You are invited to a graduation party!

Where: Spinelli's House (if you need directions call me)

When: May 17

Time: 8:00 PM- ?

Dress casually. You don't have to bring anything with you. Hope you can make it.

RSVP: 555-1234

"That's pretty good, Spin. Although, I pretty sure no one will need directions to your house. I mean, everyone knows where you live," Ashley Spinelli's best friend Gretchen Grundler said as she reviewed Spinelli's invitations.

"Yeah I know. But it never hurts to be prepared. You never know. Now, let's review my invitation list," Spinelli said.

"Ok. Where is it?" Gretchen asked as she looked around the desk they were at in Spinelli's room.

"Over here. Here you go," Spinelli replied pulling a list from her notebook.

"Ok let's see...." Gretchen began reading silently in her head. "Sounds good. Go ahead and pass them out tomorrow."

"Ok. Thanks for your help," Spinelli said as Gretchen walked to the door.

"No problem. See ya tomorrow," Gretchen called as she walked down the stairs and out the door to go home. Spinelli was finally alone. She closed her bedroom door and walked over to her dresser. She opened the top drawer and took out a picture of her and Lyndsay together. She walked over to her bed with it. She sat down and studied the picture. She couldn't believe she would really never see her cousin again. After all they have been through together, she would never see her again. Spinelli didn't mind as she let a single tear escape her eye and trickle down her face.

"I wish you could be here," she whispered. Spinelli took one last glance at the picture before putting it back into the drawer.

---NEXT DAY---

The next day at school, Spinelli handed out the invitations to the people on her list. There was, of course, TJ, Mikey, Vince, Gus, and Gretchen. But she also handed them out to people she used to not get along with so well like Lawson, King Bob, and even the Ashleys. Not that she expected the Ashleys to come. Then she handed them out to her new friends to like Kylie, Amanda, Allie, Kara, Tina, Karen, Molly, and those girls' boyfriends who she had also became friends with. (A/N: i named these people for my friends. they will have some parts in this.)

"So, Spinelli, about your party, are you sure you want all the people you invited there? I mean, the Ashleys? You have got to be kidding me!" TJ said as he and Spinelli walked to class because the bell was about to ring.

"Well, TJ, I did invite almost everyone in our graduating class, ya know. Of course, I would invite some people I don't get along with that well. Unless, ya know, I completely hate them or something. Or they have been known to bring some inappropriate things to parties in the past. Then I wouldn't invite them. But since the Ashleys haven't, they can come if they want," Spinelli reasoned.

"But you completely hate the Ashleys," TJ pointed out. Spinelli shrugged.

"Oh well," she said. The bell rang as TJ and Spinelli walked into their first class. Algebra. They hated Algebra. Algebra was useless in their opinion. Forty- five minutes of useless junk that they are forced to endure. They were so happy when the bell rang signaling the end of that class. The whole class jumped out of their seats and rushed to the door, pushing and shoving like little four year olds. All except Spinelli, TJ, and Hustler Kid who didn't feel like getting a detention for acting childish.

"They do know they will probably get detention for this right?" Hustler Kid asked his friends.

"I don't think they really care," TJ replied.

"Yeah, well I'm getting the heck out of this class, and if you people were smart you'd follow," Spinelli said.

"How are you gonna do that Spin?" TJ asked his girlfriend.

"Like this," she replied before casually walking over and stopping right behind the group of wild animals. "MOVE IT PEOPLE!" she creamed and pushed everyone aside and out of the way so she could leave. When she got out of the room she said: "Carry on." Then she walked away down the hall. TJ and Hustler Kid watched as the group formed again at the door.

"This is ridiculous. I'm trying it," TJ said.

"I'm with ya, Teej," Hustler Kid agreed. The two walked over and stopped right behind the group.

"MO-" Hustler Kid started but was pushed to the floor.

"Let me try," TJ said. He tried to push his way through but couldn't. The two struggle until the teacher came over and made everyone stop.

"Everyone involved go back and sit in your seats," he ordered. "NOW!" Everyone obeyed. "Ok. You all acted very foolish and childish. I can not believe that you are all seniors! Seniors! Seniors do not behave in the unruly fashion that you just preformed! You all looked like a bunch of wild animals! I am ashamed to call you guys the class of 2004. I really am. Is this how you are going to act when you boss says that your shift is over and you can go home when you have a job? Is this how you are going to act when your graduation is over? Boys is this how you are going to act when your wife tells you that you can leave the house for a while?" the teacher asked.

"Hey!" yelled all the girls in unison.

"Sorry girls, but does everyone see my point? You cannot walk around behaving like a batch of wild animals. Understand?" the teacher asked. Everyone nodded. "Good. Then, I will let you off this time. Next time you will all get detention. Now leave in an orderly fashion." Everyone obeyed.

"Whoa. I thought we had it," Hustler Kid said to TJ when they finally got out.

"Me too. I guess we got lucky. Well, come on. We'd better get to our next class," TJ suggested.

"Yeah," Hustler Kid agreed. The two walked down the hall to their next class happily, unaware of what the future will bring.
