Louis was getting ready for school when he heard a knock at the door. It was the new girl-next-door, Sarah Marshall. Louis really liked Sarah. He thought Sarah might have a thing for him too, but he didn't want to ask her out. He was too afraid that Tawny would hate him. Plus, he didn't have the guts to ask out such a gorgeous girl.
"Louis! Hi! Well, I just came over to tell you that my birthday party is this Friday and I would love it if you came." Sarah said, in a rather sweet, innocent voice.
"Sarah, that's really nice of you. I would love to come! What time?" said Louis.
"It's at 5:00, but you can come earlier if you like, so we can have some fun in my room....how about you come over at 4:00?" Sarah replied, her voice not too innocent this time.
"Um...ok. That sounds good, I guess." Louis replied,stuttering along the way.
"See you Friday!" Sarah said, shutting the door behind her.
Wow. What did she mean when she said, "So we can have some fun in my room..." ?
That really gave Louis the impression that she liked him. He was really looking forward to Friday.

Louis enters Lawrence Junior High with a smile on. And not the usual, I've-got-a-good-prank smile, more like the I've-got-a-good-girl smile. Louis hasn't had this smile on his face since Tawny and his little fling.
"What are you all smiles about?" Twitty asks, perplexed. "Not another prank, is it?"
"No, dude, listen, Sarah Marshall came over my house this morning to invite me to her birthday party. Then I asked the time of the party, and she told me. But the strange thing is, she told me to come an hour early so we can have some fun...in her room...." Louis explained.
"Cool! Sarah Marshall likes Louis Stevens....wierd,yes, but that's really cool for you." Twitty said, in the best tone that he could, not showing that he was jealous. Twitty had a thing for Sarah Marshall.
"Well, man, I need to get to English. I'm late."
"Bye. And good luck at the party!" Twitty replies. 'He'll need it...'
*********
Sarah Marshall had English with Louis. That was why he actually went today. She smiled at him, and he blushed. She could tell he was shy, and she liked that in a boy. She stared at him, thinking," What a gorgeous guy!" Tawny caught her looking and smiling at him, and when she looked at Louis she saw him blushing and looking like he was liking the attention very much, especially from Sarah.
"What are you looking at?" Sarah said to Tawny, in a rather rude tone.
"Um...nothing. What's your problem today?"
"Nothing. I'm sorry. Look, do you want to come to my birthday party on Friday? It'll be a lot of fun..."
"Sure, that sounds great. See you then" Tawny replied.
"Yeah, see ya! Hope you can make it."
*******
Louis wasn't feeling to good about the party. He was exited, but at the same time scared of what Sarah wanted to do in her room.
It was Thursday. Louis went to the mall after school with Tawny to get Sarah a present. They both decided to get her Gift Certificates. Louis didn't tell her what Sarah and him had planned.
"Louis, is something troubling you? Do we need another one of our talks?" Tawny asked, sounding concerned.
"No, it's just, I'm really exited about Sarah's party....I guess, I really am at a loss for words..." Louis replied.
"Is it because you like her?" Tawny said in a soft, embarassed, and hurt voice.
She was hoping he would say no.
"Well, to be honest, yeah, just a little. Really, it's nothing serious. It's just a little crush."
"Um...ok. Yeah, I thought something was going on between you two, I saw you and her passing looks. in English. She caught me looking at you guys, and asked me what I was looking at,very rudely."
"Yeah? Well, I really gotta go, but I'll see you tommorrow at school and at the party!" Louis yelled, walking away.
"Ok....." Tawny said. She was hurt a little, she still had feelings for Louis.
********
Louis rushed home. The way Tawny sounded made it seem like she was a little jealous of whatever Louis and Sarah had....
RING! RING!!! RING!!!!
"Louis! Get the phone!" Ren yells.
"Hello?"
"Oh, hey Louis! It's Sarah!"
"Oh...hi."
"Well, I just wanted to tell you that I'm so glad you are coming to my party....but something is wrong."
"What?"
"Well, I was a little rude to Tawny the other day, and to cover it up I invited her to my party.... But the fact is, I like you. And I think that she still likes you,too....and that's a problem. Are you on the same page as me?"
"Well, yeah.... I was thinking about you today, and I realized, 'Hey! I really like this girl!'. And when Tawny and I went to the mall to get your present, well, she seemed like she was a little jealous."
"Yeah. Um, that's a problem...you like me, I like you...and I won't let Tawny get in the way of that!"
"Ok. I promise, she won't be any trouble...I'll talk to you later.Bye."
"Alright...Bye."
*****************
It was the day of the party. Everyone was really exited. But Tawny wasn't. She really was getting jealous.....
"Hey....school's out...so I guess I'll be heading home. Bye,Tawny, see ya at the party."Louis said.
"Yeah,ok,um...Bye."She replied.
It was two o'clock. Louis had two hours to get ready for the party. He put on some clothes, got her present. He cleaned himself up, splashing tons of cologne on and gelling his hair. It took him an hour to get ready...he had one hour to go.
"Are you going to Sarah Marshall's party?" Ren asked Louis.
"Yeah, I'm leaving in an hour."
"But she said it doesn't start until two hours."
"She wanted me to come over and help her with the decorations, food, and music."
'What a lie', He thought to himself.
"Ok, whatever. Be home on time or mom will have my head..."
"Alright, alright already."
Louis walked downstairs and turned on the T.V. He watched two shows, and then it was time for him to go to Sarah's house....
"Louis! Hi! Well, I just came over to tell you that my birthday party is this Friday and I would love it if you came." Sarah said, in a rather sweet, innocent voice.
"Sarah, that's really nice of you. I would love to come! What time?" said Louis.
