THE A LISTERS

Chapter 4: Typical Elite Parties

“Well how did it go?” asked my mom stretching as she finish her yoga routine.

“Mmmm… it was good mom, I met the principal and all that, its not like anybody doubted me getting into triton! or the others, its like they have reservations for us!” I said finishing up my orange pulp juice.

“Nia, you’re just going to have to trust your father and I, baby we have your best interest at heart.” She said as she walked up and stroked my hair.

“Yes, I know.” I said leaning into her palm as she stroked my face. “I know” I mumbled into it.

“I’m going out tonight. Some guy call Jason Parker is hosting a party, he’s real good buddies with Ezra. “I said to my mother.

“Okay, well don’t be too late okay, even if u are stay over at Klara’s. I dont want you driving too late” she said as she walked towards the backyard to drink her usual cup of tea.

 "Umm I think Ezra is coming to get us" i said and she responded by waving the back of her hand.

Ugh. Now I had to decide what to wear. I decided to text Ashley.

Miss stylist, can you spare some time and come home. Drowning in this sea of clothes. Please?

I sat there playing with the remains of the juice.

“What’s wrong miss Nia? Didn’t like triton?” asked Berta as she got out a heavy pile of laundry.

“No Berta, that’s not it. I don’t know why, I just don’t want to go out, I just have this uneasy feeling in my tummy.”

“Oh miss Nia. I'm sure it will be ok.” She said as she put away my glass. Just then my phone vibrated.

Hey N sorry! Can’t make it! Mum needs help at the store. See you tonight though; just go through the back of the closet. I think we put the new clothes there. You will be fine.

I let out a loud sigh and put my head on the cool slab.

The bell rang and Berta went to answer the door. “I knew you would sit here and mope.” said Klara as she walked in with her hair swishing behind her. She stood there looking at me disapprovingly and “tsk” a lot.

“Get up. You disgust me. Stop being such a little bitch and get up!” she whined. “I am having such a good day and I am not about to let you ruin it with your behavior. Get up! Stop it. I want to wear my boots today and drink the night away, besides you never know what company we may find… come on Nia stop being so stingy and get up. Lets just dress up, chill out and have FUN!”

“AGH!!!” I said pissed with her whiney yet happy tone. “Fine! I can’t believe this whiney nonsense is working!” I said pushing myself off the chair and walking up towards my room.

“I know! I can’t wait to wear my boots!” she squealed as she ran up.

“So I think ill go with the blue tube Valentino,” she said biting her lip. “That with the silver Manola Blahnik shoes and the Cartier set you bought this summer. It doesn’t require earrings.”

“OK. What ever.” I said as I put my hair into a messy braid bun.

“I’m wearing this sexy Gucci dress I bought! Finally I get to wear this black beauty.” She said admiring her dress. I had to admit there was something so sexy about that black piece of fabric.

“KNOCK KNOCK, you girls decent!” asked Ezra and Oliver. I walked out of the closet to see them standing at my door. “Yeah, kind of, well enter at your own risk” I said with my best deep voice imitation.
