The Story Of My Life

Chapter 16: The Party

Author's note: Thank you for all the reads and votes. Sorry if the chapters have been boring I'm still working on it and I have been drained of ideas because of my English class which makes me write a paper every week. Jk but it drains me from writing.

Also... Thank you for 400 reads! That means a lot and it may seem like little to other people but not to me. I appreciate everyone who has taken time to read and I hope there's more!

Anna's POV

I woke up pretty pissed because today's Saturday and that means the party I have to go to. I don't want to see any of the people that are going to be there. I look at my phone and I have a text from no other than Charlotte.

Charlotte: The party is at 8 you better be there you have people to meet. If you don't go I will post all the things.
8:00am

Sometimes I wish that I had chosen to move earlier. Who knows that in one year your life can change for the worst.

Flashback:
"Hey mom what was it that you wanted me home for immediately? I was working on something important so please hurry." I said putting my stuff down. I was mad at the moment because I had just come from one of my friends houses working on a very important project. "Well honey we need to have a talk." My mom said very seriously, "We have to move because of your dads job. We need a choice from you. We can wait to move until next year or we can move now. Either way we are moving." My feelings changed from agitated to full on rage,"What?! I don't want to move this isn't fair!!" I threw myself on my bed yelling and protesting on the move. "Honey! There is no way we can stop it! Just be lucky that you have a choice to stay one more year. If I was you I would take it." My mom said trying to calm me down. I came to my senses realizing what I thought meant nothing to the people that my dad works for. "I'll take it but you have to make it up to me." I said still agitated. "Fine, I will try to." My mom took me shopping the next day and I started to realize this was it. Over the summer I started getting angrier and angrier about it everyday until I went full on rebel.
End of flashback:

I decided that today would be a lazy day so I can chill and not be agitated about the party. I put on leggings and an oversized shirt. I made some food and watched Netflix. Then I made sure I didn't have any homework. It was five already and it was three hours to the dreaded party. I took a shower and took out he clothes I was going to wear. I may hate going to it but I always want to look good. I watched some more tv and cleaned up. Then I got a text.

Hannah: Hey are you going to do something later because I want someone to come to my hockey game. It may be my first one and really bad but I'd love some moral support!
6:30

Me: I can't I have to go to an appointment. I'm really sorry I really wish I could but I can't reschedule it.

Hannah: Ok cool. I think Emily's coming so it's fine.

I felt really bad for lying she's my best friend and I'm missing her hockey game. I was really mad about it now. Why did Charlotte need me to go that bad. Couldn't she have taken one of her other crazy friends. Why me? I looked at the clock and it was already 7:00. "Great time to actually get ready." I said to myself. I went to my room and got all my stuff. I straightened my hair first and then out on my makeup. I put on a lace crop top, ripped skinny jeans, and some light pink platform pumps with earrings and a necklace. It was 7:55 so I got in my car and headed to the party.

I got to the party and saw almost everyone I knew from last year. I went inside and sat down. Right when I sat down Charlotte came up to me with yet another guy. I'm not proud to say it but yes, I used to be a spitting image of her and what she did. The guy was no other than I guy I used to use. "Hey Anna you want to go dance or something?" He said. I looked in his eyes and I could tell he had different intentions. "No thanks I'm not feeling well." I said faking to feel bad. "Anna come with me I need you to talk to someone." Charlotte said. "No, why?" Charlotte grabbed my arm and swung me up obviously showing to be stronger than me. She took me to talk to several people and those people brought out my bad side.

The old me came out and it took me a long time to realize what I was doing and how I had changed. I didn't know what came over me but it's like something possessed me. Thank goodness I realized how I was. I left when Charlotte didn't see hoping she wouldn't do anything about it and would get wasted and forget completely about me. I went home and slept all day and my parents didn't question about what I did because my parents trusted me and were cool thank goodness. I woke up just to eat and watch tv. When it was finally time to actually go to bed I was really happy but at the same time sad because tomorrow was Monday and I realized I wasted my weekend over something dumb. I really wish I could have taken it back but I can't.
