Thoughts of outing and friends gathering after so long had totally enriched my soul with excitement and aced my enthusiasm level. According to my memory the last time i went out for outing in a large number was on my birthday , 3rd December ,and that was just with my family at a restaurant, in Manitoba, place where my parents live.
8 :45 p.m.
Now when i am done with today's studying scheduled task , i am ready to rock!!. I normally leave my dress selection to the end but i didn't know that this time i was going to regret.
I leapt out from my seat and ran towards my wardrobe and started delving in it ,looking for the 'outfit of the night' , term which mom used previously when we used to live together.
Trying not to mingle these hurting memories to the excitement ,i carried on with my search .My eyes suddenly got fixed on a hot red bodycon dress lying on my right side . It looked hot and perfect to show off my curves but fuck it ,it's way to formal and sexy for a casual friends meet and i slided it off . The outfits which i came across were either too slinky or way too casual .'I want elegance with casualness combined ' ,with this thought and frustration filled in my head ,i nudged open the left side and I discovered gold mine-' the outfit of the day '.
An olive green jacket ,a black crop top over my bra and a pair of washed out blue jeans with circular hollows surrounded by circular metal on the side hem ,was my outfit. Addition of black ankle boots would be a total blast ,i thought.

Quickly i donned those piece of fabrics, leaving my hairs open ,I came out clacking my heels on the floor , i called out ,"Granny i am going to THE BITES ",almost shouting .
" Whaaaat?!!!",she shouted back.
Making it convenient for her to hear me i followed her voice and reached kitchen where she was busy talking on phone .Standing on the door frame i heard her .."Hopper, maybe we can go to ......", when she turned back towards me and said "yeah what were you telling?", when her expression changed from soft smile( smile maybe because of someone she hasn't told me about) to a kind of surprised one when she saw me .
Pinning her eyes directly at me she whispered to her mobile phone "will talk to you later" and pressed the red button on her phone ,calling off the call .
"Are you going somewhere , at this time ?" , she asked.
"Yeah ! I'm going to THE BITES , we friends have planned a small gathering there, don't worry I'll be safe " ,i replied assuring .
" You know about the attacks ......", she was about to complete when i cut her off saying "If anybody tried to touch me,I'll kick his ass".
"These are animal attacks , a young couple was attacked last night and was found unconscious in the woods "......Although they are alive and can't remember even the figure of that creature , i suggest you to take pepper spray with you ", she explained after a long pause and pointed towards a small can kept on the slab.
"I am just going to THE BITES ,its just a few steps before school...",i defended
"Please, i don't want to loose my other granddaughter ", she requested in a soft voice .
I remembered what was she like,what was i like when we lost Sofie ,2 years ago .Understanding her concern ,her feelings ,not to make her feel more miserable i quickly picked up the spray and tucked it in my pocket.
"Bye !see you soon ,I'll be here around 10 ", i said giving her a small hug and a quick peck on a cheek .
I walked out of my door the cool wind suddenly hit the skin of my hands making me hug my arms but these chills were enjoyable under the dark night sky with millions of starts twinkling like candle flames with me under it . I walked slowly in an order to enjoy the wind surrounding me ,i reached the lamppost from where at a distance of 10 steps was a Banyan tree with fairy lights fixed in it ,located on one side of road and on the other side was my destination. ,as per my eyes .
Suddenly my phone chimed and i tucked my phone out of my pocked .It was a message from Elisha ,"Where are you ?"
" Exactly ten steps away ",i typed ceasing my pace and then continued walking.
I was visiting this place after 1 month due to the renovation work going on here.Peeking through the glass door i started taking a peep inside until the guard opened the door . I stepped my foot inside and the first modification that surprised me was the lighting -the warm yellow lighting and the small trinkets and vases on the table was giving a standard look ,"finally something up to mark in this locality ."
I rolled and narrowed my eyes searching for the huge crowd of friends this girl was talking about . At the back end of the restaurant were them , chatting and giggling so loud that i easy figure them out .
What!! It is just four people .Ok !!Fuck the number , no matter if it doesn't turns out to be that serious meeting , I am definitely going to have long awaited ........restaurant food.
I tried my best to make you all visualize Amber's 'outfit of the night ' . .Did you people think who this person Hopper is and why Ember's granny has not told her about him yet .
This Hopper twist is important as i will be connecting this information to future's coming chapters .
Jensen will be there in next chapter and you all will get a close view of Ember's past so stay tuned .
