"Come on mum you so have to let me go to this party. It's Eleana's 16th birthday. Please? Pretty please with cherries on top?"
"I don't know Kaylee. I don't like the idea of you going out parting with people that I don't know."
"But you know most of them. Please mum? Jaimee and Kirsten will be there. You know them. And the others are just people from school, or Eleana's relatives. Please?"
"Well. I suppose you can."
"Thank you so much mum!" Kaylee screamed as she hugged her mother, and then ran into the dinning room to grab the phone.
"I'm ringing Eleana ok mum? And then I'm going to ring Jaimee. K?"
"Alright, but keep it short."
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" she cried as she grabbed the cordless phone, and ran into her bedroom.
"Oh my God," she exclaimed to herself as she rang Eleana's number, "I can't believe how easy it was to get mum to let me go to Lea's party. It's so cool."
"Hello?" asked a voice on the other end.
"Hey Teaz, its Kaylee Gunnar, is Eleana there?"
"Yeah, just a minute Lee."
After a minute, Eleana picked up the phone.
"Y'ello?"
"Hey Lea. S'me. Lee."
"Hey Lee. What's up?"
"Guess?"
"You're allowed to come to my party after all?"
"Yep. Got it right in one. Show the lovely lady what's she's won Buck."
"What?"
"Don't worry. I've been watching too many game shows on TV."
"Oh. Right. Anyway, what are you doing today?"
"Me? Nothing. What bout you?"
"Nothing either. Don't have to baby sit tonight either."
"Cool. Hey, do you wanna go shopping? We could ask Jaimee as well. Or maybe we could go to a movie."
"Movie. I hear Signs is 'sposed to be really good, we could see that?"
"Yeah. I better ask my mum first though. I'll be back in a sec k?"
"Yah. I'll go ask my mum too."
Walking out into the kitchen, Kaylee found her mum cooking a cake.
"What's the cake for mum?"
"For you and Schaffer to take to school."
"Where is Schaf anyway?"
"Across the road at Rain's."
"Ok. Hey mum, can I go to the movies with Lea and Jaimee? If they're allowed to go?"
"I dunno."
"Please mum? I don't what to have to start begging again."
"Ok. What are you going to see? And when? And who's paying? And how are you getting there and back here?"
"Hold your horses mum. We're seeing Signs, at noon, I'll pay and I'll ask Schaf to take me 'n' Lea in and ask Lea's mum to bring us home."
"Ok then. Have fun."
"Sweet. I love you mum. You're the coolest."
"You're welcome honey. Are you sure that you're all right to pay for it? I could pay for the ticket."
"Nah it's cool mum. I worked like ten hours on Monday, and they paid me double time and a half cause it was Labour Day. So I have plenty of money in my bank at the minute. I think I'm up to 'bout a thousand maybe. Anyway, I have to go back and tell Lea it's ok. Thanks."
Running back to her room, she lay down on her bed and picked up the phone just in time to hear Lea ask if she was there.
"Yah. I'm here. What did you're mum say?"
"She said that's cool, as long as I pay."
"Kool. I'll ring Jaimee k? Oh and if you want Schaf can take us in and your mum could bring us home after we've shopped for awhile. K?
"Sure. I'll tell mum. What times the movie by the way?"
"Noon. So we'll pick you up 'bout 11:30, k?"
"Sure. See you then Lee. Bye."
"Bye."
Hanging up the phone, Kaylee dropped it on the bed, and rolled onto her back.
"Hey mum, Lea said it's cool that Schaf can take us in and her mum will bring us home. K?"
"Ok, Kaylee."
Kaylee picked up the phone again, but this time she dialed Jaimee's number.
"Hello. Jaimee here."
"Hey Jam. S'me. Lee."
"Oh hey Lee. What's up?"
"I get to go to Lea's party."
"You're joking? I thought you're mum would never let you."
"I know. But she finally gave in. And she said I could go to the movies to see Signs in an hour. You want to come? Lea's allowed to come too."
"Hell yeah. Just let me ask."
A minute passed and Lee could hear someone yelling in the background.
"You there Lee?"
"Where would I have gone?"
"To the moon? Anyway, mum says yes but Nadir want's to come too. Is that ok?"
"S'fine by me."
"Kool. You can come Nadir," she yelled at her twin brother.
"He said thank you. How are you and Lea getting in?"
"Schaf. And Lea's mum's taking us home."
"Could we get a lift in with you? Cause Dustan has the car and isn't coming home till tonight."
"That's cool. I'll see you in half an hour?"
"Sure."
"Wait a sec. Me 'n' Lea want to go shopping afterward, you want to come?"
"Cool. Count me in. Cya then."
"Cya."

Well that's it for the minute. I'll write more shortly but now I have to go eat some lunch. If there's anything edible in the house.
