Closed Eyes

Closed Eyes [21]

Next Friday

"Delivery, delivery for Kylie Henderson!" A voice called in the bustling hallways.

A red haired girl with gold sunglasses and a pink juicy sweatsuit came up to me with a giant card that was up to Olivia's full size.

"Olivia?"

She lifted her glasses with a grin. "Yep, from anonymous."

"Okay..." As soon as I grabbed it, she raced down the stairs.

I opened it up slowly.

"Happy Birthday, Kylie!" Screamed the card, springing confetti from it.

"Happy birthday!" Some kids told me when they heard the 'card'.

"Thanks." I totally forgot it was my birthday! Geez...

By time it was lunch, I had gotten a birthday pin, a pencil, three mini stuffed animals, and a thousand 'Happy Birthday!" sayings.

"Happy 17th Birthday." Anna exclaimed. It was a surprise she didn't drop out of school. She had a tiny bump.

"Thanks, how'd you know?"

"Briana. She was the one who sent you that card-ish thing." She pranced away to sit down.

So it was Briana...

"Tell her I said thank you!" I shouted.

Anna stopped mid-step. She smile-nodded in my direction.

Friday - Home

"Happy birthday sweetie." My mom wrapped me in a hug just as I was closing the door. "Sorry I couldn't tell you this morning."

"It's okay mom. You had a meeting, it's fine." I mumbled.

She sighed dramatically. "For your present from me, you can have a party tonight."

"Un-supervised?" I asked in surprised.

"Uh huh." Mom nodded excitedly.

"How will everyone know?"

"Tell Briana, she knows everyone, right?"

I shrugged. I forgot to tell my mom we aren't speaking anymore...

"Ah, don't worry. I'll call her for you. You're so excited you can't speak." She concluded and walked into the kitchen.

"Briana! It's Nicole. Kylie's having an un-supervised party." She winked at me when she said unsupervised. "Could you invite all the people from your school to her house."

There was a pause. "Thanks Briana! Are you coming, too?"

Another pause..."Cool, I won't see you there but, make sure Kylie doesn't get herself drunk." She laughed loudly. "Kay. Bye!"

Friday - 9 PM (A new perspective: Meredith)

It wasn't even midnight, and Kylie had gotten drunk.

Sure Briana promised Kylie's mom to make sure she was sober through the whole night, but Briana wasn't the responsible type. At least to me she wasn't...

The two were dancing on a table while a group of perverts watched them hold their beers in the air.

I didn't like beer. It reeked.

"Meredith, join us!" Briana shrieked, totally oblivious to the guys around them.

"No thanks, whore!" I shouted over the music.
