A party that changes a life

Someone knocked on Chloe's apartment door. She got up from the sofa where she had been watching the news while her pizza dinner cooked. She answered the door.

“Hello.” She said. A young woman was at the door. She had blond hair and green eyes.

“Hello, my friends and I are having a party and we were wondering if you wanted to come.”  

“Um well…” Chloe started.

“Here is the invitation. Please write yes or no in the box below and send it back to this address.” The woman pointed to the address at the bottom of the paper. “Thank you.”

The woman handed the invitation to Chloe and left. Chloe walked back to her sofa and set the invitation down. She then went to the kitchen and got her pizza out of the oven. As she sat down to eat she thought about the invitation sitting on her sofa. She hadn’t gone to a party in a long time. She wanted to go, she really did but she was nervous. After dinner she called her sister. Her sister was always good at helping Chloe with these situations. Her sister answered.

“Hello.” 

“Hi Katie, I have a problem.” Chloe said

“Oh hi Chloe, what is your problem?” Katie Chloe's sister said.

Chloe then proceeded to tell Katie the entire story. When she was done she asked

“So what should I do?” 

“ You should go to that party. You haven't been to one in forever.” Katie told her.

“But,” Chloe started to say.

“No buts go.”Katie said.

“Ok fine.” Chloe responded.

 She hung up with Katie and looked at the invite. The party was the next day at Tumble Tech. She quickly wrote yes in the box and went down to the garage. She got in her car and drove to the address dropping the letter in the mailbox. Then she went home. 

That night she tossed and turned. She had so many questions. What would the party be like? What should she wear? Who would be there? She was a nervous wreck. When she woke up in the morning she showered even though she knew she would probably get sweaty at the party. She put on a baby blue tank top and a cute pair of shorts. She was going to wear her sandals but at the last minute she decided to wear tennis shoes. She had no idea what to bring to the party so she settled for a bottle of wine for the host. She ate a breakfast of eggs and bacon and then went down to the parking garage and got into her car and began driving to Tumble Tech. 

When she got to Tumble Tech she parked and went inside. There were so many people. She was wondering through the crowd when someone said

“Hi, what's your name?”

Chloe turned around. A beautiful girl was standing behind her. She had chocolate brown hair, blue eyes, and was wearing a super cute dress.

“I’m Chloe.” Chloe said. “What’s your name?”

“I’m Emily.”

“Nice to meet you.” Chloe said.

“Nice to meet you too. Do you need help finding wear to set that down?” Emily asked, pointing to the wine bottle in Chloe's hand.

“Yes please.” Chloe responded.

Together they walked towards a table that had food on it. They talked the entire way getting to know each other better. After they set down the bottle Chloe asked

“What is your phone number?”

“It’s 652-314-7345.” Emily said.

Chloe took out her phone and typed Emily’s number into her phone.

“Thanks!” She said.

“Of course.” Emily replied.

“I have to tell you something.” Chloe said.

“What?” Emily asked.

“This is my first party in a while.” Chloe admitted

“Oh well that’s ok. Are you liking it so far?”Emily asked.

“Yeah I am.”

The 2 girls spent the rest of the time at the party talking and having fun. Emily introduced Chloe to a bunch of new people.When Chloe went home after the party she had 15 new contacts on her phone. When she got home she plopped down on her sofa to call Katie. Katie answered the phone.

“Hey Katie.”

“Oh hey Chloe, how did the party go?”

“You were right, it was amazing I have 15 new contacts in my phone and tons of new friends.”

“Omg I am so happy for you!”

“Thanks.”

“Well I have to go for a late dinner. Call you tomorrow, Chloe!”

“Ok bye.”

Chloe hung up the phone and sat down thinking about the party. She was so happy that she had gone to the party. Katie had been right; she had needed it. She turned on the tv and was just about to start watching when she got a call. She looked at the caller id and realized it was Emily. She answered.

“Hey.” Chloe said.

“Hey, sorry to call you so late but I need a ride tomorrow for another party while my car is being fixed can you take me? You can come to the party with me as my guest.” Emily said.

“Ok sure.” Chloe said.

“Thanks.” Emily said.

“Of course” Chloe responded.

After Emily hung up Chloe turned on the tv and watched her favorite show for a little while before she decided to call it a night. She went to her room and showered, brushed her teeth, put on her pjs, and got into her bed. 

That night she had a dream. In the dream she was driving to Emily’s surprise birthday party that Chloe had planned. She came inside and everyone greeted her. She knew everyone and when Emily came in and they surprised her Emily hugged Chloe. Then they celebrated and laughed and talked. Sometimes it was just Chloe and Emily, sometimes they had a bunch of other friends around them talking. It was a great dream and when Chloe woke up she felt nice and energized. She went down stairs and heard the doorbell ring. She opened the door and saw a gift sitting in front of the door. There was a card. The card read

To Chloe

Thanks for being great.

Emily

Chloe brought the gift inside and went to the kitchen table. She was so excited!  She opened the gift. Inside was a new dress and the invitation to the party that Emily was going to.She had invited Chloe. Chloe was so excited. Katie had been right about going to that party. Chole now had a bunch of new friends and probably a new best friend.
