, get drunk and dance like there's no tomorrow."
  • She grins, and I roll my eyes for the hundredth time.
  • "I don't want to drink."
  • "Don't be a buzz kill. Just one drink or two."
  • She tugs at my arm.
  • "Just one drink or two."
  • I agree and we were going in.
  • It got even worse by the time we reach the door. Students are trooping in.
  • If I thought my dress was short, some of the girl's clothing was extra short, and they didn't even care. Some guys will grab their ass earning a giggle from them.
  • I gag in disgust and trail behind Riley.
  • True to her words, Stein and some of his friends dropped in.
  • Riley gushes over him keeping her gaze unable to look away.
  • I wonder how someone could ever be in love with Stein.
  • "Come on, let's follow them."
  • "But why?"
  • I complain and she shrugs
  • "They're going upstairs. I might get a chance to talk to him."
  • "You know he'll say no."
  • "Still Kyla. I don't care if I get rejected, I just have to tell him how I feel before I explode."
  • "Alright girl. Good luck."
  • I beam trailing behind her. We walk upstairs following them into the room.
  • A group of students ars already there.
  • "This is it, I'll tell him how I feel. There's Stein."
  • She grins and we heard crackling behind us.
  • "Joanna! "
  • She exclaims. Joanna was like the boss bitch or something. The same girl who just overheard our conversation. She will surely make a mockery out of Riley.
  • "Good luck getting him to look at someone like you!"
  • "You'll be surprised, Joanna."
  • "Oh if it isn't the best friend Kyla. How pathetic."
  • She spat out and walk away.
  • "Okay people! Who's up for a little game of truth or dare."
  • A guy suggests making everyone squeal.
  • "This is perfect. I'll finally get an opportunity to confess my feelings. Let's play please."
  • Riley pouts her lips and I can't refuse. We move closer to the crowd and the game commences.
  • ********
  • After a while, the person asking the questions gets tipsy and goes out to the restroom for a while.
  • "I'll continue till he gets back."
  • Joanna offers with a dirty smirk.
  • "So Richard, truth or dare?"
  • The guy in question has his head bowed. He acts nonchalant throughout the game. I notice him out of everyone else.
  • He finally raises his head slightly and his eyes darkened.
  • They are hazel, and I nearly get lost in them.
  • I quickly avert my gaze, so I will not be caught.
  • "Dare."
  • He states simply.
  • "Great. This night is a little boring so why don't I make things a little weird. I dare you to use thirty days to make Kyla Malik fall in love with your best friends. You don't stop until they're hopelessly in love with each other. You're cupid, and I want you to shoot arrows. We all know you never turn down a dare so this was very interesting."
  • The whole room falls silent after those words and my gaze falls back on Richard. I squint my eyes to get an in-depth look, but he let out zero emotions.
