The Battle of the Parties pt6; “What about your party?”


The day of the party came quicker then Fedora expected and she was not prepared. All through the school day Fedora tried to ignore that she had to throw a party that was supposed to be way better then Harriette’s, which was not going to happen.
“Hey, Fedora.” Harriette said, catching up to Fedora in the hallway after school.
“What do you want?” Fedora asked, not stopping for Harriette.
“Your mom called, she said she couldn’t get a hold of you and to tell you that she doesn’t want you coming home right after school.”
“What!” Fedora said, annoyed. She had to get home, she had to set of up for her party. “I have to.”
“Well, sorry.” Harriette said, looking apologetic. “Maybe you can hang out with Sacia or something.”
“Whatever.” Fedora said, walking away. She knew her mom did this on purpose, she wasn’t a fan of the whole party thing. She caught up to Bryan in the parking lot just as he was about to get in his car.
“Can I hang out with you for a while?” Fedora asked. “My mom banned me from the house.”
“What about your party?” Bryan asked.
“Yeah, I know.” Fedora said. “This is just confirmation that she hates me.”
“Well, sorry,” Bryan said. “I can’t, you know my parents. They want me home early.”
“Oh, well.”” Fedora said, like it didn’t matter. “Bye.”
“Yeah.” Bryan said getting into his car. Fedora watched as he drove away.
Fedora sighed and turned to her own car. The party was already going terrible, and it hadn’t even started.

“Are you sure?” Tamarai asked Harriette. They were over at Harriette’s house, Tamarai and DaeRi thought they were going to set up the party, and they were right but it’s not exactly the party they planned.
“Yep.” Harriette said brightly. “She hates me and I have to fix that.”
“Okay, whatever you want.” DaeRi said, but honestly DaeRi thought it was a terrible plan, it was practically destroying the tradition, tradition was something DaeRi was very fond of.
“Well, come on!” Harriette said.

After stopping by a small restaurant and getting two slices of cake, one chocolate and the other red velvet, and a pumpkin spice flavored hot chocolate while watching a couple fight across the room, Fedora decided to just go home, she had she wasted enough time and it was getting dark.
As she pulled up to her house the first thing she noticed was that her mom wasn’t even home. Finally Fedora could get to setting up. The second thing she noticed was that the lights were on inside, which meant Bentley must be home. Third thing she noticed was that Bentley’s room lights were not on, which meant someone else was home. Could be his dad.
She went in and was shocked to see the place completely transformed into classic halloween party, she paused at the doorway and thought about it. Could this be her moms doing? did her mom actually care enough to do this, nah. It was defiantly someone else. And as she turned the corner to the living room she found out who.
Harriette and her friends were hanging bats from the ceiling and didn’t even notice Fedora’s arrival.
“What are you doing?” Fedora asked, slightly confused and angry.
“Helping!” Harriette said, jumping down from the step stool she was standing on. “I felt bad about your party so I decided to help you. We’re joining parties!”
“More like giving our party to you.” DaeRi said.
“I don’t need your help.” Fedora said, crossing her arms. “And I don’t need your party either.”
DaeRi glanced at Tamarai and Tamarai shrugged, they knew this would happen.
“Well, I wanted to.” Harriette said, “you’re right, you could have done it yourself, but I wanted to help. Because I over reacted about the parties, so now I am apologising.”
Fedora sighed not really feeling up for a fight she said, “okay. Apology accepted.”
“Really?” Harriette said, smiling.
“Sure, whatever.” Fedora said, shrugging.  She was actually sort of relieved that her mom didn’t actually kick her out of the house and that she didn’t have to actually have to do anything about this party.
“Yay!” Harriette said, jumping up and down. She ran up and hugged Fedora. Fedora wriggled out of the hug.
“Okay, none of that.” Fedora said.
“Okay.” Harriette said, pouting. “So, we already set up everything, so all you have to do is enjoy!”
“I hate you.” Fedora said, laughing.
“You know you love me.” Harriette said.

Sacia was shocked to see such a put together party when she arrived early to help set up.
“What is this?” Sacia asked. “You didn’t do this yourself, did you?”
“You caught me.” Fedora said. “This is all Hariette’s work.”
“Harriette?!” Sacia asked, confused. “Why would she do that.”
“To apologise I guess.” Fedora shrugged.
“Oh well, don’t tell anyone else that.” Sacia said.
“Well, of course not. Harriette would kill me, so instead I get all the credit.” Fedora said.
“That’s good, you deserve it for how mean she is all the time.” Sacia said.
“Yep.” Fedora said.
Soon the party started to fill up, Harriette had sent emails to everyone telling them to go to Fedora’s house instead. Of course everyone was hesitant but because Harriette said so, they came.
Of course Harriette won the costume contest as a princess and DaeRi got second place as a school girl, which really was not that different from what she wears all the time. Fedora dressed up as a vampire and Sacia went as a devils angel.
The party went great and afterward Fedora and Harriette went over to Harriette’s house to steal some candy and hang out with Collin, just like the old days.
So even though it started out as a terrible Halloween party, it ended great.
Happy Halloween.
