This is, a, party?

For the first time in my life, I was unsure of what I was doing. Was this going to work? 

What was even a party, anyway?

I walked around the room, unable to calm down. I had no answers. 

Merin sighed. "You really are hopeless. It'll just be a get-together of sorts. We'll drink some milk, listen to some music, chit-chat, and be done with it. That's all, so calm down." 

"Easy for you to say!" 

I'd never partied before. Of course, I'd been to celebrations but all of those were large scale and had loads of different food and stuff, but what did I have? 

I didn't even have the usual things parties had, like balloons and stuff. 

Needless to say, I was freaking out. 

"Keep it up and you'll end up with high BP for the rest of your life." Merin mumbled. "And you'll drag me down with you."

'I heard that you know!'         

With a sigh, I sat down on the bed and tried to calm down. But it sure wasn't working.
