LAKEHURST
013. "BIRTHDAY BASHED"
Holly J. was in her bed waking up with a smile on her face, because she knew what today was, her 14th birthday, and her mother had always talked about throwing her a party, and Holly J. would invite all of her friends to her party, but first she had to get the invitations out. "Today you are different, Holly J." she said to herself before heading out the door.
Mia and Anya were both in the hallway walking to their lockers, when they saw an invitation taped to their lockers, "Holly J.'s birthday party!" Anya exclaimed before Mia could even have the chance to open her envelope. "What no way!, a party!" Mia shouted, not noticing that Sav and Riley over heard her, "Party when, where, what for?" Sav asked all in one. "Holly J.'s birthday party" Anya said. Riley and Sav looked back and forth at one another, not thinking that they were invited. Then Holly J. came by the group, "Don't worry you two are invited too" Holly J. said reassuring her friends. Sav and Riley high-fived one another and went down the hall, leaving Holly J. smiling at the two of them.
Jennifer was in the gym studying for her exam, when Brianna walked in the door. "Hey Jennifer" Brianna said sitting next to the girl, "Hi" Jennifer whispered, not knowing if Brianna was still mad at her or not. "Look I over exaggerated the other day, I told you off, and it was cool sorry" Brianna said. "It's okay...friends?" Jennifer finished with a question, that sounded more like a statement, "Friends" Brianna said, hugging the girl.
Holly J.'s mother was setting up the tables for the party, and Holly J. was counting everything they had, "It's gonna be perfect" Holly J. whispered to herself, Just then a hand came around her hips and a boy kissed her gently on the cheek, "Of course it's gonna be perfect, it's about you" Travis whispered, obviously hearing what she had said. Holly J. turned around and kissed the boy, happy he showed up to her party.
Mia was putting all of her things into her mother's car, as she was in front of Holly J.'s house, she turned around, and dropped her makeup, but a boy picked it up for her, "Thanks...Lucas right?" Mia asked noticing who had just helped her. "Yep you got it" Lucas said, "You alright?" Lucas finished asking Mia, while putting his hands on her shoulders. "Yeah I'm totally fine" Mia said, watching the boy leave on his skateboard, as she just stood there in amazement.
Everything was going great for Holly J., then she heard screaming, and Holly J. saw her sister, Heather, and her mother arguing in front of her friends, so she ran over, "Mom what's Heather doing here?" Holly J. asked her mother, "I don't know but she was just leaving" Holly J.'s mother finished before grabbing Heather's arm, and pulling her, but Heather only retorted with "Let go of me Bitch!" Heather shouted as she pushed her own mother into the pool, "I'm out, seeyah later bitches!" Heather shouted before leaving party, Holly J. only looked around at the crashed party, she started to tear up, so she ran into her house, and up the stairs, and slammed the door behind her.
Travis eased his way up the stairs and around the corner, he opened the door to Holly J.'s room, and he wrapped his arms around the crying girl, "It's gonna be okay, babe" Travis whispered so only Holly J. could hear him, she then snuggled into his arm and sniffled one more time before saying, "Thank you", and Travis smiled.
