     ...Later in the day, I was studying a book related to Logo study when I heard someone come and sit right next to my chair. Firstly, I got a great shock when I looked up because I assumed it to be Sophie, okay let's be honest, I assumed it to be Ethan. But, it was Pete. I had never seen him at the library before, so I don't know why he came.

"Hey! Good Afternoon...what are you up to?", he asked in his usual tone.

"Umm...just studying...", I replied. He took the book from me and inspected the cover.

"Logo Study?"

"Yes, just having a tough time with that subject.", I replied.

"I am a big fan of Logo design, not to forget an expert as well. Any help needed, you can ask me.", he said with the creepiest smile.

"Sure.", I said as if I was ever going to ask him to help me out.

"So, did you make your mind about the movie?", he asked. I almost said, 'What movie?'....my terrible memory but thankfully I remembered what was he talking about.

"I am so sorry...I have my lectures that day so I -"

"Fine...", he said sadly and got up. Then he started walking and mid-track stopped,

"By the way, you look adorable in that picture on the hoarding...your boyfriend's truly an amazing photographer...", and with that, he walked off.

  "Ethan, we are inviting you to my house for a dinner party this Sunday", I said as we were walking home along with our bikes. He looked confused.

"Actually, I was going to invite you to my birthday party...".Then I realized...how did I never give this a thought? He's going to have a birthday party, of course.

"So...you won't come?"

"I-", he paused and thought, "how about a lunch party of yours?"

"Lunch...? Fine, that's okay.", I replied.

"I am sorry, I would not have made you change your plans but we have already invited our relatives and the invitation timing is sent out for dinner, so..."

"No, it's fine, I understand.", I replied.

"And do come to the party!".Now, I could already imagine what a party of a boy who has two very branded cars and rich watches looks like, it would be a big, big, big party with guests everywhere and with a rich seven-star hotel, with dance and music and DJ going on, with all kinds of food that you could ever eat and with everyone giving him rich, expensive presents...thinking all this already made me feel so small.No way could I go to his party, NO WAY.

"Are you listening!", he laughed.

"Um, what?", I said, trying to cover up because definitely, I was not listening.

"You were so engrossed in thinking about...I don't know what that I am talking and talking like some crazy person!", he laughed.

"I am sorry...what were you saying?"

"I was saying that will you come to the party?". 'What am I supposed to say?', I thought in my mind.

"No.", I replied.

"But why?"

"Because...", I thought..." I don't feel like coming.", I completed.
