Chapter 9: Celebration Time
It's been a week since he gave
the announcement and today is the day."It is a friday! Time to party!" I heard Blair happily sing to us all. "When did you get so cheery?" I asked to Blair. "She's a Parker! This girl probably went to a bunch of fancy parties before, so this is only normal for her." Amber replied to me.
"I, Blair, and Alission are going to the party today. Are you?" I asked Amber. "Nah." "What! Why not Amber!?" Blair practically yelled at her. "Is it because you are worried that you would not go to the dance with Mark?" She slyly added.
"What? No. It's not cuz of him. I don't wanna go because its not my thing. I raised myself in the woods to learn how to survive, not how to wear high heels and hurt my feet just for some stupid one time meaningless party." Amber snapped at Blair, but she normally smiled even though Amber just lunged at her.
I wonder how Blair can be so happy in moments like these. I guess she just hides all her bad emotions under that caring mask of hers.
"Alright. Let us make a deal then.-" Amber cocked one of her eyebrows at the mention of a deal. "-If you go to the party tonight I'll be sure to upgrade your motercycle with advanced Parker technology and if you do not....well, I believe you have an idea right?" Blair said to her while grinning, knowing she won. "...fine but you better keep your word!" Amber said to her as she blushed.
"Alright then! Let's hurry up and pick out a dress for you since the dance is in two hours." Blair told her while giggling, making Amber groan in response. We all left the our dorm and went out into the Cardiga reigon looking for the perfect dress for her.

It's finally 9:00 pm and the party is about to start. I'm wearing a sleeveless white dress with a small black belt around my waist; with some black flats.
I look down at my left arm and see a scar form from where I got cut but it's fine. That was the past and this is the present, and it was worth it because Ronan got caught. But right now is a time for celebrating!
So I was walking through the school halls heading towards the decorated lounge, but while I was walking I heard two voices. They sounded like girls talking. I shouldn't listen on their conversation because it would be rude but...it couldn't hurt for at least five seconds right? I hid behind a wall corner and started to listen.
"SoAreYouGoingTonight?" I heard a familiar person ask. Peni. "Yes I am. Then we'll disscuss it tonight. Tell Jay and Mark in advance." I heard Malin say. But her cheery and normally happy tone was gone and replaced with a deep almost devilish tone.
I decided to keep walking the way I was going before and I opened the two doors to the lounge.
Oh.My.Gosh. The lounge looks beautiful! There's a disco ball in the center of the room, black and silver ribbons all over, and a table with delicious looking food! It's amazing how Jay and Peni, along with the staff, decorated this room in a week only.
Now thinking of it, I can't get the weird conversation Peni and Malin had out of my head. What did Peni mean when she said if she will go tonight? Why did Malin reply like that to her question? I have a bunch of questoions in my head, but none lead to answers. Only more questions.
"Hello Amber you finally came! We were waiting for you!" Blair said esstatically. "Yeah, yeah you still owe it to me tho." Amber said looking very annoyed. She had on a sparkly silver dress with knee high black boots and a leather black jacket.
"I don't know why you got me a new jacket and boots when I'm not gonna use them again but whatever you're rich." Amber said to Blair while taking off her jacket. I decided to walk over to them. "Oh, hello Evelina you look very exquisite." "Oh! Uh thanks I guess." I said while rubbing my neck.
Blair then looked back at her and her eyes nearly bulged out of her face."Amber! That's not the way the dress was before! What did you do to it!" Blair screamed in disbelief. "I didn't like the way it was before so I cut some of it, is that so wrong?" Amber said as she sat down in a chair next to Alisson. Her dress was cut to show off her shoulders but it also had short sleeves.
My team and I mostly sat on the sidelines eating food and talking majority of the time. Then a fast pop song came on and a certain someone came in front of Amber and held out his hand to her.
"Care to dance with me?~" Mark asked her. "No." Amber replied bluntly. "Come on you look lonely, we can have a good time together anti-princess.~" Mark said while still holding out his hand and winking at her. "No thank you. I'm far from lonely cuz I'm hanging out with my team. We are already having a good time without you so you can just leave!" She replied back to him.
Blair then pushed Amber out her seat and into Mark's arms while saying "She would love to!" Making Amber blush. They then went dancing off into the night.
I was looking around the room bored when, from the corner of my eye, I saw Malin. But she was going out the lounge. The conversation I heard earlier popped into my head again. Does this have to do with the conversation? Or is she just going to the bathroom? Curiosity got the best of me and I decided to follow her.
As they say, curiosity killed the cat.
