Invited to her party.

I shook my head to remove those thoughts. "There's no way Linda would betray me right?"

Time flew and the bell rang for dismissal. I packed my stuff and I went home. I got to my room, dropped my bag and I jumped on bed. I felt so bored. I closed my eyes to sleep but then I got interrupted when i heard a sound, but I ignored it.

I heard it again, then I opened my eyes and I tilted my head to the side. I saw some kind of light flashing from my drawer.

I stood up to open my drawer and I saw the light flashing from my phone. I stretched my had to pick it up. I pressed the button to switch it on and then I saw something like "You've got a new message".

"It must from Jerald but why would he text me again? " I thought. I didn't have interest in texting him so I dropped the phone on the table and I jumped back on bed. Two seconds later I heard that same sound.

I felt frustrated "What does he want, I'm not Cole! " I said to myself. A thousand popped into my head "I can just mute my phone right? ". I put on a smirk and I picked my phone and I pressed the powers button.

I put my finger on the powers button but then it slipped and clicked on the message notification which opened up the message.

"ugh!"

I muted the volume but I couldn't resist the message "Only two seconds" I thought to myself.

I took a quick glimpse at the message and something got me very interested, the message "Hey Ella, Its Linda".

In a split second my face beamed up, i took my phone, jumped on the bed with my legs over each other and a pillow in between them.

**On the Phone

Linda: Hey Ella it's Linda. Sorry to bother you, I just wanted to ask you something.

{"Bother? Oh please bother me girl" I thought to myself. I wanted to say so many things to her but I just decided to act natural so

wouldn't think am weird}

ELLA: Is about English studies?

LINDA: No...something else

ELLA: Oh..uhm.. what is it about

LINDA: re you perhaps interested in parties

ELLA :hmm..i don't really know cuz I've never been to one...why do you ask?

LINDA: Oh...

I didn't get any reply for the best five minutes and it made me really restless "oh..?why did she stop that? did I really say something wrong? "

Believe it or not, those simple thoughts almost made me tear up. I looked back at my phone and I saw two new messages and it made me smile. "oh muted the volume" I increased the volume so I'd receive a sound notification next.

****

LINDA: I just wanted to....oh never mind

ELLA: Aww tell me, tell me, tell me! you just me curious

LINDA: Okay, Okay my birthday is tomorrow and I'm throwing a party. I always throw a party and I always invite others but you're new so...

ELLA: Ohh Yes I wanna attend..can I?

LINDA: Of course! :)

ELLA: Yay!

LINDA: yeah..sorry I can't talk any longer, I need to go prepare for my party. Bye! see you tomorrow.

LINDA: Okay, Bye!

I put my phone on my chest and I smiled wide. I felt my heart beating so fast. "She.. she invited me to her birthday party" I whispered to myself.

Without even realizing it, I jumped off my bed and I started stomping my feet on the floor. I was so happy. I was so immersed in jumping for joy that I didn't constant knock on my door.

Someone opened the door and came in, it was mum. I put on a big smile showing my teeth and I went up to her. I gave her a tight hug and I said "I love you mum!"

She gave me a confused look and replied "I love you too but why are you saying this?". I laughed out "oh mother, can't I say I love you anymore?" I said as I held unto her arm.

"Well mum, can you help me pick out a party cloth" "So this is why you're so happy, uhm..?" She smiled. "Please mum, please mum, please?!" I wiggled her showing her my puppy eyes.

She gave an expression of defeat "okay okay fine, I'll pick out one for you by tomorrow morning". I hugged her tightly as I said "Thank you! Thank you mom".

"Now please can you get out of my Room?" I gestured her to the door. "Alright! Am going sheesh" she replied jokingly as she went towards the door.

She turned her head back to me and said "dinner will be ready in ten minutes, please come down for dinner" "okay mum" I replied as I watched her close the door.

I opened up my drawer and I took out my bestee. I took a pen, sat down on my bed then I wrote:

""Hey bestee! I think she's finally acknowledging me! She texted me today and she also invited me to her birthday party. I know what you're thinking, double combo right! :)

Am so so happy right now. Oh am sorry I haven't talked to you in a while. Am so so sorry, I just started blabbing things about myself without even apologizing.

I'll try to talk to you more from now on, no promises though because am a little focused on Linda. I'll make sure I look very beautiful for her tomorrow! :)

And about school, I met this new girl, Evelyn. Well she isn't new it's just that I haven't seen her before, she's cute especially when she smiles.

Can you believe she thought I wanted to commit suicide? Yeah, absurd right. She's got a really unexpected backstory that even involves Linda. About that backstory, it sounds too wicked to be true, in fact all what am hearing about Linda is....""

Then I stopped wring because I heard mum call out for me "Linda!! " "yes mum" I shouted in reply " "Come down for dinner!!"

"Bye bestee, I have to go eat dinner"

I dropped my diary and my pen into the drawer. I ran downstairs and I sat down at my side of the dinner table.
