75. Lily's show and money problem

It's the weekend and I am going to 'White Chilis' to attend Lily's first performance. Why? Don't ask me. I have noticed that I have changed a lot. If it would have been Myra's previous year she wouldn't have bothered to attend any show for her friend. Whatever, I should at least attend for Serena if not for Lily. Serena was overly ecstatic about this. I have never seen her like that. She even suggested that she would treat us in the restaurant on Lily's behalf.

I would never understand why she loves her so much. I mean ... I don't know what it is to love someone without any reason. I love my mother because she is someone who brought me into this world and she also takes care of me but I don't think Lily has done anything for Serena. Then why does Serena love her? Maybe there are some things that I don't know. Oh, they are calling. Yeah, we are all going together in Lily's new car.

AFTER A WHILE IN THE CAR :

As usual, Serena is driving. Lily is seated in the passenger seat while all others are in the back seats. The car has more back seats than the normal car. That is why all of them are here. All people who get on my nerves.

" I can do this! I can do this! ", Lily shouted.

" What are you doing? ", Sam.

" Trying to encourage myself on my own. ", Lily.

" I knew that my aunt and uncle dropped her on the floor when she was little.", Sam who is sitting beside me.

Oh, he is talking today.

AFTER A WHILE :

We are finally here. I was feeling dizzy because of motion sickness.

" So first we have to buy tickets. ", Lily.

" What? We have to buy tickets. ", Lucas.

" Yeah, I will buy tickets for everyone. Just wait here. ", Lily.

I can't believe this. She should have bought it before. What if the club is already full?

It must be a corridor of the club. Not a lot of people are here. Guess, Lily will have to work very hard.

" Here guys. Now you guys can go inside. I will prepare myself in the rehearsal room. ", Lily as she leaves.

" Let us go. ", Serena.

As expected, no one is here except us and some elderly people. I wonder who they are?

For some reason, I am sitting between Claire and Lucas. Worst seating arrangement ever.

" Oh, the show is going to start at 11:00 A. M. ", Lucas excitedly.

" Yeah, but I am bored. ", Claire.

" Don't say that you will discourage her. ", Lucas.

" Alright, Romeo don't make a fuss about it. ", Claire.

Oh my God. Why did I sit here? My head is throbbing because of these two.

AFTER A WHILE :

" I have a cousin who ignores people because of his superiority complex ...", Lily on the stage.

Yeah, she is talking about Sam.

" Oh no, she fumbled. What am I gonna do? "Lucas.

" You can't do anything so shut up. ", Claire whispered.

" Although it's better than I expected...", Sam.

" Oh no her hands are shaking. I have to help her ...", Lucas whispered.

" Shut up Lucas. ", Claire.

" She is glaring at me. " Lucas.

" It's because you are spouting nonsense while her performance. Shut up! We are sitting in the front row. ", Claire seethed.

Since Lily is the new stand-up comedian her show was scheduled for the morning. I have heard that most of the shows are scheduled in the evening.

AFTER A WHILE :

Lily's show is over and we are now in some nearby park where Lily is chasing Lucas because he kept talking during the show.

" I am going to kill you! ", Lily running after Lucas

" But I was just worried about you! ", Lucas.

" Now we are going to a restaurant. It's my treat. ", Serena.

----+++++--------+++++----

We finally ended up in a five-star restaurant. I am pretty sure everything is pretty expensive here. Because of sophisticated furniture and high-class people gathered here. I know some people here. I met them because of my father.

" Guys don't you think we aren't dressed up properly for this restaurant? ", Claire.

She is right. We are all wearing jeans and T-shirts while all others are dressed up in dressed and tuxedos. We look like frogs among swans. But I don't care that much even if all people are looking at us like we committed some crime.

I feel like the grim reaper has descended to take my soul. Why? Because the menu of this place is ....How should I put it? It's like the per capita income of rich people around the world.

" Order whatever you want. ", Lily.

But we all stare at her. Because it's not her who is paying for this food. It's Serena and Serena is not rich like most of us.

"I will have vegetable soup. ", Claire said abruptly.

Oh, it's the cheapest dish on the menu.

" Me too. ", I say.

" Yeah ...", Lucas.

" What? You guys don't even know what to order. Here let me order. ", Lily.

No! Lily, you don't what you are doing.

In the end, Lily ordered all the expensive dishes and we had to eat them whether we liked them or not.

Now, we are in a very tricky situation. Bill is here and Serena is opening her wallet to pay the bill ...

" Wait, I am going to pay for my food. ", Claire.

" Yeah, me too. I haven't spent any money for a long time. ", Lucas.

Oh no, I will also have to pay myself.

" I think Myra should pay for all of us because she is the daughter of a billionaire. ", Sam.

Damn you Sam.

" Yeah, she hasn't treated me ever although we are childhood friends . ", Claire.

" No, I am the one who promised to treat you so I am going to pay. ", Serena.

Yes, Serena is the best.

" Yeah let her pay. ", Lily.

Lily needs to shut up.

" No, it's okay I will pay. ", Claire.

" No, I will pay. "

" No, I will ..."

" No, I will ..."

Great now we are fighting for who will pay.

" Hey guys why are you behaving like this? I can pay. ", Serena.

Not knowing what to say we all start looking at each other awkwardly until Sam speaks.

" Because they know that you are not rich like them and that you need to save as much as possible. ", Sam said.

" Oh no you don't need to worry about that. Serena has got enough money for now. ", Lily.

Someone, please tell her to shut up.

In the end, Serena paid while all of us ran out of the restaurant as quickly as possible. Of course, Sam and Lily weren't bothered at all.
