An untold story

Chapter 1 - Glowing

"Okay, see you soon," I say by meaning a goodbye after I got out from school. Summer vacations are over, and I just got back into school again, can't wait to get started *sarcasm on*.

*Beep* *beep* I hear my phone ringing. "Are you out already?" My mom asks.

"Yes, I'm coming home," I say as I look for my car keys into my navy blue purse.

"Drive safely," she says.

She doesn't think it was a good idea for my dad to give me a car since I just turned seventeen, but they never agree in anything, not even before they got divorced, but I was used to it.

They got divorced six years ago and it was too hard for me to accept it, it still is, but life goes on, they both have new relationships now.

*Beep* my phone again. "Hey criminal," I answer. It is my BF Paige, we met six years ago, at school, we could spend hours talking on the phone, we still can, but we don't do it that often anymore.

"Hi, where are you?... Wait, did you just called me a criminal?" She says as I let out a chuckle.

"Yes, because I've been looking for you as if you were one and I'm on my way home."

"Stop that!" She shouts, nearly making me crash into a tree, which makes me jump and bring a hand to my chest. "Party at Sean's!" she continues. Really? I almost died because of a party?

"What?!" I half asked, half yelled surprised, she isn't a party girl... At all. Neither am I. "You and party in the same sentence? not good at all!" I tease, laughing.

"That's exactly why I wanna go, I'm seventeen already, besides, my parents let me go," she says, her parents don't let her go out too much. I guess they're just scared or something plus Paige always needs to stay home babysitting her sisters and brothers. Poor Paige, she has like 100 siblings... Okay, not 100 they're just eight but still, you get my point.

"P, you know I don't like parties," I declined truthfully. I hate parties and I hate going to parties because I always end up pretending to be someone else, just to end up with the stereotypes.

"Me neither, but it's Sean's party! Please, I don't want to go alone." Even though I can't see her, I know she's doing the puppy face. Oh, so Sean... I should've guessed, only reason she would want to go. Now, Paige is not a romantic so this must be serious, she never gets too excited about crushes.

"I don't know if I can go, I need to ask first," I give in. One party won't hurt, besides, like I said, Paige doesn't get too excited about boys, very often... well she hardly ever gets excited about boys.

"Then ask! I'll be waiting for you," she urges. Then she hangs up.

I'm not really sure if I want to go to that party, Sean is a great guy. We aren't friends or anything like that but we have talked a few times. Anyways the thing is that there is probably going to be a lot of people since Sean knows everybody from everywhere... that party is gonna be a total mess but is also gonna be an opportunity to meet new people so I decide to call my mom and tell her:

"Mom, Paige just invited me to a party and I just wanted to know if I could go?" I ask as I nervously bite my bottom lip.

"Melissa, why didn't you tell me this earlier?" She questions, I can hear her getting upset throughout the phone. My mom likes things to be planned.

"I didn't know about it, I told you she just told me," I respond.

"You can go..." Yes! I said to myself, dancing around in the car, not a very safe driver, huh? but my happiness is quickly cut off when my mom speaks again, "If you pick up your sister first."
