Hunter knew that Amity's birthday was the following day, but he honestly didn't think much about it, as he wasn't given a reason to.
He'd send her a 'Happy birthday' message and perhaps make her a card, but that was it, so far as he was concerned.
He was on a Penstagram call with Willow, getting ready for bed, when she informed him that she may not be as responsive the next day, as she would be at Amity's birthday party.
Hunter's heart sank.
This was his first time hearing about any birthday party.
After they ended the call, he lied down and stared at the ceiling, trying not to cry.
Why didn't Amity invite him? Sure, they'd had their issues in the past but he would've thought, after everything, that'd be nothing more than a footnote. She'd had issues with Willow before, after all. And Luz.
Who else was invited? Cause, if Gus was also invited, then it can't have been a girls only thing (which didn't seem like her style anyway).
It seemed she simply... Didn't want him there.
One of his closest friends didn't want him at her birthday party.
Fuck.
