Kris' P.O.V.

**magic time skip to when Kris is at home alone.**

I walk into the somewhat deserted house. It's silent, so I know from first glance that my mum has left the house. Didn't even bother to leave a note.. I say, checking the kitchen counter. Instead of eating a proper dinner, I open up the pantry, take out some chips and walk upstairs to my room.

I lay on the rock hard bed, not even bothering to open the chips and eat. I'm not even bothered to turn on the lights. I check the time.

9:42PM

I lay there in the dark, home alone, thinking about the party decorations we bought. I hope Noelle puts that mistletoe to good fucking use.. put it over susie and her stupid ass crush.. I say to myself, clearly jealous. My vision goes a little blurry and I feel my wet cheeks. Crying like a little fucking baby, huh? Maybe that's why mums never home. Doesn't want to take care of the jealous little baby. I say to myself as I slowly cry myself to sleep.

**in her swimsuit, too.. jesus Kris what are you doing with yourself. Stop being deppressed.**

**magic time skip to when theyre walking to susies house to help with the decorating. This part is actually a comic by @socialllinks on instagram, but i've altered it a bit. Enjoy..**

Noelle and I scrape our feet on the gravel paths, barely talking. Until I bring something up. It's been in my head since last night.

"Hey Noelle.."
"Yeah?" She says in a sweet tone.
"If someone.. that you liked a whole lot.. had a thing for another person.. what would you do?" I say, looking up at her. She's still taller than me.
"Well.. i'd probably give up on that person.. I wouldn't want to make anyone sad.." she says.
"Hm.."
"But you're pretty bold, eh Kris? Not the type of person to let go easily.."
"Nah.. i'm honestly thinking of giving up.." I say, thinking of last night.
"I see.."
"Noelle, does Susie have a crush on.. you?" She goes all flustered.
"M-me? No! Not me!" She stutters.
"It's okay.. I think you two would be perfect for each other.."
"Kris! It's not what you think!"
"Mhm.. sure sure.. i'll make sure to dangle that mistletoe over you two at the party." I say smiling. Every word coming out of my mouth hurt so bad.
"Kris! I don't like Susie that way!"
"Yeah ok whatever.." I know she does. "Yesterday was probably her confessing to you or something, huh?"
Noelle goes silent as we walk up to Susies house. I gulp back tears, smile and knock on the door.

The inablility to smoke away my problems is really getting to me..

Susie's P.O.V.

I wake up in my pajamas, lying on my low double bed. The light from outside is flooding through my windows and I know for a fact it's gonna be a good day. I decided last night.

I'll try to ask Kris out..

I get up, get dressed into the same old clothes as always and check the time.

11:56AM

I'm surprised for a minute. Kris and Noelle are meant to be here by now to help. I walk downstairs, still half awake, and I hear my mum talking in a really high pitched voice.

Yep. They're here.

I walk into the kitchen.
"Sorry.. I slept in.." I say, yawning.
"Good morning honey!" My mum squeals.
"Mornin' Barney."
"Good morning Susie."
I smile at their greetings and sit down at the kitchen island.
"Where's dad?" I ask sleepily.
"Oh, he's sleeping in.. as usual." My mum says.
"We were helping your mum with the party food! She's so nice!" Noelle squeaks.
"Thanks darlin'." My mum says, dissapearing into the walk in pantry. Kris and Noelle are making fairy bread, so I help. I can't help but notice that Kris is.. more sad than usual. Her eyes are all droopy and she's frowning.
"Is she OK?" I nudge Noelle and ask her quietly.
"It's nothing.. i'll tell you later.." she whispers back and keeps making fairy bread.
"These little fairy bread things are a little.. childish, don't you think mum?!" I yell into the abyss we call the pantry.
"Well what am I supposed to give you? beer?"
"Yes. Beer." I say sarcastically. Kris' mouth doesn't move. It's harder than I thought to make her laugh. My mum peeks out of the pantry and gives me a death stare.
"Your father and I are going to be out during the party. A drink or two is ok for monsters, but not for Kris or any other humans. There's rules for them." She says sternly. I know for a fact Kris will ignore that completley and get white girl drunk, but she nods politely anyways.
"We'll be back at around.. lets say 11PM though, so save some party food for us."
"Where are you going?"
"Your fathers friend has gotten himself into a bit of an accident, and we must attend his court trial." She says, dissapearing into the pantry once again.
"Hope he's ok.. court trials are the worst." Kris says out of nowhere.
"You've been to one?" I ask.
"Not exactly, but they still scare me. My parents had to go to a few for child cust-"
"Well that's enough talk about that." My mum interrupts Kris. I decide I might ask her about it later. She comes out of the pantry holding a pack of frozen party pies.
"Have you got a fridge in there?" Kris asks, surprised.
"Yep.." my mum replies as she puts the pies on a tray and into the oven.
"So.. should we get started with decorating? I brought all the stuff!" Noelle squeaks, pointing to two large plastic bags underneath the counter.
"Yeah sure." Kris says, putting her butter knife down. She grabs one of the plastic bags and I grab the other.
"You girls have fun!" My mum squeals. Kris gives her a weak smile and I wave her goodbye for a bit.
"Over here.." I say, pushing open the double doors that led to a big room.
"Party room.." I say enthusiastically. I put one of the bags down and start to open it. Noelle starts grabbing things out of the bag and Kris starts opening the other one. In silence. And it's awkward.
