I gazed at the invitation Ariana gave me. My heart raced for several seconds until I opened it.

What can I say?

Curiosity was killing me.

When I opened the invitation, my eyes felt like they were going to pop out of their sockets.

A party.

Most people would be happy about it, but I felt like my heart fell to the pit of my stomach.

After awkwardly looking at it, I gave her a thumbs up to show that I recognized  what is in it. Then continued reading it.

As I was pretending to keep reading, Ariana  was standing in front of me , waiting for my reply. My mind felt lost in thought at that point. A party... what would I do at a party?

As usual my life kept slapping me for what a loser I am.

Another thing I have never done.

Should I reject it?

Should I accept it?

After looking like I  was in the middle of a vision. My mind started mind games.

Two people where standing on my shoulders. One dressed in red and the other in white.

"Terra, accept it!" The one dressed in red hollered.

"Sweetheart, don't  accept it. You well know what happens at parties." The one dressed in white calmly said.

Now I  was in a dilemma. I was left in so much thought that I  created a good mind and a bad mind.

True, a lot of really wild things happen at parties but this is Ariana   inviting me.

"Terra, you are such a loser, for once step outside loser zone and free yourself . Do some new things. Experience life!"  Bad mind hollered. I really don't  understand why bad mind kept shouting at me and why I  had a bad mind in the first place!

"I guess bad mind is right. Try new things."  Good mind replied. Surprising me with that reply.

Wow! My conscience is full of surprises.

"Yes I  will come." I  said to Ariana. It felt like a really long time for such words to come out of my mouth.

She then replied with an 'okay' then left.

There I  was, watching Ariana walk away and looking stupid with two imaginary people on my shoulders.

True, a loser like me needs to try new things for once.

But what do people wear at parties?

I don't think it is anything fancy.

I know one thing is for sure that if I  walked into the party looking like some Benjamin Franklin ,I  would not only get peoples attention but also get their laughs.

So instead of looking like a fool,  I might spare myself the laughter by dressing normally.

A dress can work right?

Whatever. I just need to dress like I  normally would.

So I  picked out a pink dress. I really love pink so I  thought I  might wear that colour.

I guess the outfit is settled. Now what needs to be settled is my attitude .

I  need to be as wild as I  can be. Free myself from all worries and have a good time.

Isn't that what parties are for?
