§ Chapter 1-The Invitation §
◊◊◊It's June and school has just ended, so you know what that means, right? It's finally Summer! And also, my favourite month of the year, pride month!! Oh, I'm so happy, all my friends are delighted and everything, in general, is perfect!
It was Friday; I woke up early, made coffee and sat by the lain porch of my house to continue working on my story. The morning was quiet until the doorbell rang. My mom called me from the kitchen and told me to go see who was it. By the time I got to the front door and opened it, I saw nobody... I was curious and confused. I double checked, but there was no-one there . I looked down and I found a mysterious black card on the doorstep. I closed the door and headed to the kitchen to tell my mother about it, but suddenly my phone rang.
It was my bestie calling...
– Hey Danny! Did you get it?
– Good morning, Jordan! Did I get what?
– A black card, duh... Did you find one on your doorstep?I went to my room, closed the door quietly...
– Uhm... yeah? Wait, how did you know about it?
– I got one too! Open it!
– Ok... I said and put down the phone to open the card. I first hesitated but then opened the card to see what was inside. It was colourful and had many flags painted, flags I didn't know, and flags I could recognize... It was a Pride card! Didn't expect that... An invitation ticket was also attached, probably for the entrance. I picked up the phone again.
– So? Tell me! What does it say?
– Okay... let me see."Hi!
You're invited to our Grand Pride Party!
Be yourself among other LGBTQ+ people over a night with a variety of songs-genres, drinks, and lots of fun! There's no certain dress code, but it would be preferable and fun to wear something colourful.

We hope to see you there! Best regards xx"– So? What do you say, Danny?
– I know what You are going to say, but I'll stop you right there.
– Ok... just come by my house and let's talk about it, alright?
– Ugh... fine. See you later!
– Bye! He said hanging up the phone.I dressed up in Beige Shorts and a Green Summer-floral T-shirt. Went to the kitchen to tell my mom I would go to my bestie's house. Reaching the front door, I put my sneakers on and then hit the road. Luckily my friend lived near so I was there in no time.
