I'm Not Daria

I'm Not Daria
Cheat day


.......


"You're going to the street store?" whispered to luna


He looked at me with his eyebrows raised. "Can't we?"


"I just don't think it's your style."


"You're not wrong. We all love shopping on the streets. We just don't do it often because we're often mobbed. But when we are in another country, we don't have to worry because not many people recognize us. It's also because we're undercover".


"Wow, I never imagined people like you shopping in the streets."


"That's what's annoying about people. They just assume if someone has a lot of money, they will look down on the poor, consider items that are not designer-made as trash and generally be rude. Okay, they're not entirely wrong because it did happen to my mom. But still, just because of a few people, they shouldn't think that they're all like that".


"okay." Some things really touched Luna's heart.why did she say all that as if she was offended. Maybe he was accused of being rude, and someone who underestimated others. Luna is actually a pretty good woman, just a little less fun when someone is bothering her.


"May I ask you something?" ask me and he nodded. I'm proceeding. "Why doesn't Shinta like you?"


"Well, she's a rich, arrogant, mischievous woman."


I gasp. "You call him naughty!?"


"He deserves it. Now come on, put this wig on." Said Luna, while thrusting a curly blonde wig at me.


I put it on, checked myself, I look worthy to wear it, unrecognizable. The other girls were waiting outside for us because they had finished disguising early


Luna wore sunglasses and a hat on top of her Five Seconds Of Summer T-shirt and dark blue jeans.


I've seen a lot of photos of Luna with the band, so I couldn't help but ask her.


"Have you ever met Five Seconds Of Summer?"


"Yes. They're cool. Very funny"


"Who's your favorite?"


"Well, they're all very good, but Ashton is my favorite, I just spoke to him yesterday. Even though he doesn't know you, he still apologizes for not being able to attend your birthday because his band is on tour right now".


"Yes God. Whoa"


"Now come on, the kids have waited long enough". Luna said as she dragged me behind her and out of the room we were in. We are still in the hotel, we are going to go shopping in the streets.


I awakened myself from the trance and followed it.


"I'm sorry, I took the conversation off topic. I asked why you called Shinta a-"


I looked around to see if anyone was eavesdropping and continued in a soft whisper, "-a bad woman?"


"She never acted like a mother to me. He doesn't even want to adopt, but Pandu, I mean I see something in me and he just wants to adopt me, treat me like his own daughter, he does his job well" she said with a smile.


"He never made me feel as if I came from an underprivileged background, he filled the void left by my parents. But Shinta," .. Luna paused for a moment, a grin replacing her beautiful smile,


"he treated me like shit, until now he still treats me like that. She thought I was a gold digger, a witch casting spells on her husband or something. He never left an opportunity to bring up my past and make me born is the biggest mistake in the world. I never understood why he hated me so much. It's ironic how she did so many charities but secretly whispered to me about how I fall into the category of poor people she helps."


Hearing Luna talk about it made me see her on a different side. I never imagined that he had such a bad life. If I saw him from afar, he would look like a spoiled brat to many at some point, I also thought like that, which embarrassed me at the moment. I hate how quickly I judge someone's nature.


"Enough time to tell a story, let's go and do some shopping?" Luna said enthusiastically but she realized how much it was so forced.


"Pritta's not coming with us?" ask Bella


"No, he doesn't like shopping on the streets."


"Oh." Despite knowing that she did not recognize me and she was not as bad as I thought, I was still relieved to know that she would not accompany us.


We hitchhiked in one of our cars, Luna sat in the passenger seat and the three of us dressed casually were in the back.


We found out about a street where there were various stalls and shops selling various kinds of goods, so we decided to shop there. With the instructions given to our driver not to leave his place until we returned, we set out on a busy road. It was a bit crowded but we were mixed.


There were many shops lined up next to each other on either side of the rather narrow street. First we checked the clothing stores and we bought some items that we liked. It was nice to know that these girls also loved shopping on the streets. We try on clothes just for fun without intending to buy just to see how we look while wearing them.


Bella bought a very fancy hat for herself and she immediately stood out in the crowd, forcing Bella to let go. We didn't want to draw much attention to ourselves enough to be sure that for others, we were just ordinary college students, and in my and Anna's case, it was true.


We even tried a lot of typical Parisian street food. I was shocked when Bella jumped at the street food vendor because we avoided the shops.


"What?" Bella asked, seeing my shocked expression. "This is cheat day, and so is Luna".


We ate a lot of food and we visited almost all the stalls in the area and tried all the food we could find.


In the end, our stomachs and hands were full. We each carried around four shopping bags containing our own groceries. We can't let our bodyguards bring it for us because it would look strange to others. However, we are not careless to shop alone. Some bodyguards followed us strictly for protection, lest anyone recognize one of us


We returned to the hotel in no time, just in time for lunch which we all decided not to eat because it was full. After taking a nap for two hours, we went out again. This time Pritta accompanied us. We'll watch a movie. A movie in an actual cinema, and not in a private cinema with a lot of people around who hopefully won't recognize us. Being surrounded by people is the last thing we want


After Anna bought tickets for all of us because she was the only one who wasn't a famous face, it didn't mean she didn't have the face of a billionaire's daughter so had to take things into account.


Come to think of. Pritta is also not a famous face except while in college, she knows that her father is rich and she has friendly connections with famous people like Daria and her friends and family, and she has a lot of friends and family, but still he was never highlighted by the media.


This movie is an action thriller and pretty good. I love the storyline and the actors did a good job. It turns out that one of the actors in it is Bella's cousin. I'm not even surprised by the revelation.I'd love to meet someone famous who somehow has no family connection or even friends with Luna's family, Devan , Bella or Pritta.


We bought a lot of popcorn and still not enough.


"Don't be offended, but don't you think you ate a lot today?" Anna asked after the movie ended and we walked towards the car.


"Today is our Cheat day." Bella repeated


"All of you? At the same time?"


"Yes, it's great to eat foods that we shouldn't be eating with other people who aren't supposed to be eating them either, making us feel better,"


"And Nathalie? Is today the day of the cheats too?" ask


Luna grunts. "First of all make sure he knows what a cheat day is, swear that the woman has never eaten anything good since birth. She was born to be a model, literally."


"That sounds sad".


"Every time I saw him eating, which was very rare, it was always a salad and all the healthy, low-fat recipes he kept looking for. He practically lives with it. Liam tried to make her eat more or something that didn't contain vegetables or salads, but he only tried it once or twice."


"Talking about food, I'm hungry again. So let's go to McDonalds. I'd love to eat a burger and fries, it's been a long time since I've eaten that, '" Bella pouted, putting her hand on her stomach that must have sounded like a rumble back then.


I'm not done with my cheat day either," said Luna, "You've read my mind"


So we found a nearby burger and ate some burgers that counted as an early dinner, so we don't think we're going to have dinner with the family today.
