(Hey guys! Sorry I haven’t been updating lately! I have been out of reception for ages!! Sorry it’s a bit late but I hope you enjoy it anyway! I have some great ideas for the book so I hope you all stay tuned and keep reading!)
It’s finally Friday! Skylar and I are at school watching them at lunch and we notice them start to look at us. I wonder what they are saying!
As Skylar and I are wondering what’s happening, Abby starts approaching us!
“oh my god, is she coming over” I whisper to Skylar
“I think she is!”
“what do we do?”
“just try and act like we don’t care and be cool, okay?” Skylar says
EEEEEEEEEEPPPPP! Okay Macey act cool.
I take slow deep breaths as she comes closer
“hey you two” she says trying to hide a small smile on her face
“oh hey Abby” Skylar says
“So cuz it’s the first week back at school we are having a party tonight at my house, everyone is going, so I guess you two can come if you want” she says
“what?” I say with a low confused voice
“I’m not repeating it, so are you coming or not”
“um, yeah okay whatever, what time” Skylar says trying to be cool
“it starts at 6”
“cool, thanks” I say and look down to try and avoid something bad happening
“okay, see you there” Abby says and a big smile comes to her face as she turns around
what? No way, she was actually being nice and stuff! I’m so excited!
“oh my god Skylar! Our first cool party! Did that actually just happen or was that a dream. What do we do? WHAT DO WE WEAR!?”
“I have no idea, at least I’m already going to your house anyway so we don’t have to sort out that, but we have to look really good! We will find something to wear” she replies
“okay, YAY IM SO EXCITED!”
the rest of the day goes by quite quickly like always and Skylar and I start to walk home. There is so much we need to do, and that includes asking my mum for permission to go to the party.
We walk inside and I am really nervous to ask my mum, I have never really had to ask my mum for this kind of thing before so I have no idea what she is going to say. My mum isn’t home yet but she texts me saying she will be home in 10 minutes. Skylar and I go to the kitchen and get something to eat for afternoon tea, we both have some fruit and a glass of water.
“so what should we bring to the party?” I say
“lets bring plastic water bottles to make it look like we are drinking but we will fill them with water!”
“yes, that’s such a good idea!”
“and I think we will need to get some cigarettes”
“what! No way! We are underage anyway! What if someone sees us with a packet of cigarettes! That crazy!” I say frantically
“that’s the point! We have to make it look like we are bad! But I have no idea of how we will get them! and we will throw a couple out to make it look like we have smoked some of them. Don’t be like that Macey, we will be fine! You have to stop overthinking things, its okay to be bad sometimes, and plus… don’t you want to get in their group anyway? This is how they will let us in! don’t worry, we have each other if anything goes wrong” Skylar says
“yeah I guess so, but”
“No Macey! No buts, we have to do this! Just trust me okay!” she interrupts
“okay, I guess your right”
“I always am” she says sarcastically and laughs
“well I have an idea, you know how my dad smoked, well my mum has been too sad from when he died to clean out all his stuff, I’m sure he will have a packet somewhere” I say
“see what happens when you don’t overthink things!”
I laugh
“okay well we have like 3 minutes until my mum comes back to we need to hurry!”
we both run into the spare room where all my dads stuff is. It is so dusty and has a cold feeling to it. it is bringing back memories of him, he died about a year ago on February 13th. I remember that day so well, my family were camping by a river in Byron Bay, that’s why I love going there all the time, because it reminds me of him. We were there for his birthday actually. Camping was his favorite thing to do that’s why we were there. We were fishing in our boat and everything was so happy. It was such a beautiful day, the sun was out and there were blue sky’s. it was just me and my dad fishing, mum was back at the campsite with Jade cooking. The river was calm and we were just lying back watching the clouds when he stood up. I heard a massive bang and then it became clear, my dad got shot. It only took one shot for him to fall over. The blood was gushing out of him so fast and I had no idea what to do. I held him in my hands with tears streaming down my eyes and he said his last words ‘Macey, I love you so much’ as he took his last breath. It was a moment I will never ever forget. I looked up to see a boat speeding off, I didn’t see his face but I wish I did. I called the police and an ambulance and I had to drive the boat back to shore with dad on my lap. I was so close with my dad, we told each other everything. My mum struggled really badly with his death but I had to stay strong and look after my sister who couldn’t comprehend what was going on. At least I had Skylar, she is the only one other than my mum, who knows the whole story of his death. She was always there for me.
I feel a tear drop out of my eye as I remember my dad but I have to keep going.
“are you okay Mace?”
“yeah I’m fine, lets keep looking.” I brush the tear away from my eye and keep looking for the packet
I finally come across a draw so I open it and there is a packet of cigarettes that haven’t been opened so I pick it up and show Skylar
“bingo” I say and smile
I hear my mums keys raddling in the door, oh no….
“RUN!” I scream
we make it out just in time and I put the packet in my room under my pillow.
“hey mum!” I say panting from running around the house so much
“hi darling, how was your day?”
“it was good thanks” I say and smile to try and hide my nerves
“well that’s good, did you need anything?”
“well, uhmm, so, well, okay well me and Skylar got invited to this party tonight at Abby’s house, would we be able to go?”
“Abby? Umm well she is a little bit naughty isn’t she?”
“no she has changed, she is really good now! I swear” I lie but it’s the only way we can go
“well I guess so, I mean, you will have to keep contact with me okay”
“YES OF COURSE! EEEEPPP THANKS SO MUCH MUM!!!” I say squealing with Skylar
“EEEEEEEPP! LETS GET READY!” I say as Skylar and I run to my room.
