"I'm not going"
- Not Mary, I told you, I'm not going to this stupid party. We've got a test on the 2nd, I'm not wasting my time partying two days before.
- But you promise you'd come to at least one party every month in junior year, you haven't come to anyone yet
- I promised you four years ago, I thought we wouldn't be friends anymore
- Ooooh! She killed you!
- Shut up Thomas.
My best friend turns to her boyfriend and look at him as if she wanted to tell him he had to be on her side.
- OK Ella, tell me. What would you need to come to that one party? It's at my cousin's house and it will be the place to be on Halloween night...
- I won't come, we...
- Have an important test, we know. That's your only reason?
- Hum... Heu...
- Yes, it's your only reason.
- So if me and Mary managed to change the test date, you'd have to came. Deal?
- Deal. We're not letting you choose.
Mary and Thomas kissed, proud of themself. I wasn't OK but I had to admit, I did promise to Mary and it was the only reason I could find for me not to go to a party. I'm not the kind of girl who like to party. Nothing is more important to me than have good grades and going to the best university. I can't waste my time on a party. Anyway, there's no way those two can make the test on an another day so I'm sure I won't have to go to that party.
My plans for Halloween are easy : first, dress up with my 11 years old twins brothers and my dad. This year, it will be werewolf. Then, mummy'll take a picture of us four before going to work, she's a nurse and work on Halloween night. They'll go tricks or treating with friends while I study. Meanwhile my dad will make popcorn and give candy to tricks or treaters. When Eddie and Elliot will come back, we'll put the candy in front of the door and watch an horror movie eating candy and popcorn. Then, they'll all 3 go to bed while I'll study for at least one or two more hours.
- You're coming Ella? We've got history.
History aka the class where we'll have the huge test next week. Even before the beginning of the class, Thomas put his hand up in order to ask Mister Nuno, that every student name mister No-no cause he never say yes, to change the date of the test. Good luck with that...
- Sir. Could we change the date of the test?
It will be an amazing Halloween party and we won't be able to study for it. Could you please put it the next week?
- No-no. I won't change a test's date just so you can have a party.
He stops and watch the face of all his student.
- I maybe can make an exception. Is there more student that want to change the date of the test?
Almost everybody put their hand up, even me, Mary made me. The teacher smiles at us and take a sheet out of his back.
- Then take a sheet of paper, you're gonna take the test today.
All the classroom turn to Thomas, unhappy of that. He smiles at me and say :
- Well, You won't have to study anymore.
