It's time! Tashi is starting her invitation list to her annual birthday party A.K.A the BIGGEST party of the year! You make it on that list, you are officially somebody. If not, you try again next year and be the loser that has to hear second-hand stories.
This year, you decide that you are going to that party. But everyone knows, in order to get an invitation, Tashi has to KNOW you and LIKE you. So that's your mindset as you see her walking down the hallway, about to pass your locker.
Do you:
[[Wave at her and smile with confidence]]
[[Start walking with her and make conversation]]
She makes eye contact with you and looks at you with disgust and quickly walks away. Why would you wave at her when she doesn't know you? Did you think it would be that easy? Come on!
The next day, a rumor from Tashi spreads that you're creepy and your new nickname is Creepy Connie. Everyone in the school believes her and no one wants to hang out with you or invite you to ANY parties. So you eventually drop out of school and go into the workforce.
You apply to your dream job but the employer heard from their daughter that went to your school that you're creepy and won't employ you. Jobs after that soon follow your dream job's footsteps.
Eventually, after a couple of years, your parents get mad at you for living in their house rent free and not getting a job. So they start charging you for rent until you eventually can't pay for it anymore and get kicked out. You start backpacking and live in misery.
So no, you don't get invited to Tashi's party and your life stinks.
[[go back|Start]]She is taken aback by your sudden boldness and looks at you with shock. However, she is impressed and allows you to keep walking with her, wanting you to keep her attention. You have shocked yourself, you didn't think you would make it this far so you didn't think of any conversation starters passed saying, "Hey Tashi, how are you?". Now you have to think about a topic that keeps her interested.
You remember that you overheard a conversation from Tashi's best friend, Lily, about Tashi's dog, Arthur, and how much Tashi loves him. So you could talk about that and how you have a dog as well named Doodles. Oh, but you also overheard Tashi's boyfriend, Gabe, talk about how she loves fashion and loves going shopping. So you could talk about that and how there is a new store opening at the mall called Sunrise/Sunset.
These are both interesting conversation starters, which one do you choose?
[[Let's talk about Doodles]]
[[Let's talk about Sunrise/Sunset]]Tashi looks at you, sadly, and starts to cry...LOUDLY. You try to comfort her but she dodges any attempt of consoling. Everyone in the hall is now watching Tashi wail while making direct eye contact with you. Lily, Tashi's best friend, comes running to comfort her and hug her. She yells, "WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER?".
You mumble the words, "I started talking to her about my dog, Doodles."
"Oh, so you're just rubbing it in, aren't you?" Lily says with disgust.
"What? NO! Rubbing what in? I was making conversation. I heard that she has a dog named Arthur." You say quickly, trying to convince Lily and the rest of the hallway that it's not your fault.
"You IDIOT! She HAD a dog named Arthur, he died a few weeks ago! That's why Tashi's party theme is 101 Dalmations and we are raising money for the nearest shelter. You are so rude and insenstive. Why would you bring that up?" Lily explains.
Lily pushes you against the locker hard and everything goes black. You wake up in the hospital.
"Oh good, you're awake." The doctor says.
"What happened?" You croak.
"Well, let's get this over with. It's the year 3500. You have been knocked unconscious for over a century." You look down at your shriveled body and scream.
So no, you didn't get an invite to Tashi's party and you have lost MULTIPLE years of your life.
[[go back|Start]]She looks at you, with a perplexed look on your face. She slowly breaks a smile.
"No, I actually haven't heard of that place. Is that where you shop? Because I love your outfit," She answers. Tashi just complemented you and she doesn't complement people often. You got to calculate this perfectly if you want to get an invitation to this party. So you say:
"My outfit? Oh my gosh, no! Your closet is impeccable. Maybe we could go shopping together at Sunrise/Sunset sometime! We should exchange information." You hold out your phone.
"Yeah, sure. Are you free tonight?" (set: $plans to true)
[[Make plans with Tashi]]
[[Play hard to get!]](set: $plans to true)
You have a great time with Tashi at Sunrise/Sunset. You also find out that she is not a terrible, untouchable person, just a girl who wants to be liked. Because she shared this side with you, you become her best friend. Like literally two peas in a pod for the rest of your lives. Also, because your friends with her, her parties become more inclusive and people aren't scared of her anymore.
So YAY! You made a best friend for life, and you got your invitation.
[[Start over|Start]]Really?! Why would you do that? You know what, I'm going to give you a second chance. Don't mess it up.
