It was Valentines day, and, like any other holiday, Ari sat alone in her cabin while her brothers and sisters all headed to the mess hall for the dance. She was perfectly content in her old shorts and t-shirt, not having to brush her hair or wear any makeup for an entire day. It was a godsend. She was practicing her knife-throwing with a borrowed pair if the camp's blades, throwing them against the cabin's swinging door, causing it to move out a bit with every hit. She'd occasionally sit down and eat some of the assorted Amul chocolates she'd gotten her last trip to India. After all, who needs a dance when you have chocolates?
Bollywood music was practically busting out of the portable speaker she'd bought for occasions just like this. "Dekhi lakh lakh pardesi girl, sab toh soni n saadi Desi Girl, Who's the hottest girl in the world?" Okay, yeah, maybe she was singing along a bit and dancing spontaneously, skipping around the cabin, but no one was there to see her. She really could care less. She was thinking of maybe downloading some Bollywood movies and spending the night crying in hindi. She still had a good five hours before anyone started to even head back to the cabin.
Okay, so maybe there was a small part of her that had hoped that a certain someone would show up and ask her to go to the dance with him, but she'd tried to move on past that. She needed a break from her stiff self, and a dance filled with other people was not the place for that.
