This party is shit.
I know, I know. You're probably thinking, 'Nova, it's your birthday and you have so many gifts, cheer the fuck up' blah blah but if that was the whole point of it all, I'd be the happiest girl in the world.
I was dancing and drinking the whole evening and it's not even 10pm yet, but I'm so done.
I'd recommend testing gravity, preferably from extremely tall heights.
My feet hurt and my friends are nowhere to be seen, there's a pile of gifts at the far end of the room. And I haven't seen Theo in hours. I was seconds away from calling the party off and cry the feeling away.
Slipping into the bathroom, I take a deep breath and look into the mirror; messy, red hair, dirty makeup, I was a mess. The problem is, the party will go on till 3am whether I want it or not.
Something about it being my birthday made it worse? God forbid a girl wants to have fun on her birthday.
I step back into the party and spot curly hair; Serena. As if it couldn't get worse already. She's been here for an hour already but she's approaching me now.
"I don't remember inviting you." I squint my eyes at her.
"Cry about it." She rolls her eyes.
"I'd rather stab you."
"Fabulous." She smiled and looked around, "I think it's time everyone knew everything you've done."
"I," I step closer to her, "didn't do anything."
"You killed Simon!" Serena yelled, which turned heads, the music stopped playing and suddenly I was aware of the blood rushing in my ears.
"Can you stop saying that?!"
"Admit it."
My fists were balled now, any minute I was either going to punch her or break down.
"I'd rather kill myself than do that!" Brown hair appears in my peripheral vision, Theo.
"Nova?" He steps up to me, reaching out to my arm and made me look up at him, his eyes were filled with concern, "What's going on here?"
