Authors Note: I OWN NOBODY WHO LOOKS FAMILLIAR. Also, Ashley will still have her old look back, but her and Paige will not be friends! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------

Paige's Point of View *******************

14 year old Paige Michelchuck searched around her room, looking for her blue top. Finally, she found it, and raced downstairs for breakfast. Her mom was on the phone, and looked pleased with herself, while her dad was eating toast and reading the morning paper.

Paige sat down and grabbed some sausage, while she tried to finish some of her math homework from the previous night.

"Paige, you should have done that after dinner, yesterday." Mr. Michelchuck said.

"I didn't have time. I had like three reports to do!" Paige said, although it was a lie.

Mr. Michelchuck sighed, and continued reading. Mrs. Michelchuck got off the phone and sat down.

"I have some news!" She said, excitedly.

"What?" Paige asked, dreaming of all sorts of cool things that could happen.

"Your father and I are going to England for a business trip. For four weeks!" Mrs. Michelchuck said.

"Awesome! England has so many shops I could go to! When are we leaving?" Paige asked, happily.

"Paige, we are not going." Mrs. Michelchuck said. "Well, you are not, just me and your father. We're leaving in three days."

"So, who am I supposed to stay with?" Paige asked, irritably.

"I'll call around while you're at school, but, you better get going, before you're late." Mrs. Michelchuck said.

Paige picked up her backpack and walked to school. Why did her parents always do that? Go on a business trip and leave her home? Well, on the bright side, she'd probably hang out with Hazel for the four weeks.

When Paige got into school, she told Terri and Hazel all of what had happened this morning.

"But, I mean, they'll get me souveniers. TACKY SOUVENIERS!" Paige complained.

"They couldn't get you anything more tacky then you already have." Ashley Kermer cut in.

Ashley and Paige had been best friends, but, after a party where Ashley took some ecstacy to "fit in" she went totally out of control, cheating on her boyfriend, Jimmy, and calling Paige a hag. Paige would NEVER be friends with Ashley again. Ever.

"Whatever." Paige said, and walked off.

After school, Paige got a ride home from her mom.

"Paige. I know who you'll be staying with for my trip." Her mom said.

"Hazel right?" Paige said.

"No..." Mrs. Michelchuck said.

"Oh. Terri, then." Paige said.

"Actually, Ashley." Mrs. Michelchuck said.

"AS IN ASHLEY KERMER?" Paige yelled, angry.

"Her mom was the only one who could. I know you two aren't exactly friends..." Mrs. Michelchuck said.

"ARENT EXACTLY FRIENDS? THATS THE UNDERSTATEMENT OF THE WORLD!" Paige said.

"You're staying with her, and no more arguments, got it?" Mrs. Michelchuck said, firmly.

"Whatever." Paige said, folding her arms.

When Paige got home, she ran into her room, and called Hazel.

"Can you believe it? I mean, how could my mom disregard me like that?" Paige asked.

"I don't know. Maybe you two should just make friends. For now." Hazel said.

"How about no, Haze? I've got to go." Paige said and hung up the phone.

Four weeks with Ashley Kermer? Would she ever survive?
