Chapter 10 - 9

Roxanne laid on her red velvet bed with the envelope close to her chest 'why should I even bother with such a pitiful party, especially why should I go if I have to wear something that shows my body in crude ways' she chuckled at the thought of everyone staring at her in a swimsuit, theyre jaws would drop low at the sight of her skin touched moonlight "ROXANNE GET YOUR ASS OUT HERE!!" "COMING MOM!!! *fucking bitch*" "WHAT WAS THAT" Roxanne growled, "NOTHING IM COMING!!".

the large woman was sitting on the long leather couch in the large living room with a small bowk of popcorn at her side "can you wash the dishes for me dear, I was hoping to make a lovely meal for me and your father" Roxanne growled "first of all 'mom' That man is not my father, he is a puzzle piece that is trying to fit into the wrong puzzle, he needs to get the fuck out" "dear thats what you think, but he will be staying whether you like it or not" "but-" she was cut off her a bowl flying towards her, thankfully she ducked "you will do as you are told young lady and not bicker with your mother" her voice dark and dangerous, if looks could kill Roxanne would be in hell right then and there. Roxanne slammed her fist on the glass kitchen table then got to work on the dishes "finally, some obidance" her mother snarled, Roxanne took a cup of cold icy water and dumped it on the large women who screamed in shock "YOU LITTLE B-" her stepfather had walked in "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON" he roared "YOUR DAUGHTER IS BEING DISOBIDANT" "OH REALLY" he then pulled off his belt and swung it in the air "you better listen to your fucking mother or i will beat you to the ground with this" he then slapped the wall with his belt which took out little chips of wall, Roxanne wasn't scared though, she stood her ground and glared deep into the mans eyes "come on then...do it" she grinned while watching him slowly place the belt back on his pants "thats what i thought" she chuckled before walking back to her room.

she grabbed the envelope and glared at its color "it doesn't even look like he struggled with this" she then opened the envelope and took out a piece of black paper, the words were written in white 'how cliche' she then began to read 

Hi Roxanne,

i would like to invite you to my house for a pool party, lots of people are going to be there and I think this will be a great opportunity to know each other more and  become friends, there will be pizza, soda, and candy there too so i hope you can come 

from Rodney 

Roxanne chuckled "how pathetic, he expects me to come to his 'party' because he wants to be friends, HA" she laughed out loud before dropping the invite "I don't have time for parties, I have to stay focus at the task at hand" she looked outside her bedroom window, the stars showed her zodiac sign, she sighed before turning back to the small paper "you know, maybe a party wouldn't be so bad, I mean I could really use a break" she then picked up the paper and reading the address...

Friday

12:05 Lunch

Roxanne sat silently at the table with Mason "is everything okay Roxanne, you seem confused about something?" "yeah I am" she then pulled out the envelope and slid it to him "I need info about this, do you got anything?" he took the envelope and glanced at it "let me guess, you got this from Rodney?" "yeah but Riley gave it to me" "well it looks like he stayed up all night with this, smells like slight BO but otherwise not strong enough to smell from miles and the handwriting is very fast so he was in a rush" Roxanne stared at him "damn your good, but can you get me info about the other invites, I want to make a comparison" "alright i will see what i can do" the bell rang "huh, why does time feel like it goes by on the craziest of days" " only God knows"

time went by that day as Roxanne tried her best to get that BOY out of her head, ideas came and shot themselves into her mind but what came up the most was 'does he like me', just like the average teenage girl she started to feel overwhelmed with emotion, she was shocked, how could she have fallen this far down the rabbit hole, she might as well be called insane. her mind was flying higher the clouds, it was touching the stars but heavyweights of her works, plans, and future dragged her ass back down to earth "stop it" she growled at herself "don't think about him, he's trying to make you weak, don't let him" she said as she slapped her self.

THAT NIGHT

Tomorrow was the party, Roxanne had to make a choice now or never but either way, she could never tell her parents for they will assume the worse, they already thought of her as a mistake and a freak s why the hell should she tell them shit about her life. she stared at the moon and stars wondering what the hell to do. she plucked a rose from her side and gazed at its petals 'go' she plucked one 'don't go' she plucked another, and another, and another but she then stopped "BULLSHIT!!" she then threw the flower to the side and began flexing her fingers "why did this have to happen to me, im supposed to be perfect, no love, no nothing" she groaned, her eyes went back up to the stars, she stared at her zodiac stars and smiled sweetly "maybe you can tell me how this story ends" her mind wandered into the darkest parts of her mind as she began to fantasize about her smiling, wearing all the pink she could...she stopped and growled "stop, that will never be me, i cant still be a child i have to grow up" a star shot from sky and dashed past the mighty Taurus constellation then disappeared at the end of Sagittarius's sharp arrow.
