Dare Night

Chapter 2. The Party

"Pancakes!" was all I heard when suddenly a little boy was jumping up and down on my bed, waking from my dream about James Franco.

"Ugh," I moaned, "Let me guess, we are having pancakes for breakfast?"

"Yep, and there is someone at the door for you!" He yelled before running out of my room and then downstairs.

Someone was at the house for me? The only people that come to see me are the pizza delivery guy and Chinese take out. Also, I just woke up and probably look like a zombie but they are going to have to deal with it, whoever they are.

I dragged myself downstairs and found April eating pancakes with my family, "Hey," I yawned, "What are you doing here?"

"Having breakfast with your family," She said taking a bite of her hot cake, "Also, Kyro told me I'm his new sister now, so you should have your stuff out by the end of the day, because I'm taking your room."

"Thanks for the love, Ky," I bit into a pancake, "C'mon, lets got to my room."

"It was nice meeting you April," My mom said, "You'll get your check by the end of the month."

"The job still pays $10 an hour right, cause I'm not going to pretend to be her friend for any less."

My dad laughed, "I like her."

We made it to my room, "Your family is so cool," April said sitting on my bed.

I walked into my bathroom and splashed some water on my face, "Yeah, they are." I pulled my hair into a messy bun and threw on some mascara so at least I would look like a pretty zombie this morning.

"So I heard about this party tonight. At some guy Tyler's house. Do you wanna go?"

I walked out from the bathroom, brushing my teeth, "Yeah, no." I mumbled.

"What, why?"

I waited till I rinsed my mouth to answer, "Because Tyler is dating Kya and Kya is best friends with Lauren and those are the girls who hate me."

"But it would be fun. And you wouldn't even have to talk to them."

"But they will try and talk to me. By talk I mean call me whore."

"Well, if they do, I will punch them in the face. Please I really wanna go," She said sticking her bottom lip out.

"I'll think about it," I threw on my jacket, "But I'm not making any promises."

We eventually got to school after talking about what April should wear to the party tonight and me saying I'm probably not going, but April was positive about the situation, thinking I would come around.

I had a meeting with the guidance counselor, Mr. Santino. He was a pretty cool guy. He didn't mind if we talked shit about the other students and he didn't care if we cussed in front of him. He said it was a way for everyone to feel comfortable around him.

I knocked on his door, "Hey, Reese," He motioned for me to come in, "Have a seat." I did as I was told, "So how are things since the last time we've talked."

"Oh you know," I started, "The same old shit. Lauren and Kya still hate me. Everyone still stares at me like I'm some different life form."

He just nodded his head, as he listened.

"Also, Sonic isn't my only friend anymore, I made a new one."

"Oh really, who?"

"April, she's new here."

"Oh yes the new student. I haven't met her yet, I should call her in to talk to her today."

"Yeah, she's pretty cool. And she doesn't mind that the whole student body hates me."
