Come one, come all. Invitation only.
What: A party you'll never forget.
Where: Degrassi Community High School
When: Tonight, 8:00 sharp. The devil waits for none.
Eli and Clare sat at The Dot sharing a plate of fries, laughing at something Eli had said.
Adam walked in, spotted the two lovebirds, and strolled up to them.
"Do you guys know anything about the party tonight?" he asked holding up his crisp, white envelope.
Clare reached into her bag and pulled out an envelope as crisp and white as his. Then they both looked to Eli who held no white invitation anywhere near him. "Mine's at home," he told them, answering the unspoken question.
"Did your invite say who was hosting the party?" Clare asked Adam. He shook his head. "It only told me to be at the school at eight," he told her. "Drew said he got one and he said he was going."
"Alli texted me about the party and told me she was going," Clare informed the boys. Now that left only one more question.
"Are you two going?" Adam finally asked.
Clare reached for Eli's hand and locked her fingers with his. "Only if Eli's going," she replied softly as she brought his hand to her lips and brushed them against his fingers.
Adam looked to Eli who was shoving his face with more fries with his free hand. He chewed for a long moment as if to build suspense. Eli was one who loved drama, though he would deny it.
He smirked after all his fries had been eaten. "A party's a party."
KC sat on a bench in the school hallway with his arm wrapped around Jenna's arms. It was good that he wanted to be back in her life and help take care of their kid. It almost made me regret putting him on my list. Almost.
He was still a sinner. Not only had he gotten Jenna pregnant, among other things, but he'd left her alone to deal with the consequences of his actions.
So why am I not punishing Jenna as well? For one thing, she was taking care of two lives: hers and her unborn child's. I couldn't take the life of an innocent. For another thing, I felt a little sorry for Jenna. I didn't know her, but I watched her. She was trying to fix her life after the baby had been discovered. Not to say I'm God, but everyone deserves a second chance if they begin to try.
Anyway, KC sat with his arm around Jenna. Yadda, yadda, yadda.
"So did you get an invite to the party tonight?" KC asked with hope in his eyes. I knew what he was thinking: This could be a chance for him to reconnect with Jenna and show her he wasn't going to leave her again.
Jenna's shoulders slumped and she sighed. "Nope," she answered quietly. "Whoever's hosting it probably didn't want the pregnant girl to screw everything up."
KC gently turned her face to his. He looked deep into her blue eyes and she looked into his big, brown ones. "Don't say that," he demanded of her softly. "You wouldn't screw things up. If you want, I don't have to go."
I could be worried at this point that she'd talk him out of it, but I understood Jenna. She would make him go and live his life while he still could. She wouldn't make him stay home until the baby was born.
"No," she protested. "Please go. The party might be fun. I don't want you to miss out on anything because of me. Besides, Alli's just gonna text me and tell me all the details. You can call me if you want when you get home. I won't be going to bed until midnight because I have a huge English project to do."
KC kissed Jenna's cheek. "It won't be as much fun without you there," he told her, "But okay. I love you Jenna."
She smiled brightly at him. "I love you, too, KC."
Now is where I bid you farewell as your narrator. Wouldn't want to give away who I am, now would I?
