Sonrisa pt 4; “Is this a party?”


Party time Part 1
Sacia Moretti and Sonrisa Rivera pulled up to Harriette’s house. Sonrisa looked around as Sacia parked the car and saw that other people were here too, a lot of other people.
“OMG, is this a party?” Sonrisa said excitedly, turning to look at Sacia.
“Come on.” Sacia said, opening her door.
Sonrisa quickly opened her door and jumped out, she looked up at the huge house in front of them and looked back at Sacia. “Seriously?”
“Come on.” Sacia said again. Sonrisa followed her into the house, she looked around the small room they entered.
“Is this a party?” Sonrisa tried again, Sacia just laughed and lead her into another room and her question was answered. There was loud music playing and a bunch of people were there. Sonrisa looked around and saw a table full of snack and cupcakes.
“Sonny!” Harriette Brown said walking up to Sonrisa and hugging her. Harriette looked at her as they pulled apart, Sonrisa shifted nervously, hoping she wouldn't notice that she gained weight
“Harriette.” Was all she could say back.
“You look... Great.” Harriette said, “come on, let’s get some cupcakes. They’re your favorite, red velvet.”
“Oh, yumm.” Sonrisa said, she glanced at Sacia who was looking back at her nervously. They all walked through the crowd to the table full of snacks and cupcakes, where Tamarai Brown and DaeRi Baek were waiting.
“Hi, Sonrisa.” Tamarai said. “Welcome back.”
“Yeah, welcome back.” DaeRi said.
“Hi.” Sonrisa said.

Outside Fedora Bannister and Bryan Bannister had just arrived. Once inside Fedora walked up to the food display, and saw Sacia.
“Hey, Sacia.” Fedora said,She noticed Sonrisa was talking with Harriette and her friends.
“Oh, hey.” Was all Sacia said.
“What’s wrong?” Fedora asked, glancing at Sacia who looked worried.
“Nothing.” Sacia said, putting on a forced smile. “Everything is great actually, this party is awesome. Have you tried the cupcakes?”
Fedora eyed her suspiciously, “no, I just got here with Bryan.”
“Oh.” Sacia said, looking over at Bryan, who was eating.
“How is Sonrisa doing?” Fedora said, getting a cupcake off of the table and taking a bite.
“Good.” Sacia said. “She looked so happy to be here, this party was an awesome idea.”
Fedora laughed, “I wouldn’t trust Harriette if I was you, this is all too nice. There has to be something behind it.”
“Ugh, shut up.” Sacia said, rolling her eyes and walking away.
“Touchy.” Fedora said to herself. She took another cupcake and left the room, she wanted to find Collin Brown, Harriette’s twin brother and Fedora’s other old best friend. She thought he might know what Harriette was up to.
She went upstairs and knocked on his bedroom door.
“What?” He asked through the door.
“It’s me, Fedora.” Fedora said.
“Oh, come in.” Collin said.
She walked into his room and sat on his bed, where he was sitting. “Are you drawing?”
“Yeah.” Collin said.
“Oh, hope I didn’t interrupt you.” Fedora said, taking a bite of her cupcake.
“Oh, no. It’s fine.” Collin said
“Good then.” Fedora said. “So, do you know what Harriette is up to? I mean seriously, what is up with the random charity for Sonny.”
“She wanted to. She thought it would make people like her better if she was nicer to her.” Collin said, shrugging.
“She’s never nice to me.” Fedora said, finishing off her cupcake. “I don’t get her sometimes.”
“You don’t really get her all the time, who does?” Collin said.
“Yeah.” Fedora laughed. “Well, I’m going to get back to the party so I can get more cupcakes.”
“Bye.” Collin said.
“See you later.” Fedora said, walking out of his room. She knew Collin was right, Harriette was just trying to boost her popularity by being nice, but it still felt wrong.
“Now I need to figure out the problem with the cupcakes.” She said to herself as she walked back into the party room. She walked right up to the table and saw that everyone was gone. She took another cupcake and scanned the room for Sacia. She saw Sonrisa dancing with Harriette and her friend and suddenly noticed something different about her, she had defiantly gained some weight.
Fedora remembered how she looked before she left, she was probably the skinniest girl here. She knew that was a clue about where she went. One step closer. Finally she saw Sacia talking to Bryan in the corner.
“Hey.” She said walking up to them. “No worries, Harriette is just being Nice. To boost her popularity, but nice anyway.”
“I wasn’t worried.” Sacia said, rolling her eyes.
“Fine, these cupcakes are fabulous.” Fedora said, finishing off her cupcake. “Does Sonny like the cupcakes?”
“Well, duh.” Sacia said. “They are her favorite.”
“Fine.” Fedora said, shrugging. “You’re not really in a good mood today are you?”
“I’m fine.” Sacia said. “I’m gonna go see what Sonny is doing.”
“See you later.” Fedora said, then she turned to Bryan. “Hey.”
“Um, hi.” He said.
“Have you tried the cupcakes?” She asked.
“Yeah.” Bryan said. “They’re good.”
“Well, duh.” Fedora said. “Though I’ve always been a fan of plain chocolate cupcakes.”
“Yeah.” Bryan said.
“Have you seen Sonrisa yet?” Fedora said. “She gained weight, I can tell.”
“So?” Bryan said, confused.
“Just Saying.” Fedora said, shrugging. “I’m going to go get more cupcakes.”
