Switching the Setting

The Wait

As I waited for my birthday to come, I tried my best to come up with other ideas so I wouldn't think of my party. Nothing worked.

I tried to go bowling with Samantha; that didn't work.

I tried to go to the park across the way; that didn't work either.

All of my ideas seemed to fail because I continued to think of my party. Everywhere I went I thought that maybe, Mom had planned my party to be there.

It was Tuesday, which meant so had 4 days until the party arrived. I learned that it would be from 3 PM to 11 AM, making it a sleepover.

This was going to be a party to remember.

I started to create the guest list. I wonder why Mom was waiting so long to send out the invites. Normally she sent them at least 3 weeks ahead.

My list was starting to grow after 10 minutes of thinking. The guests were going to be all of the friends and people I liked from anywhere:

Samantha,

Chrissie,

Heather,

Myra,

Callie,

Hallie,

Alexa,

Ashton,

Monica,

Hazel,

Kira,

Logan,

Leyton,

Tyler,

Nathan,

Noah,

Jared,

Ryan,

and Matthew,

were all of the people on my guest list. I figured I didn't need anymore.

Samantha was my best friend as you probably know.

Chrissie was one of my good friends when it came to school time.

Heather was a close friend, although we stopped hanging out as much when she started hanging around Joanna and the other popular girls.

Myra was one of my friends from when I was younger, but she means well, and is super friendly.

Callie and Hallie are the twins and they have always been nice to me just not best friends.

Alexa was one of those girls who could be nice yet stubborn at the same time, and bossed me around a little so I started hanging out with Samantha, Cassie, Callie, Hallie, Monica, Hazel, and Kira.

Ashton was one of the popular girls, but was always very kind to me and would help me whenever I was in need.

Monica was one of my close friends that I would stay with at recess and lunch.

Hazel was one of my really good friends that I invited over super often.

Kira and I were never super close, but we stayed together in our group at lunch and recess so I thought it would be rude not to invite her.

I invited boys because it would be weird not to if I was having a huge party with lots of people.

Logan was my best friend in first grade. We would do everything together until one day he just went off to play football with the other boys instead of playing with me. I avoided him for all these years and would now have to talk to him again.

Leyton was one of my friends when we were younger but stayed loyal to me whenever he wanted to go do something else with the boys. He would tell me politely then run off to play, unlike Logan who would just leave me then go to the boys.

Tyler, Nathan, and Noah were triplets. they never strayed from each other and were super aggressive towards anyone who tried to bother them. They were a bit pushy, but were always nice to me.

Jared was kind to me every day of the school year. He would help me with carrying my books from one teachers' class to another and would always compliment me on the way I looked that day. I might say that we are childhood sweethearts.

Ryan was one of the footballers at Garrison Elementary. He was one of the best actually. I would watch him play, with my girls at my sides, and we would all admire him even though I still had my eye on Jared. Ryan was a sweet guy, but he did have his anger issues. Like one time someone didn't throw him the ball, and he just flat out tackled them! I definitely hope nothing like that happens at my party.

Matthew was one of the nerdier type of guys at Garrison, but he had always been accepted by the football boys. They wanted him to play cause he had very large muscles, even for an eleven year old. He was nice to me most I the time, so why not invite him to my party?

I worked out all of the flaws on my list, then gave it to Mom so she could email the other parents.

This party was going to be awesome!
