April tried some hundred dresses before finalising one for what she called as a first unofficial date with Rey. I laughed at her idea of an unofficial date, in a frat party wherein hundreds of other drunk students will prove to be a part of it.

I had never seen her this crazy and so in love. But I was too afraid that she might get hurt.

I had promised myself that if Rey does anything to break her heart I will beat him to death.

It was around 5:00 when I received a message on my phone from a private number. It read.

Unknown : Hey! Be ready by 7. I am coming to pick you up.

I knew it was Rebekah. God why can't she leave me alone and why is she so hell bent on receiving an apology.

No matter how hard I try to believe her words I just feel it's another game of hers to test my patience. I decided to ignore her message.

But this was Rebekah Williams I was trying to avoid. She won't make it easy for me.

Rebekah's POV :

I had asked Rey to tell April that he will be coming to pick her up so that Rex is left behind and has no choice then to come with me in my car when I ask him to. And so I texted him that I will be picking him up for the party.

Minutes passed but I received no reply. My stupid mind started to overthink that maybe he was avoiding me.

Somewhere I knew that there was a wide possibility of this but still it hurts me to accept it. I then thought of dropping him another text in case the first one went unnoticed but brushed the thought away.

My fingers grew impatient and before I could analyze something I was already dialing his number. He did not pick up my phone and this got me furious.

How can someone not pick up my phone? His stubborn attitude forced me to call him again and again till he finally picked my call after 10 missed calls.

I knew she wouldn't stop calling till the time I didn't answer her and the continous vibration kept me from focusing on the novel I was reading so I decided to answer the call anyway.

Me : Hey!

Rebekah : What's wrong with you? Can't you hear the phone ringing?

Me : Umm...sorry I was busy reading a novel so I was unable to notice it.

Rebekah : Whatever. I am coming to pick you up at 7. Be ready. Bye!

Before I could even answer her she hung up the call. I internally groaned as to why was I on her black list out of all the people in this college.

I cursed myself for not having my own car. I knew I soon had to start working so that I could get a second hand car which deprives me of the amazing opportunity to drive with Rebekah.

Oh my god. This was going to be tough.

I was about to resume reading my journal when there was a slight knock on the door. I walked lazily towards the door and on opening it a guy whom I recognised from one of my classes was standing with a bag in his hand.

He smiled at me and handed me the bag before running away. I shouted at him trying to figure out what the hell just happened but he quickly disappeared from the hall.

I was about to go out looking for him when I found a folded paper in the bag. I quickly took it out trying to find the sender of this bag.

It read:

Hey! It's me again. I just figured out that you might not be having a proper set of clothes to wear for a party as you have never been to one. Consider this as a thankyou gift for coming to the party. I hope you like it. See you soon!

I was smiling wide after reading the note. It was really sweet of her no matter how hard I wanted to think of this as some stupid game.

But I couldn't just accept it. I took my phone and called her.

She answered at the very first ring as if she was sure that I will call.

Rebekah : Hey!

Me : Thankyou so much for the sweet gesture but I can't really accept it.

Rebekah : Stop being a spoilsport Rex. I have chosen it for you and it will surely look great on you. So I am not accepting a no now.

Me : But Rebekah...

Rebekah : No if's and but's. If you want to do something for me in return than just say that you have forgiven me. It would mean everything to me right now.

Me : Apology is something you earn and I can see that you are trying. So yes I forgive you. Bye.

Rebekah : Thankyou so much. Bye!

It was around 6:00 when April peeped in my room. She asked me if Rey was there and when I denied she entered with a big duffle bag on her shoulder.

"Do you mind if I get ready in your room for the party as my roommate has called her friends in mine?",she asked while already removing her clothes and makeup from the bag. I laughed at the formality she just now did and said, "Yeah sure. It's yours."

I was about to exit the room when she stopped me, "Hey, you can stay here and continue with your work. And I almost forgot that even you need to get ready and oh my god what are you wearing? Do you have anything worth wearing to a frat party?" I placed my hands on her shoulders calming her while saying, "Hey hey hey. I can get ready in just 15 minutes and as far as my clothes are concerned I have everything planned out. So you just chill and focus on looking the prettiest today."

She took a deep breath before starting with her makeup. I was happy that she didn't ask me as to how did I manage with my outfit for tonight.

But it was as if she read my thoughts because the next question that she asked me was exactly the one that I didn't want her to ask. I was literally looking for something that could hide the fact that Rebekah gifted me the clothes that I was going to wear at the party.

I thought of lying to her but she was my bestfriend and she deserved to know everything. "Rebekah gifted me the clothes that I am wearing for the party."

As soon as I completed my sentence she dropped the pearl earrings that she was holding and her mouth was wide open. "Did I hear you right? Rebekah gifted you clothes? The Rebekah who threw alcohol on your face?"

I just nodded in response and she looked at me as if this was a miracle. "Do you know what this means? Rebekah is no ordinary girl Rex. She just doesn't gift anyone clothes for the party. Hell she doesn't even bothers giving gifts to the people of her own group not even on their birthdays. What is wrong with that girl? Maybe she... "

She was about to say something stupid when I literally ran to shut her mouth by covering it with my hand. "Just concentrate on getting ready or else you will be late and this will surely disappoint Rey."

She smiled at me before continuing with her makeover.

I looked over from my book when I heard heels clanking over the floor. She was wearing a navy blue one piece that was complimenting her perfect caramel hair.

She smiled at me like an idiot raising her brows to obviously earn a compliment. "You look gorgeous as always. Rey will definitely go crazy behind this beauty you hold."

She hugged me tightly before she received a call from someone whom I assumed was Rey as she looked in a hurry. "He's here. I will meet you at the party", she said to me while looking at herself for one last time in the mirror.

It was already 6:45 by the time she left. So even I took the paper bag resting on the table to finally have a look at what Rebekah chose for me.

I was surprised to discover the contents of the bag. I had never worn such clothes before.

The bag contained a torn black jeans along with a crimson hoodie paired with a black jacket. I changed my clothes and nervously went in front of the mirror to see what I looked like.

I had never seen myself in anything other than buttoned up shirts and cardigans and these clothes made me look completely different. My rimmed glasses complimented the look more.

I loved myself in the way Rebekah had chosen for me. I somewhere hoped that she liked it too.

It was exact 7:00 when I received a call from her.

Rebekah : Honey, are you ready? I am already down your dorm building.

Me : I will be there in just a minute.

I quickly put on my white shoes and after combing my hair for one last time I left my room.
