A friend to remember

16: Party and celebration.

****
Daniella walked into the dining room, on the eve of the party. She sat across from her mother who was discussing something with Denise before she entered. She hated it! She hated seeing her mother so happy and knowing that Denise was the cause of it.

Denise on the other hand seemed to be doing well. She had a ton of new followers on her social media account and the internet was eating it up. They started gravitating toward her which annoyed Daniella all the more. First her parents, now the entire world? It felt like she could not just catch a break.

"Mummy I am going to school tomorrow." Daniella finally announced. Sheila turned to her with confusion. Daniella could not stand all the attention Denise was getting. It was always so upsetting.

"What are you talking about? We have a party you are supposed to host tomorrow, did you forget that?" Sheila pointed out. Daniella clenched her jaw, of course, her mom would remind her.

"I don't think my presence would be important there, after all, you will have your precious daughter there." Daniella sneered at the last part. "Don't start that bullshit please Ella! You put us in the first place. Nobody asked you to do that and now we have to deal with what you have done! Do you think I want to be throwing a party? Do you think I am happy about what is happening?!"

Daniella's mouth opened, she tried to speak but Sheila raised her hand to stop her. She was sick of Daniella always acting like a spoilt brat, they had given her the best of the best so that she could have the life she wanted but Sheila was considering she made a mistake.

"Besides, your dad and I are still considering what to do with Denise's education." Daniella and Denise's mouth opened. "Considering? What do you mean by that?" Daniella narrowed her eyes. She suspected what her parents were discussing but she did not think it was going to happen. Denise was going to another school so Daniella thought there was no way they were going to transfer her to her school.

"We were thinking that it would be better if Denise started anew in Bellrich." Daniella's eyes widened.

"What?! What are you saying? You are telling me you want Denise to come to Bellrich?!" Daniella yelled. "Do not scream at me, Ella!" Sheila snapped. Denise was not sure she had a choice in the matter.

"Denise is already going to a school, I don't think it smart to change it." Daniella continued. "Well too bad because nobody asked for your opinion."

Her mouth opened, her mother was not going to change her mind, she knew her well. She turned to Denise, who was looking at her hands.

"Denise, do you want to change your school?" Denise looked up. "Ella stopped it." Sheila scolded.

"Mummy please don't do this! I am already suffering in this house and now she will be in school too?" Denise looked up and narrowed her eyes.

"Can you shut it!" Sheila snapped. She was done with the bullshit. Daniella turned to Sheila, she was not happy with what was happening and it was out of control.

"Mummy..." Daniella called a strain in her voice. Sheila stood up, groaning, it was getting so annoying to be around Denise. She stood up and walked away.

"Mummy please wait, we need to talk about this! You cannot just make that their of decision without considering..."

"What?" Sheila turned to her and snapped. "What the hell is your problem Daniella? Why the hell are so interested in where Denise goes to? Can you just shut it and leave me alone?" Daniella's mouth opened. She stood there, wondering what to do.
