Chapter One

"Hazel, are you coming out or not?" A girl with a short brown straight hair said as she stood opposite the door.

"Charlotte,life is all about taking time to look good in front of your enemies." Hazel replied in the room as she applied her lipstick, looking at the mirror.

"Look good in front of your enemies or Derek?" Charlotte said with a smirk as she moved closer to the door, putting her ear on it, hoping she could hear a smile or a blush.

The door opened suddenly, showing Hazel who was dressed with a white dress added with a off shoulder hand, with her brown bag matching her brown eyes and a full small pink lips and her long striaght hair.

"I don't have any crush." Hazel said making Charlotte fall to the ground.

Hazel gasped, bending down to pick Charlotte up.

"Are you okay? What are you doing so close to the door?" Hazel said as Charlotte stood up, dusting her body.

Charlotte scoffed, "No crush, huh?"

"Yeah, it's a get together party, I won't look at Derek." Hazel said not looking at Charlotte.

"Why don't you look at me in eyes? Let me know what you are saying is true."

"Look, I can't promise you. I haven't seen Derek since college, it's been a year, how do you expect me not to look at me?" Hazel said as she wore her coat.

"It's been over a year,I really want to see Derek." Charlotte micked her.

"You need to stop acting like a child." Hazel said, as they both walked to the door.

"Instead on having a faithful crush on a guy, why don't you just ask him out?" Charlotte said, as they both came out of the house.

"Good already made idea," Hazel said with a smile, as they both entered Charlotte's car.

"What do you mean," Charlotte continued as she started the engine, "Already made idea." Charlotte added as she began to drive.

"Well, I was planning on asking Derek out tonight." Hazel said as Charlotte stopped the car.

Charlotte looked at Hazel, "What? You want to ask Derek out?"

"Yes, you always advise me to do it, so I've made up my mind to tell him, any problem?"

"Umm," Charlotte looked at the steering wheel as she started the engine again, "I was just thinking, maybe you shouldn't do it today."

"Charlotte, Derek is a CEO of his father's company, he's always busy, I've never seen him in a long time except on TV and now it's my time, I don't want to miss the opportunity." Hazel said, taking her phone as she turned it on.

"You even used him as your wallpaper." Charlotte said, looking at Hazel's phone as she continued to drive.

"You need to look at where you are driving, do you want us to die?" Hazel said, putting her phone, back into her bag.

Charlotte smiled as she looked at the road, "You are a nurse."

"Of a local hospital." Hazel said in a soft voice.

"At least, it's popular in that particular area." Charlotte said with a smirk, "And at least, you are a trained nurse."

"So what are you trying to say now? That you want us to have an accident."

"Since you are a nurse, we are safe." Charlotte said happily as she speed the car.

"Charlotte." Hazel shouted.

"Are you hungry, Penelope?" Michael said as he rubbed his hand on a slender arm.

"No." Penelope said as her stomach grumbled, making Micheal laugh.

Penelope sat upright on the couch, looking at Michael, "It's not funny."

"I'm sorry, babe." Michael said as he tried to move closer to Penelope but she stood up. "What's wrong? Since, you came, you have been moody."

"I'm not moody." Penelope said as she folded her hands under her ******.

"Really, you are not even enjoying your favorite show." Michael said as he stood up.

"I'm just on my period, that's all." Penelope said with a forced smile.

Michael smirked, "Your period? You think, I don't know when you are on your period, you are always shouting and restless, if you are on your period."

"I think, it's a different mood." Penelope said.

"Penelope, we have been dating for two years and you expect me not to know you too well." Michael said.

"Babe," Penelope said, moving closer to Michael as she hugged him, "I'm sorry."

Michael hugged her back, "You know, you can tell me anything."

"I am just having a hard time at work." Penelope muttered slowly.

"Is it Emily?" Michael said.

"Hmm." Penelope pouted her lips like a baby.

"You look like a baby now, don't you?" Michael said, holding Penelope's chin with his finger.

"Really." Penelope laughed.

"How about I make you forget about work tonight and we should have a good time? " Michael said as he kissed Penelope's neck slowly.

"Hmm." Penelope moaned, "But wait, Mom would be expecting me by nine, I have to go."

"Come on, we have thirty minutes to have fun." Michael said as he continued.

"Wait, I'm hungry, remember?" Penelope said, putting on a sad face,"I promise to have fun, with you, later."

"And here we are." Charlotte said as packed her car in front of a restaurant.

"Mingles." Hazel said reading the sign post before she gasped, "Mingles," She said looking at Charlotte.

"What?" Charlotte said, looking at her with a shocked face too, "What is it?"

"Mingles, it's a top class restaurant." Hazel said.

"So, I'm a top class." Charlotte said with a smile as she got down of the car.

.....

Charlotte and Hazel entered the restaurant, they could see their friends sitting round a big table.

"I didn't know, we were this much in school." Hazel said as they both just stood, looking at everyone's movement.

"You were a nerd, what do you expect?" Charlotte said with a scoff.

A guy from the center table, started to wave them.

"Who's he?" Hazel said.

"He's Richard one of our course mates, he's married with two kids but his wife died two months ago." Charlotte said as she waved him back.

"Poor soul." Hazel said as Richard continued to wave.

"By the way, why can't he stop waving us?" Charlotte said.

"Derek." Richard said.

"Derek, please don't tell me Derek is at our back." Hazel said, closing her eyes tightly.
