I stare at the glass mirror which reflected what I looked like, and for the first time in a while, I was happy with what I saw. My bright blue eyes gleaming back at me happily as I felt confident in my outfit.
Before me stood a girl wearing a white dress with long sleeves, a golden necklace and black boots that were only ankle length. The dress was open from the neck to the centre of my chest, criss-crossing over my cleavage (which I barely even had) like laces on a shoe. It was tight and hugged every small curve, leaving my body looking nicer than usual.
I was proud of my friends for their choice in clothing. I thought the dress would look slutty, and just plain stupid on me. Instead, it looked elegant but modern, working nicely with my naturally tanned skin tone.
My very long black hair was placed into loose curls that fell around my waist perfectly and my makeup was subtle yet more than I was used to wearing. Usually I couldn't be bothered wearing it, it was too much effort to put on.
But I felt beautiful, and for the first time I looked beautiful.
I was in Amy's house, sitting on the bed in her room. Both her and Em went downstairs to get the party started and Em planned on collecting me when she felt it was full enough so I could make a "grand entrance."
My best friends were total drama queens.
At first I hated the idea of a birthday party, but as the week went on I grew excited for it only because of my friends. Who clearly proved that they loved me very deeply by organizing the entire thing.
Every day leading up to the party was stranger than usual. Monday, my boyfriend got knocked out by Hunter, but I'm pretty sure everyone in the school already knew that.
Tuesday, Hunter didn't come in and I felt really sick for unknown reason, it never really went
away - I just started to deal with it as I felt my stomach move around and make strange noises. Was probably just early cramps.
Wednesday, Em started acting strange and then yesterday I caught Hunter smiling at me, grinning with the perfect teeth that he had. I had to admit, it sent butterflies up and down my stomach but he beat up my boyfriend. Whatever he was trying to do, clearly wasn't going to work on me.
I could hear the music from downstairs and could feel the bass hitting my feet. Em had paid for a DJ who was from the next town over, which happened to be very far away since Darkfall was quite isolated. Some Justin Bieber song was blasting very loudly, desperately making me want to dance - but I'd rather save that for the party.
I could hear footsteps coming up the stairs, slowly continuing until the reached the door to Amy's beautiful bedroom. Honesty though, she could've ditched the barbie dolls that were stuffed in the corner. Only Amy, I laugh to myself .
My birthday was tomorrow, which was why the party was tonight, they wanted everyone to be here at 00:00 when it became my birthday to celebrate. A bit like New Years Eve of some sorts.
"Ready to go birthday girl?" Em speaks in a funny voice, opening up the door to collect me with a large smile on her face. Maybe it was me but her smile looked forced. And before we leave I quickly glance over at the clock which read a simple 8pm.
"Let's go." I smile, standing up to take her hand. She walks me down the stairs to a huge crowd that were all drinking and dancing, some more inappropriate that others. Amy promised not to serve alcohol, she was a goody-to-shoes. But that didn't stop everyone else from bringing their own.
Cheers rang as I descended the stairs causally, the only reason they cheered was because most of them were already drunk. And I couldn't help but blush at the new attention I was getting. Most of these people had no idea who I was.
I land in the arms of my boyfriend who was wearing a white shirt and tight black jeans. From his wide eyes I'd assumed he'd began drinking early.
"Hey baby." He says with a drunk grin, he was completely out of it, struggling to stand and falling about all over the place. It was embarrassing as others began to point and laugh.
"I didn't know it was your birthday." He laughs, looking like he was going to collapse into my arms at any moment. My hands gently trace his black eye and he winces before pulling away.
"Yeah Ash - you did," I sigh at his drunkness,
"You gave me my present at lunch today!" I found myself shouting over the music.
"You look so sexy!" He mumbles, grabbing my arms to dance with me. At this point another Justin Bieber song had came on, and my drunk boyfriend was now singing very loudly and out of Key.
With the amount of Justin Bieber songs that had came on, I'd assume we were listening to Amy's Spotify playlist. No one seemed to be complaining.
"I'm the ONE, YEAH." Ashton cheers, causing serious laughter all around. Me, now seriously getting fed up with his behaviour. Found a seat and sat him down on it, leaving him there to deal with his own issues.
He still continues to sing as I walk away, and I found myself laughing to myself at how much of an idiot he was. But he was my idiot.
"Happy birthday Cecelia!" A girl I barely knew shouts at me as I made my way through the crowd.
I catch Amy's eye as she calls me over with her hand, a great big grin on her face I make my way through the crowd in her living room to the kitchen where both her and Em were sitting down at the counter. On my way over I must've been told happy birthday about 12 times, the majority of people didn't even know me, three of them looked over 21.
"Look at the amount of presents you got!" Em points at the table which was stacked with mainly cards but a few small boxes here at there
"Cheese and ice-cream...I barely know anyone here." I smile, surprised at the outcome of presents. Usually people came to parties to drink, not caring who's it was. Invited or not.
"Come on girls!" Amy shouts while walking into the party, her long ginger hair crimped gorgeously down her back. It was long, but not as long as mine.
"Let's Party!" She shouts, dancing around and shaking her hips inappropriately. In less than a second Em was beside her, deliberately trying to steal the attention she was getting to annoy her.
I stood at the side, laughing at my best friends who were as equally gorgeous as each other and can't contain a smile as I accept how happy they've made me.
Without any option, both girls grab my hands and drag me to the centre of the living room to dance. The music freakishly loud but none of us seem to care.
All three of us were getting whistled from boys and snarky, flirty comments which the girls blushed at. I knowingly had a boyfriend and roll my eyes at them, they knew too.
Every one of us brushed them off, not caring about boys and only about each other. Ashton had passed out on the couch and was getting hit repeatedly by his friends to see if he would wake up. At one point they began stacking plastic cups on his head, they were currently at 7.
I found myself struggling for air in the tight, packed room and instead went outside to breathe.
But I felt sick, really badly sick.
My stomach felt like the inside was all shuffling around and my eyesight felt like it was becoming blurry which caused my head to start spinning.
I couldn't focus on anything and both Em and Amy came outside to check on me. Amy looked worried, but Em looked at me as though it was completely normal - which scared me further. Why was no one caring?
I resort to sitting on the curb, my head being held in my hands and my feet sore from dancing. Painfully, I pull my heels off my feet and stretch my legs out onto the road.
Em sits beside me, giving me a faint smile.
I found myself starting to deal with the pain and as I stood up properly and looked up at the moon. A natural instinct that I had no control over called me to in what felt like the first time in a thousand years.
The moon on the night of my seventeenth birthday, happened to be completely full.
Werewolf action next chapter guys ;)
