Deanna was hosting a party. Some welcome crap for me and the others. I was not a fan but Rosita forced me to attend. You know what's even worse? Mrs Cook had given me a dress because she still had some clothes that her granddaughter used to wear. Ya know, before the end of the world. I hadn't worn a dress like ever so it was a very uncomfortable feeling as I stood in front of the floor length mirror in mine and Soph's room. Luckily, Mrs Cook had a dress for Sophia as well, so I wasn't the only one. Everyone around Alexandria had basically donated our group nicer clothes to wear and I hated it. I refused to wear the donated clothes because none  of them were my style anymore. Before the end of the world, I would have loved to dress in pink dresses and skirts...

Me nor Emily ever had birthday parties, and I didn't have any other friends. The closest I've come to going to a party is when me and Isabella would go over other Vipers houses and they'd drink and do drugs. Although, sometimes they'd come over our house as well, so-"

"Ellie." Sophia interrupted me.

"Yea?" 

"I was gonna say you look nice." She smiled.

I looked back to the mirror

I looked back to the mirror. "Oh."

She laughed. "Come on, we don't wanna be late."

"Yea, you're right." I nodded and we left the room together.

"I'll stay at the party for a little bit but at about eight I'm going to meet Enid behind the church." Sophia told me.

"Why there?" I questioned.
