Authors note:

Thanks for all of the comments on the intermission. Most of you want a sequel, but I'm not going to say whether or not I will do one yet. It depends how this one ends, I suppose. Will Tommy and Lil get together and will Kimi choose Phil over Edward. Wait and see ^^. Special thanks to:

I would love to hear your thoughts through every chapter, so can you continue to review? Thank you.

Wow, this chapter is long overdue and I do apologise, we just had mock exams over and over again. However, I will try to update and I really want to finish this. Speaking of finishing, I just finished my other story "The Tales of X High School", which I'd like you to read. Also, can everyone who reviewed on the intermission review on this chapter.

Now, on to the chapter.

Don't forget, names of people above, review! ^^

Chapter 10: I Partied to Harded!

Phil was in the shower, waiting for some form of inspiration. He had just woken up and it was early, seven am. He just could not sleep, so he decided to get up and wash, take his mind of tonight. Tonight was the party that he was looking forward to trying to get over Kimi, or at least take his mind of her and the thought of her with Edward. Phil's mom, Betty and his father Howard were away on a training course for the weekend, so Phil and Lil were home alone.

Phil heard a knock on the door. "Phil," Lil called. "Is that you?" Phil frowned, Lil didn't interrupt him when he was in the shower, and Phil didn't do it to Lil either. However, he knew why she was asking, Phil never had a wash on Saturday morning, but he needed to look and smell good, tonight of all nights.

"Yes," Phil shouted. "What is it?"

"Nothing, just checking," she said. "Do you want pancakes?" she asked. "I have a craving."

"Really?" he called back. "Yeah I would love some, thanks Lil!"

Phil heard Lil trot down the stairs as he turned to shower off. This is weird, he thought. Lil hasn't made me pancakes in a long time. She must be in a really good mode, a really, really good mood.

Twenty minutes later, when Phil had got out, he found Lil eating at the table. What is the problem with her? Then Phil realised. He peaked his head around the kitchen table and grabbed a plate. "So, how did your date with Tommy go?" he joked.

Lil laughed. "I wasn't on a date," she said. "Besides, I have a boyfriend."

"Oh yeah," Phil said, mockingly.

After this remark Phil and Lil ate silently for a minute or two. They both ate a lot, and their figure was surprising, they were both skinny, and Phil sometimes did weight training which made him toned. "Thanks for breakfast, sis," he said, picking up his plate and washing it up in the seat.

"Don't worry about it," she replied. "So," she said, finishing her pancakes as well. "Are you looking forward to tonight?"

"Yeah," he said.

"I'm surprised you're going," she laughed. "Are the rest of the gang going?"

"The gang?" he said, raising his eyebrow. She laughed in response. "Yeah, they are, no I'm not so sure about Kimi and Chuckie."

"Why Kimi," she asked.

Phil clenched his fist so that Lil couldn't see it. "She's only going if Edward goes," he explained. He was a little annoyed with Kimi as well, she had said she was going, but she had texted him last night telling him she may go out with Edward. He almost punched the wall behind him and ended up shouting at people over the microphone.

The two of them settled down in front of the TV. Phil was a little surprised with how much he and Lil were talking today. "What's the plan for today then?" Lil asked, switching the channels. There was never anything on, but they lived in hope.

"I don't know," Phil said. "I suppose I'll just mope around on the computer and maybe go out and see Tommy and Chuckie before the party."

Lil nodded. "I'm going to meet up with Brad today," she explained, it was so casual, like she didn't even notice how much the sound of it infuriated Phil. Phil knew she was not an idiot, she must know and maybe that was why she was doing it. "We're going to the mall, seeing if I can find anything to wear."

Phil murmured under his breath. "I'm sure I'll find something," he said, thinking. He didn't usually care what he looked like.

"I heard something at school yesterday," Lil said, looking over. "Something that might interest you."

"Go on."

"I don't know if you know her," Lil said. "Anyway, you know Nat?"

"Natalie Williams?" Phil repeated. "Yeah, she sits next to me in maths, she's pretty cool. Why do you bring her up?"

Lil laughed. "Actually," she said as if rethinking what she was about to say. "I can't say at the moment, sorry."

Phil frowned. "Goddamn it, sis."

Chuckie and Tommy were driving through the country, quite early. Both of them were trying to get out of their own head, "Chuckie, have you decided about tonight, then?" Tommy asked, drumming his fingers on the dashboard.

Chuckie sighed. "I don't know why I should go," he explained. "People have been leaving me alone so far which, by the way, I'm pretty sure is because of Kimi and Edward, but give them alcohol and I'll become target number one!"

Tommy sighed. "Don't let them get to you man," Tommy said. "I heard about Edward and that guy harassing your sister. You should go."

"Oh please," Chuckie sighed in response. "You are only saying this because you want to go and you'll feel bad if I don't."

"Maybe," Tommy laughed. "That doesn't really matter though, Chuckie, lets go anyway."

Chuckie and Tommy had just driven back into town when they saw something strange, a sweaty Phil, running. Chuckie slowed down beside him and Tommy leaned over and honked the horn. Phil jumped and pulled his headphones out. Phil walked over and opened the back door. "Thanks, guys," he grumbled.

"What were you doing?" Tommy asked.

"Started jogging," Phil remarked, strapping himself in and turning his player off. "What are you doing driving about."

"He's trying to convince me to go tonight," Chuckie said, starting the car again and driving off.

Phil laughed. "Why wouldn't you go?" he said, smelling his armpits. "Enjoying the smell, guys?"

"I still don't see why you dragged me here," Edward complained as he got off his bike with Kimi. They hadn't brought a helmet this time, too much to carry. "I can't see why you would want to go."

Kimi laughed, taking Edward's hand. "I don't really see anything wrong with it," she explained. "Besides," she continued, "I promised my friends that I'd come. I'm not one to go back on things."

"I know," Edward said, following her. "Still," he said, grimacing at the music, which was screaming out of the large house. "I don't know how long I can cope with it," he said.

Kimi looked around. "You like to complain, don't you," she said.

"I do," he admitted, shrugging and gripping his cane tightly, eyes shifting around. "It's difficult not to, a lot of things irritate me."

"Do I?" she asked.

Edward shook his head. "You don't."

Kimi smiled, and took her phone out of her pocket. She called Tommy. "Where are you, Tommy?" she asked.

"Me, Phil and Chuckie are on the way," Tommy said.

"Is she there yet?" Kimi heard Phil shout in the background.

"Yeah, I am," Kimi said. Phil sounded excited, Kimi could tell because he spoke really fast when he did. Sometimes it irritated her, but other times she found it cute. Kimi closed her fold-phone and put it in her jeans.

Edward sighed loudly as he and Kimi approached the house. People were already out on the lawn with alcohol in their hands. "Great," Edward remarked, "They stupid enough sober." Edward looked around. "I take it the parents are on holiday."

"Why?"

"Well, with a house like this, they're going to be obsessed with it," he explained, "which means he hasn't told them that he's having it. Moron, there is going to be sick and booze everywhere. I don't envy him."

Over an hour had gone by now at the party and Chuckie was becoming more and more anxious. Unlike Tommy, he hadn't touched any of the alcohol, but he remained with him at all times. Chuckie gazed around at the people surrounding him. One person he noticed in particular was Angelica.

Angelica, as usual, was surrounded by a group of judgemental, pretentious, cruel, stupid (and over a hundred other derogatory adjectives) people. He did, however, use the term "people" quite loosely in this context. Chuckie knew, deep down, very, very deep down, that there was a kind person in there. He couldn't help be notice her, she was, as she would have to be to be surrounded by so many boys, attractive girl.

Kimi and Edward were sitting down. Kimi was chatting with Hannah, laughing and had a open bottle in her hand. She had her arm around Edward and Edward was looking around the room, probably examining everything to satisfy his boredom. Chuckie knew exactly how he felt. Chuckie found it difficult to get along with people, though it wasn't his fault, he saw it as people found it difficult to get along with him.

"So," Tommy said, "how are you Chuck?"

"Bored," Chuckie remarked.

"Quit being a stick in the mud," Tommy said, offering him some of the cider in his hand.

"No thanks," Chuckie refused, pushing it away. Chuckie frowned and pointed. "Look," he said, gesturing toward Lil. Lil and her new boyfriend, Chuckie assumed, Brad were making out on the couch.

"Oh," Tommy said in a wavy I-Don't-Care sought of way.

Chuckie laughed. "That's not the only interesting thing," he said, nodding his head slightly. "Check the other twin," Tommy opened his mouth to ask what had caught Chuckie's attention.

Phil and a girl were on the couch, like Lil and Brad, making out with each-other. Tommy laughed. "Get in there Phil," he said, nudging Chuckie in the ribs. Tommy then frowned. "Who is it, anyway?"

Chuckie tilted his head, feeling a little weird watching one of his best friends with a girl. Then he realised. "Isn't that Natalie from his maths?" he said.

Tommy looked. "Oh, Nat you mean," he said. "She's a babe," Tommy laughed, taking a large swig from the can.

Chuckie bowed his head, romantically he was, as Tommy said, a stick in the mud. Everything was working out for everyone else, and he was left alone. It bothered him, it bothered him a lot. However, there was nothing he could do. In reponse, he grabbed Tommy's cider and downed it. "We're going to have to walk home," he said.

End of Chapter 10.
