My Mom's Best Friend's Son

The party

"in life never undermine any one under any circumstance,thinks change and you will never know when they change."

It is the tenth time I have been making up and then cleaning my face .I see as if all is a mess The fact is am not used of these kind of things. I feel like am not doing anything right. I have not attended any party my whole life outside our house apart from my sister's wedding party which was almost here.

We shall be out in less than an hour from now but trust me I have not done anything right yet. Am just a complete mess.what the hell should I do,maybe I should just stay and don't go to the damn party,seriously how could I go to the party looking like this.

"Jackie"

Am stardled by the calling by my mother .what the hell should I even do now .As I panic kingly stand up to again select a dress from the heap of clothes on my bed that I have been looking in the last couple of hours ...probably three full hours.

She comes in just as am selecting adress,she comes in carrying a dress and gives it to me.what the hell...miracles are happening today,at first it was inviting me to go along with her to the party and then getting me such a nice dress ..not that she doesn't buy me things but not a luxurious party dress.

I take it with a lot of anxiety.

"Thanks so much mom" I say all smiles.

"Be quick ,we shall be leaving in a few" the party is about to begin.

"What is the party about?"

I ask since I even don't know what the party is about.

"Oh...so you didn't know?"

It is Tony's birthday. My heart skips by just hearing his name. I had taken some monthly without hearing about him .Tony is a guy that I don't want to put my too much concentration on. Every one will be wondering who the hell Tony is.

Tony is a guy that I have crushed on my whole life but I can never see my self telling him anything. He is a son to Natasha who happens to be my mother's best friend .In the old days ,we used to spend much time together as the two families. We were actually once friends when still kids .However as time went on ,we grew to love different things or rather he found me boring and we went different ways.

He went a different high school and he being handsome got many girls to line up at him.

Stop being a desperate young girl.My subconscious snaps at me .I wonder why I always under mind my self. but that has been me for Avery longtime...I wonder when I will be able to gain my confidence

"Oooh dear friend, mercy"

Natasha shouts as soon as she sees us coming in.she comes and gives my mother a very tight hug as if she has taken some considerable time without saying her yet they were just together yesterday.

" Jackie....it is a pleasure seeing you here" I smile when she calls me .The woman is always happy whenever you meet her.

Natasha says as she moves to give me a tight hug to the point that I feel like I cannot breathe anymore... Oh God this woman can be so dramatic.

After sometime ,she finally let me free and compose myself .I realise the many people around Most of them are classic of course .The place is all well decorated.. Most of the things are decorated blue. Of course that being Tony's favorite color. I swear this deserves to be more the a boy's birthday.

Seriously Natasha and her husband have a lot of money.They inherited most of the riches from their respective families and this explains why they are extremely rich.Mum and Natasha excuse themselves  and with in a few seconds they have already disappeared and I suppose they are enjoying with their friends because I don't know many of them.

I even don't know what to do,surely am not used of such big gatherings .I don't know whether to stand her or rather go and follow mom like a little puppy..that could be ridiculous ,my subconscious whispers to me.

I compose my self and ask for a drink from one of the waitress and she offers it to me easily. I get the glass of red wine which of course I don't take and move around awkwardly talking about random things with some neighbours that I know.

However I can feel some eyes burning into me though even when I look around, I don't see anymore.Don't tell me I have started seeing things.That is not me .I didn't even drink any alcoholic drink at all.But my heart yells me their is some one who is looking at me keenly but I can not figure out who the person is.
