Niara's POV
I sighed dramatically, plopping onto my bed.
"It couldn't have been that bad" I heard Vivian say across the room.
"Yeah, you haven't even told us what happened" Jackie chipped in as she stuffed her face with cheese puffs.
"Nothing happened. I barely even talked to Alaster.. But he did call me cute" I mumbled the ending into my pillow.
"I knew it! he is into you. See, I am never wrong" Vivian widely, emphasizing the word never.
"You guys don't understand! He just said it in a friendly way" I whined into the pillow.
Jackie rolled her eyes at my statement. I just can't picture someone liking me, I've never dated anyone in my whole life. My face isn't even that special and I have fat thighs.
Maybe I should go on a diet? or I can ask Vivian for tips because she's skinny. But I'm not sure if her being that skinny is natural or not.
"I'm hungry" I heard jackie groan. "Do you guys wanna get tacos or something?"
"I'm down" Vivian said happil.
I sat up on my bed and pouted "I'm not eating!"
Vivian and Jackie looked at each other before looking back at me.
"Why not? You normally eat a lot" Jackie asked curiously.
"That's why, I'm fat" I huffed.
Vivian stifled a laugh.
"It's not funny" I groaned.
"Niara you are far from fat" Jackie said and Vivian nodded her head in agreement.
I scrunched my face up before grabbing one of my thighs "Do you see all this?" I questioned.
Vivian dramatically sighed "Are you kidding me? People love thick thighs."
My face fell a bit. Was that true? what a weird thing to like..
"Okay fine, I'll take a taco" I grumbled as I crossed my arms.
---
twenty minutes later and we ended up at a park.
Vivian suggested we go to the taco truck that was parked in the far left of the park. I decided on a birria taco while the girls made their own choices.
I've never had food from a truck before but it taste quite good.
"Come on,let's go sit on the bench over there" Vivian smiled brightly as she stuffed her face with a big bite of her tacco.
We all take a seat on the bench, It's really nice out today, a little windy but still quite sunny.
"Oh my god Jackie! I forgot to tell you, did you hear about Daniel and Riley?" Vivian asked Jackie.

Jackie wiped some sour cream off the side of her mouth before shaking her head no.
"Daniel was caught kissing another girl at a party!"
Jackie gasped "Really? they've been together since like freshman year. Never would have thought they would have drama."
"Mhm, I don't know if they're still together but apparently Riley cheated back on him."
I felt my eyebrows scrunch together as I listened to their conversation. If someone cheated on me I would just break up with them. What's the point of cheating back?
Jackie sighed "They where such a power couple too."
"Well now we can be the school power couple" Vivian joked.
Jackie let out a short laugh "A lesbian couple? I doubt anyone at our school would let us be the known couple."
I didn't interrupt I just listened quietly. I remember the first time Jackie came out she had a lot of backlash from the people at school but it all quickly died down when a fight Jackie got in was spread around. I don't blame them though, I wouldn't want to fight Jackie either. Especially after seeing the video of the fight.
Now we just assume people stopped caring or are just homophobic in private. But Jackie never cared if people liked her or not.
She's actually quite popular now, the fight was in her second year so it was quite a while ago.
"Are we going to Tyler's party?" Vivian asked Jackie.
"I'd hope so, I want a reason to drink" Jackie said with a small laugh.
I scrunched my nose up, I never liked alcohol. Besides the alcohol that Alaster gave me that one time, it tasted more like juice though.
"Niara you should come!" Vivian chimed in.
I nodded slowly "I don't think it would be my thing.. plus I might be busy."
"Please, it'll be a good chance for you to meet people your age. You could even get some action. What kind of men do you like? Football players? nerds? druggies? we have lots of those at our sch-"
"Please stop, I'll go" I interrupted her small rant.
"Yes!" Vivian cheers
I rolled my eyes and stuffed another bite of taco into my mouth.
"You can invite Alaster too" Jackie suggests.
I looked down at my shoes. It doesn't seem like they'll let the Alaster thing go anytime soon. But he is very.. Very good looking. I wouldn't mind dating him, I'm just nervous because I've never had a relationship.
"Okay.. I'll text him about it later" I smile softly.
"But just to be clear, I'm gonna wear what I want" I say harshly, emphasizing the I.
Vivian sighed "Fine, but it better not be anything fancy because this isn't a party like the ones your family has."
I nodded, not knowing exactly what she meant. How different could it be anyways?
"Yeah, wear something you can move around in comfortably. There will be a lot if dancing" Jackie added.
I nodded.
We all finished up our tacos quickly. After walking around the park a bit we eventually went home.
The party is supposed to be next friday at eight. Kind of late in the day for me but I guess I can't conplain.
Plus I get to stay the night at Jackie's afterwards, which is what my dad thinks is happening the whole night.
I still have no idea what to wear though, maybe I should have asked Jackie and Vivian for help...
I guess I can look around in my closet tomorrow.
