“Will you please pass me the pizza box? Aiden!” I look back from the window to my kitchen table, seeing Darren look at me puzzled. Carra was arguing with something the jerk Dylan said to her. “Oh yeah um here” I pass him the box, my thought still in my head. I look around my kitchen towards the living room where I can hear them arguing. “I hate you! All you want is to make out. Nothing else. You don’t care how I feel! Do you? Well you don’t show it. You try to fix everything by buying me shit!” I can hear carra voice rise. She does have a point. He’s is a jerk and doesn’t care about her. Just what she can give to him. “Fine, I dotn even know why were dating. Again. Were over.” He yells at her. Before slamming the door behind him she yells at him some UN namable names and words that you wouldn’t find in the dictionary. The house is silent except for the screams and laughs coming from outside and the car starting and driving away. Carra comes in smiling. “Are you okay carra?” I unsure try not to get on her bad side. She looks at me smiling. “Actually yes. Im very okay. He’s gone I don’t have to worry about pleasing him anymore I can be myself!” she hugs me and squeals in delight. I laugh fakely trying to be happy for her. She doesn’t notice in her midst of happiness and goes outside to go talk to her friends. My face looking confused looks at Darren who is eating. “What just-?” I try to say. He just shrugs. “Don’t ask. Just be happy dude. Be happy” I laugh at this and go back to staring out the kitchen window. What I see though is not what im prepared to see. I see Sebastian running down the small pool with carra, noticing how carra got to their house so fast, and jumping inot the lake. I see Carra blonde’s hair pop up from the water. And he smile splashing water at Sebastian. Smiling at them playing childishly I look over to the sandy part of it were I see the familiar black hair flowing. Melody is walking slowly down the sad her flip flops in her hand. She calls over to someone but they can’t hear her. I look back to Darren who is now in the phone with sammi, his girlfriend. “Hey I’ll be back.” He doesn’t pay attention for his queen, his very life; his love was on the other line of the phone. I walk back outside the heat unbearable at first. I am about to cross the street when I hear her voice. “Aiden!” I cringe and try to keep walking Maby if I pretend I don’t hear her shell leaves me alone. Probably not. “Aiden!” her screeching voice calls. Yeah she won’t leave me alone. I turn around slowly hoping noshes would just disappears. Nope. “Good afternoon Maby.” Maby Fairmount. The head cheerleader in our school, she and I were friends and we were currently not dating yet to her that means we were. “Hi hon.” I back away. “No Maby” I pull out of her grasp. “We are not “hon.” we are friends.” She tries to pout to me her hazel eyes big and watery, covered in black makeup and ridiculous green stuff on her eyelids. “ what do you need Maby?” she sighs “ oh I was coming over to invite you to like my part tonight like my parents are away to like Romania for like a couple weeks and the like maid comes and like leaves she doesn’t like dare tell. So its gonna be a like seven.” She keeps babbling. How many times did she just say like? Like eight times right! Does she not hear herself? I shudder. I tune back in when she starts grabbing my arm. “So will you come?” I feel my nose scrunch up. “Um sure um yeah I guess.” She squeals in happiness waving at me creepy and try to look hot, saunters back to her friends who are all waving at me. I smile politely and turn around ready to go see melody when I diditn see her. She was sitting down there a few seconds ago. I see all three of them walking back up their driveway. Maby already heading up the driveway calling carra name. I start walking towards them. “Carra!” maybes voice rings through the air. Carra waves over. They talk and carra looks excited. “Oh no” I mutter before making my way up their little driveway hill. “Hey guys.” I wave to all them. Sebastian nods to me and carra tells me that we were invited to the party. I look around but melody was already heading up the porch stairs opening her door. “Sebastian you going?” I ask the dripping wet Sebastian in front of me. He shakes his hair out and smiles. “Wouldn’t miss it, nice way to make friends. I nod. Great that must mean she is going.


I grab an apple from the counter munching on it. This random girl, Maby, her name just invited Sebastian and carra to her party. As usual I was left out. I don’t care she seems like a horrible person to spend time with, and all that perfume is intoxicating after a while. I scrunch up my face. After throwing away my apple core I turn around finding Sebastian and carra laughing about something. Aiden coming in behind them. They all come into the kitchen. Carra hugs me though she is wt. “im going home ei have to go get ready. By!” she hugs Sebastian before running out of the house. Sebastian nods and throws his apple away. “Yeah I got to go get ready, Aiden you going right?” I see him nod. I turn around looking towards the window staring out there window my hands grasping the sink and countertop. He nods once again, I hear my brother walk up the stairs and a door slam. “So are you going?” I turn around walking out the kitchen. “Where?”
He shrugs “the party.
I scrunch my nose. “Um no thanks.”
I can hear him coming after me. I keep walking up my stairs and to the second floor, walking down the dark hallway I hear Sebastian’s shower running and his music blaring from his speakers.

She walks into her room humming a song. I follow her into her room and watch her cross the room to the huge bookshelves. She starts reaching for a book way out of her reach, on her tiptoes I see her reach the bottom of her shirt lifting showing some skin. I look from her skin to her who was still reaching. She finally reaches it and grabs it down taking it she flips to a page her hair covering her face as she takes the book in her hand sitting down on her bed. “Why aren’t you going?” I try to ask. “I wasn’t invited.”
I look at her. “Everyone was invited.” She shrugs and keeps doing what she is doing. I sit down on her rocking chair. “What song were you humming?” She turns back to me and cocks her head to the side. “Um excuse me?” Her face looks curious. “You were humming in the hallway. And just now what was it?” She looks down her face blushing deep scarlet. “Oh um misguided ghost by paramore.” She lays down the book on her face as she reads. Her hair falls over the side of the bed and I stop the temptation of just curling one of her curls around my finger. “Well a red moon is going to be out tonight pretty excited.” She looks up at me. “Red moon?” he voice low and curious. I look at her strange. Didn’t she know? “You know the red moon when the different kinds of us come out and we all party.” She now looks guenuily confused “Different kinds?” I start to awsnswer when her brother comes in and tells her something. She runs downstairs to go do it and I sit there dumfounded. “Don’t tell her anything she doesn’t know yet.” He looks at me. I look back at him. “She doesn’t know?”

I run downstairs to the basement and see two boys in one of the rooms. “Who are you?” They turn around and he looks at me. “Who are you?” I look at them confused. “What are you doing in my house?” they laugh. “Your house? We live here with mom and Terence.” I look at them.” whose mom, “merideths?” they nod and I just stare at them for a while until we hear footsteps downstairs. “Melody?” I can hear Sebastian call and then aidens voice. I head out of there room them following and we go upstairs. Carra was there too and she looks past me at the company. “David! Kyle!” She hugs them and after a few minutes she final explains. Their merideths sons, they live here but they were away to their dad’s house. After a while they and we are okay with each other and as the boys go down to the TV room carra drags me to my room. “So what are you wearing?” I look at her sitting down on my bed. “What am I wearing for what?” she laughs. “The party silly!” I laugh. “Im not going.” She stops laughing and stares at me. “Yore. Not. Going.” I look at her fear in my eyes. “You’re going!” I put my hands up. “Okay okay. Im going!” She smiles. And sits down. Her eyes turn back to hazel from the black they went to. I get in the shower and wash my curly hair. I get out and brush my hair out letting it go down my back naturally I go out and go to my closet getting out a white lace dress I slip that on. It came a little before my knees, it was lace all over with a black satin ribbon under the bust. I slip on my white lace flats and brush out my bangs, going all natural no makeup. I sit down on the bed as carra got ready. She slipped on a black sparkly dress and black heels. Her shoulder length hair cut and her eyes full of makeup. She looked gorgeous next to me. Just plain me. She tries to put some make up on and only successes on some blush and white eyeshadow. We walk downstairs and I go outside on the porch to wait for everyone. I look up at the moon. Its red. I stand holding the porch railings. Looking up. Looking at the red moon.

She’s standing outside looking at the moon. Her hair falling behind her. She looked beautiful. Simple. UN like carra who out dos herself. I look behind me to the guy and carra getting ready to go. I step outside and I hear her mutter “beautiful” I go up to her and mutter right next to her. “Yes you are.” She blushes and looks at me. Her green eyes boring into mine. I blush. “That that was cheesy wasn it. I was trying to like um, you look great tonight by the way um so the moon I told you it was going to be red. Um oh I think I hear my name.” I stupidly go back inside mentally kicking myself. Come one Aiden. You’re a ladies’ man how is this different. She’s just a girl.

The party was in full swing
