**Fast forward to after the last class of the day..
~~Dylan P.O.V~~
I was walking out of my last class to go to my locker. While opening my locker to get my books, I heard Jakes voice talking to some other guys. I turned around and seen him giving some papers to some people and they started to walk away, some stapling the flyers around the school walls.
Suddenly his girlfriend Tiffany came in the picture. She gave me a death glare and started to kiss Jake.
I turned back around and closed my locker, & went home.
~~~
I opened the door and no one was home yet. The house is as I left it this morning... I swear these people can be pigs.
After I was finished washing the dishes, and while I got the rag to clean the table I heard my sister walk in, speaking very loudly on the phone.
"Hey sis, how was your day?" I smiled, now while wiping the end of the table.
"Dude, can you just shut up and clean?" She asked annoyed.
I heard her talking on the phone, every word she was saying, I kept drowning out until I heard the name Jake...
It's as if my brain automatically told me to slow down and pay attention, but of course I tried not to make it too obvious I was listening in on her conversation.
"Omg I HAVE to go!!" She shrieked. "Do you think he'll fall in love with me???" She asked her friend she was on the phone with.
I couldn't quite put my finger on what she was talking about though. Anything that involves Jake would be interesting to me haha. I've always had a crush on Jake, knowing whatever goes on in my head, with me & him would never happen.
I got snapped out of my thoughts when she left the kitchen. I seen she left one of those purple flyers on the table where she stood... I looked at the stairs and my surroundings to see if she was still there, luckily she went to her room I presume.
I quickly walked to the spot where she stood and picked it up.
"MASQUERADE PARTY"
It read. I guess it's a party Jake is throwing? Of course he invited my sister Asia. She's one of the most popular girls in school. Also my brother James. I just KNOW he got a flyer. Why didn't I get one? Oh yeah almost forgot, I have no friends over there except for my guidance counselor... And I don't think it's actually a genuine one..
I heard the front door open and thankfully I was done cleaning, so I briefly put everything back & went to my attic. I closed the door and started on the homework.
~~Jake P.O.V~~
"Tiffany can you do me a favor?" I asked
"Sure babe, what is it?" Her face beamed up.. As if I was about to ask her to do THAT kind of favor..
"Can you give Dylan an invite?" I finally remembered his name. I smiled.
When I asked her that question, she looked lost. And very confused.
"Why would you want to give HIM an invite??? Out of everyone?" She questioned me with a digested look...
I get that he's gay but damn. This hate that everyone has against him is unreal! I won't say I didn't act a bit mean to him today, because that would be a lie..
"Baby chill" I turned her around, hugged her from behind and kisser her cheek.
"He's just my science partner and my teacher told me I had to, because he was such a loser and an outcast. And if I didn't at least INVITE him, I'd fail." I clearly lied, but she didn't catch it.
"Okay Jake. I'll give him an invite." I hope she doesn't try pull anything on me or him.. I just don't know what it is about him but damn. His eyes. Those eyes are ones I can never forget in a million years. I'd never forgive myself if I DIDN'T invite him. I still pray he comes.
*** Fast forward to next day
~~ Dylan's P.O.V~~
I was walking to my third period class, then I heard someone calling my name behind me... I ignored it at first because no one really calls me by my name here.
Until I heard it again, so I just had to look back, and when I did it was Tiffany...... I was baffled. Then she finally caught up to me. Great. (sarcasm)
"Look fag, my boyfriend said he has to invite you to his party this Saturday because his science teacher told him to... So here." She was handing me the envelope
"Wait... Mrs.white never-" "Bitch can you just take it?!???" My heart jumped a little. Okay. I responded... I looked at her perfectly manicured nails, and took the invite from her. She bumped me & walked away.
"Thank you!" I yelled to her. Wow.. How nice of Jake to invite me. But the question is, WHY would HE invite ME ? I hope they're not going to pull some prank on me. That would be just rude...
I finally made got to my class and I sat down. While Mr.jones was talking I was staring at the envelope with the invite of a lifetime to my first and maybe last party invite.
I opened it quietly and took it out. It looked exactly like how my sisters looked. It read: MASQUERADE BALL!!!
The same as my sisters and brothers said.
"Dylan Masters!" Mr.Jones scared me right out of my thoughts with his alarming shout from the front of the class. Which made everyone look at me.. I heard some people start to whisper "how did HE get an invite?" And "I guess it's a party where you can invite losers too lol". Some girl said "awe, Jake even invited the mentally challenged too?? He's 10x hotter."
I quickly folded the flyer and put it back in the envelope. Mentally challenged ? Seriously? I rolled my eyes
~~~ End Of Day~~
I was singing on my way back home and skipping! I was just so happy I finally got invited somewhere! I can't wait to tell my parents. Oh I almost forgot! I had to go volunteer at Ms.Stevens' store. She was a kind middle aged woman who was a seamstress & did dry cleaning. I always texted or called her when I was going through stuff. She was like a best friend I never had!
"Good Afternoon, Ms.Stevens" I smiled. She looked at me through the mirror that was on the wall in front of her.
"Hello Dylan! How are you?" She looked down to finish the mending she was doing before.
"Today was amazing! I got invited to a party" I told her, in my very excited & confident tone. She got up from the table she was sitting and came to give me a hug.
"Dylan that's amazing!! You're growing up!" I simply smiled, while she was squeezing my two cheeks.
"Okay well today I need you to just fix the clothes and put them in their proper hampers and then iron." She stated while walking back to finish the mending...
"Okay ma'am."
After I was done with everything she payed me.
"Oh no ma'am, I cannot have you keep paying me. I am a VOLUNTEER" I stated giving her back the cash.
"Son if you don't take this money..." She gave me a stern look. I really doubt I wanted to see what would happen if I didn't... It's like we have this conversation every time I came here!
"Thank you Ms.Jones." I took the money and went on my way home.
I walked up the driveway to the front door. And unlocked it. I went to the living room, where they all were..
"Hello everyone, I just wanted to say I got invited to the party!!" I told them. James was on his phone. Father was watching sports. The only two people who were paying attention were mother and sister.
"What????" Asia said. "What they hell you mean, you were invited to Jake's party??" She asked me with the look of surprise all over her pale face.
"Yes!! I know right?" I got excited that she got excited too. But I was way wrong.
"You're not going! I'll rip up the invitation for you?" She gave me a look of pity.
"What do you mean I'm not going? The invitation is right here!" I accidentally yelled and James got up.. Ready to attack. I guess he WAS listening. And last time he assaulted me, father jumped in. Never had I ever had a beating so severe.
"I apologize for my tone. Please forgive me. But what do you mean I'm not going?" I questioned. My mother got up.
"You're just some stupid gay ass servant boy who I should've aborted when I had the chance. You are NOT going to that party. And that's final!" My mother declared.
"Me and Richard will be out of town, so we'll be leaving Friday. However. We'll be right back here by midnight on Saturday..." There goes my chance of going. What she said before weighed heavy on my chest.
"Well know if you left because Asia and James will be at the party. And if I hear word that you went to that party, no one will ever see or hear you again. Take that as you will. Now go to your room." She said that so quiet, it was loud. It resonated an repeated in my head...
"Yes mother." I went up to my attic. I laid on my bed and started thinking.. How long will I be going through this? No one deserves to be treated like this. Not even me...
I got up from my bed and went to see what clothes I had. I decided I WILL GO. whatever happens. Happens. At least I know that if I die, I'll die happily. I. AM. GOING!
