FIGURING OUT FATE

Ch:2 The Invite

I can't believe it's almost Halloween and my birthday. Yes my birthday is on Halloween.

It has been a month since school started. Me and Angela have grown closer than ever before it really was an instant connection between us. Sophie is good too but she would not stop saying that I love Kristy every time I stop her from trying to hurt her.

We have been planning to go to the Spook soul carnival on the day before Halloween. It is a Millivine only fest but they have few outsider's invites. If I do go it would be marked as the first time we go out together. I really want to you know.

The girls do not seem very exited though almost like they don't want to go to the carnival; or that they don't want me there. Ok I have to stop overthinking why would they invite me if they didn't want me there, right. Oh my god why am I so insecure. I who has counseled so many people through friendships and breakups is the most insecure person on the planet.

Anyways back to what I'm doing right now is... oh s**t it's class, nope not anymore it's lunch now and Kristy is walking towards me, ughhhh.

"Heyyy Kiara this is an invite to my Halloween eve party. I know you don't like me and that it is your birthday and that you probably won't come because you don't trust me to not duin your day but please come everyone else from school is coming you can bring your friends to and that includes Sophie-bitchy but please come and I'm sorry for spilling juice on you when we were six." she said without taking a single breath. Wait a minute she actually apologised for that and invited me to her party has she fallen in love with me damn. "I-I'll think about it" I managed to say.

"Did that b***h have the audacity to call me Sophie-bitchy on my face and not even acknowledge my presence." "Shut up Sophie. Kiara why did you not tell us that it is your birthday." Angela whined. "I guess i forgot I have been here for forever everyone just knows each other's birthdays by now. But anyways we're going to the carnival that day so I'll just say no."

Then the news broke Sophie said that the carnival was like basically a hunted house and they don't want to ruin my birthday there. Angela suggested that I go to Kristy's party be cause we've grudged over the most stupid thing for too long. Sophie hated that idea because she and Kristy actually hate eachothers guts, but I want them there with me, what the f**k this is messed up.

A: Kiara you should go you smare the one who is invited

K: but I want to go with you guys i really want this to be our time together

S: oh Kiara but i don't think she wants us there just you

K: well she did technically invite you guys and if she wants me there she's is gonna have to bear with having you guys there.

A: Ok girls we will talk about this but right now eat.

After school that day Angela called me and screeches into my ear saying that Sophie agreed to gk once she saw the pics from last year. I knew that would work. Kristy's Halloween parties are always firey bot and perfect afterall. Now I have to tell my mum aggh...

She hates Halloween and new people and parties, so now you know why it is such a task trying to get her to agree. I just hope that she is in a good mood.

"Mumma...can I go to a Halloween party with my friends." "Kiara you know I don't like sending you to parties at such a young age and i know how Caroline and Ava." "That is the thing mom I'm not going with them in going with my new friends Angela and Sophie they transferred from Millivine High this year. They are really nice people, and it is Kristy's party i want to go to." "No darling I am not letting you go, and for all that talking back you are going to stay at home and help me give out candies no trick or treating for you." s**t that was bad I should have known this would happen I know my mother.

Now I have to tell Kristy she's probably going to think that I'm trying to ditch her even after everything she said. I will just message her that is easier.

/Hiii... I really want to come to your party but my mom doesn't like seeing me have fun sry 😔.../

/Hiiii.. Kiara I get it but can I try talking to ur mum she knows my mom so maybe i can convince her.. so can I get her number/

/sure u can try XXXXXXX/

/Thnks/

That went surprisingly well she was so nice it feels fishy, like why does she need me there. I legit want her to succeed and that has never happened before, damn i really do want to go to that party afterall.

A while later mumma called me down for dinner, I am honestly surprised she did after what has happened.So we all sat down for dinner me, mumma, dad and levi. Mid dinner she said "Kiara, Kristy's mom Mrs.Miller called me, she convinced me to let you go to that party you were talking about; but you have to be home by one the next day because I don't want you driving out at night, you are going to have to sleep over at their place." "OMG THANKYOU MOM I PROMISE YOU WILL NOT REGRET THIS!!" "OK ok don't shout and have fun right."

After dinner I ran up to my room to message Kristy

/OMG girl i don't know what you did but it worked I'm coming to ur party n then staying over 🤯/

/OMG no way she agreed we have to thank my mom for that she is the goat/

/ikr I love ur mom btw Angela and Sophie are also coming/

/oh ok they can stay over too if they want/

/oh ok I'll ask/

So I went over to message the girls

K: ladies we are going to a Halloween party and staying over for th night (if ur comfy)

A: wait really OMG I'll be there fr sure

S: the night huh if you guys want to

K: I love u girls

After sometime I went to bed but i couldn't sleep instead I was overthinking about why Kristy would work so hard to get me to come to her party after years of not so friendly banter. Does she want to embarrass me some way, like actually break our unsaid rules and hurt me.I really have to stop overthinking and stay careful that day or maybe i should not be going. Should I just ditch the party and curl up in bed for Halloween with candy. Or maybe i could convince mum that I'm sick. Or maybe... I don't know uggh guess i should just try to sleep.

Goodnight.
