Only five more days. five more days until I can have a well deserved break. Beth kept repeating these words in her head. In five days time, it was her school's Christmas break and she just couldn't wait. After seven weeks of nothing but hard work, she couldn't wait to just relax, be with family and have fun.

It was nearing lunch for Beth and her stomach rumbled at the thought of food. She was starving as she was in such a rush to get to school. Her stupid alarm clock had broken and she forgot to ask her father to wake her up.

When the bell finally rang, Beth jumped from her seat and rushed out of the classroom to meet her best friend Molly. Beth and Molly were completely different to one another but their differences made them so close! Beth was a very quiet, country girl with golden blond hair and bright blue eyes, whilst Molly was quite the opposite. She was a chatty girl, originally from New York with Auburn hair and hazel eyes. Not only were they physically different, they were very different in personality. Beth loved to read a good book, hang out in the country side and try her hardest with her grades. Molly wasn't dumb, quite the opposite in fact, but she didn't really need to try and she loved to go to a party. But their preferences didn't matter to them. They were best friends and had been since they first met.

Beth found Molly up against her locker, talking to their other friend, Luke. He was a sweet boy and a very talented Baseball player. They both met Luke when he got his sweater jammed in his locker and he couldn't get it out! People in the corridor were laughing at him, but Beth and Molly knew that he needed help. Yes they had to stifle their laughs, but they still helped him. He thanked them for helping him and since then, they all became great friends.

"Hey Beth! How's it going?" Molly saw Beth coming towards her so she turned around to give her a huge hug.

"Hey Molly, Luke, I'm fine thanks. Any of you two seen Jimmy?" Beth needed to find Jimmy because he left his History book at hers when he came round to work on Sunday afternoon. Jimmy and Beth have been going out for a few months now and had been friends for quite a while before anything happened. But they soon began to become close and well, things just went on from there.

All of a sudden, two giant arms were wrapped around Beth's tiny body. Beth squealed from the sudden movement, but knew straight away it was Jimmy. She turned around to give him a quick kiss on the cheek and a smile, whilst Luke and Molly made gagging noises in the background.

"Guys, go get a room, I'm about to eat lunch man, don't put me off!" Molly elbowed Luke in the chest for saying that but she too couldn't help but laugh along with him.

As soon as Luke even mentioned the word "food", Beth's stomach rumbled, reminding her that she was in fact starving. She started to walk off the cafeteria with Jimmy's arm snaked around her shoulders. Molly and Luke closely followed behind, still giggling like young school children. Beth couldn't help but laugh a little, she just couldn't get annoyed at those two.

Once Beth had grabbed some food, she sat down on an empty table by the huge windows. This was her favourite spot because she could see exactly what was happening outside, but today wasn't a great day for the outside because it was all frosty and she couldn't see a lot. Jimmy followed shortly and plonked himself next to Beth, then they were finally joined by Luke and Molly. Beth started eating her pasta right away and her stomach made a noise of satisfaction. Looking up from her food, she saw Luke wasn't eating.

"What's up Luke?" Beth was curious to know why he wasn't eating, he was usually the one to finish his food first. Everybody stopped eating and looked straight at Luke. He had the biggest grin on his face. That made Beth feel better in a way, but she was still curious to know why he was smiling so widely!

"Come on man, spit it out, why so dapper?" Even Jimmy wanted to know what was happening.

"Okay, since Christmas is coming up, I got us all an early Christmas present! This Friday night, we are going to the 'Strange Wolf'!" Luke was by now smiling so widely, Beth wondered if his face was going to stay like that. However, Jimmy, Molly and Beth all just glanced at each other. What on earth was the 'Strange Wolf'? She had never heard of it.

"Sorry to burst your bubble man, but what exactly is the 'Strange Wolf'?" Even Jimmy hadn't heard of it.

"You mean, none of you know this place? Come on guys! It's like the coolest night club right now! Man, I can't believe none of you have heard of it!" Luke was still grinning, but he sounded so shocked when he knew that none of them had heard of this place.

Again, Beth, Molly and Jimmy looked at each other with a confused expression. They were all thinking the same thing, but it seemed that only Beth would point out the obvious.

"That's really cool Luke, but we're all only 17! There is no way we could get into this place." Jimmy and Molly nodded in agreement with Beth.

"Oh, I forgot to add, I've got a friend called Tony, he owed me a favour and well, let's just say, we'll easily get into the club on Friday night. Your fake ID will be with you by Thursday and this guy is a pro. He'll make them look so real, nobody will give you guys a second glance!"

"Man that's so cool! You're the best." Jimmy's face was smiling as wide as Luke's had been earlier. Beth could easily tell that he was excited about this. Glancing towards Molly, she too was smiling away. Beth on the other felt unsure. This was illegal in many different ways. She had never done anything like this before. In fact, she had never done anything illegal!

Molly had managed to see the worried expression on Beth's face. Even Molly knew that this was way beyond something that Beth would have been comfortable with, but Molly knew that she wanted Beth to be there with her and the guys. It wouldn't be the same without her.

"Hey Beth, this is going to be great isn't it?" Beth looked up to see Molly smiling kindly at her and Beth couldn't help but smile back.

"I'm not sure you know. What if we get caught or somethin'? My daddy would kill me" Beth cared so much about her daddy. Other than Maggie, he was more or less the only family she had left. Her mother died a few years ago from cancer, and her daddy never fully recovered from the heartache it caused. Maggie on the other hand was her half-sister. Same dads, but Maggie's mom left her soon after Maggie was born and left her with her daddy. She couldn't let him down, but what if they didn't get caught?

"Beth, come on! We'll have a great time. We wont get caught. If Luke says that Tony is a pro, then we have just gotta believe him." Jimmy was now looking her right in the eye, with a smile on his face. Beth smiled back and simply nodded her head. Jimmy's smile grew and he kissed her on the forehead, all whilst Luke and Molly gagged again in the background.

"Really guys, it was just the forehead!" Beth was laughing at their immatureness, but carries on with her lunch until the bell rings again for class.
