"Are you coming tonight" said the tomboy virsa ,of course he will come with me and not a dirty slut like you,you know something why don't you look for a nerd boy and a guy guy to go to prom with , because I know that nobody will be willing to go with a slut like you and don't even dare to talk to James again because if you so I will make your life a living hell and I have a lot of ways to do so, you know what I mean,right?

“Break a woman” by Faith Benson

"Are you coming tonight?" Norman asks as he gets dressed. As the owner and CEO of NORTECH, the leading tech company in Nigeria, He has to show for these work dinners and events and connect with prospective investors. I on the other hand am merely his social media manager and can conveniently miss out of the drag. He always said he envies me and my hermit ways but I suspect he doesn't hate it as much as he claims. He is sitted on the white chesterfield in my living room. The one he got for my 25th birthday. Along with every other item in the ...

“Are You Coming Tonight?” by John Steckley

Submitted to Contest #104

Two male colleagues are leaving their office building late on a Friday afternoon stop, as one, name Fred, the taller and more muscular of the two, asks the other, named George, “Are you coming tonight?” George’s Internal Voice “No, no, no. I don’t want to go to the office party.” George’s External Voice “What are you talking about Fred?” Fred “The party to celebrate the boss’ birthday. I’m surprised you don’t know about it.

“a drop in your ocean” by Flic Deacon

Submitted to Contest #104

"Are you coming tonight?" She shuts her book, closes her eyes, and sighs. Just like I knew she would. "I knew it! I knew you'd back out! You promised Micah you'd show, Ives, but you're holed up in here again. Don't you think you should show to one of their parties this term?!"She's glaring at me now. Full Ivy. It's like being looked at by the bleeding sun. "Don't be an arse, Bee. You know I've got that presentation tomorrow afternoon. I have to, you know, psych myself up for it." I tut. "It's true! You know what I'm like the morning after a ...

“The Archer's Ball” by Susan Whitlock

Submitted to Contest #104

"Are you coming tonight?" Lucy glanced over at her mother, who was getting a manicure from a small woman with Asian coloring, but pink hair. She wanted to say no - she would not be coming to a senior citizen dance where she would be pitied by ninety-somethings who all had dates when she did not. She wanted to go home and eat her way through pimento cheese crackers and trail mix. And binge watch The Good Fight. Her mother, Hester Mae Dorchester, drilled her laser black eyes into Lucy's forehead, daring her to say no. Her manicurist wriggled...

“If you come you’ll have to decide if your Introvert or Extrovert” by Kathy Landes

Submitted to Contest #104

The phone rings. It sounded really loud because I had been on the computer and no one was home so the ringing jarred me out of the quiet. Caller Id showed a friend so I answered. “Are you coming tonight?” “Am I coming were?” I replied. “To the town meeting at the community center.” Oh, is that tonight? I forgot” Well you should come it’s kind of expected of you.” “Well, if you see me there then you’ll have your answer.” We chatted a little more and then I hung up and turned the phone off. Merriam Web...

“Docile” by Arizain St Paul

Submitted to Contest #104

“Are you coming tonight?” The words cut through the darkness of Jade’s room, illuminating her face as she reads them. She groans and looks out the window to the street below. It’s from Claudia. Claudia has messaged her like this numerous times over the past month. Jade’s phone screen shows that it’s a very one-sided conversation but she’ll go anyway. There is a chill in the air when she escapes her taxi. Her heels crunch the gravel to the entrance of Excentrique restaurant and bar. She’s on autopilot, her feet deft...

"Are you coming tonight?" Texts Melissa. "Coming where?" I replied. "For planning the camping trip!..hmm, did you forget?" "Ohh, I'll have to check with my mother about that," I stated. Well, you see, it's not my mother. She already said I could go, but I'm just a little hesitant. What if I don't fit in with the cool kids? What if I get lost?! Melissa, Annie, and her brother Andrew invited a couple of other classmates and me to this mountain camping trip, but I'm not sure if I want to go. Don't get me wrong; I'm excited about the opportunity...

“You're My Beautiful Introvert” by Laashmita Saravanan

Submitted to Contest #104

“Are you coming tonight?” is the text that she hoped he wouldn’t send her. Kira tossed and turned in bed restlessly as she thought about tonight’s Valentine’s party at Aaron’s house. She was debating whether to procrastinate as she always does or just give it a try. As she still laid in bed, even though it's midafternoon, she found it incredibly difficult to fight the urge to procrastinate this time, almost as if she really wants to go for tonight’s party. Well, this is indeed surprising because Kira Haiden is the biggest and most typical in...

“So the Story Goes” by Elizabeth Camp

"Are you coming tonight?" Lys looked up to see Thea's round, smiling face poking in through her tent's flap. "No, I think I'll just stay here. Have a quiet night in, you know." The smile disappeared. "What? I mean, I know I asked, but I was kidding! I didn't think you really wouldn't go." Lys gave her dearest friend a quizzical look. "Why are you so surprised? I've been talking about this for ages." "Well, yes, but it's one thing to talk, and another, much huger thing to just not go to the ritual we've been preparing for our whole lives!...

"Are you coming tonight?" Carver asked as he straightened his bow-tie, his every movement reflected in the rectangular mirror glass of the Victorian armoire in front of him. His slacks and suit jacket paired well with the black lacquered wood and gilt embellishments of the wardrobe, making him look like a member of a royal family."You should know the answer to that," Shirley said as she watched him from her seated position in the red velvet armchair. " I just thought that maybe you'd enjoy the fresh air, or the company of our friend...

“Drunk Texts” by Molly Scully

Submitted to Contest #104

“Are you coming tonight?” “Sarah…” “No. I will not take no for an answer. Enough is enough, okay? I gave you a few days to cry and stay in bed in sweatpants and eat pizza, and now it’s over. Get up!” “That was harsh,” I say as I drag my legs over the side of the bed and sit up. Sarah has her arms crossed at this point, and I stare daggers at her fingers tapping against her upper arm. “I’m going.” “Go faster,” she says as she grabs my arm and pulls me off the bed. “We are going to have a great time tonight!” I feel like sh...

“no.” by Mi E.

Submitted to Contest #104

--Are you coming tonight? The dreadful words lit up on my phone screen. The first words I had received from my friends in the last two weeks. I hesitated to answer. I couldn't just decline with no explanation. That would be rude. But it was my friends who were asking. I had tried many times to explain that sometimes I just did not want to hang out, and they always told me that wasn't a real reason. It wasn't because of them. It was never because of them. Often times, it was because I simply didn't want to. Was that so bad? Was wanting ...

“Excuses” by Kannika Pena

Submitted to Contest #104

“Are you coming tonight?” Words I thought I’d never hear again. Especially after all the endless lockdowns. And still, why did it send a shiver of panic down my spine? It’s been years since I’d heard it — you would think I would forget all my impulse reactions to any sentences or words that implied socializing, and yet there it was: the milli-second of scrambling the back of my brain for the usual excuses, wondering which one I’d used more recently, just so I could avoid it, just as a courtesy to the asker. And yet I realized, the last tim...
