She wasn't just mad about the Thomas thing. That evening, the town was preparing a birthday send off celebration for Chase, considering he was at that age. It was one thing she didn't want to think about, and with the kiss from Thomas ontop of that...
She was a hot mess. Her mother yelled at her, scolded her and threatened not to let her go to the party. But nothing was going to keep her from going, her mother knew it, and she cleaned up quickly at home before slipping into a simply dress, one that afforded no real color (as her family hadn't that kind of money) but was a simple, sleek design and looked nice on her.
Rare was it that she ever wore such a thing, but she wanted to... She didn't know, let Chase, at least remember her as a girl and not just another 'one of the boys'. But she still felt.. awkward as she approached the city tavern, where she was already hearing the laughter from the others coming from inside.
