My Perfect Amethyst

Surprise!

She ran towards me, wrapping me up in a bear hug.

Good! You've been here for a while now and you haven't gone out once!

Now go get dressed, she said while tugging at my towel.

I did as she requested, but I wasn't in the mood to have any fun tonight. All I really want to do, is lay down & sleep.

But Marli is right about one thing.

I've been here for over a month now and all I do is work and come home. I guess it won't hurt to just let loose and relax for one night.

After all, it's the weekend and we're both off for the next two days.

After I was finished getting dressed, I did my hair and makeup.

I came out to get Marli's approval.

I guess she approved, because she squealed so loud, I thought my ears would bl**d!

Okay, let's go! She said, while grabbing her purse and keys.

We're going to be late!

Late? Late for what? I asked.

You'll See! She replied.

I'm not sure what she has in mind, but she is definitely excited about it.

I've never been one for surprises, so I'm getting kind of nervous.

The next thing I know, we turn down this really creepy back road. It was something you would see in a horror film.

Umm, Marli, Where are we going?

Relax girl, it's right up here, you'll see. Don't be so nervous. You will have fun, I promise, she replied.

After a couple more turns, we pull up to this open field. There was already a crowd of people there. I seen 2 bonfires blazing and drink coolers everywhere.

I'm not sure what to think at this point. I've never been to a field party before.

As soon as we were parked, Marli screams, Surprise!

Tonight, you will get to know everyone, who is worth knowing in this town!

Uh Marli, can you please stick with me, while we're here? You're literally the only person I know!

Marli replied, Absolutely! This is going to be great! Tonight is the night, I show my new best friend, what Crescent Bay is all about! After tonight, your friends list will quadruple!

What in the world, have I gotten myself into, I groaned beneath my breath.

THANK YOU
