（╹◡╹） kora's POV（╹◡╹）
————————————

I hang up the phone and grab some paper to write down what I need for the party tomorrow night...

I look over my list and realize I got some shopping to do +uhhh what a pain but it'll be worth it+

I grab my car keys and drive to the dollar store
Yeah I know may be cheap but it has literally everything.

I enter the store and grab a cart, I head over to party isle and look through the balloon section first.

+it's gonna be rlly difficult to keep blowing up the balloons by mouth that will just take forever and to have them be broken by the end of the night?!+

I grab a balloon blower and a bunch of balloons putting them into my cart before catching movement in the corner of my eye.

+Fucking Kaleb?! At this time in a dollar store of course what amazing timing I have, let's just try our best to avoid him+

Before being able to slowly move down the isle for some more decorations and confetti, I feel a strong presence right behind me.

I slowly turn around to look up and of course it's Kaleb I don't know who else I was suspecting it's always him.

I notice his eyes travelling to my shopping cart with a raised brow, "what are ya shopping for?" He says with an intrigued tone.

"And why do you need to know what I'm shopping for" I say sharply wanting this conversation to end already.

Kaleb looks at me amused of my response and leans in closer "I know your throwing a party tomorrow" he says holding up his phone to show the anonymous text message for a party at my house tomorrow

+damn pixie how the hell did you manage to get him to see the invite I know I said everyone but damn+

I glance at his phone nervously and sigh relaxing my shoulders

"Yeah anyone can come I expect to NOT see you there" I say coldly before getting back to grabbing a shit ton of confetti and head to the cash register.

I feel his eyes follow me to the register giving me chills down my spine, I finally pay for my stuff and head back to my car with an arm full of decorations.

Getting home I rush inside with the decorations and start setting things up waiting for pixie to show up and help me I decide to put on some music to make the setting up more fun.
