Tag: Out of Sync

This is the continuation of a story started earlier. Summary of previous action in the story: Olivia has always been popular at school. One day, she was seated next to a kid who offered to help her. Not wanting to seem very friendly (she had her own friends!), Olivia refused. The girl, named Audrey, accepted her refusal as an answer and smiled. Olivia and her friends—Sandra, Brittany, and Lisa—started pranking Audrey after that day. They were not being mean, they reasoned. Just funny. On the day of Olivia’s thirteenth birthday, Audrey was invited with the rest of Olivia’s class. Olivia does not want her there.

Of course, there would be other people coming too. My mom made me invite the whole entire class to the party. I was so mad at her for that! She said that she didn’t want any kids to be left out. I said what did it matter–it wasn’t like I would climb to the top of the school and yell out who was coming to my party! I said so, too. And do you know what she said? She said, “Olivia, it would be the polite thing to do.” And without even asking me if it was okay, she went ahead and invited everybody from my class. I guess asking the boys to come was okay, especially the cute ones. But then she invited everybody else. She invited Audrey.
