The Slumber Party pt 1

Chris was having a slumber party, it was sort of a like a graduation slumber party, but her official graduation party wasn’t until after graduation, this was just for her girl friends. She was inviting Sacia, Fedora and Sonrisa, who was visiting for a little bit of the summer and to see them graduate.
This was going to be a classic girly slumber party, with scary movies, popcorn and braiding each others hair. It was going to be great. Hopefully.
But Chris couldn’t stop thinking about one slumber party they had, just  a year ago. It was Harriette’s attempt at making the populars and the losers mesh. It was terrible! At one point Fedora left the room crying because Sonrisa wouldn’t stop making fat jokes. The party ended up splitting into two different slumber parties, the Populars and the Losers.
Chris hoped this time nobody would leave the room crying, sure it’s been a year and they were all sort of losers now, but Sonrisa was always going to be Sonrisa.
And well Fedora thought the same, after hearing that Sonrisa was going to be there she refused to go.
“Come on,” Sacia said, “she’s not that bad.”
“But she is,” Fedora said, “and don’t say she changed, because we both know she hasn’t.”
“But she has,” Sacia said, “she’s really grown up to be so much more mature.”
Fedora just laughed bitterly, “I doubt that.”
“Okay,” Sacia said, “can’t you go for Chris? She really wants you to come.”
“Why?” Fedora asked.
“Because she likes you,” Sacia said, “she thinks you’re funny.”
“I’m sure she does,” Fedora said sarcastically, she wasn’t buying any of it. Chris was just like Sonrisa, a bitter ex-Popular.
“Okay what about for me?” Sacia asked.
“Why do I have to be there?” Fedora asked, “It’s just going to be some big ex-Popular reunion. I don’t really fit with that image.”
“Fedora,” Sacia said, “we’re one of you now. You’re like the representative for Unpopulars.”
Fedora laughed at that, “fine I’ll go, but if Sonrisa says one thing about me being fat, I’m leaving.”
Sacia clapped, “thank you!”
Fedora hoped she wouldn’t regret this.
