6 | The Party Part One

     I stare at the glass mirror which reflected what I looked like, and for the first time in a while, I was happy with what I saw. My bright blue eyes gleaming back at me happily as I felt confident in my outfit.

    Before me stood a girl wearing a white dress with long sleeves, a golden necklace and black boots that were only ankle length. The dress was open from the neck to the centre of my chest, criss-crossing over my cleavage (which I barely even had) like laces on a shoe. It was tight and hugged every small curve, leaving my body looking nicer than usual.

    I was proud of my friends for their choice in clothing. I thought the dress would look slutty, and just plain stupid on me. Instead, it looked elegant but modern, working nicely with my naturally tanned skin tone.

    My very long black hair was placed into loose curls that fell around my waist perfectly and my makeup was subtle yet more than I was used to wearing. Usually I couldn't be bothered wearing it, it was too much effort to put on.

    But I felt beautiful, and for the first time I looked beautiful.

    I was in Amy's house, sitting on the bed in her room. Both her and Em went downstairs to get the party started and Em planned on collecting me when she felt it was full enough so I could make a "grand entrance."

    My best friends were total drama queens.

     At first I hated the idea of a birthday party, but as the week went on I grew excited for it only because of my friends. Who clearly proved that they loved me very deeply by organizing the entire thing.

    Every day leading up to the party was stranger than usual. Monday, my boyfriend got knocked out by Hunter, but I'm pretty sure everyone in the school already knew that.

    Tuesday, Hunter didn't come in and I felt really sick for unknown reason, it never really went
away - I just started to deal with it as I felt my stomach move around and make strange noises. Was probably just early cramps.

   Wednesday, Em started acting strange and then yesterday I caught Hunter smiling at me, grinning with the perfect teeth that he had. I had to admit, it sent butterflies up and down my stomach but he beat up my boyfriend. Whatever he was trying to do, clearly wasn't going to work on me.

    I could hear the music from downstairs and could feel the bass hitting my feet. Em had paid for a DJ who was from the next town over, which happened to be very far away since Darkfall was quite isolated. Some Justin Bieber song was blasting very loudly, desperately making me want to dance - but I'd rather save that for the party.

    I could hear footsteps coming up the stairs, slowly continuing until the reached the door to Amy's beautiful bedroom. Honesty though, she could've ditched the barbie dolls that were stuffed in the corner. Only Amy, I laugh to myself .

    My birthday was tomorrow, which was why the party was tonight, they wanted everyone to be here at 00:00 when it became my birthday to celebrate. A bit like New Years Eve of some sorts.

    "Ready to go birthday girl?" Em speaks in a funny voice, opening up the door to collect me with a large smile on her face. Maybe it was me but her smile looked forced. And before we leave I quickly glance over at the clock which read a simple 8pm.

    "Let's go." I smile, standing up to take her hand. She walks me down the stairs to a huge crowd that were all drinking and dancing, some more inappropriate that others. Amy promised not to serve alcohol, she was a goody-to-shoes. But that didn't stop everyone else from bringing their own.
