"So do you think we should go?" Ashley Kerwin asked Ellie Nash, referring to Spinner Mason's big party. She took a bite out oh her ham and cheese sandwich.
"I don't know." Ellie replied. "I guess so, I mean we aren't doing anything else tonight right?"
"Right!" Ashley said. "So it's official."
"Hey girls!" Ellie looked away from Ashley to see a familiar face.
"Hey Marco," Ashley said cheerfully. "What's up?"
"Nothing much," he answered. "Are you two going to Spinner's party?"
"Sure," Ellie replied. "You?"
"If you are then I'm there." Marco said, winking at her.
"Well, I'm gonna go to the girl's washroom," Ellie said. "I'll see you guys in class."
*~*~*~*~*~*
Ring! Ring!
Ellie shot straight up in her bed. She had fallen asleep on her couch when she got home from school. She rubbed her eyes and headed for the phone.
"Hello?"
"Ellie?" it was Ashley. "Are you ready? Because I'm gonna come by and we can walk there together."
"Huh?" Ellie said yawning. "Oh the party!"
"Yeah silly." Ashley said.
"I'm ready!" Ellie lied. "Come on by."
"Okay, bye" Ashley said and hung up.
Ellie hung up the phone and walked into her bathroom. She didn't really care what she looked like but she didn't have to look like a total disaster. She reapplied some black eye liner and pulled her hair back into a pony tail, adding some funky braids. She brushed her teeth and put on some lip gloss. After that, she walked upstairs and into her room and checked herself out in her mirror. She wore a white button up-sleevless shirt that revealed her black bra straps, a plaid skirt with black fishnet tights and black boots.
Ellie put her hands on her hips and shrugged. This was as good as it was gonna get for now. She walked out of her room and downstairs and grabbed her house keys that were dangling from a hook on the kitchen wall. She wrote her parents a note, saying that she was spending the night at Ashley's, which she was.
Ding dong!
"Coming!" Ellie called in direction of her front door. She opened the door and saw Ashley.
"You look great," Ashley said. "Let's go!"
"Thanks." Ellie said, closing her door and locking it.
The two girls headed down the street towards Spinner's house.
*~*~*~*~*~*
As Ellie and Ashley approached the house, they could tell that it was already getting crazy.
"Wow," Ashley said, smiling. "This should be interesting."
"Uh, yeah." Ellie said, knocking on the door.
The door opened right away. "Hey girls." Jimmy, Ashley's ex-boyfriend said. "Come on in we need this party to be a little freaky!"
Ashley walked past him rolling her eyes. Ellie followed her.
She looked around seeing no one that she knew until they walked into the living room where she saw Spinner, Marco, Jimmy, Paige and Hazel. They were all holding a beer in their hand. Ellie took a seat next to Marco on the couch. Ashley sat next to her.
"Hey El." Marco said. "Glad you came."
"Hey Marcy! I see your girlfriend is here. She looks good." Spinner yelled, he was obviously drunk.
"Shut up, idiot." Marco shouted over the music.
"It's just that, what's the point of her being here if all she does is sit there and look cute?" Spinner yelled. "Tell her to do something wild for once."
"I can hear you." Ellie called. "You don't have to communicate with me through Marco."
"Then do something fun!" Spinner yelled. "Your boring!"
Ellie's foreheard scrunched up, partly from being annoyed and partly from being angry. She opened the mini fridge and grabbed a beer.
"Ellie don't listen to him." Marco said. "You don't have to do that."
Ellie ignore him and opened the beer. She started chugging it until it was completely gone. Then she slammed it down on the table.
"Whatever!" Spinner yelled. "Is that all you got?"
"Spinner, leave her alone." Paige said, lightly hitting him on the arm.
Ellie felt her forehead scrunch up again. Then remember what else she had seen in the fridge. She opened it again and took out a bottle of vodka.
"Yeah right!" Spinner shouted to her. "Straight vodka?"
"Ellie!" Ashley said with a worried look upon her face.
But Ellie ignored them. She unscrewed the lid and started chugging it. She almost gagged at the taste but she just kept going.
"Ellie!" Marco grabbed the bottle from her. "What are you doing?!"
Suddenly, Ellie had no idea what was going on, but she knew that no one would ever call her boring again.
*~*~*~*~*~*
"Ellie!" Marco called out as she fell to the floor. He got up and grabbed her arm and pulled her to her feet.
Ellie looked and saw the worry in his eyes. "I'm fine!"
Ellie pulled her arm away from Marco's grasp. She snatched his beer from his hand and started chugging it down.
"El!" Marco pulled the beer away from her and sat down.
"What's wrong Marco?" Ellie said, sitting on his lap. "Why don't you just have some fun like Spinner said!"
"Ellie this isn't like you!" Ashley said. "You should calm down."
"I'm just having some fun!" Ellie said. "Why don't you stop acting like your my mother!"
"El, I'm just trying to help you..."
"No you just want me to be boring." Ellie argued. "I'm outta here."
Ellie stood up uneasily. She felt dizzy but walked out of the room anyway.
"I'm not gonna be boring anymore." Ellie said to herself, walking through the house. She headed for the staircase when she felt someone bump into her. She quickly spun around.
"Emma!"
It was Emma Nelson, one of the eighth graders at Degrassi C.S.
"Ellie?" Emma looked at her with a confused expression on her face. "Hey have you seen Sean here?"
"No," Ellie answered. "But I'll tell him you were looking for him if I do."
"Thanks." Emma said.
Ellie shrugged and walked up the stairs. When she reached the top she fell to the floor.
"Whoa!" Ellie felt someone help her to her feet. She opened her eyes and saw Sean Cameron. "You okay?"
"What?"
Sean put her arm around his shoulders and led her into Spinner's bedroom. He helped her sit down on the bed.
"Thank you..." Ellie said, falling backwards and hitting her head on the wall.
"Jeez!" Sean helped her back up. He put his hand on her back to support her. "Maybe you should go home Ellie, you don't look too good."
"I can't," Ellie said. "I'm sleeping over Ashley's right?"
"Oh." Sean replied.
"Wait!" Ellie's eyes opened wide. "Emma was looking for you."
"Whatever..." Sean said, and quickly changed the subject. "Are you sure your okay?"
"No." Ellie said smiling. She fell backwards again only this time she was smart enough to aim her head towards the pillow. "I'm okay."
"Your out of it is what you are." Sean said. "What did you drink?"
"Come closer." she said.
"What?"
Ellie took his hands and pulled him closer to her. She looked into his eyes. Ellie knew that he was supposed to be some bad-ass, but all she felt right now was warmth and comfort.
Sean leaned down and kissed her.
*~*~*~*~*~*
"Spin, hun, your party..." Paige said. "...it's getting lame."
"No way dude!" Spinner argued. "My party rocks."
"Spinner," Jimmy cut in. "She has a point. Lets do something."
"Spin the Bottle!" Paige suggested.
"Thats sounds fun." Hazel agreed.
"Thats way childish Paige." Ashley said.
"Is it Ashley?" Paige asked. "Because I think taking drugs, cheating on your boyfriend, and acting like a total moron is childish."
Ashley's mouth dropped open. "Well at least I..."
"Girls..." Marco interupted the fight. "Chill out."
Paige took the last sip from her beer and placed the bottle on the table. "We're playing Spin the Bottle."
The group were already in some sort of circle. Jimmy, Marco and Ashley were on one couch while Spinner, Hazel and Paige were across from them on the other couch.
"Marco can spin first." Paige said. "Well, go ahead."
Marco put his hand on the bottle. He knew he liked guys, but he wished to god that it landed on a girl, for his sake. Marco closed his eyes and spun it...
"I knew you were a fag!" Spinner said.
Marco opened his eyes and saw that the bottle was pointed directly at Spinner.
"But I'm not kissing you." Spinner added.
"I'll go." Ashley said. She grabbed the bottle and spun it. She watched it spin around and around and around and then it stopped. It pointed at Jimmy.
Ashley and Jimmy looked at eachother.
"Well!" Paige said inpatiently.
Ashley leaned over Marco and kissed Jimmy quickly, she leaned away when Jimmy pulled her close again and kissed her passionatley.
"Oooo!" Paige said. "Looks like Romeo wants Juliet again."
Jimmy stopped kissing Ashley and gave Paige a dirty look.
"What?" She asked.
Marco looked at Jimmy. "Just don't ever do that again with me in the middle!"
"You liked it!" Spinner said.
"Shut up!" Marco said angrily. "I'm out of here."
*~*~*~*~*~*
"Sean?" Ellie asked, looking up into his eyes. "Will you ever break my heart?"
"What, no." Sean replied, brushing a piece of loose hair from her face. "Who could ever do that to you?"
"Marco..." Ellie answered, she looked at Sean's confused face. Everyone thought that Marco was in love with her, but of course that was impossible. "I really liked Marco a lot, and he had me thinking there was hope for a while. We aren't really a couple it's only a cover up."
"You mean..."
"He's gay." Ellie explained.
"What did you call me?"
Ellie and Sean looked up and saw Marco standing in the doorway, Emma was by his side.
"Sean!" Emma cried. She turned and ran.
Sean got up off of Ellie and went to follow Emma. When he approached the doorway Marco shoved him.
"What the hell are you doing with my girl?" Marco said in a threatening tone.
"Your girl?" Sean asked grinning, "Shouldn't you be looking for a guy?"
"Fuck you!" Marco shouted, shoving Sean again, almost knocking him off his balance.
"You wanna fight?" Sean asked, holding up his hands. "Come on then!"
"Stop!" Ellie cried. She stumbled on her weak legs over to them. "Please stop."
"Ellie just stay out of this," Marco demanded. "You've already caused enough damage."
Sean grabbed Marco and shoved him up against the bedroom wall. Ellie ran over to them and tried to pull Sean off of Marco. She suddenly felt light-headed, and collapsed.
*~*~*~*~*~*
"Ellie?"
Ellie woke up to the sound of Ashley's voice. Where was she? What was going on? Ellie sat up quickly, realizing that she had a killer headache.
"Oww..." Ellie groaned. "What's going on?"
"Time for school." Ashley said, yawning. "I know I'm tired too but we have to go."
"Wait a minute," Ellie said holding up here hands. "How did I get here?"
"Um," Ashley bit her lip. "We walked?"
"I don't remember coming here." Ellie added.
"Well I'm not surprised." Ashley said firmly. "You were quite trashed at that party last night!"
"The party!" Suddenly the night before all came back to her. Ellie dropped back down and pulled the covers over her face. "I'm not going to school, no way."
"You have to," Ashley pulled the covers off of her. "Now let's go."
"Fine," Ellie said, crawling out of bed.
Ellie walked past Ashley and into Ashley's bathroom. She looked at herself in the mirror. She was wearing the same clothes that she had on the night before and had smudged eye liner down her cheeks.
"Ew!" Ellie looked out the door and saw Ashley. "I'm jumping in the shower!"
"Okay!" Ashley called back. "Just be quick."
"And I'm gonna have to borrow some of your clothes!" Ellie said.
"Okay!"
*~*~*~*~*~*
"Hey, if it isn't Miss Party Girl!"
Ellie looked to her left side and saw Spinner. She rolled her eyes and brought her attention back to Ashley.
"...don't worry about him" Ashley assured her.
Ellie just wished no one would remember anything that happened last night. She remember most of what happened, although she wished she didn't.
"I'll meet you in class," Ellie said. "I have to grab something from my locker."
"Alright," Ashley said smiling. "See ya."
Ellie walked with Ashley until they reached her locker and they parted. Ellie held her books with one arm and grabbed the combination with her free hand. 27-16-24. She opened her locker and grabbed her Media Immersion notebook.
"Ellie?"
Ellie dropped her books and froze. She slowly turned around.
"Hi...hi Sean." Ellie said, tucking a piece of loose hair behind her ear.
"How are you feeling today?" Sean asked, taking a step closer to her.
Ellie turned around and slammed her locker shut. The sound affected her headache and she closed her eyes for a second. "Fine." She said turning to face him again.
"Well," Sean said, stepping closer. "I was wondering..."
"I gotta go." Ellie walked past him and headed to class.
*~*~*~*~*~*
"So do you think we should go?" Ashley Kerwin asked Ellie Nash, referring to Spinner Mason's big party. She took a bite out oh her ham and cheese sandwich.
