Party of Regrets
As the sunset, Lake Charles was eloped in darkness. Children and familes began to get dressed to go trick or treating in the nasty weather outside. Mackenzie on the other hand was not getting ready quite yet. She stood in her bathroom, mumbling to herself if she was making a good choice to go to her friends birthday party tonight. The brown haired girl knew if she wanted to she could just stay home. The soccer team invited her to go on a haunted trail as well, so it wasn't like she would have nothing to do.
Mackenzie paced around the bathroom. She wiped her sweaty hands on her jeans and grabbed her costume off the toilet. "Maybe Tallulah's friends will like me." She said to herself. The girl pulled out a pirate costume and smiled. It was the first time she had actually gotten to wear the boys version of anything and to say she was excited was an understatement. She quickly got dressed into her dark red costume, taking a minute to check herself out in the mirror. Mackenzie smiled into her reflection. "Not too bad Kenz, not too bad."
The night had just begun for the high school freshman. She wasn't a very social person and prefered staying home and working on her biology homework way more than trick or treating. The girl was a nervous wreak. Her palms were always sweaty and she was constantly checking the time on her phone. The ride over to Tallulah's house was no better. Mackenzie ranted to her mother, trying to contain herself as they searched for the house. Many time the short haired girl found herself clutching the warm container in her lap till her fingers started to turn white. She had to bring a dish to the party and wanted to make an impression. You can understand her mother's suprise when the girl created spagetti tacos.
As they arrived at the small house, Mackenzie felt her heart race. She took a deep breath and opened the door. "Are you excited?" Her mother asked. It was obvious her mom was excited the girl was hanging out with friends for once. The girl stood there for a moment and nodded. "Y-Yeah." She paused. "I think I will have fun." Mackenzie's mother nodded. The woman made her way to the front door, her daughter not far behind her. Mackenzie stopped in front of the large wooden door. There was a large "M" on the front of the window. The mother gave her a look. "Are you going to knock?" Mackenzie's eyes widened. She turned towards the door, staring at it. This door is the only thing between the teen's social life and private life. Mackenzie had no clue where this door would take them. They raised up a shaky fist and knocked softly. There was a moment of silence before the door knob began to open.
Mackenzie heart started to race as she made eye contact with beautiful blue green ones. The red haired girl smiled at Mackenzie and her mother and waved. The shy girl felt like she had melted in her spot. "Hey you're Mackenzie, right?" She asked. Her voice was music in the air. "Y-Yeah thats me." She giggled and continued to smile at the pair. It was at that moment Mackenzie was positive she wanted to know every detail about this girl. She was enchanted by the sound of the beautiful girl's voice. Its too bad Mackenzie didn't reconize she would be the wrong person to fall in love with.
A year from now all hell would break loose and Mackenzie would be broken back into the privacy of her room.
