~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You see, I'm not really that kind of person who talks to people normally without me being a total dork and all.

I'm this socially awkward person that can't socialize with people without making an idiot out of me. With that being said, my mother here wanted me to go to Jenna's party, and I'm pretty sure that she knows how we hate each other's guts but still, she forces me to go.

How my mom knows you ask? Well there's this time when my parents threw a party for my brother's thirteenth birthday and family friends' were invited - and yes, Jenna's parents are very close to mine. But unfortunately, Jenna decided to pour lemon juice inside my shirt when I was playing with the dogs, we were fifteen back then and she's already been a bitch to me. Basically, my mom saw what happened and decided not to act like a crazy mom in front of Jenna's parents and instead she just acted like she didn't noticed it, still she didn't want Jenna to be around me since that day.

Anyways, back to present Lenox. As i said earlier, my mom's forcing me to attend Jenna's party. But of course I objected, yet she found a way to get me going and dress up for Jenna's stinking party. "Now, if you really want that new car, might as well go to that damn party." Right now I just really want to smack my mother's head; I really thought she would agree about me not going to that party. "Mother dearest, what if there's alcohol in that party, huh?" I asked shoving back the outfit back to her arms.

"No, I'm pretty sure that Jenna's parents wouldn't allow kids being intoxicated. Especially their daughter, and there'll be punch and other drinks I'm sure. Now go on and change." She replied placing the tiny skirt and crop top on my bed, I'm pretty sure that outfit won't cover my body at all. I will not wear that outfit in this kind of weather. I glared at my mother.

"Well, in this generation there's this thing called putting alcohol drinks into a bowl of punch, those drinks could be spiked. Now you don't want your own daughter to get drunk when she gets home would you?" I said letting her feel guilty.

"Fine, bring your own juice then." She said and walked out of my room but then she continues, "I called Zoe and she's coming to pick you up. I'm not taking no for an answer young lady." We will need to have a talk when I get home.

I made a muffled scream on my pillow, "You look totally pissed off." I looked up from my pillow and saw Zoe grinning like a mad man. "And you are so enjoying this." I replied glaring at her.

"Okay, before you pounce at me and strangle me with your own bare hands. I just want to tell you that Clinton will be there." She sat beside me wiggling her eyebrows. Obviously she's teasing me to come because Clinton Haynes may or may not be the guy I'm crushing on since I was in seventh grade. I met him when Jenna and her cohorts were teasing me about my fat thighs. Basically I was wearing my bathing suit since we were at the public swimming pool in our town. Clinton was kind of my Knight and Shining Armor when he pushed Jenna's cohorts into the pool. And for that, I was love struck. I don't know really. Stupid I know,

"So?" Zoe asked stretching the word.

"So what?" I replied cocking an eyebrow.

"Are you going? Because we're going to be late." After debating with myself on going to the party, I finally decided to go since I have nothing to do later on, even though I could just curl up in a ball and watch Netflix all night long. I took the clothes from my bed and went inside my en suite to get ready for the dreadful party.
