Chapter 1

Donkey Legs and Police Sirens

Vaughn POV

"EEEK! Who dumped their lemonade on me!" Akari screeched, soaked.

Luke stood behind her, laughing, "Told ya I'd getcha back for painting my axe pink with flowers all over it!"

"Oh, you are SO dead!" Akari shot up and took off towards Luke. She was chasing him all around the beach, Luke laughing like a mad man.

In the background, Toby was playing the ukelele to Over the Rainbow, and Denny was singing along, "…Dreams that you dream are once in a lullabyyyyy…"

Chelsea was sitting next to her boyfriend, Toby, as he gently stroked the ukelele as he would stroke a kitten. She gazed longingly at his eye slants, like a trapped prisoner looking for light through closed blinds.

Surrounded by his harem; Karen, Popuri, Celia, and Ann, Chase cooked his "famous" s'mores. He looked at each girl after handing them each one s'more and cocked an eyebrow, "Want…s'more?" The girls giggled and blushed as if Taylor Lautner had just asked them if they wanted to feel his abs.

Gray stares at the fire, with a look that pretty much screams, "I'm gonna jump in if I have to spend one more second with these freaks!"

I'm just sitting here, looking at everyone, innocent as a lamb.

Chelsea POV

I lean over to Toby, who's in the middle of playing I'm Yours, and whisper, "Why is Vaughn glaring at everyone?"

He shrugs and says, "I dunno, maybe he couldn't find a bathroom or something."

I giggle and snuggle closer to him. Vaughn just glares harder at me, and I want to buy him a puppy or something to make him stop! What a scary 17-year-old…

Karen comes over and asks Toby and me if we want to come over after the party. She lives in the back of the bar, so she's always stocked with the rebellious drinks, like flavored iced tea and…COKE!

We agree to come over after, and of course, everyone else is invited.

I look over and Luke is dancing…with his axe. He seems to be in love. They'll be married by next June.

Akari is staring at his axe like she's about to kill it. Obviously jealousy is rampant in her heart! Poor girl.

It gets dark and we all head over to Karen's.

Luke POV

I guarantee you – I will make this party EXTREME! I get out the empty milk bottle that I forced Vaughn to drink within 10 seconds (he tried to hurt me but my trusty axe saved the day!) and place it on the floor.

"Who wants to play EXTREME spin the bottle!" I shout.

Everyone looks at me like they're SO psyched!

"Are you crazy!" Akari asks me, full of energy. Dang, that girl knows how to get me PUMPED!

"Heck yeah I am!"

Her eyes flash from pure excitement and she plops down on the floor.

"Calling all awesome people! Get over here to play EXTREME spin the bottle," I call out again.

Everyone rushes over for the BEST seat, except Gray, who's such a slowwwwwwwwpoke!

"Gray! My man! Since you're soooooo slow, you get to go first!"

His face got SO red from the HUGE adrenaline rush! Man, I've never seen that guy so pumped!

Gray POV

Crap.

I was just going to get some water, and now I'm first in line for Spin the Bottle? I know my face got red from embarrassment, and I really didn't want my first kiss with Ann to be in front of EVERYONE.

I shot Luke a death glare, but he just smiled wider. I think he's been hit on the head with that axe of his too many times…

Everyone is practially begging at my feet for me to join the game, so I humor them and play. I spin, and it lands on…Denny?

The girls giggle, while Denny and I both shout in unison, "NO WAY!"

"Just spin again, Gray," Chelsea giggles, clinging to Toby's arm as if someone else will snap him up if she lets go. I mean, Toby's nice and all, but he's really not that great. I'm way better-looking.

I nod and spin again. This time it lands on Akari.

Great. She's gonna go thinking I'm her boyfriend now or something…

I lean in and kiss her quickly. She blushes like Leonardo DiCaprio was who kissed her.

"Your turn, Akari," Karen says.

Akari obliges and the bottle lands on…

Akari POV

NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!

ANYONE!

BUT!

CHASE!

Ughhhhhhhh!

I kiss him, and he makes it last for what seems like FOREVER, but it's only like, 3 seconds.

Ich. He really needs to lay off the onions, and maybe take a dental sucker thingy to his mouth, because I felt like I was DROWNING.

I think I'm gonna throw up…

Chase POV

My kisses are ALWAYS perfect. Look at how she's swooning! Haha, putty in my hands…

I'm sure she appreciated my new breath spray, "Mexican Make-Out."

Ooh! Jealousy is practically written allll over Popuri's face. Vaughn looks like he could shoot everyone in the room just for being there.

Akari POV

Thank Goddess Chase's spin didn't land on me. Poor Karen. She looked as disgusted as I felt in her shoes.

Karen lands on Luke, who lands on me. YES! Finally, someone I don't mind kissing!

Our kiss feels like a rainbow of looooove. It ends far too quickly! I love how he smells of sawdust and spinach! Luke is soooo dreamy.

I spin and it lands on Toby.

Oh no. I don't want to make Chelsea upset, but she's letting him play! Oh, what do I do? Forfeit? Kiss? Scream? Nudge the bottle while no one is looking so it lands on Denny? Or Luke :)

Vaughn POV

This game is so weird. I'm glad I haven't been landed on. Now that Akari's kissed Toby, Chelsea looked uncomfortable, but seemed to handle it well.

Now Toby spins and it lands on Chelsea. Of course. She smiles sweetly and kisses him.

Blech. Too much sugar.

Now it's her turn to spin, and it lands on…

CRAP!

Chelesa POV

Hehe! Vaughn's blushing like crazy now that the bottle landed on him! Toby doesn't care if I kiss him, as long as it doesn't mean anything, like in Spin the Bottle.

I lean over to kiss him, and it was better than I expected.

Scratch that. WAY better than I expected!

When we pulled away, it hit me like a semi truck with a load of bricks in the back.

His eyes sparkled knowingly, and my heart fluttered like a thousand moths trying to reach the streetlight.

I wasn't meant to be with Toby.

Celia POV

"Want to come to the bar later on?" Karen asked me.

"Oh, I might join you guys later," I reply.

"Ok! Hopefully we'll see you there." Karen waves good-bye and walks off.

I run home to Vesta and my sister, Marline. "VESTA! YOU'LL NEVER GUESS WHERE EVERYONE'S GOING WITHOUT PARENTAL PERMISSION OR SUPERVISION!"

I tell Vesta everything, feeling like Superwoman, going to save the lives of my fellow teens.

Vesta struggles to dial her cell phone, her sausage-like fingers hitting 4 keys at once.

I assist her with my petite and more cell-friendly fingers and call all the parents.

An hour later, all the parents and I are marching over to the bar to go bust everyone.

Vesta kicks down the door with her donkey legs and screams, "BUSTED!"

I could hear the police sirens going off in my head. Oh, wait, that's Toby's dad's ringtone.

Theyr'e playing Spin the Bottle! Oooooooh, I'm tellin'! Oh. Wait. I already did.

I hike up my green tweed skirt and march over to the couple that's kissing right now, and am shocked to find it's Chelsea and Vaughn! Everyone else has noticed me except for them. Finally, I get their attention as their parents come and get them.

"Party's over, folks," I call out.

Everyone's glaring at me, even Luke! "Man, Celia," he says, solemn. "I thought you'd be pumped to come here and kiss me! Guess not, I'm gonna be grounded for eternity! Maybe I can chop my way out of my room…"

I get grumbles and glares until everyone's left. Vesta pats me on the back and says with her deep, masculine voice, "You did good, kid."

I smile. "I know!"
