On the beachside of Laguna Beach, a meeting was taking place in Stevie's house. In the patio of her house were Stevie, Kacey and Grace. And they were going to plan the ultimate senior party.
"So are we gonna start planning this or not?" Grace asked. Grace wore clear sunglasses that had a shade of blue in them. She sat next to Stevie who was sitting next to Kacey around the circular patio table.
"Okay, so what have we done so far?" Stevie asked. Stevie had her sunglasses over her eyes too like the others. Stevie hair was straightened out and down against her shoulders. She was wearing a light blue tank top. The gang were sharing chips and drinking lemonade.
"We've done drunken parties," Kacey said and she stopped. "And that's all I remember." Kacey's hair was down and straight as usual. She put her sunglasses on her head.
"What about a costume party?" Grace suggested.
"Didn't we do that already like a trophy wife kinda thing?" Kacey asked.
"But not like that." Grace said. She bit into another nacho chip.
"Um how about a cocktail party? Like we can dress up and stuff." Kacey suggested.
"That would be so rad." Grace said. "But here's the thing, it'll be a black and white cocktail party."
"Oh that's cool." Stevie said. "So what should we call it?"
"A Black and White Affair?" Kacey suggested.
"That could work." Grace said. "But we have to make sure you are not let into the door unless you are like fully decked."
"So who should we invite?" Kacey asked. The sun was beaming in her eyes.
"We'll make it 20 and leave 10 for the forget people. Cause you know how it is when you forget someone and you're like, oh I meant to but I just forgot." Grace said. Her and Kacey laughed together.
"Well we'll invite us obviously." Stevie said.
"And Spencer, Ariana, and Skylar." Kacey was writing down the names she and Stevie were saying.
"Nelson, Kevin, Justin, Andy. Carlos" Grace said.
"Zander. Karissa and Molly?" Kacey said. Both her and Grace looked at Katie's reaction as she coughed the word slut when she read Molly's name. Both girls started to snicker.
"Oh, drama." Grace said in a sing song voice.

At the Garfunkel house, Molly was in her pool, floating on a plastic pool chair that was pink and floating. She had black sunglasses on and her hair was pulled back away from her face. She was wearing a red bikini top and black bikini bottoms. Suddenly, her cell phone rang. Molly pulled herself to the side of the pool and climbed out. She checked the caller ID on her cell and it was Karissa.
"Hey Kar." Molly said.
"Hey. What's going on?" Karissa said from the other end.
"Nothing. Just chilling in the pool." Moly replied.
"Listen, do you wanna go hang out later?" Molly asked her best friend.
"Yeah I do." Karissa replied.
"Okay. I'm gonna swing by the surf shop for a while to see Zander and then I'll come and get you." Molly said. Her and Karissa agreed on meeting around 8.
"So how are you and Zander?" Karissa asked curiously.
"We're good." Molly said.
"Aww.." Karissa said excitedly.
"We're real good!" And the two continued the conversation until Karissa had to get back to work.
XXXX
Later on that night, around 7:30, Molly arrived at the Surf Shop where Zander and Nelson worked together. Zander was busy stocking that he didn't notice the door opening. Molly had her hair up in a ponytail and she wore tight blue jeans and a pink top. She was holding her black Coach bag in her hand.
"Hey Zan."
Zander turned around and hugged his recently on again girlfriend. Zander wore nothing but baggy blue jeans and a baggy blue shirt. His hair was getting longer. Zander kissed her cheek and walked around to the main front behind the counter. Molly stood on the other side.
"So what's going on tonight?" Zander asked her.
"Gonna hang with Karissa and then go home probably. You?" Molly asked.
"Make an appearance at Nelson's barbecue party and I'll probably call you later. So you aren't coming to Nelson's at all?" Zander said. Molly shook her head disgusted at the suggestion.
"I'm not going if Stevie's going to be there!" Molly clarified in a bitchy tone. Just then, the phone rang. He answered on the second call.
"Thanks for calling Laguna Surf Shop. This is Zander." He said. "Yes we do teach surf lessons, $80 per person an hour!" Zander quickly said as he hung up the phone.
Molly noticed that the clock was reading 7:46.
"Okay we'll have fun working!"
"You're leaving me?"
"Yeah I told Karissa I'd go pick her up,"
"Okay thanks for coming by."
They kissed briefly and Molly left the shop to pick up Karissa.

At Nelson's party, which the backyard was the beach, Grace and Kacey were hanging out on the couch. Nelson was busy mingling with the guests to notice that Stevie came in.
"Hey, Baskara." Justin said once he saw her. Both Justin and Stevie hugged each other.
"Couldn't miss this party now couldn't I?" Stevie said. She picked up a drink that Justin handed her. Stevie noticed a lot of people from school. "Where's Ariana?"
"I don't know. I left a message on her cell." Nelson replied back.
"Hey, Zander." Stevie heard Kacey said. "Coming to the party this weekend?" Kevin asked his friend.
"What party?" Zander asked. He scanned around the room and saw his best friend and occasional hook up, Stevie, talking with Justin.
"The one that you have to wear black and white to get in. It's at the Resort downtown Saturday." Kacey explained.
"I am so there." Zander said.
"Zander, my man." Nelson said. He and Zander gave a brief "manly hug".
"We're going bubble bathing tonight. You wanna come?" Justin asked with a smirk
"Bubble bathing?" Stevie asked confused.
"We're going to be putting bubble bath in Jacuzzi's so it creates a massive amount of bubbles." Kevin explained with a smile
"Why would you do that?"
"Why wouldn't you do that?" Kevin exclaimed high fiving Justin.
"Don't you have to empty the Jacuzzi?" Stevie asked.
"We're not going to do it in my Jacuzzi." Kevin said as if pointing out the obvious.
"We're going to like a hotel." Justin said.
"That's mean." Stevie replied with a pout.
"That's mean?" Justin asked in mock concern and a confused expression.
"Yeah." Stevie said with a shrug.
"Well I'll write them an "I'm sorry letter." Justin replied, giving Stevie rough side hug and messing up her hair.
"How considerate is that? She's like thinking about the hotel." Kevin mocked.
"Stevie's always thinks about the smart shit." Justin said.
"Remember when I used to be the smart one?" Kevin asked aloud.
"No." Justin said with a serious look on his face before he broke out into a grin.
"Yeah, I don't remember that either." Stevie commented with a laugh.
"That never happened."
The party continued on for a few hours before Stevie was getting tired. After having countless conversations with Kacey and the others, she announced she was gonna get going. After giving good-byes and hugs, Stevie left Nelson's to car before being stopped by a hand. Stevie turned around. It was Zander.
"Hey." He said.
"Hey. You leaving too?" Stevie asked Zander.
"Yeah. Gotta work tomorrow so," Zander said. "You going home?"
"Yeah. Got a test tomorrow in Chemistry." Stevie said. She unlocked the door. "Guess I'll see ya around?"
"Yeah, sure. Or how about we can just hang out like the old times." Zander suggested. He had a small smile on his face.
"Come over?"
"Sure!"
"All right. I'll meet you there." Zander said. He gave a smile and went to his car, which was a silver Dodge Eclipse.
Stevie started the engine and pushed play in the CD player. It was Kelly Clarkson. She put the car in drive and left Nelson's driveway with Zander following behind.

Next day after Nelson's all night barbecue, Stevie invited Kacey and Grace to see her newly built house. It was still in the progress of being finished.
"Wow." Kacey exclaimed. Stevie had her hair in a messy bun and her sunglasses on her head. Kacey and Grace were too busy looking at the view.
"It's gonna be huge." Stevie said. She was carrying her designer bag on her shoulders.
Stevie showed them the pool and hot tub. Then the tour went to inside of the house. "Here's the bathroom…the kitchen…" she said.
"This kitchen is bigger than me and my mom's room put together." Grace commented. Imogen put her sunglasses on her head. And of course, she was wearing silver hoop earrings.
"That's what we wanted." Stevie said. The three went upstairs and saw the bedrooms and Stevie's was the last.
"And here's my room!" Stevie said excitedly.
"Is your room the best?" Grace teased with a smirk.
"Of course!"
Grace walked into Stevie's walk in closet and heard Kacey and Stevie talking about last night. It became their conversation for the next hour and a half.
XXXX
Over at Molly's house, she and her best friend Karissa were busy doing each other's hair in Molly's room.
"Do you know if Zander and Stevie have talked recently?" Karissa asked.
"Um, I don't know. Uh, they're friends, but she's a stuck up little brat."
"Oh, I know! Totally!" Karissa nodded in agreement.
"But he's mine."
"If you and Zander had kids, they would be so cute." Karissa said.
"He is hot." Karissa said with a smirk.
"He's really hot." Molly replied back. "Are you going to the party thing Saturday?" She asked her friend as she plopped on the other side of the bed.
"Yeah. You?" Karissa said.
"I guess. Zander's going so I'm gonna go too." Molly replied with a sigh.
XXXX
At a local restaurant, Zander, along with Nelson, Kevin and Justin were having lunch together.
"So what is the deal with you and Stevie and Molly? Cause I am so lost." Nelson asked.
"Nothing. I mean, Molly is fun to be around with you know? To hang out." Zander said.
"Not girlfriend material." Kevin commented.
"Right. But if it came down to having a girlfriend, like a long term thing," Zander said.
"Stevie would be better." Justin finished.
"Yeah, she would." Zander replies.
"So you going to Stevie's party?" Kevin asked. He sipped some of his Pepsi.
"Yeah. You guys going?" Zander replied. He played with the straw in his Sprite.
"We have to. Our girlfriends are gonna be there." Nelson replied. He was wearing a black baseball cap.
The gang of guys were chuckling at Nelson's comment. And before long, the time went on. Before Zander knew it, he was at the same place with Molly this time and got into a small fight about what happened last night with him and Stevie. And of course, lying took place.
(The next day)
"Yeah, I don't know. I'm really stressed out on Zander and Stevie because last night, he told me he was going to bed early, and today I found out he was at her house." Molly said shrugging as she sat across from Justin at a local seafood restaurant.
"Do you know if they hooked up?" Justin asked her curiously.
"He says that they didn't." Molly replied with a shrug.
"Does that bum you? I mean, it's kinda funny, you guys like have a relationship that's like on and off. 'Cause you hook up with him, he hooks up with Stevie, you hook up with him, he hooks up with Stevie, I kind of come in on the side and like grab you or Stevie once in a while."
"Yeah."
"Gosh, our town is so small. We need another girl." Justin teased.
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"I don't know, I'm kind of sick of hooking up with the same girl."
"You're sick of hooking up with the same girl? Who?"
"You know it's you. It's seems like whenever I call you, you're with Zander, and whenever I call Stevie..."
"She's with Zander. Either wants to go back out or stop whatever we're doing."
"So you think it's Stevie's fault they're hanging out all the time?"
"I think it's both their faults. I just hate Stevie. She needs to go out of my life."
"That's a little harsh." Justin admitted but Molly rolled her eyes annoyed and Justin just sighed.

Saturday came around quickly as the black and white party was going to begin. At a resort downtown, the Surf and Sand hotel, Stevie, Kacey, Grace,and Skylar were busy in the large enough bathroom, getting ready.
Grace was ironing out her hair as Kacey was doing Skylar's makeup.
"So this is fun." Stevie said as she was applying blush.
"Yeah. We should do it more often." Kacey commented.
"Is that what you're wearing?" Skylar asked Grace when she came in wearing a short black mini dress that barely covered her thighs.
"Yep." Grace simply said.
"I'm going with pants." Skylar said. She was forced to move her head up while Kacey was applying mascara.
"You know, I wanted to wear a white dress to this?" Stevie commented.
"I know, me too. But I haven't seen any at the mall." Grace said.
"But the ones I've seen are like trashy and slutty looking." Kacey said back as they all laughed.
There were only a few more hours before the party was going to start.
XXXX
"I am not into this shit." Molly said. She wearing a really short strapless white mini dress. Her hair was ironed out with her bangs showing.
Karissa was in the room, half dressed, in a black mini dress as short as Molly's. So was Molly's friend, Ariana. "So help out on the shoes." Molly begged.
"I need help with that too." Ariana replied.
"Um, take the heeled sandal ones," Karissa pointed to Molly's shoes. "And you take the other ones." She finished to Ariana.
"I'm gonna call Zander and see if he's picking us up." Molly grabbed her cell phone and gave out a sigh that was full of annoyance.
XXXX
The hotel room was overcrowded with people that were from the school.
Outside, Zander, Molly, Karissa, Ariana and a few of Zander's other friends from work arrived.
"Can we stay for like 10 minutes?" Molly asked Zander with a groan.
"We can stay longer than that." Zander replied with an annoyed sigh. He was wearing simple black pants and a black shirt.
"I'm sorry but I don't wanna be around these people right now." Molly said. She walked faster and caught up with Karissa.
The hotel doorbell rang as Stevie opened it. Stevie was wearing a black dress that was flowy and fitted nicely around her. She opened the door and saw Zander's face.
"Hey." He said as he embraced her in a quick hug.
"Come on in." she said. She watched Karissa, Ariana and Molly come in. Stevie rolled her eyes at Molly and let Zander's friends come in. She closed the door as the music was getting played.
Kevin and Kacey were on the couch, talking with Nelson and Gracr and Andy Bartlett was talking to a girl.
As the party went on, Molly sighed out of boredom as she and Karissa and Ariana were sitting outside on the patio. Along with a few others who were outside, too.
"Zander was like, we won't be here long. It's been an hour. This is bullshit!." Molly mocked her boyfriend. After calling a few people, mainly guys, Molly declared she was going.
Grace saw Molly get up and go over to Zander and was whispering in his ear.
"Molly's the only one wearing white how ironic?" Stevie said with a smirk.
"That like defines trashy!" Kacey replied with a smile as Stevie nodded in agreement before they saw Karissa following Molly out the door. Ariana was the last to leave.
"So did they just up and leave?" Stevie asked Kacey.
"Yep and so did Zander!" Kacey pointed out as they watched Zander say goodbye to everyone before leaving.
"Why are we leaving?" Karissa asked confusedly as Molly ignored her and they walked to Zander's car.
Once they all entered Zander's car, it slowly pulled out of the parking lot.
Molly said, "This is so much better."
Back inside Stevie sighed, this was not how she was expecting things to go tonight.
XXXX
The party dwindled down and ended later on. The girls decided to help Stevie clean up the place and threw themselves on the couches with the TV on. Stevie was next and Kacey on the big couch while Grace was in a separate chair.
"Throwing parties is exhausting." Kacey commented as she took a sip of her drink, a Coke.
"No more parties for a while, okay?" Grace complained, sleepily.
"Yeah. No more." Stevie agreed.
And that was the end of the black and white party. It was a success yet full of tension between Molly and Stevie but in all, a successful party in Laguna.
