Her house was a cosy one and there were eight of us. Sophia gave her night shorts and tops to wear cause obviously, we weren't going to spend the night in the ball gowns. We got changed into the casuals. All the other three girls chose their fits and I was left with a black crop top and light pink shorts. The boys managed with Sophia's dad's night dresses. He was well built and fit so his dresses perfectly fit the boys.
Now it was time for a quick introduction to the new members of our group. Sophia's boyfriend and Jason's girlfriend.
me: Yeah guys, won't you like to introduce yourself? I am Asteria Brown. But you can call me with nicknames if you want to.
Carsten: And she is mine.
me: Oh I thought someone among the boys was gonna say that I am his. Despite "being having a girlfriend". Isn't it?
Carsten: Haha no. I just informed it. Oh, and I am Carsten George. I don't have a short name though.
Seb: Hey guys, I am Sebastian Martin commonly known as Seb.
Naomi: And I am Naomi Gabler. Even, I don't have a short name like Carsten.
Sophia: This is Sophia Sanders but you can call me... I just realized I don't have a nickname too.
Jason: Watashinonamaeha Yagami Lightodesu.
Jason's girlfriend: What? Not again. Stop dragging anime into this. But by the way, I am Natalie Davis.
me: Oh hey Natalie. But what did he say?
Natalie: He said, " My name is Light Yagami."
me: Who is he now?
Jason: He is the protagonist of Death Note, the most famous Japanese anime series.
me: Sounds interesting. I think I should start watching animes.
Sophia's boyfriend: Indeed you should. Animes are really interesting. Oh well, I am Blake Horan.
Carsten: Nice to meet you, Blake.
me: But Natalie, how did you understand Japanese?
Naomi: Yeah I was just going to ask the same.
Natalie: Oh, I watch anime too. That's how I met Jason.
Carsten: Oh!! cool.
Seb: How did you guys meet?
Natalie: We met on Instagram, we started talking about common interests and that's how anime popped up.
Jason: Yup and then we started hanging out more often.
me: Oh interesting but...
Jason: I know what you are gonna ask. That Anna's plan. Natalie knows about it and she has already scolded me for being such a douchebag. She made me realize my mistake and that's why I told the truth to Carsten.
me: In a way, thanks, Natalie. ( I sighed and gave a friendly smile to Natalie)
Natalie: Come on, we are friends now. Don't thank me. (She smiled)
Seb: How did you guys meet? ( pointing towards Sofia and Blake)
Sofia: Well, we met at an event.
Carsten: Event?
Blake: Yeah, it was her sister and my brother's wedding.
Naomi: Wait!!! What??? This is getting interesting.
Blake: Haha so we met there and we started talking as friends on Instagram, went on several dates, and the rest, all of you can guess.
me: It is so filmy.
Carsten: It is cool but not much filmier than our story.
Blake: Indeed. Sophia told me about you two. ( Everyone laughed)
I sighed or to be more precise I blushed and pretended to sigh.
It was only 11 pm, so we decided to play a game, then we would watch a movie or two. We decided to watch Fifty Shades of Grey. By the time the movie ended it was 1:30 am. I was going to suggest another movie when suddenly the house became dark just the way a train becomes when it enters a cave...
