School was finally over and it was safe to say that it was Winter Break. Which meant no stupid girls, no douchebag guys, and no annoyin si-
Nevermind, I live with Dixie.
"We will definitly be coming! Of course! Ok, Bye!" I listen to Dixie talk on the phone. She finally hangs up and looks at me.
"Because of you, This is the first time I am invited to a Magnolia Barnard Chrsitmas party. So we have to go,"
"Dixie, you can go. I hate everyone that is going to be there," I reply.
"Eliza! I am your plus one, you have to come!" Dixie whines. I roll my eyes and yawn. What is the worst thing that could happen anyways?
"Fine," I say. Dixie cheers before skipping out of our room.
What have I gotten myself into?
I have tried calling my dad a million times about me coming home, and all he says is that I should be spending time with my mother and Dixie. And that is a bonding expieriance, that I should make the best out of it.
So what is the harm of one small Christmas party?
I open my suitcases that I never unpacked, and look through my clothes. I find a simple white dress and red heels.
Dixie come running back into the room wearing a bright pink princess dress.
"Is this too much?" She asks.
"Are you going to a high school party or a ten year olds beauty pageant?" I ask her laughing a little.
She huffs and walks out of the room again. I slip on the white dress and walk into my bathroom.
I apply some light makeup and then my shoes. For the first time ever, I was ready first.
Parties were my thing back home. I would go to one every Friday night and recover every Saturday.
"Eliza! I'm ready! Let's go!" I hear the shiricking coming from downstairs and I roll my eyes. I grab my phone and walk downstairs.
Why am I not suprised that Dixie tells me there is a party ten minutes before the party starts?

"I am so glad you could make it!" Magnolia smiles giving me a hug. I hug her back and smile at her.
I notice Patty talking to an older guy in the corcer of the room. I ignore it and look around more.
"Eliza!" I here someone call. I follow the voice until my eyes land on Christian. He motions for me to come over to him.
"Suprised you came. Do you know where Mags is?" He asks me. I shrug my shoulders. He rolls his eyes and walks away.
I end up talking to a few random kids for a while so I am not completely alone. That is when I saw it.
Something I wish I hadn't seen because now I have to make the desicion to say something or not.
I watch the thing a little longer and then quickly look away. I look around the house for anything else to look at.
I see Brick and freeze. He smiles at me and starts walking over. Fuck. What am I suppossed to tell him?
"Brick! Hey," I smile at him.
"Hey, Yo Patty is gonna flip out if she sees me talking to you again," He laughs a little looking around for her.
"I'm sure she is fine," I say nervously laughing.
