A few weeks had gone by since the Halloween party. I didn't think of Ken any different since then but Thanksgiving break was coming up and I knew that I would have to see Ken outside of school. Usually all of my friends including myself go out to eat the day after Thanksgiving because we hate leftovers, and since Ken and I have the same group of friends he was likely to go.

Thanksgiving Day

"Dan" Damnit all of my family had just arrived at my house

"Yeah" look at me trying to be nice

"How have you been, have you gotten any letters back from college" Wow I hate when people get on me about school

"Not yet" Geez I really hated that question

We all sat down to eat, finally everyone would be too busy stuffing their faces to say anything to me

"Luke I don't like your hair" My grandma was always getting on my cousin Luke's case too

"Why not grandma?" Luke hated most of the family functions like me

"It looks like one of those gays" Oh how I hated my family's discrimination towards everyone

"Well, you don't have to worry about that mom" There goes my uncle Leo to Luke's rescue

"And why is that?" My grandma was always sweet and mean at the same time

"Because Lukey has got himself a girlfriend" Haha Lukey

"Oh well that's good, I can't stand those gays"

"Grandma, we get it! Could everyone quit being so damn rude" Did I just say that

"Wow don't be so defensive, must like them guys huh" I fuckin hated my uncle Jerry

"No, I know someone who is gay" I was so pissed

"Well, you don't like him right"

"He is my friend"

"Oh, sorry" Finally everyone apologized

"Well, I'm done. I'm going to go to sleep"

I went upstairs and fell right asleep

The next day me and my friends went to dinner

"So dude what's up" I knew he was going to talk to me

"Nothing much, what about you Ken"

"Same"

"So, Christmas is coming are you all excited"

"I am" damnit why did I talk

"That's cool Dan, I'm excited too" Michelle was so nice

"Michelle is having another party"

"Oh really Ken?" I asked

"Yeah, I'm having another party" Michelle answered for Ken

"I'll be there" Damnit another mistake

"Me too dude" Ken said

"Well I can't wait, it's next weekend. Then my next one isn't until New Year's" Michelle always was a partier

"Yeah and I'm not drinking this time" I was shocked by Ken's statement

"Really" I asked

"Yeah, last time I threw up all day after" I wanted to laugh but I didn't

"I can see why your not then"

"You just need to build up your beer legs" Michelle said with a smile

"Maybe" Ken said

"Well, I'm ready to go. What about you guys?" I was too tired

"Yeah, let's go" Michelle said

We went to the store after, we messed around with some people who were trying to shop during black Friday. Then I went back to my house and went straight to bed. I can't wait til Michelle's party, but I'm kinda nervous.
