        ...She then took me to a room which was titled,'Gaming Room' and as she was about to enter, she quickly closed the door, grabbed me by the hand, and started moving away quickly from there.

"What happened?", I asked.

"There are a lot of my cousins over there. If they see me, they will force me to play along with them...especially Ella!", she sighed,"...we'll go there later", she completed.

"Let's go to the drawing-room instead.", she said. Now the drawing-room of that house was not just like any other drawing-room...it was a breathtaking drawing room with an enormous television, turquoise green couches faced towards it, and a beautiful chandelier up on the ceiling along with pretty lights. It felt like Claudia's house was a palace and she was the princess. As we sat down on the comfiest couch ever, I heard a familiar voice,

"Claudia!!!".She looked at me and said,

"It's just my brother shouting for no reason at all".The next moment, the door opened,

"Claudia! Why do you always have to steal my camera and why-", he stopped midtrack when he saw me and I held my breaths when I saw him.

"Ethan?", I said, getting up. It was hardly believable. Ethan was Claudia's brother and the person whom I had returned money was his dad...and...Ethan had been singing and playing the guitar in the auditorium...I felt my head spinning around, it was so confusing.

"Daisy?", he said, looking at me, surprised as well. Then there was this awkward silence wherein everyone including me, Claudia, and Ethan were trying to absorb what's happening. Claudia was the one to break the awkward silence,

"You guys know each other?", she asked, quite amazed. The question was for me but he answered,

"Of course we do. We are good friends from college", he said, looking at me with a smile.

"Then why did you not invite her for our party?", she asked. His face fell. He had no answer and again the silence was starting to turn awkward so I quickly said,

"Ethan, you play the guitar very well and you can sing excellent as well...you never told me that?". He was about to answer when Claudia interrupted and looking at me, she said,

" Excellent? Daisy, he doesn't know how to play the guitar plus he sings bad and you know what, he's a self-taught!".He laughed,

"Claude! Not everyone has good taste!", he said. Claudia ran behind him while he ran away. She came back, quite frustrated,

"Tell me how do you remain 'good friends' with such a stupid person?", she asked, looking at me. This time I had no answer. He appeared at the door again. Claudia shot him an angry look.

"Let's continue this tom and jerry game later, okay Claude? Daisy, you're coming?", he asked, looking at me.

"Where?"

"Look, Ethan, we were very happy until you came and started ruining everything! Go away!", she shouted at him.

"And hey, Claude! I saw Ella coming out of your studio and she had one of your accessories-"

"What! Why didn't you tell her to get out of my studio?!!!"

"I don't know...I thought you told her to-"

"Daisy! I'll catch you up later!", she said and rushed out.

"Did Ella actually go in there?", I asked.

"Not really. I like pranking her sometimes...she's extremely possessive about her studio!", he laughed.

"That is not good. She'll be mad at you!"

"It's okay sometimes! Anyway, what did I come here for?", he asked.

"You came here for your camera..."

"Oh yes!!! She always hides my camera somewhere or the other! Leave it. Did you meet my mom?", he asked.

"No.", I answered.

"She'll be so happy to meet you.", he said and took me to another room which had so many guests...I started feeling minute again. He looked through the crowd.

"Mom!", he said waving towards her. His mom had brown eyes just like his and she was wearing a floor touching orange dress with a bun.

"Mom, meet my friend, Daisy...", he said. She looked at me and smiled,

"Daisy! It's so good to meet you and see you after all the description he-"

"Mom! See there's a guest behind...looking for you", he said quickly, stopping her from completing the statement. The truth was that even I wanted to hear the full statement!!!
