"Where were you guys? Do you realise that you have missed two lectures, "asked Siri as soon as we both entered the class. Thankfully, the last lecture had just finished and the teacher had left the class. We were safe from the teacher's punishment, but not from the gossip gang of the school. In between sorting our fight, we had made ourself the buzzing news in the whole high school. And then what I was fearing, just happened!

A group of students entered our class for finding us, me and Alex immediately hid ourselves behind the chairs. They didn't find us but were still successful in their motive by spreading the news to the whole class.
"Sophie and Alex,"said one.
"Big fight,"added other
"Yesterday's couple, Today, separated!"shouted the other.

Listening to the last line, I could see Alex's white face, turning red in anger, his fist clenched and he was just about to stand and beat the guys up but I held his arms. I could feel his muscles tightened due to the anger. I looked at his face and give a signal to calm down and he did. Alex couldn't beat them up but I know I had Eliza there for me.

"What did you just spoke? Bloody assholes! Get out and mind your own business or shall I burst out what you were doing in the corner of the school's canteen the day before Justin, with that girl.... And you Ahmed, shall I tell your girlfriend about your other exs. Better would be, I shall shout about this in the whole school. Banners will be even more better. Now get out you bloody fools."
This was enough to shoo those people away. I loved Eliza for this and for everything.

As soon as they were gone and I and Alex got up and took a sigh of relief, we were surrounded by four of them-Eliza, Siri, Navy, Kara plus Richard, was extra. Everyone's eyes were glued to us, waiting for an answer. Thank god it was lunch break.

The whole lunch break was spent explaining them what happened. The story was  although, half-cooked, on the spot. The reason for our fight was switched to a casual one and some scenes of the fight we had in the locker room were deleted. Our patch up story was completely changed by making it a simple "Sorry" patch-up. I was hoping for their questions, going to be darted on us but thankfully, they believed our lie!

After the break, I shifted back with Alex. Though our teacher gaped at me the whole day, as earlier, I was pestering around her to change my seat and now after few hours of her decision only, I had ruled it out and was back with Alex.

The whole day was pleasant and I also asked Alex to say sorry to his brother on my behalf as I talked rudely with him. I was very happy that we were re-united! These two days were terrible for me and may be him also,but eventually everything was sorted. I could see a smile on Alex's face also the whole day in the school. Finally, now I was overjoyed by our victory of the competition!

"Amongst all this, we all forgot about your victory and that calls for a party," said Richard who was already in a party mood.

"Wooha!!  Party tonight!!" By seeing Eliza's face, I could easily guess that she had already decided  what was she going to wear.

"Tell me the venue fast. I have to arrange my things," was Kara's statement.

Navy and Siri had nothing to say but were waiting for fixing an appointment at the salon before the party.

Me and Alex were looking at eachother as we were having no idea. We cooked a story before and they all have cooked a party now! Above all, they have also decided that the party was going to be tonight.

"Calm down guys,"said Alex.

"Let me tell you before hand only, no excuses! We are going to take the party tonight only and that's final. Tell us the place yourself only or we will bump ourselves in your house Sophie!"said Eliza with no chill!

"Not my house please, you know Eliza, mom is back home from grandma's house," said I in protest.

"Then Alex's house is perfect. The venue is decided. It is going to be Alex's house," affirmed Richard without even asking him once.

"Alright then. As you people have not left me with any options, so party is tonight at my place. 8pm! Be at my home!" confirmed Alex.

And then everyone shouted a Yess!!

As we were leaving for home from the high school, Navy and Siri had already paced back home for their appointments to be booked fast. Kara was somewhere, where, I don't know and Eliza was with Richard. They were planning something for tonight that I and Alex had no clue of.

"Bye Sophie! See you tonight,"said Alex.

"Bye Alex," and we parted our ways in hope to see eachother in a short while.
                        --------------
Back home, my sister is elated on our patch up and more on the party part. Added to this is our victory. The trophie is with me that I would be taking to Alex's house tonight. We had again cooked up a story that me and her are going to a friend's house for a party and we would be late. As I am with my sister, she allowed. Actually,Amaranta was going out for a movie with David and we all would be alone. Chilling in.

In the evening I called Alex to ask if he required any help. He said a big no. He with his brother's help had managed to decorate the house a bit, decided upon few snacks to be ordered and few they had bought from the supermarket today itself. He tried to look relaxed but from his voice, I could sense that he was tired from today's sudden party. At the end of the conversation he also asked me to not take tension and instead of thinking about all this, invest some time to dress up and with this,he immediately cut the phone. I was blushing at his last remark and I suddenly remembered that I had to get ready.

My panick mode switched on. I turned my whole room and my almirah upside down. After half an hour of search,  I finally found the perfect outfit for tonight.

A white halter neck romper was what I choose and paired it with gladitor heels. I decided to wear a charms bracelet too.

I was ready now with my dress,heels and braclet worn. I had put-up a little cream on my face. Enhanced my eyes with a pin-up style eyeliner and put pink lip-gloss on my lips. The only thing I was left was my hair. I was having no idea what to do with them;to tie them or let them feee. And thus, I called my sister who was half way ready with a t-shirt and a shorts perfect for a movie date.

She took the curling rod and did open curls and let my hair open. She is a perfect stylist, knowing what suits me. I was completely ready what was incomplete was Alex's compliment.
