Episode 1
Noah | FL Best Friend
Come on, Hazel, please just this once, you never go clubbing with me, and it gets ******* boring!!
Noah whined like a kid trying to get me to go to this new club that just opened last week.
Now, I'm not a 'partying and Clubbing' kind of person, but my best friend here, Noah, my god, there isn't one club in this city she hasn't been to. Unlike me, she loves to go out and party like the social butterfly she is.
Hazel Roberts | FL
Language, Noah, and you know it's not my cup of tea, don't make me go!
I pout at her, hoping she'll leave me alone. But to my despair, she pulls my book off my lap and shuts it, putting it away on my table.
Noah | FL Best Friend
Enough with these books, Hazel. I'm not taking no for an answer tonight. You know it's Jay's best friend's birthday, and I want you to meet Jay.
She says, looking at me with a look of pity in her eyes. Great, she's playing cupid now. Jay is her cousin, he's 23, and is a doctor. Noah has been trying to hook me up with him for the past 2 months, but I've been dodging it pretty well. I'm not too sure about tonight.
Before I could complete my sentence, she drags me off the bed.
Noah | FL Best Friend
Nah-uh, honey bee, you are going with me tonight, and that's an order.
She stands tall, acting all tough, as I chuckle at her stubbornness. Guess one time won't hurt, right?
I sigh and shake my head in defeat.
Hazel Roberts | FL
Fine, I'll go, but we're coming back before 12.
I state, leaving no room for argument, to which she claps her hands happily.
Noah | FL Best Friend
Great, that's no issue, enough time for you and Jay to get to know each other a bit.
She said excitedly, making me sigh.
Hazel Roberts | FL
Noah, I don't need you to play cupid for me.
I speak, looking at her a bit upset because I honestly don't want her to think that I so badly need a man in my life. I don't, not after him.
She soothingly rubs my arm.
Noah | FL Best Friend
I'm not playing cupid, honey bee. I just want you to let someone in. You push away every guy who shows interest in you.
She says sadly. I know she worries about me a lot, but trusting a man doesn't come easy for me, not after everything he put me through.
The only person I trust is Noah. I've known her since we were in middle school, and we stuck together ever since, just the two of us.
Hazel Roberts | FL
Fine, we'll go and meet that cousin of yours, but just for tonight.
I state as she rolls her eyes at me and chuckles.
Noah | FL Best Friend
I'm happy with that, and also, I will pick your dress.
She says as she walks out of my room. Wait, what?
Hazel Roberts | FL
No way, I'm letting you pick my dress!!
Noah | FL Best Friend
I didn't hear you!!
She shouts back, and I sigh, sitting back on my bed. Just tonight, Hazel, you deserve to have fun.
Running my fingers through my hair, I let my mind wander off, reminding me of how my life has changed, from worse to somewhat normal. And it wouldn't have been possible if it wasn't for Noah.
She let me stay with her in the apartment her parents bought her for college. Since I couldn't afford the college fee yet, I just work at a café not far from here.
I've been an orphan since I was 6. I grew up there, my parents abandoned me, leaving me to face this cruel world all on my own. I worked hard, studied day and night, got good grades, and got into a good school through a scholarship.
My train of thought came to a halt as Noah walks in holding a bunch of dresses in her arms.
Hazel Roberts | FL
Do I really need to doll up?
I ask with a bit of hope, but she crushed it as she threw me one of her famous 'shut up' glares.
Noah walks to my bed as she throws the dresses on top of it and begins digging through them, inspecting every dress and cringing if she doesn't like the thought of the dress on me.
Hazel Roberts | FL
Noah, why can't I wear the dresses that I own?
Noah | FL Best Friend
Yeah, like I'm letting you wear those grandma clothes to that club.
She says in a duh tone as I roll my eyes at her. She doesn't like my choice of dresses.
Hazel Roberts | FL
They are comfortable!
I argue with a pout, but she ignores me completely.
Noah | FL Best Friend
Get your lazy *** up, honey bee. We'll get late.
Noah suddenly says, pulling me off the bed.
Hazel Roberts | FL
But it's only 4 pm. I thought we were leaving at 8?
Noah | FL Best Friend
We are, and that's why we better start getting ready now, or we'll be late.
She says and shoves a couple of dresses in my hands, pushing me towards the bathroom, making me chuckle.
This isn't so bad, getting ready with my best friend, enjoying her company. I love her so much; she's my only family.
As Noah gets done doing my makeup and hers, I'm stunned. She made me look so pretty, and she didn't put too much makeup for me to look completely different but good enough for a club night.
Noah | FL Best Friend
We look fabulous.
Noah comments, and I nod in agreement.
Noah | FL Best Friend
Come on, let's get dressed now. Show me the dresses I gave you.
I sigh in defeat as I walk into the bathroom and change into the 'dress' she gave me.
I look at myself in the mirror and gasp. My god, this is the most revealing dress I've ever put on. Even though it's pretty, it's not suitable for a place full of horny men and teenagers. I take a deep breath and walk out of the bathroom.
As I walk back into my room, Noah is already dressed up, and when she noticed me, she winks at me, making my cheeks go red.
Hazel Roberts | FL
This is too revealing, Noah.
I pout at her as she shakes her head and hands me another dress.
Noah | FL Best Friend
Try this on.
She said as she shooed me into the bathroom.
I change and look at myself in the mirror. Wow, this does look good.
I like this one a lot better. I normally don't wear tight dresses because they make me conscious of my body, but this one is so pretty. I walk out into my room as Noah looks at me with her mouth wide a gape.
Hazel Roberts | FL
Uh, are you okay?
I ask, getting self-conscious.
Noah | FL Best Friend
Damn, girl, you have the body of a goddess. Why do you have to hide it in those grandma clothes?
Noah says as I roll my eyes at her and walk over to grab my bag.
Noah | FL Best Friend
Let's get going!!
Noah squeals as we both wear our heels and leave the apartment to get into Noah's car.
Tonight's gonna be different, and I have a feeling it's gonna be a good different. Only if I knew how wrong I was.
