Mates

Chapter 9

My eighteenth birthday was coming up in a week. I'm super excited! Mom told me she would be making this big party and stuff. It'd be great and all but I don't have many friends to fill up the place she had rented. So she decided, without my consent may I add, that she'd just invite my whole class of 2014.

Bummer I know but it's my birthday! And nothing will bring me down. Not even Samantha.

I've already told Nicole and Jenny about going dress shopping with me this weekend. And I had promised both girls I would try all dresses they picked without too much complaint.

I've got my checklist in my hand checking off everything that's covered leaving the dress and shoes, and finally the cake.

That's about it. Looking over the checklist I noticed one box that wasn't checked off. Looking at it again.

The invitations.

The damn invitation hasn't been announced at school yet! I faced palm myself and went inside to find my mom in the kitchen making jell-O.

"Mom?"

"Yes Tam?"

"I haven't exactly made the announcement about the party yet..." I said "but I will tomorrow!" I quickly added.

"Oh Tam." Mom sighed. "Do hurry up, not everyone likes to be invited a week before a big party"

"i will" i kissed her on the cheek "I promise"

"So how's the party plans going?" Jenny asked me while they were waiting for me outside the dressing rooms.

"It's.. going" I tell her. Gosh this zipper won't go up! "Jenny? Nicole? Mind helping me put the zipper up?"

The curtain to the dressing rooms were parted and in came the girls. Thank the lord the room was big enough for all three of us. Jenny was the one to help me put the zipper up while Nicole just sat down and went over the dresses they had picked out.

Shopping took hours but thank god we found the right clothes! Can't wait till the party!

At school was nothing different except maybe my two best friend always running of on me. Every time that I tried to talk to them they always had other things to do.

At lunch I felt a bit lonely. Jenny had a test to make up and Nicole had a project to finish. So instead of staying at lunch alone I went to the office to make the big announcement. Yay me! Not really.

"Miss may I make an announcement?" I asked the front desk lady.

"About what?" She asked

"Uh well my mom wanted to invite people to umm my 18th birthday..." I trailed of.

"Well of course honey" the desk lady said.

"Attention seniors! Umm I would like to invite you guys to my eighteenth birthday party this coming week!" my voice sounded terrible and shaky, but I continued "the party will be held at the holiday inn ballroom.. You guys know the place!" Well that was that.
