Brandon

Brandon: So what's your name?
Clara: Clara, I still can't believe you don't know me but I can't blame you
Brandon: Lol you mean I am scared of girls?
Clara: With that one, I don't know but all I know is you are a loner
Brandon: Yeah I really do prefer my own company
Clara: I thought you don't like people, I still can't believe you asked for my company
Brandon: Well I do love people, as I said I prefer my own company
Clara: Okay
Brandon: So Clara you been living here all along?
Clara: No I moved here three months ago
Brandon: I can tell I never came across your face
Clara: You always indoors
Brandon: I am just surprised that you know me
Clara: I know, it's already been three months but I know most people, cool guys like you
Brandon: Ooh okay
Clara: It's my birthday today
Brandon: Wow, umh happy birthday to you
Clara: Thanks, but I will be glad to have you join my party tonight
Brandon: Is that an invitation?
Clara: Yes
Brandon: How old are you?
Clara:  I am turning 14 today
Brandon: Ooh umh, I don't think it's a good idea for me to be there
Clara: Don't spoil my day, it will be fun and it will help you explore the other side, being out of your home for a night plus my parents are not around
Brandon: Let me think of it
Clara: Give me your number and I will send you the address
Brandon: Okay

I gave her my number as we departed, Wow I wonder when last did I have such talk, not with Monica. I went back home and laid a bit.

I wake up around 7 pm. I was awakened by the incoming call, I checked the caller the number is not familiar or maybe it's Clara I answered.

Brandon: Hello
Clara: I just needed to check if you still coming
Brandon: I doubt I will show up
Clara: Please do it for me, just once
Brandon: Umh Clara I..( she interferes)
Clara: Let me finish up with the preparation before everyone comes, see you soon

I exhaled as I go through my phone, I was hoping to see a text or something from Monica but there is nothing. I got off the bed and went to have my supper. I looked at her text she gave me an address she said the party starts at 9. I am not such a person who likes the crowded place so I don't really see myself in that place. I went to lay down as I logged in on my WhatsApp, I have no one to talk to so I went through Monica's account having a battle with my mind if I should text her or not, she was logging in and going out repeatedly, I exhaled as log out. I got off the bed. I took a quick bath, it's going to be a long night for me as I am going to the party.

I got to the party, there was too much vibe. Everybody seemed to be enjoying their selves. I walked around hoping to see someone I know but I couldn't, The place was filled with strangers. I was busy looking around I heard my name being called the voice sounded familiar, I searched around from where the sound comes from and it was indeed her.

Clara: Brandon!!! Wow you came, thanks for coming
Brandon: You gave me no choice
Clara: let's get you something to drink, what will you go for?
Brandon: I just want a soft drink, I am nonalcoholic
Clara: You kidding right?
Brandon: No, I am for real
Clara: Let's put the nonalcoholic aside for tonight and have fun
Brandon: I don't think it's a good idea
Clara: Come on let loose it's gonna be fun trust me
Brandon: (She was dragging me to a bowl filled with ice and different types of alcohol, I had mind conflict on if I should go for alcohol or not) Umh I wanna be sober for the night
Clara: Stop being a bore I will choose for you
Brandon: Fine, I will pick for myself( I went for brutal 8, Her mouth widen up)
Clara: Are you sure about it?
Brandon: Yes I am sure
Clara: Okay come and join my cousins here
Brandon: I hope I won't be a bad company ever since you know...
Clara: Let loose and enjoy

I went to join the guys they welcomed me nicely, they were interested in knowing who I am then after they proceeded with their conversation as if like I wasn't there and I am glad for that because I was going to feel somehow with all eyes on me. It was a little bit hard for me to engage with them so I just kept my mouth shut as I was focused on my drink on were will I start with it. I couldn't even open the beer, as I was struggling I found one of the gents starring at me. I gave him a questioning look and he grinned as he took my bottle and open up for me. I was so glad that none of them witness the moment. I took my bottle and drown in it, yew, what a bitter taste. I see people drowning in their drinks and I thought they are enjoying, I should've known that it feels like this. The only thing that made sounds was music, I couldn't hear the noises that came from my group, I raised up my head only to find them staring at me, For a second I felt so dump as they were all laughing at me and I joined them. Well, I tried to regain the courage to drink my beer again and I did, as I go on and on I started enjoying my drink. I found myself on the third bottle. I am a bad dancer so I just don't like dancing but right now I found myself dancing, I don't know what happened but I found myself inside the circle, everybody was cheering me as I dance. Later on, I wasn't myself anymore I needed to sit down or I should go home. Yeah, the only place to be now is home. I walked past everybody as I through the stairs, I am looking for the exit. I walked door to door searching for what could be an exit, Without having any luck I ended up in the bathroom, I stare at myself on the mirror I look so disordered, I feel like I am wearing a dress, damn where is my trouser? what is happening to me? I have been walking around like this, I went to the next room, it seems like a bedroom I found closet, I didn't waste any time I got off the dress and get into the trouser and t-shirt. I looked at myself in the mirror. I look better in these old clothes. I was back again in finding the exit. I found something more like a secret passage, as I was about to get to it then I heard my name being called.

Clara: Brandon what is going on with you?
Brandon: I am going home, I have been looking for an exit until I found this one
Clara: Are you crazy, you can't use this, you are wearing my father's clothes
Brandon: I am sorry I couldn't leave with that dress, how will everyone says when they see me in a dress
Clara: What dress, did you get into my closet
Brandon: What!! no, I just found myself in a dress, I don't even know how, oh my gosh look at me I am wearing heels!!!
Clara: Brandon you are wearing your normal shoes
Brandon: No Clara, I am wearing heels look just look at me( I said that trying to walk with them)
Clara: Come on let's go and change
Brandon: Okay, Are you going to give me some proper shoes to wear? these heels are killing me

I followed her, I still don't understand why will she let me walk on these heels because right now my feet are hurting.
