Chapter 24

"I can go right?" I ask, my fingers crossed behind me.

Mum reads over the paper, then looks at me with a strange smile. "Sure baby, anything you want."

What?

She places her hand on my cheek, "are you feeling better now? Is Darcy coming to the birthday party with you?"

"Um, I'm feeling alright and I don't know if Darcy's coming too."

"I'd talk to her okay? Everything would be fine," she smiles and walks away and I'm left with Nessa who's struggling not to laugh.

I glare, "what was that? What did you do?"

"I promise, I didn't mean to," she says raising both her hands up innocently.

"Tell me."

"So mum cornered me and started asking me what your attitude was all about and I told her you had a fight with a friend," she chuckles. "She asked if that was all, she didn't believe me and I told her it's probably with a girl."

"Oh no."

"Apparently everybody knows your only female friend is Darcy, so of course she thought it's about Darcy. She was going to call you and talk about relationships and girlfriends and tell you you're not ready but I thankfully stopped her telling her it would all just get worst," Nessa ends. "She's still on to you and I think she's trying to mend back your friendship with Darcy."

"Nessa!"

"It's not my fault, I was cornered!"

I sigh, "this is going to be so weird if she talks with Darcy, I don't like her that way and we barely fight." We disagree but I always let her win.

"Well any way you see it, it's a better reason than her knowing why you were so broody and gloomy."

I blush, going up to my room. "I think telling her I failed a test would have worked well too."

"We don't know that."

"Whatever," I ran up the remaining steps and go up to my room.

Tossing my books aside, I open up my wardrobe and start staring inside at all the clothes I have. Both the ones that I've had for years now. What does one wear to a party? I've never been to a party before and I've never been to a party where Sky Hunt would be. He is always impressing me with his outfits and style, for once I'd like to impress him too. What do I wear?

After a lot of thinking, I settle on one of my favorite church khaki pants; I have only worn it once and that was last Easter. The shirt finding is more hard because I don't have anything like a favourite shirt. At last I pick a plane maroon tee shirt and I am going to wear a black blazer over it. I arrange the outfits on my bed and my most new black vans under it, then I take a step back to smile at my picks. They look perfect and are honestly the best I can do on such short notice.

I decide to shower and start prepping my hair before Jamal comes. I can't hide my excitement even if I want to. Despite the fact that I didn't want to go at first, I'm happy Jamal is making me go. I'm excited about it and I'm more excited that Sky is going to be there.
