Chapter 19 - Relulctant Partygoer

• TALIA
• I didn't want to, but the more I protested, the more it became clear to me that Olivia was not going to give up.
• It was ironic how I was the older one, yet she had pushed me into so many things since our childhood. At eight, she made me put a dead fish in the driver's seat of our dad's truck. At eleven, she made me tear down the curtains and ruin the stage settings during a school play that the mean and nosy girls in my class were leading in, just so that we could get back at them for making fun of my bun. At fourteen, she convinced me to cheat in a test that I was not ready for, and I got caught sadly. At sixteen, I was in high school and Olivia made me catfish a guy who dumped me for some 'plastic bitch' as my younger sister had termed her, and now, here I am, at 25, and Olivia was forcing me to go for a house party that I had been protesting so hard against, for the past few days and there was sadly nothing much I could do to avert the situation.
