Mysteries of Riverwood

Chapter 59 :- Cheerful Chats and Enchanting Evenings

Alex slowly blinked awake in the warm light of the autumn morning. The sunlight streamed through his bedroom window, casting a soft glow across his room. For a moment, his body tensed, memories of recent events flashing through his mind. Then, slowly, his muscles relaxed, one by one, as he remembered: it was over.

"I can't believe it's actually over," he whispered to himself, a mix of disbelief and relief in his voice.

A giddy laugh escaped his lips, breaking the morning stillness. Just then, his phone buzzed, pulling him further into the present. He reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone, seeing a flurry of incoming text messages from his friends.

Andy:
Yooooo. What time r we meetin up again???

Kimmy:
Andy, get the basketballs out of your ears! Limo's stopping at your place at 7.

Ava:
Before ANYONE says ANYTHING, I will be wearing a dress. And I don't want to hear it.

Noah:
I was on the fence about coming but now I'm glad I didn't bail.

Ava:
WHAT DID I JUST SAY?!

Lily:
Aww, you guys stop it. This is going to be so fun!

Leo:
I am just glad Mrs. Morris lifted my suspension for a night.

Kimmy:
Alex, did you decide what you're wearing yet?

Alex:
Not yet. But it's gonna be fabulous. Trust me, all eyes are gonna be on me.

Andy:
This is gonna be such a sick night.

Noah:
After all the crap the last couple of weeks... Can you guys believe we actually made it to homecoming?

Alex:
Alice, Sofia, and Claire, you three are coming too, right?

Alice:
Of course! I don't wanna miss this at all with my old friends.

Sofia:
Same here. I'm coming too, just for the limo ride, though.

Claire:
I’m coming too.

Kevin:
Make sure you wear something nice, unlike Alvin over here who thinks black is the only color in the world.

Claire:
Shut up! Beanpole.

Kevin:
Okay, Claire, just promise me you won't wear anything that’ll make people think you’re going to a funeral.

Claire:
I promise, Kevin. As long as you promise not to wear something that makes people think you're the entertainment for a children’s party.

Kevin:
Deal. But if you do see any kids, make sure to tell them I’m their favorite clown's brother.

Claire:
Oh, don't worry. I'll tell them you're the clown who flunked out of clown college.

Sofia:
Can we all just agree not to end up in the worst-dressed section?

Alice:
Yes, please. I just want a nice, peaceful night.

Claire:
Peaceful, huh? With Kevin around? Good luck with that. I’m bringing earplugs.

Dwayne:
ATTENTION! Guys, I need some advice on clothing so everyone's eyes will be on me.

Alvin:
Come without clothes (naked), all eyes will be on you. ;)

Dwayne:
SHUT UP!

Andy:
Lol, Alvin with the bold suggestions as always!

Noah:
Dwayne, you always make a scene wherever we go, so no matter what, you're gonna grab everyone's attention either way.
