I never intentionally wanted the party, it was my dad that pushed me towards the idea. He told me "You can finally make some friends Naomi. We can provide alcohol and the house and all you need to do is invite people from your school."

"There is no way I am having a party, this is an important year for me and I don't want any distractions." I responded to him. "Anyway I do have friends , Charlotte and Katie."

Charlotte and Katie were in fact my only friends. They were in my Biology class and I was seated next to them on my first day. They said I could sit with them at lunch that day and I had been doing so for the rest of that year. I occasionally met them outside of school but very rarely and we had a group chat that I would sometimes participate in. That day I decided to message them:

NAOMI - my dad wants me to hold a new years party at my house haha x

It didn't take long for my phone to beep.

CHARLOTTE - omg you totally should your house is perfect for it x

She was right, I basically lived in the biggest house in our whole town, thanks to my dad being the head of a big company that sold toothpaste. It was embarrassing but on the plus side we never ran out.

KATIE - i agree with Charlotte i could spread the word if you want x

Katie was one of those people who wasn't popular but wasn't unpopular either. She was basically friends with everyone who went to our school. She told us she preferred to stay away from the spotlight because she said it made people 'change'. I didn't really understand her though because I'd never even talked to someone who was rated 'popular' before.

NAOMI - I doubt anyone would want to come x

KATIE - no harm in asking x

And after that I pretty much forgot about the party, until new year's eve anyway.

"Okay so I told everyone there was going to be alcohol but bring some more anyway." Katie explained, as she and Charlotte lined up the beer cans along the kitchen island. "We should have enough right?"

I nodded "Hopefully, dad said if we run out we can always go down to the basement and there should be some more down there. I doubt that many people are going to come anyway."

My parents had left for the weekend to go to some company party in New York. That's probably why they wanted me to have this party, so I wouldn't be alone for the new year like usual.

"Well Amanda's lot said they're coming, which means everyone will be coming I bet." Charlotte said, counting the beers."We got 100 beers here that's more than enough I reckon."

I didn't know Amanda personally but I had seen and heard a lot about her and this is what I knew:

- She was the most popular girl at Waterhill High School

- She reminded me of Regina George from 'Mean Girls.'

- She has a constant group of 'popular' girls following her around.

- She has dated pretty much the whole football team.

- She's a bitch.

When I heard that she was coming to my party I was surprised and thought that she was winding me up but then Katie explained how a boy called Derek was previously throwing a new year's eve party but had to cancel because his parents found out. Now the thought of her and her 'squad' being at my party scared me a little.

"What time are they coming?" I asked Katie, who was practically the organizer of this party.

"I said around 8ish but they'll probably be here later, Amanda never arrives on time to a party." She explained. "Now what are you wearing, you better not tell me you're going to stay in those jeans."

I looked down at the ripped black skinny jeans I had planned on wearing. "What's wrong with them?"

They both looked at each other. "You better show us your wardrobe."

After 10 minutes of the two girls exploring my wardrobe, whilst i sat on the bed and watched and shook my head to everyone they suggested, Charlotte picked up something "what about this?"

"Show me." Katie said, examining it. "Oh my god, you have got to wear that, its gorgeous."

I stood up and saw the little blue dress my auntie had brought for me a few years back. "Seriously?" The last time I had worn that dress was at one of my fathers big company gatherings I had to attend. It was very short and I remember my mother giving me a cruel look the last time I had worn it. "It's a bit too slutty."

"I promise you Naomi, everyone at the party will be wearing dresses way shorter than this." Charlotte said, putting the dress on my bed. "Now shoes, what do you recommend Katie?"

Katie glanced down towards the dress and contemplated for a few seconds. "Heels or flats, either will work."

I got up and went down to my shoes drawer and picked out the shoes my sister had given to me for my thirteenth birthday. They were small, light blue heels that I had worn with this dress before. "How about these." They both looked at me and smiled in unison.

A few hours later, after Charlotte and Katie had fussed around with their makeup and then mine, we were finally ready. They were both wearing low cut tops with long skirts that stopped right before the knees. They always wore similar things, most people would mistake them for twins because they were so alike, it had always made me feel like the odd one out, the one they didn't really want there.

It was nearly 9 o clock and no one had showed up yet, I started to worry but Katie told me not to. "Like I said, they never come on time."

Just as she finished her sentence, the doorbell rang. I didn't want to move, for a second I considered running upstairs and avoiding the party but I knew I couldn't. I moved towards the door, I could feel Katie and Charlotte watching me. I shut my eyes and opened the door. "LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED" someone shouted into my face and hundreds of people rushed into my house.

It wasn't long before all the beers I had left out on the table had gone, but Katie had said everyone had brought loads with them too. Loud music was pumping out of my speakers, that had been barely used.

Two girls, who I didn't recognize, came over to me, shoving a beer can into my hands. "This party is mental."

I opened up the can and drank it in one shot. "Thanks."

And that was the last memory I had of that night.
