Ambers P.O.V:
The bell had rung that was signaling that it was the end of the day which I was so glad.ITS FRIDAY! TGIF! I just got out of math class which is my last period. I know, sucks right? Anyway I was heading to my locker to gather my things when I heard a high pitched squeal from behind me. It was none other then my best friend since 4th grade Stacy.
"OH MY GOD!! GUESS WHAT!!" She squealed once again
"What is it?" I asked
"I just got invited to only the best high school party of the year!!" She said in excitement while jumping up and down
"That great I hope you have fun." I said seriously
"Wait there's more...I can bring a friend!! And that's you!" She said poking my shoulder
"No you can go without me." I said closing my locker and walking away
"No come on! Please!" She begged
"Stacy, you know how I feel about parties. There not safe. I don't want to come home half drunk tonight. And besides we're to young to drink and party. So count me out." I replied
"Come on Amber! Live a little. You don't have to drink it's your choice but this is the first popular party I have gotten invited to and I want my first experience to be with you my best friend." She said with puppy dog eyes
"No." I said sternly
"Please! Come on!" She begged once again
"No."
"PLEASEEEEEE!" She said rolling out the 'E' which was causing people to look at us
"Okay, okay ill go just stop...people are looking at us." I replied
"Yay! Come by my house at 6pm an we will get ready."
"Fine okay. Bye." I said walking away to my car
I got in my car turn the key and started to drive home. When I came up to the front of the house I noticed my dads car in the drive way. Huh he's home early. I got out of my car grabbed my things and made my way inside.
"Hey dad." I said setting my keys on the counter top and setting my bag aside
"Hey sweetheart. How was school?" He asked
"Well it was just school so it was normal.how was work? I see your home early." I replied sitting on the couch next to him
"Good. And yeah my boss had a family emergency so he said I can take the rest of the day off."he replied
"Cool. Umm dad?" I asked
"Yeah?"
"Can I go over to Stacy's house later?"
"Sure. What are you going to do?" He asked. I swallowed a lump in my throat at his words but quickly answered
"We're gonna just hang out. You know just a normal sleep over thing." I lied
"Okay that's fine."
"Yay! Thank you!" I said walking up to my room to get ready
I went up to my room and grabbed my small sized duffle bag. I packed everything I needed and plopped down on my bed. I rubbed my temples and sighed. Stacy is my best friend and I love her to death but she can be a pain, I don't really want to go to this party because bad things happen. Have you seen those high school parties in movies? There pretty bad. I looked over to the picture frame on my nightstand. It was a picture of me and my mom 3 years ago when I was 15. She also passed away when I was 15. She died from breast cancer. It was the worst thing that happened to me and my dad. We were broken. We both had a way to "solve" our issues but it never worked. He drank. And I cut. He didn't know though it was my secret. Stacy knew and she tried to get me to stop. It went on till I was about 16 or 17. I eventually stopped but I'm still depressed about it. I miss my mom. And so does my dad.
It's about 5:45 so I should start heading to her house now. I grabbed my bag and ran downstairs. I yelled my goodbyes to my dad and zoomed right to the car. I got in and drove down to Stacy's. I arrived and I pulled on the driveway to see Stacy sitting on her porch swing.
"Hey! Finally your here!" She screamed
"Yeah I'm here."
"Come on we need to get ready the party starts at 8pm" she said
"Okay"
We walked inside and went up to her room and he ran right to her closet as I sat on her bed.
"Okay so we need to pick out our outfits!" She said as I nodded
"Okay ill wear this..." She said holding up a red sleeveless dress that came to her mid thigh and would hug her curves
"And you will wear this." She said holding up a black dress that had straps about the length of a credit card that would come to my mid thigh as well that also hugged my curves
"Umm don't you think that's a little dressy?" I asked
"No all the girls wear dresses like these to parties." She replied and I nodded
"Come on put on your dress and I'll put on mine then we will do hair and makeup. Okay?" She said
"Okay." I replied getting up

After we were finally done we looked in the mirror. Stacy had her red dress on with black heals and red lipstick with her hair in perfect curls, she had the just right amount of makeup on.
"Wow Stacy you look awesome! All the boys are gonna drool pools over you!" I said
"We'll thanks. But I think boys will also be drooling pools over you!" She said pointing at me. I looked at myself in the mirror. I had my black dress on with black heels and my hair was perfectly strait, my makeup was done with cat eyes and I had some pink lip gloss on I also had some gold jewelry around both of my wrists.
"Why thank you!" I said
"No problem. We should start going now." She said. I nodded and we walked down stairs out the door.
(Skipping the car ride)
We pulled up to a house with booming music and beer bottles scattered across the ground. I guess we're here. Oh great.
