What if? || Duskwood

6.

It's been a week since I flew to Duskwood. Throughout this time, I lived with Jessy, which made us even more friends. Finally, I also had the opportunity to meet the rest of the group.Thanks to me, Phil was released from prison and thus there was going to be a huge party in Aurora.

We started getting ready around 7pm. We didn't want to stand out too much from the crowd, so we just wore black dresses finished with mesh. And I almost forgot: the group had no idea I was going to be there, so I was a bit anxious about their reaction.

-Polly! The taxi is waiting- Jessy announced as eight o'clock approached

- I'm coming! - I informed her and immediately went to the car.

After 5 minutes we were already there and we immediately heard loud music. We went inside and headed towards the window where our friends were already sitting.

-Who is this stranger?- Dan asked right away without taking his eyes off me.

-You don't recognize me?-A bit of a stupid question, because they didn't even know what I looked like.

Suddenly, everyone looked as if they had an epiphany.

-Poly?! It's impossible! - the girls squealed and then they threw themselves at me.

To my surprise, the group welcomed me very warmly and we immediately found a common language. I just felt wonderful there.

-I haven't had so much fun in a long time- I finally said- and I've never had such a great group of friends.

-Your health- Dan said and took another sip of his whiskey.

At this point, we were interrupted by Phil, who came on stage and announced karaoke time.

-Come on- I felt a tug on my hand and before I looked back I was already on stage.

-What are you doing?- I whispered reproachfully to the girl who was picking the song.

After a while, I gave in to her request because it was really hard to say no to her. Just a few seconds later we were singing "Give it up" from Victorious.
However, our performance was terribly uncomfortable for me. I felt eyes on me the whole time. I tried to find the source, but no one caught my attention.
Halfway through the song, I suddenly noticed a mysterious person in the corner. He was staring at me, but I couldn't recognize him because he was wearing a hood.
