Squinting open my tightly shut eyes, I saw my friends all standing in their glory around me, defending me as if I was a damsel. I let a light laugh suppress my lips as I saw the guys struggling to ‘escort’ Khuslen away. I felt a hand on my shoulder. “You okay?” Adi asked me with concern, I nodded swiftly, trying not to raise anymore trouble than I had already caused for the night.

The rest of the night was calm, I mean, there were a couple drinks shared here and there but nothing too major. We sang, laughed, and danced....but not too extreme, I didn’t want to get kicked out just because of my silly friends.
I had a smile pasted on my lips almost the whole night, then that happened... Mrs.Sunnidey headed to our stage and announced that kids were able to come up and perform, allowing her to choose the ‘Night’s Queen and King’ my heart crashed almost as fast as the corners of my lips dropped into a frown. My face flushed red, leaving my mind in a cluster of everything.
I raised my eyes to see that Prisha wasn’t doing any better–in fact, I think she was actually panicking more than I was– I know we didn’t HAVE to perform, but the guys were jerks and kept shouting and pointing to us like there was literally no tomorrow. I shouted at them to piss off but they didn’t care. Matters were made worse when she looked at us with hope in her eyes through the crowds of unbothered students.
“Clarissa DS?” My name rang through my ears like a bullet. I wanted to just fall back and hide in a hole. “Prisha Naidu” I almost choked out a sarcastic laugh but I held back. She beckoned is over and assured us to leave our shy shells and take a deep breath. I looked at her as she trembled in fear. My face washed over with pity as I tugged on her blouse. “Pwisha!” I squeaked out, her eyes quivered towards me.
“Guitar??” I asked her, watching her calm down in an instant. I smiled warmly at her and turned to our Co-ordinator. “Miss? Do you have a guitar?” I think we have a song” She nodded swiftly and turned on her heel to grab the instrument. She soon returned with a beautiful and glossy guitar. It was blood-shot red with a white line through the middle. She handed it to Prisha as I googled the lyrics for our song. Sharp and quick tunes erupted from her guitar as she adjusted it.

We were both ready to perform. I held the lyrics in my left hand and a mic in my right. Slowly Prisha began and I followed suit:
((Bold is Clar, Italics is Prisha))

We finished the song with our faces scarlet as if we had just finished a marathon of some sort. We headed off the stage with our steaming faces glowing like lightbulbs through the crowds of whistles and claps. I hid my face from the others and sat with Prisha.
“Prisha can we go home?” I nudged her, she nodded and we headed back to our dorm with sleepy eyes. I smiled lazily at her as she did too, “We did good” she admitted, I nodded, “I wanna sleep” I yawned, “Yeah, and I want cookies” she pouted. I laughed at her childishness as I dialled in to our group for them to get some cookies on their way back.
I carried myself upstairs where I plugged in my earphones, poking them in my ears and playing some music that I soon drifted off to.
Tonight was fun...
