Chapter 12
Sam grinned as she looked down over the list she had made on her phone, her list of things to do in preparation for Hannah's surprise birthday party.
She laughed. 'Well, the surprise is out now, but, Hannah still doesn't know exactly what I have planned.'
She smiled as she looked around the room. It was large enough for all of them, not just the main group but many other assorted friends would be present.
'Plenty of room, already spoke to the hotel staff, they've allowed us to book it for the night.' Sam reflected. 'Almost done now, just got a few more things to do.'
She grinned wider as she looked over her list one more time and then turned to the only other two with her.
"Josh, Beth. Thanks for all your help." She said warmly.
Josh laughed. "No trouble, so...what is left to do?"
Sam looked over the list again and nodded slowly. "Alright, not that much left actually, just gotta ask the rest of the group if they can be here...already got all the other guests. Also gotta still get Hannah's birthday present from me."
"We've actually got most of the others, just Chris, Ashley and Emily now." Josh remarked.
Beth smirked. "Well, that's simple then, I'll go invite Emily, Josh could you handle Chris and Ashley?"
He nodded and they both smiled at Sam, who smiled back, now she just needed to get Hannah's gift.
Josh was still smiling as he made his way around to Chris' house. Knocking on the door he was greeted by a rather cheerful Mrs. Hartley.
"Ah, Josh, hello." She greeted him.
He nodded. "Mrs. Hartley, nice to see you again."
"Come in, come in." She said, stepping back letting him in. "Chris is...through in the living room."
Josh noted the way she paused and had a feeling she was trying to hold back something that was making her happy. She was certainly more cheerful than usual. He soon got his answer when he entered the living room and saw Chris there, with Ashley. The two them sprang up, eyes wide, when they saw Josh. Yet they 'forgot' to unlink their hands.
Josh raised an eyebrow. "Well, well...I come here to ask you something Chris, looking to talk to Ash later and find the two of you together...what have we here?"
Both of them shared a look, blushing. Josh knew he didn't have to say anything, just wait.
Ashley stammered. "I, we...we were, we just..."
But Chris was the one who explained the truth. "Ash and I, we...we're together now..."
Josh grinned. "Well congratulations you two, about damn time, when were you gonna tell us?"
"Tomorrow." Ashley muttered.
"Well, I won't tell the others." Josh promised. "Now, the reason I'm here..."
They observed him expectantly and he grinned.
"Would you two feel like coming to Hannah's surprise birthday party this weekend?"
Their eyes widened before they laughed and heartily agreed.
Meanwhile, finding Emily was a little harder than Beth thought, but she soon found her. Surprisingly Emily wasn't home yet, she was sitting outside a cafe near the school, a rather expensive cafe, typical of Emily.
"Hey Em." Beth greeted her, approaching with a grin.
Emily looked up and nodded, a strange flicker crossing her face. "Hi Beth, um, what's up?"
Not faltering in the slightest, Beth sat down. "Just thought I'd see how you were doing and…?"
"Don't bullshit Beth." Emily replied, although she was laughing. "I know you're angling for something, just tell me what it is?"
Beth shrugged. "Alright then. Do you wanna come to Hannah's birthday party this weekend, everyone else is gonna be there and..."
"Sure, I'd love to go." Emily replied at once with a grin.
Beth smiled, happy that things had gone much easier than she thought. Emily meanwhile was surprised by what just happened.
'Whoa, what the hell, why did I agree so...so quickly...overeager much Em?' She wondered. 'And why am I still feeling that way, what the fuck is this.'
But she couldn't see any answers to end her confusion, at least, not any that presented themselves right now. But she meant what she said, she would gladly go to Hannah's party, especially now she had heard Hannah and Sam were reconciled, she was getting fed up watching the two of them glaring at each other, truth be told.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
