C6 Chapter6

*Jaëden*

It is 6 pm. I am bored to stay all alone at home, I have to try to entertain myself by going to this party where Cassie invited me. No need to complicate my dress with this silhouette everything fits me. Not that I'm pretentious, it's true; once I wear something, it has value. I open the closet and take just what I see without looking if it fits or not: a tenis balanciaga a black destroy jeans, a shaky shirt. It's ok.

Two houses after mine is his, said Mr. Paul the guard. I enter without the Virgil's asking me any question. It's really lively here. I sit on a bench just in front of the mini bar I see on my left. I take a glass of coca cola. yes coca cola; I don't take alcohol. Ever since I saw how alcohol made my mother feel before she went into treatment I don't touch it anymore. this substance disgusts me. She was getting paranoid in a much worse way than she is now.

*Rachel*

I decided to pull out my phone and reach out to Hannah.

Me: Hello.

Hannah: Hello Rachel

Me: Where are you right now? Grace and I are in Denver Colorado and we are kind of lost

Hannah: ohh I'm at .... I don't know the place very well, I'll find out and call you back in say 2 minutes

Me: ok!

She hangs up

Me: You see grace? This is the shit! What have we gotten ourselves into?

Grace: I'm in shock. I can't believe she did this to us...

Me: I think I'm going to have a panic attack if we stay here much longer. Let's go please, it's risky for girls to stay on the sidewalk at this hour.

Before she could even answer my sentence, Hannah showed up in front of us with Jordan.

Hannah: hello girls

Said she while kissing us. Sorry really for this inconvenience calm you.

Jordan: good evening girls (inside he said OMG you are pretty Rachel; but since his sister was at his side he preferred to keep quiet because she must not have liked it. In fact, he had a reputation of being a bad boy, he was not a serious boy so the best thing for him was to erase his thoughts in order not to attract the wrath of Hannah)

Grace & I : good evening

Grace: tell us where you came from again?

Me : yes that's right explain to us

Hannah: I was at the triple ca party by the way I just came from there and when you called I realized that you might have lost your way so I asked my brother to come here to pick you up

so the new one who was pretending not to be invited came to the party before us!

I'll keep quiet about it.Me: ohhh right. And why is there no noise or music? It's all quiet around here it doesn't look like there's a festive event!

Jordan: Let's go, you'll understand why!

As it is Jordan who speaks I decide to execute without useless discussion.

Of course, it's late but I can see that this part of the city is only for middle-class people. The roads are illuminated, clean, the houses are in tiled floors and matched with barrier of high definition with at the entrance of the flowers of any nature. I had never arrived until this corner of the city.

Me: it is very pretty here

I say gracefully in a low voice so I don't look like a villager in front of Hannah and Jordan.

Grace: yes yes you can say it it looks like we are not in this town anymore but rather somewhere else.

Me: in another country you mean hahaha ( still in a low voice so Jordan and Hannah don't understand).

After a few steps, about 60, corresponding to two minutes later we arrived in front of a large concession with the gates open. Men (3) dressed in yellow suits scrutinized us. I knew right away that we were at the location, but I chose to play it safe.

One of them took the lead and started a conversation.

- ah Mr. and Miss Melingui we are sorry we didn't notice you

And we are forgotten in all this?

Me: Here you are Mr. here is my invitation ticket

Grace also gave him his and he allowed us to enter under the inquisitive eyes of the two other men. Hannah and Jordan must be important then! The two were waiting for us; Jordan was manipulating his phone.

This dealership is really big; the courtyard floor was covered with cobblestones. Right in the middle there was a fountain that looked like the Condrillon Fountain. The flowers were fenced in like the walls. Until now I had never seen anything so beautiful to tell the truth. The question is whether I usually go to people's houses, except for Grace's or my parents' colleagues' houses... well, no.

The building that served as his home is indescribable to me. I would just say that everything in this concession is pretty. So far we still don't hear any noise hum it's suspicious.

As soon as we step on the threshold of this building I feel like I'm in another world, so much music wanted to damage my ears.

How is this possible? Where am I? What's going on here? I just took two more steps and went from calm to turbulence.

Jordan: So that changes everything, he says with a smile.

Grace: You can say it.

Jordan: I'll leave you girls to have a wonderful evening, he says in a barely audible voice

It seems that we were in a wedding hall or a big event of this kind and not a simple party organized by a student to celebrate the beginning of the school year as she said so well. One would have thought that she loves school, but I don't need to comment on that. Despite the size of the room, it was really full to the brim, as if the whole school was represented.

Grace: this girl from Carine must really be rolling in gold

Me: I suspected it but now I confirm

A voice brings me out of my thoughts

Cassy: hello girls welcome I am honored by your presence (with her two bodyguards or more friends behind her: Carole and Carine)

Grace: but we could not miss this under any circumstances.

I was just smiling because grace was doing well after a few seconds, I was able to get out a

Me: you look beautiful smiling

Cassy: oh thank you you too

Carine & Carole: thank you rach

Hum since when did we become so intimate that they call me by my diminutive ? In any case I refrain from making this remark. What was the hidden side of this invitation?
