I'm Not Daria
Small feud

I entered the living room, we saw Mrs. Daralyn and Mr. David was sitting on the couch, waiting for us. Mrs. Daralyn is wearing an elegant maroon dress that suits her and Mr. David wore a tuxedo with a tie that matched his wife's dress.

Mrs. Daralyn looked up as soon as we entered and got up with a smile. "You look beautiful!"

He stepped forward and hugged me.

"You too, Miss. Daralyn."

"Thank you, Anna."

"Are you guys ready? We have to leave now or we'll be late for our launch party" Mr. Trump said. David was impatient. "Oh, and the three of you look amazing.

I giggle. "Thank you, dad."

"Is Devan coming?" Anna asked

"Yes, of course. He had already left a moment ago to pick up Luna".

Mrs. Daralyn and Mr. David gave some instructions to the guards and servants and then we walked towards our car.

As I slid into the back seat of the car with Anna, my uneasiness again burst to the surface, refraining from biting my nails but squeezing my chessboard-style clutch bag to death.

Anna looked at me and placed her hand on my shoulder.

"Calm down" he said, turning to stare out the window as we drove through the streets of New York.

...

After some time, which felt very short, we arrived at the venue. The place was crowded with paparazzi and luxury cars. Crowds of people with cameras rushed towards the speeding cars and crowded around it. Thank God for the colored windows.

Our car went straight into the parking area that the paparazzi should not pass. Car Ny. Daralyn and Mr. David stopped next to our car.

I'm afraid we have to go to the entrance to enter the venue, but Mr. David and Mrs. Daralyn led us through the door at the end of the parking lot and then we went inside.

It was a large and luxurious hall. Right in the middle of it was a smooth, elevated rotating stage where a white car was placed. I concluded that the car was a Torrec Serychel, I did not know much about the car so I only knew its name. Just as described by Mr. David The car exudes luxury, elegance, and grandeur.

The hall was filled with people wearing their best clothes. The women in elegant dresses chatted with their friends. The men wearing black tuxedos with the women holding their hands had a business conversation with each other.

Upstairs, there is a balcony with comfortable seating where prominent faces from the creative industries gather together, most likely gossiping or looking for work.

On one side of the hall, there is a buffet laid out with delicious food. The aroma spread throughout the hall, calling me to come and devour everything.

People were still pouring into the hall in pairs and there was soft music playing in the background. I thought there would be a dance.

"Daria"! Someone shouted, almost exposing me to a heat stroke, I turned to the source and found Samantha holding Jessica and a handsome man, who I assumed was Ardhika. They're walking towards us.

Sam looked so beautiful that I couldn't help but look at her in awe and a little envy. She looked like a true goddess in her dress. She was wearing a blood red dress with a deep V neckline. There were two hemispheres on her thighs that showed both her long legs. She was wearing a glittering diamond necklace and her hair was perfectly sheathed. His black high heels made him look taller than ever. Ardhika fell an inch or two shorter in front of him. Her makeup was admirable and her lips were painted red.

"Hey, you look amazing." Anna said as she was pulled into her arms.

"Thank you, and so do you Anna, you look amazing too.

"Thank you."

"Hey, Jess," I said as I lifted her up easily. "You look like a princess". And it's true, with her blue dress and black wedges.

He sniggered in my arms. "You look beautiful"

"Thank you!"

I looked at him and gave him a hesitant smile. "As usual, I'm fine. How's yours?"

"As usual. I was actually planning to go on vacation with my family. Need a break from all work".

I'm nodding. "Yes, I'd better. That's a good idea".

Surprising, even to me how easy it was for a conversation to flow with a person who was only known two minutes ago. It was not difficult to talk to them as if we had known each other for a long time.

We talked to them again before we joined Mrs. Daralyn and Mr. David they talked to each other and talked about business.

"Where's Liam?" Ardhika asked while looking around her.

"He'll be here soon. He said Nathalie needed a lot of time to get ready" Sam said as he rolled his eyeballs.

"That's right. Women do need a lot of time to get ready" Mr David said, staring intently at his wife

"Or maybe you don't have something worth taking care of so you don't need much time" Ms Daralyn said, staring at Mr David with a false look.

"Did you call us ugly?" She asked.

"only you. My son and daughter-in-law are handsome men."

We all laughed at Mr. David was surprised.

"I'm your husband, ma'am".

"Unfortunately," Mrs Daralyn sighed but we all know she was just playing around with him and how much she loved David.

"I can't believe you think other men are more attractive than me!"

"What's? You said balding in your head was interesting?"

"You don't just comment about my hair.

"It's just that, you have to have hair, you don't have."

We all laughed out loud. They were so funny together.

"I'll tell you that he was the most handsome boy in my High School days."

"You're a bookworm. That's not handsome. You're just a little cute. And there's a teacher who likes it", Miss. Daralyn said with a smile recalling those memories.

"Hey guys!" Liam's excited voice boomed in our ears and we turned towards him. His hand was holding a very beautiful woman, Nathalie. I've seen it on the front pages of magazines and newspapers. But looking at it in person, before my eyes only told me how little justice the pictures did to her beauty.

She had black hair with brown highlights and her eyes were a rich brown color. His skin looks so soft. The dress is the most beautiful I've ever seen, not that I've seen it many times. Cherry-red mermaid dress with half of the top lined. Her hair was combed to one side of her face and she wore large red earrings that matched her clothes. Just like me, she wears a pair of silver high heels.

"Hey, man. We've been waiting for you." Ardhika said, greeting her with a hug.

"sorry. It's too late because there's Nathalie here" he said, pointing at her.

He hit her with his bag. "You're the one who won't let me get ready."

He shrugged his shoulders. "I miss you so much, so forgive me for wanting to spend a few more minutes with my girlfriend.

"Oh, Devan and Luna are also here," Sam announced and we turned towards the entrance where Devan had just entered with Luna holding her arm.
