❤Kayla’s POV❤️
.
I stared at the card in my palm after dropping our tray on the table.. I stared at Melvin.
“Do you really want to go to Kira’s party?” I asked.
“Yeah, why not. You have no idea how much I’m anticipating this, I could say this is the best part so far in my wh0le human journey” he said. I frowned and slowly placed my palm on his. He grabbed his snack.
“What? You don’t want to attend the party?” He asked.
“I don’t know” I shrugged “it’s still kind of really weird that Kira would invite me to her party, I mean I practically disgust them; at least it’s what they say and yeah, I know I got this because of you but it’s still kind of..I don’t just know” I said, wetting my lip.
“She did it cos I asked her to!” He said.
“Yeah, it’s obvious that she likes you but me, she hates me too much to do that” I said.
“So is this a no to the invitation?”
“Maybe..I guess so!” I said, grabbing my cola and taking a drink.
“Well if you won’t attend then I’m not going either. I mean we’re supposed to be together in this and even though I so much want to go, I can’t cos you’re not going. We could just have a home cinema or something”
“Or you could go alone and be extra careful since you badly want to” I suggested.
“I could but I can’t if you’re not there. I mean, I can’t take that risk” he said. “But seriously, are you not going to go cos you’re scared of them?” He asked.
“No, not at all. It’s just that I feel very uncomfortable about it, I mean the partying and all” I emphasized.
“Ah.. You’re a nerd. I get it now” he said and I gave him a look.
“It’s not about being a nerd!”
“It is. Cos apart from that, you have no other tangible reason to reject this, I mean nerds and partying are like one and hundred, not close at all” he said.
“I’m not completely a nerd though, they’re stuffs nerds don’t do that I do” I defended.
“Fun? Do you have fun?”
“Yeah.. Like hell, I do!” I said.
“Well partying is fun, why won’t you do it since you’re different from other nerds?” He asked.
I sighed, taking another sip out of my cola. “Ugh.. Okay, I don’t have to prove anything to you but let’s do it. Let’s say, it’s part of your human journey which is true!” I said and he suddenly smiled.
“Totally!” He breathed out in happiness.

My index and thumb finger m-ssaged the card in my hand as I stared at my reflection in the mirror.
I still can’t believe I’ll be attending a party hosted by Kira tomorrow, not that I wanted to but I got invited and apart from that, it’ll be a good thing for Melvin too. It’d go a long way in his journey..
So I’ll just take it that I’m doing this for him, for us and very much try to get off Kira’s path so I come out of it in one piece and everything can go back to normal after it.
It’s pretty obvious that she likes Melvin but is it that much.. I mean, she has to invite me to her very own birthday party cos Melvin asked her to?
She must really like him tho.
I shrugged it off before leaving the card on the counter. I pulled a jacket on the off shoulder dress I had on.
I wonder what I’ll wear to the party anyways, it’s not like I have any fashionable outfits like them. My closet is filled with what I’ll call satisfiable clothes, at least to me.
I brushed my hair a little and head to Melvin’s place.

The next day, during lunch break, Kira and her goons were at our booth to remind us about the party and I couldn’t help but get more nervous. They left and I let out a heavy breath as the walked past.
………..
The awkward feeling I had since I got that invitation from Kira, enhanced as we drew closer to the venue. I noticed it was a hall, a medium sized but very good looking hall. It had all the necessities of a classic hall and I could see disco light shimmering in the interior part under the early evening darkness.
We got to the gate and was granted passage by the security after showing our cards. We stepped into the building and the first thing my eyes met were the fleet of cars hanging around in the assigned lot, the crazy music could also be heard loudly from outside. I moved my gaze from it to meet few people, teenager mostly with drinks and having little chats.. Their outfits intimidated me but I knew I could never wear something like that even if I get offered..
A felt a soft skin rubbing my palm and I looked at Melvin to see him urging me in.
We walked in and we were in time to see Kira walking elegantly to the front in the beautiful dress she had on.. Her friends stayed back and cameras clicked as she walked to the front and I saw the huge six-stepped different flavored cake being wheeled to her on a trolley.
Suddenly the music stopped and a birthday song tuned the atmosphere.
*
Hours passed, and the main event of the day had been taken, Melvin and I were offered cakes and he insisted that we grab a seat, so we began walking around the large hall, searching for an unoccupied table.. Kira and her friends came to us.
“Hey! I’ve been looking around for you both. I thought you didn’t make it!” Kira said, smiling sweetly at us, no, at Melvin.
“Well we told you we’d come right?” He said, returning her smile while I stood like an unwanted guest.
“Yeah, there’s no way you could’ve missed this, my bad” she said “come-on, I saved a table for you” she said before giving me a frown “and her” she added wryly and grasped Melvin from beside me, leading him forward, I managed to tag along from behind.
We got to a table, very close to the pub and I took a seat beside Melvin while she sat beside him at the other side and her friends left.
“I’ll get you a drink,” she said before signalling to the waiter behind the counter. “They’re here, get them something to drink!” She said to him.
He brought a proferred tray to us and dropped two glasses of wine on our table..
“Come-on,” she urged Melvin, taking his glass for him. I took mine and sniff at it, it smelt like peaches. I took a light sip from it and sincerely, it tasted good.
“Um..I hope it isn’t alcohol?” He asked and she gave him a slight surprised frown. “Why? You don’t take alcohol?” She asked and he nodded “well it isn’t, so come-on”
Melvin drew the cup to his lip and I immediately took his palm from under the table, dropping my glass back, the content a little touched. He took a sip from it and gulped..
“It’s good,” he said and Kira smiled. He took another sip, a big one this time that almost emptied the glass and was just about to gulp it down when I suddenly felt myself being yanked away from him..
Utterly gobsmacked, I looked up to see Jake, giving me an angry look.
“Jake..
I had barely uttered a proper word before he began pulling me with him toward the exit.
“Jake.. Wait.. What’re you..
My beating heart and restlessness caught my words short and roughen it but he kept pulling me with him.. I tried yanking myself off but I suddenly felt too weak for him and dizzy. Before we got to the exit, my gaze moved backwards to Melvin and I caught a glimpse of his abnormality.
“Jake stop!!”

~Melvin’s POV~
.
The noise died down..
The songs, voices now sounded like a thin long blaring straight sound.. It was sour to my ears.
I shut my eyes as a pang of pain stabbed at almost all part of my body, I opened my eyes but everything suddenly seem red and almost blank for my view..
My throat got tied and my vocals weakened.
My palms reached for the table and grasped it as thick red veins began gathering in my palm.. I felt complete pain, a different type .
“What sort of a girl leaves her guy and follows another guy right in the same s₱0t.. Such a bitch!” Kira’s words sounded almost like balderdash.
I stared at my palm, grasping the table and saw the thick red veins running down them, I quickly hid them and muffled up strength to stand up.
“Where are you going?”
Her words weren’t clear but I knew what she asked.
“Rest..room” I stuttered, she said something else but it wasn’t audible enough and I didn’t care, I moved away from the chair before staggering out, staggering to wherever my feet led.. I could feel my lower skin tearing up and giving way to thick furs but I didn’t stop moving, deeply fighting the urge to gro-n and yell ..
Where the heck could the restroom be?!

Be safe guys ❤️
