Do you know that feeling that tells you shouldn't be going something because you know you're not supposed to be doing it? I had that feeling today when I was at a party with Ashley, my best friend. It was the house party of this guy Ashley had being crushing on. The main reason she went there and dragged me along with her was because of this guy. Don't get me wrong, I kind of get why she really likes him. He's cute and has this really cool English accent like it's his home language or like he lives in England and he's got gorgeous eyes. But did she really have to go to a party just for some guy who barely knows she exist just to notice her? And not to mention about dragging me along with her, making me to be late for my curfew ( I know it's ridiculous that a sixteen year old girl like me has a curfew) and get punished with double chores for not obeying strict orders like to never go to some random school party at some random strangers house, at least until I am eighteen. With parents like mine, who are too strict, overprotective, and take too long to realize that you aren't a little girl anymore ( although they call it being good parents) you'll never get to do the normal teenage stuff like going to parties, going to sleepovers and most of all date, at least until you eighteen. I was at the party until I noticed my mom's car driving into the drive way of the house I was at. I had shivered with fright as I realized that my mom was about to get out of the car, with a very angry look, and probably yell or even worse, slap me in front of everyone. My life would surely be over and done with. How would I ever make it through high school? Ashley was still busy gazing and searching for any sign of Kari (Karabo) the guy she likes. For heavens sake like she was going to find him. Wherever he was he was probably busy hurdled up with a bunch of his rich friends like him or a hunch of rich want to be's. This boy is literally wanted my every girl at high school (Every gold digging girl hoes there was that is) But Ashley wasn't one of those gold digging hoes which made me question if she was really made to be with this dude she's so madly obsessed with. I nudged her right shoulder as my mom stepped out of her car, with an angry look (which wasn't surprising) I pointed to the window of the room we were in, where my mom could vividly be seen. How did she even find us? I just pray my bloody hell of an older brother didn't tell her, or he's gonna get what's coming for him. I told him where I was going to reassure him I was going to be fine since he kept on persisting for me to tell him. Plus he's pretty protective over me. This protectivenes has something to do with him having this notion that teenage girls die because of many reasons everyday like kidnapp, sexual abuse, diseases and molesting. Yep. He's pretty much like my parents. No different and always treating me like a kid. It took a lot from Ashley to convince him so she can drag me to this party. Ashley looked and saw that I was pointing at my mother. Right then, knowing the tremendous damage this would would have caused to my teenage life, she yanked me, running to the exit. The goal was to get out of the house before mom started asking people, yelling or rummaging for me but by the time we were out, my mom was already yelling my name right in front of everyone. When everyone saw me and Ashley get out, they started laughing. They obviously where laughing at the fact that my mom was at a party, yelling out my name, with a very furious expression. A flush of emnrassment lit up on my face. My life was over!

Just when I was having the greatest party of the century? Just when I thought I was going to be a legend? All this ruined by two stupid foolish nobody girls who weren't even supposed to be here. Now my whole party just instantly turned into a joke. There goes being the legend of coolness. Now I am more like the legend of flop. I can here foots steps from downstairs. I guess that's an indication of my parents' arrival. My mom opened the door and peered her head in my bedroom.
"How was the part?" She asked
I dont mean to brag, but my parents are of cause the most famous dance and movies stars there is. I inherited their talents and am too a talented dancer and actor, which is why I go to an art school. I am the richest kid in the whole town and not to mention the richest in the whole city. I get pretty much practically anything I ask for and most of the times without even having to beg.
"Horrible thanks to some no good nobodies." I slouch on my seat and let out a heavy breath.
"Well it'll all be better next time." Mom said with her annoying pampering tone "Where's your brother?"
"He went to a sleepover at his friends house." I replied
My little brother Ben is only twelve. He likes getting out of the house which I dont blame him for. I usually also got out of the house. But most of the times, a lot of friends come and hang out.

I am never going to school again! I dont care what my mom says. She's not even supposed to have a say in this since it's all her fault. I didn't even step foot out of the house today. Who could blame me? I am the laughing stock of the whole school. My life is over!
"You need to get out of bed, now!" Mom yelled from outside my bedroom door. She can't make me get up. Not when she ruined my life. Isn't it bad enough that she grounded me for a whole month, which means double chores, no having friends over or going out unless if it's school related, no watching TV, and no phone. "Zandane, I am serious. You need to start with your double chores!" She yelled.
On a Sunday? She can't be serious. I thought before my mom got inside my bedroom and open up the curtains letting the bright Sunday sun come in and yanked the blanket I was wearing causing it to uncover me.
"Get up. This is what you get for disobeying."
"Mother, it wasn't even my fault. It was Ashley's idea. I would never go to a party because frankly, I hate parties." I said. It was true though. If Ashley hadn't forced me, I would have never gone to that part. I guess I have to learn to be assertive.
"I don't care if it was you fault or not. The main issue is that you went at your own intention and disobeyed. Now I don't even think I can trust you any longer." Mom said "Get up now." She said before getting out of my room. She can't seriously not trust me because of one little mistake. I am a good kid. I mean I get good grades, I have never had a boyfriend, I have never misbehaved except for this one time and a few little other times, and I am a good sister to my little sister and big brother.

I feel so bad for Zandane. It was my fault, and because of a guy that doesn't even know I exist. I have had quite a few crushes before but I think this is a whole lot more extreame. And no I don't have a crush on Karabo because he's rich and cute. (Okay. Maybe the cuteness is part of it). Just who he is and how he talks and walks and behaves and how talented he is at dance and act and lot more. I have been tying to call Zandane but she isn't picking up. She's probabaly mad at me and ignoring my calls. I just hope she isn't mad at me on Monday when we go back to school. I don't want to lose our friendship over some stupid shitty crush. But no matter how had I try to forget about my crush I just can't . So maybe it might not be as stupid or shitty as it looks or sounds.

If you are a writer you should me able to come up with you own innovative ideas.
