Forced to go out

It has been weeks since I came here. I miss my family, my place, but I have to be here. Even if every morning was dull without them here, I had to remind myself that I have to do this and get over with this as soon as possible.

On one such completely normal day, I got some time off. free of all the classes, work, and people. This was the perfect time to binge-watch my favorite show. As I was about to do so, my block mate came over. And people coming over to me is never a good sign. With her was here another friend I knew, but these two and I were not exactly friends, so why was she here?

"What is it?"

"Hey, I was just wondering if you are free tomorrow? We were planning on a movie."

"Yeah, you should go, it's good to head out sometimes," I replied with a feeling of uneasiness.

"We wanted you to come along."

NO! I do not want to head out of my comfort zone, it's a terrible idea. But how do I refuse them? So I blurted out the first thing I could think of.

"Sorry, I have assignments to do."

"We will help you complete the assignments." They pleaded.

Argh! Those puppy dog eyes.

"Please come with us." They insisted again "It will be fun."

"I'll ask my mom and tell you the next morning."

Their eyes instantly lit up. This sympathetic behavior is going to ruin me someday. But I did not want to go, I could just download the movies and watch them while resting in my comfort zone.

I called my mom and told her about all this. Well, she said what I expected,

"Go out, It will be fun. Also, you should go out more often than stay in. Go out, explore the city, spend time with your friends, make new friends, and have fun, my dear. You will miss us less with that, stop being lonely."

I agreed, hesitantly.

The next day, the three of us girls went over to the theater. On our way there, we spoke, and they seemed quite likable. We reached and booked our seats. Just then, one of them received a call and by her speaking, I could understand that someone else was joining us too. There were two guys, and one girl among those two was already committed, my relationship status was still unknown to people, nor that I planned on revealing it to others.

Holy crap! I am not here for matchmaking at all. Someone save me!
