Getting ready
After hearing his response I asked "Can I go to a party and sleepover please?"
"Will your friend Malee be there."
"Yes"
"Okay you can go but don't come back to late." I went to my drawer and took out a jar that had a bunch of lucky origami stars that I had made shortly before and placed it in the present box I had make alongside the necklace.
4:50pm
I went to the closet, grabbed some clothes and put it in my small travel backpack. Then I texted Malee "You ready?"
"Yup I'm on my way there." The typing bubble disappeared the reappeared. "I'll meet you there." "Oh okay see ya" I grabbed my bag and put my shoes on. I walked to my father's room and knocked on the door. "Come in." He said sounding tired. I carefully opened the door "I just want to say bye I'll be back Sunday afternoon."
"Okay son" "Bye Pa." He waved then I quietly stepped back closing his door slowly. I walked out the house.
5:05pm
I was halfway to Thorn's house riding my bike when it started raining. I hadn't remembered that Thorn had said it was going to rain today, and forgot to bring and wear my jacket and hoodies I was freezing. When I got there Thorn and Malee were standing outside talking I guess they were waiting for me. When they spotted me they wave I got closer then parked my bike. I was trembling.
"Why are you wet?" Lee asked "Well isn't it obvious I forgot my jacket and hoodie." Thorn grabbed my wrist and pulled me in the house Lee followed close behind we walked into a room that seemed to be his bedroom he sat me down on a chair and Malee sat on one of the two beds.
Thorn walked away and went to his closet he pulled out a hoodie and shirt and handed it to me. "Here! Go change I don't want you to catch a cold, if you do we won't have any fun :( the bathroom is over there." He said pointing to a door I got up and went to the bathroom and changed into Thorn's clothes and my pair of sweatpants I'd brought. I stepped out and the moment Lee and Thorn saw me they started chuckling but Thorn tried to hide it "I nev-er realized that you we-re this small hahah." "That isn't funny" I said to her pouting.
"Okay that's enough let's go have some fun all my other friends have arrived."
"Oh I almost forgot" I said. I reached into my bag and took the present and handed it to him
"Thanks tiny."
He said he messed with my hair then pulled the hoodie over my head. He put his arm around my shoulder then dragged me with him. Malee was still chuckling while following us he led us to the living room. There were 3 girls and boys they looked to be having fun they girls looked at me smiled and waved friendly so did 2 of the other boys did the same but one of them stared at me with discontent I couldn't help but be uncomfortable so I grabbed Lee's arm.
She noticed how I was feeling and said to Thorn "So when are you gonna introduce us to your friends?" He smiled the pointed to the first girl she had black short wavy hair and pretty dark brown eyes.
"That's Pang." She waved ecstatically she seemed friendly and I could tell I would along with her easily. He then pointed to another girl sitting next to her that's Sara. Sara had her brown hair in a braid she didn't seem that interested in her introduction but she looked up and half smiled at us.
I looked at Malee she didn't seem that interested in Sara as she was when Pang was waving. Then the last girl said
"Hi I'm Amber!" She said very happily. She was very pretty. Then Thorn turned to point at the boys these three idiots are Sun, Alex, and Fin
The one who stared at me with discontent was Fin he seemed to be familiar to me but I couldn't remember where.
I knew Alex already because I'd seen him sitting at lunch with Thorn. Sun had a baby face which suited him very well and he had a very bright smile I wanted to be friends with him just because of it. Finally we all walked into the living room Thorn was still pulling me. We sat down on the couch I pulled my legs up and sat cross legged. I didn't want to eat today but it seems Malee was gonna ruin this plan "I know you like these." She said handing me strawberry pocky which was one of my favorite things in the world "Thanks Lee" "Of course Nattie such a cute baby voice."She pinched my cheek and pulled it.
"Aww stop it" I said swatting at her. Amber, Pang, and Sun were smiling at us they got up and handed presents to Thorn he put them aside and started opening them up one by one. While he was doing that I started to eat a few pocky but only a little because I didn't want to eat too many calories. He grabbed Malee's present first she made him a hand made realistic bear sculpture she was really good at that kind of stuff.
Then he opened up the others then finally he grabbed mine. He opened up the box the necklace was in and grabbed it thanks he said smiling at me he put it on the he picked up the jar of stars. He looked at me and my necklace "Oh now we matched. " He said nudging me in the shoulder but he did it without removing his hand from my shoulder.
"That's so cool! How many are in there?" Sun asked " 1,000 I replied" he looked surprised " wow how long did that take Amber and Pang both asked at the same time." "I can't really remember." I said laughing at the end. This was fun I seemed to be getting along with Thorn's friends easily, he placed all his gifts on the table then said let's have some fun! We all played games, sang, laughed, and smiled ate cake and candies way too many calories and sugar but I didn't want to seem weird so I ate some now I'm way over my calorie budget. it was one of the best days of my life though.

Thorn
Everyone was tired. "Guys this was so much fun, let's get some rest." I said everyone got up and dragged themselves to their rooms only me Malee and Nat had remained "Can you help me I can't wake Nat up and he's too heavy for me." She said "Sure." She smiled "okay thanks she headed to our room I carefully lifted him up she he wouldn't wake up he grumbled I walked to our room Malee was already in bed. " You can place him right beside me" I put him next to her then switch the light off. Then I dozed off.
Nat
I was sleeping then I heard a big boom it was the sound of lightning striking the ground I shot up quickly, I was breathing harder usually I enjoyed storms but today it scared me. Then I heard a voice "Tiny? What's wrong?" The raspy voice come from Thorn. He sat up he looked worried he patted on his bed gesturing for me to come I slowly crept out of the bed and headed to his and sat bring my knees close to my chest. "What's wrong" I didn't respond. "The thunder ?" I nodded a little he put his arm around my neck then put my head on his shoulder he messed with my hair a little "It's fine he said." That's all I remember before blacking out into a deep sleep.
