DISCLAIMER: I own nothing. This is my first Sweet Valley fan fiction, so please let me know what you think
Elizabeth opened her new book and began to read, stretched out on her bed. It was Saturday and the perfect opportunity to relax. Just as she was about to turn the first page, her twin sister Jessica suddenly threw open the door and flung herself beside Elizabeth.
"Ever heard of knocking?" Elizabeth pretended to be mad but both she and Jess knew she wasn't really.
"Oh, I know you like me to knock Liz, but I just had to tell you!" Jessica explained, her blue-green eyes sparkling with excitement. "Todd Wilkins," She put emphasis on the name, looking meaningfully at Elizabeth. "Is having a party tomorrow." She twirled a lock of her blonde hair and looked at Elizabeth for a reaction.
"So?" Elizabeth asked blankly. Jessica looked at her, dismayed.
"So?" She repeated in disbelief. "So? So this is only the biggest party since forever! Its been so long since Lila's last one." Liz laughed.
"Its only been a couple of weeks!" She said.
"But this is big, Liz. Todd invited both of us and everyone is going to be there. Even college boys, Lizzie. College boys! Oh, this is going to be so great! I'm sick of these immature high school boys." She tossed her blonde head defiantly. "I'm ready for some older boys." Elizabeth sighed.
"Great." She said. "It sounds fun but Mom will never let us go."
"Already taken care of Lizzie! I've already gotten permission from Mom, just then." She looked proudly at Elizabeth.
"You have?" Elizabeth didn't usually enjoy big parties but she had to admit it had been pretty boring lately and she did want to see Todd. She had a big crush on him, and suspected her might like her too.
"Yep! She said now that were 16, she can trust us more. And now, dear sister," Jessica giggled happily and grabbed Elizabeth's hand, pulling her off the bed, "we have to find the perfect outfits!"
10 minutes later the entire contents of both girls' wardrobes were strewn across Elizabeth's bed and the twins were looking through them, occasionally holding them up in front of the mirror.
"Hm, Liz, do you like this skirt on me?" Jessica asked holding a purple mini skirt to her, studying it thoughtfully.
"Uh, well, its a bit short don't you think?" Elizabeth tried to sound tactful, but she couldn't help the disbelief seeping through her voice. The deep purple skirt was tiny!
"No. Its in, its mature. Remember, OLDER guys are going to be there."
"Well, if you like it." Elizabeth said doubtfully. Jessica nodded and began to look for a top.
"Hey, how about this?" Elizabeth suggested holding up her favorite blue and white striped blouse. Jessica raised eyebrows skeptically.
"Uh, no. That's so preschool."
"Gosh, thanks." Elizabeth said sarcastically.
"I know." Jessica beamed with approval and she handed Elizabeth a short red skirt. It wasn't quite as short as Jessica's but it was still much shorter then the skirts Elizabeth usually wore.
"No way!" Elizabeth cried, throwing the skirt back to Jessica.
"What do you mean, no way?" Jessica asked. "It's perfect! The red will make your hair seem really blonde. Trust me. You can wear it with this." She added holding up a white tank top. Elizabeth's eyes widened.
"No. No way. That outfit is so...skimpy. Its not me."
"C'mon, Liz. It'll really impress Todd." Jessica said sneakily. Elizabeth froze. She had to admit, she wanted to look good for Todd. And Jessica did know a lot about fashion...
"Alright. Fine, I'll wear it!" She gave in.
"Great!" Jessica squealed. "Todd Wilkins won't know what hit him!" She declared. But Elizabeth just felt nervous.
So, what did you think? I'm going to post the next chapter really soon, so let me know! Thanks for reading.
