Off to party

Sophie, are you here?" Scolded Ava.

"Yeah, I was just thinking that instead of you being afraid of this poor thing, it should be afraid of our ava.Maybe I should warn him of your wrath and he will scurry away" joked I.

"Oh Sophie, this is not the time for joking please help me and get this ugly thing out of my sight.I can't stand it" cried Ava.

"Okay okay Ava dear, I will get rid of it.Don't be scared" Said I mockingly.

I went inside to get a broomstick to get rid of the poor little rat.But When I came back it had gone, and Ava was trying to get off the table on which she was standing.I hurriedly went to her and helped her get off the table.

"Oh good I am glad that thing got away if it stayed there even a minute extra I would have literally fainted and fallen off the table"cried Ava dramatically.

"Don't be dramatic Ava.It was just a wee little thing, and who would have dared to make mighty Ava faint.If anyone has any sane cell in their brain they would never even dare to think about it" chimed I mockingly.

"Oh that's too much exaggeration Sophie.I am not that bad" said Ava with a smirk.

"Oh dear, We are getting late for the party.Hurry Sophie,we are going to have soo much fun" Announced Ava.

As soon as she mentioned going to the party,I remembered I was searching for my phone before Ava screamed.

"I can't find my phone, Ava" chimed I dejected.

"What's the emergency? If you have to call someone you can use my phone, now hurry up we are getting late" Stated Ava matter-of-factly.

This party has been Ava's idea and she had persuaded me to come with her. I didn't have any interest in partying but seeing my best friend with her pleading eyes I couldn't say no to her. She thinks I am stuck up and need to enjoy my life more. It's not like I don't want to have fun but partying is not my seen.I get overwhelmed around people. It's like I feel lost in a crowd, I feel a tinge of loneliness everything I am surrounded by people.

Ava is the only one in this place who I know closely and care so much about. I don't like getting close to people or forming attachments. I am afraid of getting rejected and never feeling enough.But with Ava I don't feel these things she is a ray of sunshine in my dark world. I have very bad experiences with people. My past is not all rainbows and sunshine infact far away from it.

"Sophie, Where are you off to? You keep getting lost in thought.We are already late Come on" exclaimed Ava.

I know I could not get out of it now. I have to go now or else Ava is gonna kill me.She knows I am trying to bail out.

"Yeah yeah But You are driving" I knew today she was not letting me go. I have to go to the party or face her wrath. I would chose the former option anytime given the choice.

"Yippyyyyyy we are going to have so much fun sophie" exclaimed Sophie childishly.

"C'mon now Ava" shouted I. I braced myself for the long and tedious party.

Ever happy Ava opened the car door excitedly.I have no interest for going out tonight. I just want to curl my self on our sofa and watch some shitty show to pass the weekend. But seeing Ava this happy is worth going to the party. Atleast,one of us is going to enjoy.

"Sophie,You are going to love that place.It's a beautiful club where they are hosting the party" said Ava excitedly

"And who is hosting this party,Ava? You never told me that" Stated I matter of factly.

From the driver's seat Ava was glaring at me.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Said I nonchalantly.

"Don't act like you don't know why I am glaring at you, girl. You know you are a pain-in-the-ass unsociable friend.This is the first time I was able to persuade you to come to this party. And don't think I am naive enough to think you wanted to go there. You were trying to bail out at the last moment, you evil witch. And for the record you never asked any question about the party. I am just delighted you came with me.It's our 3rd year in this town and you barely know anyone. I am worried for you, Sophie. You always seem to be lost in your head. I know you are hiding something related to your past about me but girl you gotta let go of your past and start living your life. And If you want to talk about it, I am always there for you." Rambled Ava. I felt like a shitty friend. Ava was worried about me and my non-existing social life. 

I felt bad for keeping things from my friend but I don't want to taint my present with my past.

I Stated hurriedly," Okay okay, I surrender my lady. Now I will just shut up and let you take me wherever you want " ending it with a closing zip motion on my lips.

I gazed out of the window and saw that we are far away from our place. I thought asking Ava but instead kept my mouth shut.

After driving for an hour, we reached the place. It was large building and looked posh.I was wondering what were we doing in this posh place. I thought Ava meant party in some local pub not in such a high class building and we got invited here baffled me.

"Come on girl let's party" said Ava dragging me with her out of the car.
