I wake up suddenly, my phone says 8:46am. I roll over and clutch my blue blanket, desperately trying to resist waking up. But that's it. Once I'm up, I'm up.
I'm sixteen! Wow.
I'm now of legal age to drive, drink alcohol with a meal, work full time (if I l eave school which I haven't), change my name, buy a lottery ticket, consensual sex, apply for a passport without parental consent and donate blood.
I sit up and lean against the back of my bed. I bite my nails impulsively as I stare out the window. The sun is brighter than normal. Yet again I've only been here, in New Jersey, a week. We moved here from Spain for my moms job.
"Aria?!?" My Mom calls.
I hear her rushing up the stairs.
"Yeah?" I say.
She opens my door and steps into my room. She instantly opens my closet and grabs a pair of jeans and crop top. She throws them at me.
"Here, put something on, you need to come with me to get party stuff." She says.
"Ok, where's Tulio?" I ask.
"He's sleeping." She says.
"Wow, that's rare, best birthday gift." I say.
She laughs and walks out my room, closing the door behind her. I rub my eyes.
Tulio is my one year old brother. I'm glad my mom isn't strict. And she's also kinda trendy. Too bad she gives me chores.
I get dressed and walk downstairs. We go shopping and get banners, cake, and even alcohol.
That's right my mom bought me alcohol to take to a party with no parents. Okay. She is a tad immature. She had me when she was 17, so kinda understandable.
Party time 🌺

Okay. Everything's set. Mom's in work. Tulio is at day care. And it's 9pm. Now everyone just has to come. I only really know like ten people, tops, here because I haven't been to school yet. I'm going tomorrow though :/
'Knock knock'
I go and open the door, it's Sydney! And like five others. Sydney's my best friend, she moved here from Spain too.
