Chapter 1
'And here is the last one of them.' Ariana sighed as she put down the last of many boxes.
'Are you sure that all the boxes made it here?' Jane chuckled as she watched Ariana slump next to her on the couch.
'Oh, please! I have had enough already.' Ariana rolled her eyes. 'Just because I lost some stupid bet doesn't give you the right to step on my EVERY nerve.'
'Okay okay, I am sorry,' Jane apologized after realizing Ariana's tone had a hint of annoyance to it. 'Maybe I should have helped you in bringing these boxes. Maybe I even felt the urge to help you, but what can I say? I am a woman of my word.' She winked at her. 'You should have believed me when I said that Justin Cavanaugh was going to be the prom prince. You lost the bet and that's why you had to get all those heavy boxes up here.'
Ariana looked at her wearily. 'Are you done?' She asked. 'So what if Justin Cavanaugh did get the prom prince title? So what if he did look a little better than Brendan Hunter that night? Still doesn't give him the right to be one.' She snapped. 'I mean, a high school prom prince is the title which engraves in your mind for the rest of your life, and only the guy who actually remains loyal, nice, handsome and mature throughout the years should be given it, not a playboy who is proud to have slept with almost every girl in the school.'
'Excuse me, for your kind information, Justin didn't just "look a little better than Brendan Hunter" that night, he looked hell lot cooler and sexier than a drunken guy who had smudged lipstick marks of every girl on his face,' Jane explained. 'And it's called "Prom" prince for a reason', she imitated quote marks on the word prom. 'It's not High school prince'.
Ariana tried her best to think of a comeback and throw it on her best friend as she always did whenever they had an argument, instead, her mind remained blank and she sighed instead. 'Fine, you win.' She responded which made Jane giggle.
'Awww!' Jane expressed her overflowing affection by hugging Ariana so tightly that she almost suffocated.
'Ja-, st-, st-op!' She coughed out. Jane released her after a second with a huge grin on her face.
'Gosh! You never learn do you? Well, leaving all that aside, I still can't believe that I made it to my favorite place with my best friend to continue majoring in my favorite subject.' Ariana claimed.
'True that. It's time you learn use of the word "we" instead of me, my, I and mine. We are in this together after all. I can't believe the fact that I tagged along with you on this whole new journey thingy which, by the way, most people told me to have my own, since life goes on and friends come and go.' Jane said in a melodramatic manner which forced a smile on Ariana's face.
After about fifteen seconds of silence, Ariana cursed as she glanced at her phone.
'What's up?' Jane asked her. 'Don't tell me you forgot your date with Ethan again.'
Ariana freaked out momentarily.
'How did you know?' She asked, eyeing her suspiciously.
'Oh baby, don't you be forgetting that I'm your soul sister.' Jane teased her with a wink.
