DISCLAIMER: I'm talking with Chloe

Chloe: "Soooo what happens at the party?"

Me: "I'm not going to tell you."

Chloe: "Why not?"

Me: "'Cause I'm evil like dat!"

Chloe: "You don't own darkest powers!"

Me: "Yeah but I own the plot so don't piss me off!

Chapter 5: Invitations

Well it turns out the message Kari sent me was an invitation to Mila's party with a note asking me to invite a bunch of people.

Great, just great!

But I am a good friend so I will do what she asks.

I walked down the stairs and out the door with a "Bye Amy!" Over my shoulder. I slid into my Bug and drove away thinking of who to invite.

I parked my car in the school parking lot and went to my locker, barley acknowledging Kari who was waving at me to come over to her locker. I looked down and pretended not to notice her, she probably wanted me to bring a date or something, which I didn't really want to do. I spun the combination when a shadow loomed over me, again. I looked up and saw Derek, scowl on face and eyes narrowed.

"You're in front of my locker." He grumbled.

"S-s-sorry." I said, stepping out of the way.

He just grunted.

I sighed what was his problem?

"What's your problem?" I asked without thinking, and regretted it immediately, he looked up eyes glinting, hardening into shards of green glass.

"You." He said his voice rumbling. With that he turned and walked away.

I stared after him, felt the tears start to gather in my eyes, why did I care so much about what he thought about me?

~~***~~***~~***~~***LUNCH TIME YUM YUM~~***~~***~~***~~***

I slammed my tray on the table. Rae and Liz looked up, startled (Did I mention they were friends of Chloe too? Well they are)

"What happened to you, girlie?" Rae asked humor in her voice. "Did someone run over your cat?"

Liz elbowed her and said, "What's really wrong Chlo?" Concern filling her ocean blue eyes.

"Derek Dick-face Souza." I growled

Tori had just started walking over. "What about my dick-faced brother?" she asked a grin on her face, but when she saw my expression, her face turned serious "What did he do?"

"This doesn't concern you, Victoria." Rae sneered her name as if it was a cuss word.

"My brother, my business, Rachel." Tori sneered right back.

"C'mon gals, listen to Chloe!" it was Liz who spoke up before there was a fight between the two, who already hated each other.

"Well, I asked him what his problem was a he said, and I quote 'You'."

"Hes just a jerk don't let him get to you." Tori said.

Yeah right. I thought

We talked about other things for the rest of lunch and Tori was invited to the party much to Rae's disapproval. The rest of the day seemed to drag on, I sneaked a couple glances at Derek who was ignoring my presence like I was nothing. It made me sad knowing that he didn't even care about me, I'd rather be hated by him than ignored. Theater came and I saw Mila waving her hands around and yelling my name like a crazy person.

"Guess who I invited!" she yelled bouncing over to where I sat down. "SIMON BAE! And he said YES!" she was squealing and jumping up and down like a kangaroo on crack. Then she slowed down and said "Oh, and another thing, he bringing his brother, Derek Souza."

Screw my life

Okay I know its short but hey, its better than nothing.
