To say that I was excited that I would have a chance to hang out with Stacey and her friends was an understatement. I was giddy the morning of, and it lasted until I arrived at her house. It was huge, as I had imagined, and she had great taste. There was a clear theme with the decor, which was pure white contrasted by a distinct purple. When I arrived, I was greeted with a flute full of booze and a cheer from the girls.
“Allison came, yay!” Claire said. She bounced on the balls of her feet and wrapped her arms around me tight.
The other girls surrounded me and they all said their hellos. There was four total. Claire, Destiny, Lily, and of course, Stacey. They led me into the house and we sat down at the dining room table and we chatted about a multitude of topics. It was fun. The girls had an aura of elegance but it also felt down to earth, and at times very relaxed. After a while Lily even took her shoes off and propped them up on the couch she was sitting at. I sat there quietly and took it all in, twirling my hair between my forefinger and thumb and going over what I would say if called on in my head so I was prepared.
