"Aki, put that down" I warn the women wobbling in my room, in my house, almost braking my favourite vase located at the corner of the room, beside the dressing table, trying to focus on the bright screen of my laptop.

"Don't scream at me, young lady" she start, coming towards where am seated, in the center of my bed, - sprawled, actually. Not seated - "and you're making me late, when did I tell you to get ready and wait for me,huh?!"

"Told you I won't go.." I defend, shrugging, eyes on the screen while tapping the smooth keyboard, "you're wasting your time here, I bet you've got no date"

"Oh-huh, who do you think I am, gopher.." Annoying old looking young lady, "I do have a date" she gave me a sweet smile, rushing beside me and talking dreamily "you should totally see him, he's handsome, polite, -"

I blanked her out after that, typical highschool girl she was. Sure, Aki was invariant, she always date boys, handsome and rich boys too, but that happened after what I did to her. After what Julian did to her.

The guilty feeling spiked through my body, folding my heart to a cold patter. My hands suddenly stopped tapping, and I stare at the way she talks, tears brim around the back of my eyes, tears I wasn't able to shed.

"Hey," she looks at me, noticing the way I stare at her and how my face changed withing a plenty of seconds, "did your gloves already get tired of you?"

I shook my head at her, hiding my laughter with a smile that reaches my ear as I start continuing my job, watching the screen a little to intently to ignore the eyes burning holes in my head.

"You could talk you know," Aki gazes at me, "you've been bottling your emotions ever since you met us, and I bet you did before that too. I am your friend remember, you partner in crime, even though you had never dared a crime, let me rehearse that. My partner in crime.." Her voice slows, a hint of sadness in her voice. I turn to her, shaking my head, knowing what she is talking about "...and you hiding those thought inside that multitasking head of yours isn't making us any better, I was thinking about divorce by the way"

I couldn't hide the laughter that escaped it's way through my throught, and she smile.

"What I am trying to say is," she gave me a hand squeezing mine "you can trust me, I promise I won't let you down"

"I was just thinking how I betrayed you past time," I say hanging my head low, thinking about what she said.

It wasn't that I didn't trust her, but I was just never into talking my feeling to anyone, a few years back, though I did start talking a little bit of my loneliness to Ashton, but that was before abd now my guards were high. They kept rebuilding themselves every now and then.

"I know right" Aki's broken voice rang through the silent room of mine, "but that was the past, a history. Alas, I thought I punished you for that, am'a do it again if you continue remembering and giving me that not so wonderful look you're giving me"

I smile at her scowling face, and look as her face changes to a cheerful look right away, masking the look of pain and brokenhearted. The iffy ache of my heart starts itching more.

"Now why don't you get up abd show me your sexy dress, so that we can reach to the party on time" she wiggle her eyebrows at me.

"Don't bother and try dragging me out of here," I start, again groaning about her stupid party inwardly.

Today was highschool's reunion, every senior students of past five year would come to meet their good old friends. That was the cromulent intention, while the real goal of this reunion was to showoff.

Yeah! Showoff, you go and boost over what you own, what type of boyfriend you have, that you're richer than your friends who used to bully you or mock you and even your friends, to make then jealous, you know, things like that.

"I am not willingly driving myself to a hellhole" I continue, finishing my sentence I left hanging.

"Don't hee-haw on me you piece of c*"t," she start rummaging through my walking_closet,"you should chill already, live young and wild."

"I am too old for that" I roll my eyes, walking behind her.

I don't trust this satyr of mine.

Who knows, she might like a watch from those inside the glass drawer, and take it. We all know she got the stealing tact from her mom, besides Aki hates splurging.

"Are you calling me old over there," she turn to me with a frown, quirk her dark eyebrows at me, "you better not! Believe me, I could fetch your tongue for just saying that.." She point a glowering look at me before turning back, "besides, we both are still 23 hun, people in our age are still teenagers, we gotta live life before dying"

"I do not want to rip my reputation by going out with those people, you concluded"

"I'll pass that, and resume as if I didn't hear you,"

"No really, stop wasting your time." Dramatic pause, "I by no means am going there, and I think I already have a pure name running past there, don't you think?"

"And honey, that's why you need to go there" she grin at me pulling a under knee, feathered red dress of mine. "You need to revive your name out there, show them what you made yourself into, show them My bitch is back"

"Aki, I no longer am your bitch" I roll my eyes for the umpteenth time,

"Just to make your boat sail" she included, fetching white heals from the other side, where shoes were located. "Now, do you want me to dress you like I always did, or are you going to be a good girl you are abd wear this things yourself"

"I'll allow you to drag me there if you insist" I shrug "but I am in no way helping you drag me"

"It's OK" she smirk, "I could just send the picture you took back in the bitch to your one and only"

"No you won't" I narrow my eyes, clearly remembering I was in just a bikinis.

"Think twice luv, think twice"
