Something I Want

Chapter 31.

After Wednesday's party, I still feel bad until today. That depressing atmosphere, I don't know where it came from, is about to finish me off. The situation is corrected by the call of the last lesson. And the week is over.

Taking the history textbook in my arms, I put it in my backpack and without waiting for anything, I rush through the corridors to the locker. After taking out all the textbooks from the cupboard, I also put them in my backpack.

- Grace! - I hear my name and turn my head towards the shout.

I smile at Jesy and she runs to me.

- I really want you to come to my birthday, - she smiles at me.

- Oh, when is he? - I close my locker.

- Today, - she holds out the envelope - everything is written here.

I take the red envelope from her hands and look at her.

-I just told myself that I have enough parties, - I chuckled.

- Ah, it will only be a girls' meeting! No guys and strong alcohol. We will give you a glass of juice, - she waved her hand.

- Okay, I'll be there, - I throw my backpack over my shoulder.

- Great! We'll meet, she winks and leaves me.

I look at the envelope and sigh, I go outside the school.

My mother's car is parked in the parking lot.

- Hello, mother, - after opening the door and getting into the car, I greet her.

- Hello, dear, - she smiles weakly at me.

- How are you? - I patted her shoulder.

-What will happen will happen, but everything will be fine, -she sighs deeply and we leave the school.

- Could you take me to the store? In the evening, I have to go to my friend's birthday, - I am studying in an envelope.

She nods and I fasten my seat belt.

With simple make-up and the simplest hairstyle, I have been standing at the wardrobe for fifteen minutes. I have no idea how to dress.

- Grace! Are you ready?! - exclaims the mother.

- Immediately! - I grab a black skirt and a gray sweater.

I dress quickly and carefully. I put tights on my bare legs. I grab my handkerchief from the bed and turn off the light, I go downstairs. I put on black high heels and a coat in the corridor. Mother enters the house and looks at me.

-You always dress up like a slut for parties, but now you look like a beautiful and cute girl, -she smiles.

I close my eyes and look at her.

-Ready to meet Ian?

She closes her eyes, inhales air and nods.

- Yes. Come on, let's go. I don't want to be late, - she takes her purse.

-Gifts in the car?- I grab my palm.

She nods again and we leave the house.

I get out of my mother's car and take a bouquet of roses and a gift bag in my hands.

- Have fun, - mom.

I wink at her and slam the door. I'll go home soon. Before I could even ring the doorbell, it opened.

- You came! Jesy exclaims.

-Happy birthday to you!

I shout and we hug. I give her gifts, although she assures me that it was not necessary. She waits for me to undress and we enter the living room.

- Grace! Perrie and Leigh exclaim.

They stand up and hug me. It makes me laugh and we all laugh.

- Just ours? - I'm confused.

- Only the closest ones, - Jesy nods and hands me a glass of juice, while they take champagne glasses.

- Already Jesy, - Leigh.

We clink glasses and have drinks.

The evening goes happily. We talked about various topics, ate pizza and sweets, played board games, danced and sang. I felt like a little girl and it was wonderful because I felt it now. I felt what it feels like to have a real girlfriend. Ah, if only they had been next to me all my life.

-The taxi is here!–Perrie.

There is a stir. We all put on our coats and run out of the house.

Yes. We planned to spend Friday evening in the city. In the taxi car, we sing loudly to the songs playing on the radio and because of our good mood, the taxi driver gave us a discount.

-What are we doing? -I laugh as I get out of the taxi.

-Surprise! - exclaims Leigh - follow me.

We follow the fast walking Leigh and even Perrie doesn't understand where she is leading us. But when loud music reaches our ears, we understand. Open disco. Jesy gets confused and runs into a crowd of people. Perrie pushes me too, so I have to dance too.

After a few dances, we run to the attractions. We visit the Ferris wheel, the merry-go-round and the seesaw. Our next step was KFC, because we got hungry quickly.

I open the door and the girls bow to me and enter the restaurant. But we stop and I reach for the door handle so we can leave. The skirts are not.

Such a large line of people.

- I'm sorry! - I gather, and people and girls look at me - Here is a girl whose birthday is today. Can you let us go and not spoil her wonderful day?!

Everyone leaves the cash register approvingly and we stand at the cash register in thanks.

- You are amazing! - exclaims Perrie when we leave KFC.

However, we are forced to stop again and the cup with cola falls out of Jesy's hands. I take a breath and look at Niall, Eliot and the unseen guys standing in front of us. This was all it took to ruin the whole evening.
