Her friends were in a heated argument but her mind was anywhere but there.
"Josh's party was the dopest last year"
"Taarh, what about Samuel, that bi...."
"Samuel's birthday just had alcohol and disco lights, finish!" Emmanuella interrupted.
"Exactly!"
Anita hissed. "I still prefer his own" she said the last part with an eyeroll directed at the head girl, her dislike clearly evident on her face.
"How come no one's talking about Grace, her birthday is coming o"
Ifechi's ear perked up involuntarily at her name, Dami noticed her newly found interest.
"Ify when is your birthday?"
"Hmm?" She peered up from her physics workbook.
"Your birthday o, when is your birthday?" Anita repeated the question, a little impatiently.
"Oh, erm...1st why?"
Dami's eye widened. "1st of December?"
"Yeah why"
The three other girls exchanged knowing looks.
"What's wrong?"
"Girl..." Emmanuella was the first to speak.

"Oh okay..."

"Says who?" She asked with a scowl.
"She's right. Grace's party are like the highlight of the first term, everyone looks forward to it, yunno her dad is rich, she spends loooottts on her parties and I'm talking lots, barbecue, cotton candy and the food is buffet style. They even installed a hot tub for a pool party last year"
"Remember last year's chocolate fountain" Emmanuella asked dreamily and Ifechi felt her lips twitch into a scowl.
"Ow it's even true, Omo that party lit forget"
Ifechi didn't know if it was jealousy that tugged at her chest, but her breathing suddenly became hitched. She tore her eyes away from her friends who were still blabbing about how dope the party was, while she wondered if she should throw a party to prove them wrong.
