Huh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh

Sabrina's teeth were chattering wildly. She was soooo cold.

"I can't. I just can't."

"Yes you can! PUSH!"

Sabrina shrieked and then everything went black.

Puck awoke on his soft, fluffy bed. Only he would call it that. It was in reality a trampoline.

He sat up and looked at his watch. 7:00 a.m. The old lady had gotten him on a terrible schedule. Noon was a more suitable wake up time.

He lay back down and stared at the ceiling. "It's Sabrina's birthday today. She's going to that—what is it called?" he thought. "Ranch."

This "ranch" was a vacation house in the mountains of upstate New York. She had rented it for her 18th birthday, and there were to be no "adults"—people over 19. That could be dangerous, but danger was Puck's middle name. He was going no matter what.

Sabrina awoke at 6:30 a.m. It was her 18th birthday. Technically, she was 17 until 9:57 that night, because that was when she was born, but who cares? She was turning 18 today.

She jumped out of bed and pulled a small suitcase from underneath her bed and carefully picked out some clothes. This was going to be amazing. She couldn't believe that her parents were consenting to this. Well, maybe they weren't because she had had Uncle Jake (all in favor of some fun) dust them with forgetful dust and they were to think that adults would be there.

She was so excited. The ranch was huge. She had seen pictures, and the living room would be fabulous for a dancing and whatnot. There was also a pool on the back deck that overlooked a huge mountainous valley. She was going into adulthood the fun way. Nothing was going to mess this up for her.

Daphne rushed into Sabrina's room.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Oh mi goodness, I'm so excited for you. If I were 16, I'd be coming. Why can't you just let me come anyway?"

Sabrina looked up from her packing. "I'm sorry. I couldn't do that. You're not even in High School."

Daphne rolled her eyes and turned to leave.

"Thanks for the 'happy birthday'—And I'd so take you if you were 16."

Daphne turned around and gave a little smile, and then she darted out of the room.

"This is so gonna be amazing. EVERYONE is gonna be there. Especially Jesse. I'm so excited," Katy Parker, Sabrina's best friend, said.

"Remind me to bring some birth control. I'll sell it for like 50 bucks and make a fortune," Sabrina said.

"Oooh, dirty mind," Katy replied, winking.

"Come on. It's a party with 16-19 year olds. Some indecent ones are gonna do it. I'm not gonna responsible for a sudden wave of pregnancies."

"Are you gonna bring alcohol?"

"No. No way. It's already an unsupervised party. I can't provide alcohol or drugs. I don't even use them! I have to make sure that there's not any there, because if I get caught, I'm extra super dead with a cherry on top."

"I think you should spread a rumor about alcohol and see how many act drunk."

"Katy! Stop it!"

Katy rolled her eyes and leaned back onto Sabrina's pillows. "You're no fun."

"I think I am, otherwise this wouldn't be happening."

It was 8 o'clock in the morning. They were set to leave and rent a big van and pick up all their friends at 8:30.

"I think I've got everything. Text Jenny and tell her to buy a couple of boxes of condoms. If those idiots are gonna do it, they're gonna wear them. Let's go," Sabrina said.

As soon as she grabbed her handle, Puck pushed open her door and she got bumped in the head and knocked to the floor.

"I'M HEEERREE!" he exclaimed. "Are we ready to go?"

"Ah, Puck," Sabrina muttered spitefully. "You're not going."

"Ha. Funny joke. No way you're not letting me go. This is gonna be so fun."

Katy looked up from her phone and said "She said she's embarrassed to-"

She stopped when she saw Puck. She hadn't noticed him come in—despite the fact that Sabrina had been knocked to the floor and he had announced his entrance for people to hear for miles.

"Embarrassed to do what?" Puck asked. "Who?"

"Jenny, and none of your business. Let's go," Sabrina said. She ushered them out of her room and locked it.

"So does this mean I can come?" Puck asked.

"I really don't care. I guess you're a close friend," Sabrina said.

"Let's get this party started!" Katy exclaimed, bolting for the stairs.
