I reached the door and slid it open. I rushed inside and glared at the twins.
"Oh is raining outside?" Maya asked, causing me to glare harder and walk away.
I found Britney in the living room pretending to do yoga or something.
"Did you get those clothes wet? If you got those clothes wet you will grounded for an entire month." she growled.
"No, I didn't get them wet." I answered.
"Damn." I heard her mutter.
That was when I cottoned-on to what she was doing; she was trying to find a way to stop me from going to the party.
I'd better explain to you guys. A party was being held because Alex was back. Britney had organised it. Well it was more of a karaoke but you had to wear a mask. All the girls were slashing out on new dresses to impress Alex. It was themed ball but I didn't know what the theme was until I got there, Mel was designing my dress.
I hadn't been allowed to go to the party for Joey either, but I was damn well sure I was making it to this one.
"Where are their dresses?" Britney questioned as she stood up.
"They are hanging on their bathroom doors ready for them." I responded.
Britney thought on this with a screwed up face then reached for her drink. She walked straight into me and spilled it down her top.
"What were you thinking?!" she screeched. "This was brand new! You are grounded for a whole month!" she yelled then walked out of the room with a satisfied smile.
My heart sank. The one time I could have had a chance not to be a nobody, and it had been taken away from me.
I made my way back to my "room" to call Mel. Man she was going to be pissed at Britney.
I plopped down on my bed and slid out my cell. Britney was such a saint for letting me have one. Note the sarcasm.
Mel picked up on the 4th ring. I had been praying that it would go to voicemail.
"Hey Mel." I said.
"What's up, the party is tomorrow?" she said excitedly.
"Yeah but I wont be going." I said sadly.
"Why? What did she do?" she warned.
"It doesn't matter, it's done. I'm not going." I explained hanging up.
As I had expected she phoned back within the next minute. I didn't pick up. Not being able to go was hard enough without having to explain things to Mel.
I was beckoned to make dinner and then was allowed my own. As usual all I could have was a sandwich. The bread was stale and the cheese tasted weird.
I fell onto my bed and let a few stray tears fall down my cheeks. It didn't take long for me to fall asleep, fully clothed.
