"Come on Phoenix, you have to go!"
I cross my arms and shake my head.
"I'm not going, Kira. I'm too busy."
"But it's Cade's party! He's crazy rich and everyone is going! Our group can't be the only ones to not go!"
"She's right Nix. Everyone is going."
I frown at April.
"Everyone but us apparently."
I look at June from across the room.
"Since when do you care about parties?"
She shrugs. I sigh.
"Just go without me."
"Phoenix, you know we go everywhere together."
I look at Brooke who's braiding June's hair.
"Well, we can't always go everywhere together," I say back.
"This is a party though. It's different." Kira pouts.
I hear the door open and the boys walk in.
"Okay, we got Brooke's chips," Liam tosses the bag to her.
"April's muffin," he hands it to her.
"June's gummies," Sam tosses the bag to June.
"Kira's chocolate," James throws the bar at her face.
"Hey, watch where you're throwing dipshit!" she yells.
"Watch where your sitting!" James shouts back.
Kira rolls her eyes at her younger brother and opens her chocolate bar.
"And of course..." Liam rumages through the grocery bag.
"Nix's peach tea," everyone says in unision.
I roll my eyes and laugh, taking the bottle from Liam.
"I think you're addicted," Liam laughs as he sits next to me on my bed.
I shrug.
"I'm not ashamed of it."
I open the bottle and take a sip. Delicious, as always.
"So, we still talking about the party?" James asks, stealing a gummy from June.
She nudges his shoulder and he laughs.
"Yeah, Phoenix doesn't want to go." Brooke answers.
"It's not that I don't want to go. I just don't have time. I need to study and do homework."
"Ugh, you're always doing things for school. You need to let loose once in a while!" April hits my arm.
"Come on Phoenix. The entire school is going. We don't want to be the only ones to not go." Liam says.
"That's what I said!" Kira shouts.
I sigh and think about it for a moment. What's the worst that could happen?
"Fine," I groan.
"I'll go."
"Yay!" everyone cheers.
I roll my eyes and laugh.
"You guys are idiots."
THREE HOURS LATER
"So, what are you gonna wear?" April asks through the phone.
"I went to the mall with June earlier and we both got outfits."
