Saturday morning I woke up with a huge headache. Trying to understand what this invitation was last night was like trying to find the solution to a chinese puzzle.
I got up at 10am and put my slippers on. I went downstairs to get my breakfast and fuound my mum correcting students' homework my dad watching the news on tv and Charlie was playing with his toys in right next to my dad, on the floor.
"Good morning" I said
"G'morning Cass" said my dad, still staring at the screen
"Hey sweetie" replied my mother
They were all busy as usual, wether it was work or fun. I emptied the cereal box and poured it in my bowl with some milk, and ate it. I soon went back up to my bedroom and got dressed. I then decided to go on the pc and enter my Facebook account. "2 notifications. 0 messages. 1 friend request."
1 friend request? I clicked on the friend request section and saw the name "Felicia Simone" pop-up. Felicia?? My heart started thumping even louder. I didn't understand why all of a sudden she was interested in me. Or was it just one of her foolish plots? I decided to leave it as it was, but to consult her page.
Felicia Simone: Birthday: 13th March 1997, Relationship status: Single, Goes to: Winston Chester's High, etc... Her page was loaded with pictures of her, Nina and Sarah (obviously) but also of their parties with Jeremy, Paul, Will, Chris, Sam and other boys and girls that seemed to be from 10th grade. "haha wat a gr8 partyyy guys! nice booze nice girls everything to make a happy man ;p" was a comment from Jeremy on one of the pictures. Booze? That's probably what they call their coke. Pathetic! I logged out and closed my session off.
I worked on a load of homework until the clock turned 16:34. I prepared my sleepover bag and went off at ten-to.
"Bye mum i'm leaving now, see you tomorrow"
"Okay sweetie, do you need picking up?"
"No I think I'm alright i'll walk back, i'll be here at about 12h, I'll call you if there's any trouble"
I grabbed my cellphone from the bar and started walking towards Cece's house.
"Hey Cass!!" squealed Cece when she opened the front door, Chloe was behind "Hey man!"
I gave them a hug and walked up to her room.
We all sat on her bed and started talking, there was so much we needed to catch up with.
"Okay guys, you know how I have this really omg thing to tell you, right?" started Cece.
"Yeah! Tell us!" precipitated Chloe
"Well um, I was talking to Bailey, you know Sarah's biology partner, and she told me that Felicia, Jeremy, Sam, Nina, and Sarah and loads of other people have started..."
She looked at us with big eyes.
"Since 6th grade they've all started smoking and drinking..."
A feeling of shiver came down my spine. What?
"Pff, that can't be true..." said Chloe.
"Well what do you know? Bailey told me! She's really close to Sarah, and come on, you never know with these people..."
"Wow." I whispered, astonished.
"Yeah wow! I mean, you could be right..."
"Well guys..., suddenly Cece opened up her eyes, oh my gosh, this is why they always eat outside!"
"Oh yeah... Damn!" I whispered. My head was filled with curiosity.
"Anyway, for the moment, I think we should just think that they don't smoke, and if they do well poo. It's their stupid fault, hey?" said Chloe.
"Yeah you're right! But seriously, I would like never smoke" said Cece
"Me neither!" chorused Chloe and I.
"They probably also do that at parties." said Chloe.
Suddenly, I thought about Felicia's invitation, the little piece of paper, which was still in my jeans' pocket, Felicia's look and that sentence "Do you still wanna be a little nobody?". Smoking? Is that what we'd be doing?
"Cass are you okay? You just like blanked out" said Cece.
"Yeah, yeah. I'm fine."
"Okay well... Who's hungryyyyy? I got loads of snacks!"
We all went to the kitchen. My headache was bound to get worse now.
