A friend to remember

32: Sneaking out to Armstrong party.

****
Denise followed Daniella, she hated the fact that her mother was forcing Denise to follow Daniella to the alleged sleepover.

"Denise!" Daniella screamed from down her stairs. "You need to come downstairs!" she screamed. Denise stared at her from above the stairs. She didn't like the fact that she was going to be forced to be with Daniella all night.

She walked down the stairs when she got downstairs, Daniella glared at her, but Denise decided to ignore her. Shelia walked out of the room, she smiled at them, while they stood side by side.

"Denise, Daniella!" she smiled happily. "Do you still want to go to church on Sunday?"

Denise nodded eagerly, she didn't want to go to that party but then again, she didn't know why she wasn't speaking up that Daniella was sneaking up to a party.

"Well, go on, I will call Vivian's parents," she grinned. She turned away from them and waved them off. Denise took reluctant steps out of the room.

The car was waiting for them already, Daniella had her box already in the car, so she jumped into the car and turned to Denise who was staring at the car, she didn't like what was going on but her mother wasn't going to hear her.

"Denise, are you going to come in?" Denise sighed and entered the car. "For the record, I am not happy that you are following me, but thank you for not telling on me."

Denise frowned, she turned to Daniella, who was staring at her, what did expect her to say? She turned away.

They sat in silence as they left their estate, into Vivian's estate wasn't too far. Denise placed her head on the side of the car's window, staring outside the car. Denise's mind went back to Cynthia, she had only met her for one week and a lot had happened. She wondered why she reacted that way.

Daniella's phone suddenly rang and it sprang open, Denise glanced at her as she started talking to Vivian. The car suddenly slowed down in another estate gate. This one was as massive as their gate and was painted in gold instead of white. The security opened the gate for them, and Daniella at him.

She continued gawking as the car moved through the neat and pristine estate. It was massive and beautiful. Vivian and Ashley were living on the same estate with some of their other classmates and schoolmates.

The car suddenly slowed down in front of a large mansion, similar to the one they had seen all around the estate, the golden gates opened, automatically and the driver drove into the compound.

Daniella sighed and removed her seatbelt. She opened her door, noticing that Vivianne was already there, waiting with Ashley, Denise removed her seat belt and followed suit.

"Hi, babes!" Daniella hugged them, and Denise stood behind her, watching them interact. "Hi," Vivian smiled at Denise making Daniella frown. She had forgotten Denise was standing there, right behind her.

"Hello," Denise waved back at her. "She's coming?" Ashley asked, glancing at Daniella. "Yeah," Daniella said, with disappointment on her face. "I am sorry about that, my mom forced me to bring her," Daniella finished.

Vivian and Ashley glanced at each other and nodded. "Did she call?" Daniella asked.

"Yeah, my aunty picked, everything is going well," Denise concluded that they must be talking about her mother.

"Common we need to start preparing," Denise didn't know if the decision she made was correct but she decided not to think about it too much.

Denise opened her phone and glanced at her text with Cynthia, she had collected her number since Monday, and they had been texting continuously.
