CHAPTERFOUR_PARTY OF THE DECADE

September 12, 2032

 It’s now Saturday. Rachel arrives at her best friend Cheryl’s house. She was wearing her sweats, and carrying her bag filled her clothes for the next day. Earlier, she was asked to join Cheryl for a sleepover, and Rachel agreed.

 But as soon as Rachel arrive, Cheryl opened the door. Cheryl dragged Rachel to her room. Then Cheryl took off her robe, revealing a sparkly, very short, very revealing spiked-shoulder dress. 

 Rachel asked, “Cheryl, what are you wearing? You look like you’re going to a club.”

 Cheryl said, “I’m going to Nathan’s party of the decade, and you are too!”

 Rachel crossed her arms, and said flatly, “I’m not going to that party. Nathan is one of those mutants, remember?”

 “Seriously, you’re going to that party, and you’re going to get with Nathan. Besides, he seems very human.”

 “I binged-watch Perfect Beings, and those mutants are terrifying! Do you know they act like those werewolves when it comes to their mates?”

 Cheryl laughed, “Seriously? You’re now starting to believe that Nathan is a werewolf?!”

 “Well, he IS a mutant!”

 Cheryl sighed, and said, “Look, my parents told me about Gen-Mods. They’re harmless people. And Nathan seems to like you. I haven’t seen him claim you as his mate.”

 Rachel sighed, and said, “Fine, I’ll go to the party. But we are not to tell my parents.”

 Cheryl smirked, “Why do you think I invited you to fake sleepover?”

 Rachel chuckled, and allowed Cheryl to dress her up.

 At the Hartsfield house, Ellie was on her tablet, watching the season four premiere of her second-favorite Gen-Mod, Extreme Beauty. It was on HBO, and it had a lot of gory, bloody sex scenes.

 Then suddenly, Aaron burst into her room. He was wearing his black, fitted, torn jeans, a black shirt, and a black spiked vest. Ellie looked up. She took out her earbuds, and asked, “May I help you? Why are you wearing your badass clothes?”

 Aaron replied, “Cuz I’m going to Nathan’s badass party! That’s why! And you’re coming with me. I need a designated driver.”

 Ellie sighed, and said flatly, “I’m not going to that mutant’s party. Especially if that blonde mutant guy is there.”

 Aaron sighed, and sat on her bed. He looked over to see she was watching Extreme Beauty. So he snatched her tablet, and closed the video. Then he said, “Seriously, you need to stop watching those Gen-Mod shows. They’re stupid, and it’s making you hate the Gen-Mods.”

 “Aaron, aren’t you worried that those…things will one day attack us? Claim you as their mate? They’re like werewolves, but worse!”

 Aaron scoffed, and said, “Okay, since when are you into that werewolf genre?”

 Ellie rolled her eyes at him. Aaron continued, “You heard what mom and dad told us, that Gen-Mods are harmless people. As for the mate thing, they probably have regular relationships as we Normals do.”

 Ellie sighed, and said, “Aaron, I’m not going to that party! End of story!”

 Aaron then got up, dragged Ellie to her feet, and walked her to her closet. He told her, “As your big brother, you’re going to this party. Who knows? Maybe you’ll finally like that Declan dude? I like his sister. She’s cute.”

 With that, Aaron left her room. Ellie huffed as she stared at her closet.

 It’s now after nine. Aaron and Ellie arrived at Nathan’s house. As soon as they entered, Aaron told her, “I’m going to find me some booze. It’s not a party until Aaron Hartsfield shows up.”

 Ellie asked, “So you’re gonna leave your twin sister alone?”

 Aaron spots Declan, and said, “Go to Declan. He seems to have a thing for you. Besides, I highly doubt he’ll bite your head off. You watch too much of that crap.”

 And with that, Aaron walked away. At the same time, Rachel and Cheryl entered the house. They saw Ellie. Cheryl asked, “Hey Elle! This party is so cool, yeah?

 Ellie gave a fake smile, and said, “Yeah, of course.”

 “Now, if you’ll excuse us, I’m taking Rachel here to Nathan.”

 Cheryl then dragged Rachel to Nathan, who was by the stereo system. His iPod was plugged in, and it was blasting a type of pop music. It sounded like a combination of hard dubstep, and late 1990s/early 2000s pop music. 

 Nathan saw Rachel in front of him. He smiled, and said, “Hey Rachel! Isn’t this music the best? Who would’ve thought you can combine dubstep with vintage Britney Spears pop?”

 Rachel gave a fake smile, and said, “I guess that producer was a genius.”

 “So, how’s this party? Epic, right?”

 “Well, it’s only the beginning, yeah? So…we’ll see.”

 Nathan grinned, “Well, I’m glad you came here.”

 Rachel gave a smirk as she asked, “Really? Do you fancy me?”

 “You asking if I like you? Of course! You’re a cool girl.”

 “Really? You think I’m cool?”

 “Well, yeah. I don’t know. You seem…different. I like that.”

 With that, Rachel blushed. Then she told him, “You’re not so bad yourself.”

 Nathan gave her a smile. 

 At the same time, Ellie stood there at the entrance. She wasn’t sure what to do. Then she saw Declan, standing by himself, holding presumably a water bottle. She sighed, and walked up to him.

 He saw her walking up, which made him smile. He asked, “So you came to the party of the decade?”

 Ellie said, “Yeah, my brother dragged me here. I just wanted to stay home and binge-watch on Netflix.”

 Declan chuckled, and said, “I’ll admit though, you look very beautiful.”

 Ellie was wearing a very short studded miniskirt, and a very revealing halter top. She smirked, and asked, “So, are you popular at Kingsbury Academy?”

 “I guess so. I never really paid attention to all that.”

 Ellie smirked, and then she kissed Declan’s lips. Suddenly, everyone saw this kiss, so they took out their phones, and snapped photos of them. 

 With that, Declan pushed her off. He looked at her weirdly, and asked, “Why did you kiss me? Did you kiss me for attention?”

 Ellie’s face grew red. She knew she did this just so she gain popularity. Then she looked at Declan. She saw a hurt expression on his face. So she said, “Look, I’m sorry, Declan. You know I’m new here, and I have to become popular here.”

 “By using me?” he asked with irritation in his voice, then he stormed off. Ellie sighed as she rolled her eyes.
