Since my mom carry me out in this world, I always knew that I was born especial. Not the smart, brainy nerd girl, but the one who is fund in music and arts. I always have this guts in me to follow the journey and sing in a lot of crowd that screams in their lungs and cry to my music. But life seems miserable and horrible. It trick me believing if I do good deeds, be kind to others, help every old woman in the street, I will be worth it and everything should turns out so well. That I shouldn't be worry about the people that makes me who I am right now. But everything turns upside down when the people that cherished you up, always on your side when everytime you look at change. People change. My dream became my what ifs, My maybe, and my wishes. 

Looking at the family portray on the bedside, I feel sick and nauseous seeing my family smiling, especially those two liars on my side holding both of my shoulders. My green eyes is looking healthy and my body is still fat. 

Fat K. I snort thinking the scenarios and the voices that I still hear on that photo. 10 years of lying. Tsk! What a brave soul and how stupid I am.

I turn my gaze back on the mirror, I now see a grown up woman with a perfect body. And especially, I am not dumb anymore. What a glow up I got. 

I touch my lip and spread the lipstick on the side. My face is in full make up right now. I only used light makeup even its night cause my face still attract even though without make up. I don't know, Loraine's make up artist suggested it. Loraine is my bestfriend since high school and we usually hang out always, especially at night like this day.

As of today, we got invited to Harith's party at Mula bar. So exciting to see my other friends out there. It's been a while, since I need to rest from playing around. I forgot, we have to finish what we started.

I gaze on my self again, I wore a black skirt, cute white top and black boots. This three is a gift from Brian, my cousin from lorthington University. Son of uncle Antonio, brother of my Dad. We often see each other because he has been finishing his law degree and also with a hectic schedule. So he just gifted me branded clothes for apology. Brian always knew my style. That's why he is my favorite cousin, and because he is only my cousin. He's just spoiling me around but I misses that jerk so much. He's like a brother to me. He's more like my guardian angel. Brian is always there with my ups and downs, that's why he got my back also. 

My phone beep. A message pops in. It's Loraine saying " get out hoe". Hilarious. She also added the middle finger. I thought she forgot. Another message again and its Xaviers meme photo with a quote. " Don't tell him". 

I pick my jacket and ran downstairs still laughing. I remember that day when Xavier is drunk and he slept alone in the seaside, looking like a dead body. Many police went on that scene and really thought he is dead. It circulates on the campus for more than a month before it replace with new embarrassing photo. One thing I knew, he hated that photo. 

 Before Xavier pushes the door bell, I opened it first making him jump and put her hand on her chest. He Looks at me like I've done something. 

"You scared me", he hit me with his finger then Looks at me up and down. 

"Mama mia" she pauses. "you look like a stripper", he laugh loudly and points at my face. I almost bite her finger but he immediately brings it back. 

"Sorry. It's just... Okay, let's go", he rake my head with his arm. Xavier is like inches tall on me. We have very large height gap that's why he can bully me anytime. She knew, I always being called a stripper.

"Let's go!" I hold her arm and jumps all the way to Loraine's Rolls-Royce. We will be late if I argue to Xavier. He is the most competitive person I knew and he doesn't accept defeat, especially in an argument. That's why we are always fighting everywhere and anytime. Let's just wait when we reach the party. I will challenge him for a beer pong. 

"Hi Kiev!" Loraine greeted. "Looking fabulous always, sure you'll pick lots of goodies today", she wink and teasing me. 

Sure I am. "Let us see, I still have numbers to count". 

"Let us see. We still have numbers to count" 

We all laugh and I hop on the car. We knew ourselves very well. We didn't just come to the party to have fun, we came for something else. 

My eyes immediately felt asleep as soon the strawberry scent filled my nostrils. Loraine's car smells like fruit and heaven at the same time. 

Loraine puts on some music. 5 sos. Our favorite. We vibin' and sings are lungs infront but Xavier didn't help but to distract us. He is in the backseat and already starts drinking. He stretches her jacket all the way to my face. 

"Check this out", he flip the end of it. 

Gucci. 

"Expensive", I say. Praising the quality of her jacket. All of his things are expensive, we don't need to act shock for it. He is the Son of Chairman Kyu, owner of the most rated 5 star hotel in the city. We wouldn't even flinch if he'll tell us he own 21 cars. 

"Yup. I got this from my aunt, very rare and expensive", he explained. 

I look at Loraine who is now mimicking him. I laugh a bit cause she even mimick the way her brows move. Xavier look at me and look at Loraine. He probably notice cause he pulls Loraine's end hair to stop her. Loraine fight back by biting her hand. They just end up arguing to each other who has the most natural brows. 

My phone beep again. Two of them didn't mind. I didn't bother to open either cause maybe it's just from my Dad. Every now and then, he always call and text like there's no tomorrow. He always ask me to come over and have dinner to his new house with her fiancé. As if I come. I hate that girl, literally I hate all of them. 

My phone beep again. I move my head from relaxing and read the sender. 

Drew. 

My hand froze a bit and chills echoes to my skin. Damn it. Where did she knew my number. I already change my phone number for the 10th time already and still he can find me. Can't he understand that we are over. It was just part of the counting. I didn't know he'll take it seriously. 

"Who is that?" Loraine ask. 

They are already done and looking at me seriously, waiting for my response. 

I sigh before replying. "Drew". 

"What?" Xavier exclaimed but immediately put his hand on his mouth from saying more. 

"O my god! Did he threatened you again?", I can see the concern on Loraine's voice. She pick my hand and pinch it slowly. 

"I don't know. I didn't read it". 

"Good. Don't bother to look on it. He's just a jerk and psychopath. Why did you pick him at first by the way?" Xavier curiously asked. He wasn't there when we starts our counting, and Drew was the only man I thought decent but turns out to be the psychopath. 

" I don't know... I thought he is a good guy". I replied and relax my head on the chair. 

Loraine focuses her gaze on the road because there is a racing track today and we didn't know if which side of the road they will turn. 

"Good guy? He is clearly obsess with you. Remember that guy who tried to flirt with you? He broke that guy's neck for sure", 

Xaviers right. Drew is clearly obsessed with me and I don't know why. This is all my fault. I didn't tell him earlier that he is part of the counting. 

"Just ignore him and everything's will be fine tonight. He will not gonna find you here, it's a very secret place and it is just exclusive for VIP". Loraine suggested. Her gaze is still on the road. 

"Right. Ignore him".
