"You have to come, Ella! Everyone will be here. It'll be so much fun. Please," the pleading voice said. Pleading voice, being my best friend Alexis Layne Harrison.
I'm not sure if I can come to the party. I have a lot of homework and you know I'm already falling behind in school. Plus we've only have two months of it. Maybe another time," I said apologetically.
"Oh, come on. You have to come. Besides, you can just get extra helpl from you tutor. And there'll be tons of cute guys there. Justin always has the hottest guys at his partys," Alexis persuayed.
"You know that guys don't like me. They don't even second glance me after they see you. But I'll go if you'll stop bothering me," I gave in. It was better than spending my Saturday night doing homework.
Alexis took a loud, surprised gasp then exclaimed, "Ella Raine Malone! You did not just say that! Guys are all over you like mosquitoes on a sweaty person on a hot summer evening."
"Way to compare me to a sweaty person. I feel loved," I sarcastically said. "What time does the party start? And what should I wear?" Alexis paused and thought for a moment. "It starts around sevenish and it's at Justin's place. You should wear that white tank top that you got at Bebe's and that floral skirt from Forever 21 with those purple pumps from Baker's. You'll look hot."
"Um, yeah, too hot for my parents own good. That skirt will make my parents flip. Especially on my legs."
"Dude, I'd die for your legs. They're killer. And if you've got it, flaunt it. But, hey, I've gotta go get ready, too. I'll swing by to pick you up. Love ya!"
"Love you, too. Bye!"
As soon as I hung up, I got up from my bed and went to take a shower washing my hair and my body thoroughly. When that was done, I dried my hair and put on the clothes Lexi advised me to wear. The skirt and pumps made my legs look longer, not that they needed to be. I put on black bangles and styled my hair in big curls. I completed my look with purple mascara, eyeliner, and lip gloss.
When I finished with my preperations, I took a minute to check myself out. I honestly look too hot for my own good. Lord, I'm beginning to sound arrogant. Hopefully, I can get out of here without the rents noticing. I'll just leave them a note.
I got a text from Lexi saying she was witing on me in my living room.
Well there goes my plan. My parents are always there with someone, or watching something. I took a deep breath and headed down the spiraling staircase. Just as I suspected, my mom was there with my aunt, Karen. When they spotted me they just about freaked. My mom broke the heavy silence first.
"Ella...I...wow. I should be telling you to change but I think you're old enough to make your own decisions. Just as long as they don't effect Dad's campaign."
Right. I forgot to mention one little detail. My dad is running for president.
