♔ SARAH'S POINT OF VIEW ♔

"I don't think that Margaret is gonna be there. So please Sarah, relax. We barely get invited in any parties. So why not try this one? After all, " Kylie paused while taking something from her bag, "Darren himself invited us."

She handed me a piece of crumpled paper, which I gradually opened. In it are two handwritings, one which I recognized as Kylie's, and another one which I assume to be Darren's.

Hi Darren, I know tht u and my frnd Sarah already met, I saw u in the hallways,,...

Yeah. U 2 r frnds?

Yes, y?

I was goin' 2 ask her if she's going 2 my bday party.....but since ur her frnd maybe u cud go wid her?

I stopped reading, then glared at my brunette friend. "Is this real? Or did you just changed your handwriting. "

"It's real as your blonde hair, my friend," She stated, "Darren was in my class, and well, the rest is history. Funny because we were in history class. "

"Haha. " I muttered, slightly jealous that they have a class together.

I took a glance around the cafeteria, noticing that the popular table hasn't been occupied yet. Maybe the campus royalties aren't here yet, Darren included.

The popular table consists of 9 chairs, being occupied by the 9 most popular students in the school. Margaret Teller, her three sidekicks Amethyst Radcliffe, Jillian Tresdale, and Karen Smith. Also the boys, Kieth de Vera from France, Daniel Fraser, the football captain and Margaret's current boyfriend. And of course, Darren Sanders. Currently the Campus King if you ask me. And we also have the Miller twins, Jamaica Miller aka the cheerleader captain, and Jessica Miller, the school council's vice president. Well if we have President Barbie, we'll also have Vice President Kelly.

"Hello? Princess Sarah? Hello? " Kylie waved a hand in front of my face which I caught and pretended to bend. "Ouch. " She stated.

"What?" I snapped.

"So are you going or not? " She questioned.

That made me think for a moment.

What if this turns into some cliche chick flick and basically humiliate us when we get there? I do not want to look like a fool in front of my crush on his birthday party! So should I say no? Then again, Darren did invite us, and basically Kylie is waiting for my answer. So without thinking, I answered,  "Fine, we'll go. "

"No dear, I can't have you go to some High school party without supervision. " Mom stated.

"Mom, " I groaned. "This is the first party I constantly want to go to. Plus, this isn't some High school party, it's Darren's birthday party. "

Mom eventually doesn't want me to go to the party. She said that Dad and her have to go to some event and they intend to take me there. It's an event being held in honor for their success. And trust me, I know it's going to be boring.

"Sarah, " Dad began, "This is an important event for your mother, and your presence is required there. "

"Daddy, I'm sixteen! Do you think that I'm going to enjoy in those kind of events? " I whined drastically. I really needed to make an appearance (even though nobody will notice my presence ) at the party. Everyone from my school is going there. Yep, even the certain nobodies.

"No, that's why you have to try it, Sarah." He said sternly.

"No. I'm not going to that event whether I go to the party or not! " I argued further.

"Sarah, " Mom warned.

"Mom, I never get invited into any parties my whole life. It just turned out that the most popular kid in the whole school invited me himself! "

"Sarah please,"

"No! " I finally said before stomping to the stairs to get to my room.  Whether they let me go to Darren's party or not, I won't go with them to any event.

With a frown on my face, I hastily grab my laptop and opened my Skype account, dialing Kylie's number. A couple of seconds of ringing, she finally answered and her face popped up on my screen.

"Hey, why the long face? "

I sat there mute, leaving her with her own guesses.

"Wait, don't tell me your parents didn't give you permission to go to the party tomorrow?!" At that, I nodded.

The rest of the chat went on, with me telling her what happened with my parents earlier. She flipped out a bit, but I didn't hear her rant about my parents. It's not surprising since she has a grudge against my parents from what happened between them when we were fourteen. It was not a pretty picture.

"So what are you gonna do? Everyone is going. Well not everyone since you won't be there. " She joked, but failed to make me smile. If ever, her statement made my frown worse.

"Exactly. But even if they won't let me go to the party, I still won't go with them in a boring old event. "

"I agree. "

She scrunched her nose in concentration, until her face lightens up, indicating that she has a plan. And I know that nothing good ever comes out in her ideas.

"I got it! " She exclaimed.

"What? "

"Cinderella situation! "

At that, I literally stood up from my seat, "Oh please, Kyles, then what? I drop my hairclip then Darren comes out and finds it after our dance then he announces it all over school that he is finding his mystery girl? You really need to stop watching chick flicks. "

"No, not the actual Cinderella," She said. "It's the situation! Like, you need to get home before your parents do. So when will your parents get home? "

I sighed at her ridiculous process of a plan, clearly to sneak me out. "Around eleven. " I replied.

"Then we get you home on eleven. "

Sigh. I knew this moment would come.

"So what now? The party's tomorrow night. "

"Well, you know what they do.... Sleepover! " She exclaimed rather excitedly, while I feel like falling down from my seat and into a sea of thumbtacks where I will forever rot in pieces.

Sigh. Again.

"So what d'ya think? Pink or blue? " Kylie asked me while putting two dresses up, both short and revealing.

"You can take the corset. I don't see the difference. " I replied as I munch on my potato chips. "What's the point of wearing short dresses that fell into the category of lingerie? "

"It's a party Sarah, " she said, rolling her eyes.

"Obviously. " I muttered.

My best friend huffed before huddling in my closet looking for more clothes.

However, I diverted my attention towards my waiting computer. You see, I have this account on twitter that is always inactive. I mean, I have this account for almost 2 years, and yet I still didn't release a single tweet. This account is meant for stalking and updates, after all.

Scrolling down the site, I could hear Kylie running over my wardrobe for the millionth time this hour, searching for outfits for this upcoming Party. And we still have 3 hours to get ready. After all, Mom and Dad had left the house an hour earlier, giving us enough time to plan for this so called Cinderella Situation.

I don't even know why I had to go. Is it because of my huge crush on Darren? Or is it because of the idea that we're finally recognized and being invited to a party?

On the other hand, Mom and Dad seemed disappointed when I told them that I'm not going with them. And I don't know, maybe I just realised that this event is going to be one of the rare occasions that we get to be a family and be together, for once.

A huge pang of guilt slapped me in the face.

Of course, it was a time when we could get together! How could I waste that!

"So Sarah, I picked your outfit, since you don't like to show much skin, this one will have to do. " Kylie said, holding up yet another dress.

It was pretty, a long sleeved short black dress with a bit of lace at the edge. Kylie chose red jewelry to go with it, along with pink strappy heels.

I sighed, "I don't think I can go tonight, Kylie. " I finally breathed out.

"What?! " She exclaimed before sitting in the bed beside me. "Sarah Marie Cassandria Highland, do not tell me those words or so help me I will not be your friend anymore! "

"Okay Kylie, 1. Do not call me by my full name. My first second and third name doesn't go with my last name. 2. Then why are you being my friend, 3. Are you questioning our friendship? 4. YOU'RE OVER REACTING. " I exclaimed.

With that, she sighed. "It's just a reaction, Sarah. "

I shrugged, also sighing as I take the outfit from her hands and walk towards the bathroom in attempt to change. After washing my face and changing, I applied smokey eyeshadow and pink lipstick, just to go with my shoes. I also drew the eyeliner below my eyes, then set my blonde hair in it's usual messy state. Noticing some freckles around my nose, I applied foundation and Concealer to hide it.

Satisfied with my current look, I emerged from the bathroom to meet my already fashionably dressed friend.

Kylie wore a shiny pink strapless dress that went 3 inches above the knees and has a red ribbon on the waist. She also wore black net stockings and topped it red Chanel boots. She looked like an emo considering her make up being all black eyeliner with a slightly red lining on her thin lips.

"You look absolutely gorgeous, Sarah! " she exclaimed before wiping her non-existent tear away. "My baby's all grown up! "

"Oh please Kylie, this is just basically the first party we'll go to.  " I said, rolling my eyes as I sat back down on the computer.

"Uhm' .....it's actually your first party, S. I've been in too many high school reunion with my parents. " she babbled on.

At the mention of Kylie's parents, I also thought of my parents. I'm really having second thoughts on this situation. It's actually the first time I'm going to sneak out, which means I'm totally oblivious to what might happen, or the possible consequences for my lack of experience.

"I'm really not sure Kylie, " I stated in a low voice. "I can't help but feel like something bad is going to happen, "

"Nothing bad is going to happen. I always feel that everytime I make a decision. But nothing did, " she said.

With one final sigh, I stood up,  "It's worth a try, I guess."
