Christmas Time in New York City is the craziest time of year. All the tourists come swarming in and you can't walk down a street without suffocating from the mass amounts of people hitting you with their massive shopping bags.

The weather gets down to about 2°C, so I try to just stay inside all day to avoid the hysteria. I don't understand what the big deal about New York is, sure; its beautiful, but theres nothing to do unless you're rich and famous, there's nothing to do when you're 18. 

my phone bleeps;

From:Heather

come back to the room!! i've got something important to tell you!

Heather is my best friend, actually my only friend, here. And knowing her, whatever she has to tell me will only be to her benefit. 

-

I unlock the dorm room and hear Heather yapping on the phone.

"yeah-okay well i'll try- i don't know if she-" just then she notices me standing at the door.

"i have to go see you later" and she hangs up the phone.

"okay Heather what is it? this better be important because i had to walk all the way from 5th Avenue." i said sitting down on my bed opposite from hers.

"I got us into Limelight for tonight!" she squealed.

"Limelight, whats that?"

"It's only Manhattans biggest Christmas rave!" she squealed once again.

"Ugh a party!" I replied rolling my eyes, I hate parties and dealing with drunk people all night.

"Aw come on Elena, you never go out anymore!" she whined.

"No."

"Please?!"

"No."

"Please?!" If i didn't agree, she'd keep asking all night and then annoy me about it for th next 4 years.

"Fine, alright ,just don't ditch me again ok?"

"Yeah, yeah I promise." she said then grabbing her phone to call whoever she was talking to when I walked in.

I threw myself down on the bed and thought about how much i'll regret this decision in the morning.
