Friday, 4th of April

Dear Manny,

Do you remember Bryce Verity's birthday party last year?

Well, it's his birthday tonight but I'm sure you already knew that. He's having one of those massive parties and I'm kind of freaking out about it.

I haven't grown out of my introvert attributes at all despite how ashamed I am of it. I haven't been to one of his parties by myself in over ten years. He invited me, but I think it was just to be polite.

Remember how we never really got along?

I can't wrap my head around the fact that he has invited me of all people, especially since the last time I went I accidentally pushed him into his Transformers cake.

I did apologise like you said to, but he brushed me off. He was pretty mad that day and all you could do was laugh.

At my expense.

So, you're probably also wondering why he bothered to invite me and not because I was your plus one.

I'm not sure the answer to that.

I so don't want to go tonight but mum said I should go so I guess I am going. I think it's going to be one big disaster though.

Mark my words.

Tonight, is going to be a long night.

Sincerely,

Alyson Summers.
