"I am not talking about my sixteenth birthday! Okay?" I exclaimed to Lia.

"Oh yes, you are! This time I am not letting you get away!"She interjected.

We carried our lunch trays to the centre table, it was a Tuesday! I rejoiced these days when I didn't have to be alone. Lia stared in disgust at the food that looked like a pea-potato mash with something that I suppose was chicken. I opted for packed lunch instead.

"Is it too late to become a vegetarian?" She asked me with her eyes focused on the wrinkly meat.

"Nope."

She suddenly stood up on a table and my eyes popped as I face palmed, what on earth was she doing? It worried me a lot.

"ATTENTION FELLOW STUDENTS!" She announced, everyone turned to look at her in curiosity.

"Lia what are yo-"I tried to reason.

"I AM GOING TO TRY BEING A VEGETARIAN!"

Everyone whooped and cheered, there were a few 'Good for you!' and a couple of 'Good lucks!'. She sat down with a grin on her face. I forgot sometimes that the whole school liked her, who didn't?

"The whole world needed to know that, didn't they?" I muttered to myself.

"There! Anyway, let us talk about your sweet sixteen!" She squealed excitedly whilst my face dropped.

"No."

"Yes!"

"No."

"Yes!"

"Ok! Fine! What do you want to talk about then?"

"Who are we going to invite?"

"You and I, like every year."

"But... It's your sixteenth birthday!"She argued.

"Who else likes me in the school?"I asked.

She thought to herself for a split second, then she grinned ear to ear. I started to panic, what is she going to do now! She stood in all her glory, on the table. Her pastel pink pumps facing my eyes.

"ATTENTION GUYS AGAIN PLEASE! She hollered.

Everyone stared in anticipation again leaving their conversation. She is like the Queen! Seriously, it is crazy. Realization hit me like a truck as I knew what she was going to say...

"Lily is going to be sixteen!"

Everyone was silent as nobody knew who I was and the people that did know didn't care.

"And everyone is invited come! BUT! Tell me first and if you don't you can't come! Stand up if you want to come!"

Still, the silence remained as I continuously gulped down the perpetual lump in my throat, now I officially hate my best friend.

"Com'on guys!" Her expression changed from optimistic to a sad expression featuring her puppy dog eyes and her little pout.

"Wai-" I started.

"Naww!" An echo filled the cafeteria, and that ladies and gentleman is something that can not believe. Ever. How on earth can a face change a whole school's mind?

Some girls stood up and then a group of boys stood up then like a chain reaction everyone stood up as if they were volunteering to come to my party. My eyes widened in shock. Lia climbed off the table with a satisfied smirk across her lips. While she was climbing off my attention turned to the one person who didn't stand up, but I didn't even know who this person was. All I knew was that he is a Homo-Sapien and a very good-looking male; I abruptly went back to Lia as she rested her head on my shoulder without warning.

"Whacha think? Now everyone is coming apart from him." She pointed at the person I was looking at too she also said it like it was a sin to defy her and as insistent as she is, she had the nerve to walk up to him. She is never contradicted ,usually, because it is basically social suicide! As cheesy as it sounds it's the honest truth.

As she walked the poor guy didn't have enough time to mentally or physically prepare himself, I stared in pure curiousity wondering what she was doing. Unluckily or luckily, I was in earshot as he sat with his friends on the table next to us. When Lia's presence was noticed by the guy, he looked at her for a moment and turned his head to continue the conversation with his friends but there wasn't anyone to converse with as all his friends immediately zipped their mouth shut at the sight of the most popular person in school. So he turned his head back to Lia reluctantly and stared with a bored and annoyed expression. It was obvious the guy was a new person to our school. I kind of pitied him in all honestly!

"I don't like you, new boy." Lia stated as she sat down on the spare seat opposite him, not caring if anyone looked.

"And? I don't get the point."Said the guy, in the hottest voice I have ever heard. But it was quite evident Lia didn't find his voice hot.

"Well, new kid. You have a lot to learn about this school then. So if I were you I would suck it up, get your act together and go to the damn party." She literally hissed. That was scary from afar so it must be terrifying up close.

"Hmm! Let me think about that! Nope! I don't care!"

"You have a lot of nerve for a new kid!" She chuckled.

"My name isn't new kid, it's Joe."

"Whatever! But! What was your old high school? Your a transfer student right?" She said out of the blue.

Surprisingly he was a tad nicer too, even I couldn't comprehend any of the conversation.

"Elk Creek High, Yes."

"Oh! Do you know Amber? Or Cindy? Or Ally?" She burst out in excitement for a brief moment before going back to her 'I hate you' expression.

Elk Creek was the school around five miles away from our school, Oak Ridge High. There was a strong tie between our school and theirs as the headteachers are the best of friends so the two schools do a lot of activities together like School Trips, Sport's Day and other possibilities of things together so the heads can use it as an excuse to have a get-together in the staff room as we are forced to do the activities with a bunch of people we don't even know! Trust me, it's awkward. Lia, being Lia makes friends with everyone, well... almost everyone. So she has good friends from the other school.

"Yes and yes and again yes, is that it?"

"Ugh. I doesn't change the fact that I hate you! You better be there otherwise you will not ever, I repeat, ever have a social life." After finishing her strange ut threatening conversation with hot-voiced guy Joe, she proudly strutted back to our table.

"And that my dear friend is called a twisted form of getting your way, also known as blackmail!"
