Annie's point of view:
I searched for Lilac around the bus area. Oh great,my bus had already left. Suddenly,I saw two girls,slowly approaching me. Their smiles reminded me of Marie,but I decided that I was probably just overreacting. One of then stepped forward and handed me a piece of paper.
Hi! Me and my friend just saw you,you seem very nice. Do you want to come to our party tonight?
I mean,how could I say no? I texted my mom,who was absolutely fine with it. I quickly scribbled "yes" on the piece of paper and off we went.
We rode in a fancy car,it's top was open and the fresh air made me feel really good. I saw the house from far away. It looked really fancy. I saw all of the colorful lights coming out of the house. It looked amazing. We came out of the car,and everybody looked at me with sympathy. I had never felt like I belonged somewhere before. It was the best feeling ever. I danced for a while,but since everybody went to the bar I decided to go there. Everyone was getting drunk,yet I didn't drink. My two friends came over to me,asking if I want something. When they insist,I grudgingly take one shot. The world starts spinning. My friends hand me a note.
You hate Lilac don't you?
Without knowing what I was saying or doing,I nod.
They now take out a camera,as I tremble all over and ask me questions.
They record as I nod when they say I hate Lilac. They take pictures while I'm about to kiss some random drunken up guy. I rushed into the bathroom,puking. That is when I realized how big of a mistake that was. Those two weren't my friends,they were using me! Just then my heart stops.
Marie.
