Sarah's Party
From Create Your Own Story
The shrill bell signifying the end of math and the beginning of your homeroom period loudly echoes throughout your high school’s cavernous halls. Nearly as soon as the resonant tone has stopped ringing, Sarah, one of your classmates and a long-time acquaintance, rises from her desk and approaches you.
“John,” she enquires discreetly.
You reply with a nod and a smile. “Yes?” you respond.
“Tonight I’m hosting... a party of sorts at my house. Are you free?”
“A party? Well, I’m not generally the party type, but I suppose I could go...”, you say astoundedly. You are rarely ever invited to parties in school, let alone those held by classy girls.
“Well, yes. I mean, my parents will be away, and it’s a fundraiser for the Community Service club as well. Just bring a few dollars to the door, and, well, I think you’ll really enjoy it.”
“Well, I think I’m free tonight night. It’s alright that I come?” you ask timidly.
“Of course!” she responds enthusiastically. “We all want you there actually,” she whispers with a wink.
“Oh, well, thanks!” you say nervously. “Should I bring anything?”
“Hmmm... Condems?” she suggests.
“Uh...” you stammer. You weren’t expecting that sort of reply from Sarah, who, despite her beautiful body and passionate personality, is known by the whole school as a straight-edge and straight-A student.
“Yeah, that’s better off. Just in case, you know...” she says. “Well I have to go now, but please come. Here’s my address!” she says, handing you a folded piece of paper. She slowly walks away, turning just once to throw you a wink and a tiny, sly smile. You realize that for the first time ever, you notice just how tight her contours fit into her carefully-chosen outfit of the day. Your apprehension is replaced by excitement as you wait out the rest of the school day.
Finally the ending bell rings and you feel that heady rush come to you again as you fantasize about Sarah’s mysterious party. On the sheet she gave you, it wrote that the time was from “eight-ish till whenever”.
