Salman's POV

Olivia's house is of three stories and quite big. The ground floor and the second floor is given on rent while Olivia's tiny family lived in the first floor. Her house has two halls, a kitchen and a pantry.

She had a room on her own and her parents had another. Three other rooms are left unused, probably one is the store room and I have no idea what the other rooms contain. The haunted rooms were locked and we couldn't peep in.

Olivia's room is like a typical teenagers room with all the necessary stuffs like the bed, study table, closet and so on. She had many wall hangers and pictures of people she like, pasted on the wall. It was decorated with girly stuffs such as flowers and butterflies too.

The group pictures what we had taken at school functions and other places were also attached to the wall.

"These brings back a lot of memories" said Aliza after observing the pictures.

"I know right."

"It's a pleasure looking at these."

"When was this captured?" I asked looking at a picture in which I wasn't there.

"Few days before you joined school."

There was another picture which was taken when they were kids. Not everyone was there in it. It was a picture of Olivia, Juliet, Aliza, Omar and Kaym. All of them looked cute and tiny, quite funny as well. My eyes were fixed on the cute little Juliet in the picture. She looked innocent as always.

"You guys look different in this" Anna said pointing to that picture.

"Where was Anna then?" I asked.

"It was before she joined school."

"Even I wasn't in school at that time... We joined school afterwards" Fred added.

"Then what about Harry and Edgar?" I asked again.

"I didn't even know these people. I only have seen them in school but I've never spoken to them". Edgar replied.

"We didn't have this friendship group before. We hardly spoke to each other". Omar explained.

"We became thick friends when we were in grade seven while the guys were in grade eight" Aliza added.

We settled on Olivia's bed and were talking about the old days stories and so on. After sometime we were called to serve lunch. We had a tummy filling lunch which Olivia's mom had cooked for us and came back to Olivia's room thinking on how to spend the rest of the day.

"Guys! Shall we have some blind makeovers?" Asked Anna looking at the basket filled with cosmetics in the room.

"Ugh! Make up?"

"Typical Girls" grumbled a few of us rolling our eyes.

"Huh? Why Not? It would be fun when you guys apply some make up on us" giggled Aliza.

"Well, I don't think it's a bad idea" I agreed imagining myself applying makeup on Juliet.

"Olii, Do you mind us wasting your cosmetics?" Asked Juliet softly.

"No worries, I have enough of them" She smiled.

"Alright, how are we going to play by the way? I have no idea how it works out" asked Omar.

Aliza explained and we were put in partners; a girl and a guy were in pairs but one pair remained as a guy and a guy because we aren't having enough of girls in our squad.

That unfortunate pair was Fred and Edgar. They had an argument on who's going to have the make up on and it was settled only after we drew lots.

Edgar had to have it on. He already looks funny with his lame jokes and now he would look funnier.

"I am excited to see Edgar with make up on" I teased him, gaining a pat on my back.

"Kay, let's get started. Who's gonna do it first?" Asked Aliza

There was an argument on that as well and we ended up drawing lots.

Poor Aliza had to start the game with Omar. Omar was blindfolded. He held up Aliza's chin and started applying that peach like coloured powder... I don't know what they call it... because I have no teenage sisters who use cosmetics. My one and only sister is too small for all those.

Then he went with a cream and then he applied the lipstick after hunting for her lips.

The lipstick was not only on her cute little lips, but it was all over. Looked like he has placed red whiskers on her face. She looked cute though.

Omar was about to apply that black coloured pencil on her lips probably thinking that it was another type of lipstick.

"Omaarrrr.... That should be applied on her eyes!" Screamed an excited Juliet.

He started searching for her eyes and applied it around her eyes after finding it. She kept her eyes closed until he was done.

Now she definitely looks like a ghost.

We couldn't stop laughing from the time he started the makeup. Aliza was surprised to see a completely changed Aliza in the mirror. Omar removed the cloth from his eyes to see the amazing job of his.

There were a lot more cosmetics but we used only the main ones.

"Can I wash my face now?" Pleaded Aliza. 

"Nooo!! Not until everyone finishes the makeup..." Anna paused

And Olivia finished off "Cuz, we need to take a groupfie".

Then it was Anna's turn and Harry did the makeup for her. Next Kaym applied on Olivia.

Afterwards Fred did a great job on Edgar and he looked hilarious. Edgar tried his best to wash it away after it was done, but we held him back. After a few attempts he gave in, but was covering his face by his hands almost the whole time.

Fortunately, or let me say 'unfortunately', as we drew lots, I was the last in the game. I wished I was the first. I had a lot of patience till it was my turn.

I had mixed feelings. I was nervous, excited and... Etc.

I sat on the chair and my partner sat right in front of me. Our knees were brushing against each other. The cosmetics were placed beside us on a table.

I felt a pair of hands tying the cloth over my eyes and I didn't realize who did it.

Calm down, Salman. Calm down!

I am glad that my partner is Juliet. I guess that's the thing that's making me nervous. Especially when I have to have physical contacts with her, it makes me... unconscious, I could say.

Love,
Emraiys.
