Chapter 12-

Friday had finally come. After convincing her mom to let her go, Mrs. Camden finally agreed to let Ruthie go to the mall and party. Mrs. Camden figured that she would just have to accept that her daughter was now hanging out with a different group of people. Ruthie and Ashley had the whole weekend planned out. On Friday after school Mrs Camden was going to take Ashley and Ruthie to the mall. After the mall, Mrs Camden would drop Ruthie and Ashley off at the movie theater to meet Jared and Jason. They would see a movie and then they would go out to eat. Ashley was staying the night at Ruthie's house too. On Saturday, Ruthie and Ashley would go over Ashley house and just hang out for a little. They would get ready for the party and Mrs. Thomas would come and pick thmem up. Jared, Jason, Ruthie and Ashley would then go to get something to eat then go to the party. When the party was over, Mrs. Thomas would pick up them and take Ruthie and Ashley to Ashley's house and Ruthie would spend the night there. On Sunday, everyone was going to hang out together at the pool hall. Ruthie and Ashley could tell it was going to be a great weekend.

Friday after school, Jason and Jared walked Ruthie and Ashley to the car. Ruhtie hugged Jason and said "we'll call you when were leaving the mall. OK."

"Yea. See you tonight sweetie." Jason said as Ruthie got into the car. Jared and hugged Ashley and then she climbed in. Mrs Camden drove away.

"So did you guys have a good day at school?" Mrs Camden asked.

"Yea." they answered in unision. Ruthie and Ashley were sitting in the back seat laughing the whole way to the mall.

When they got there Mrs. Camden pulled up to the curb and said "I'll meet you guys out here at 5:30. If you are late then you aren't going to the party tomorrow. Oh, wait inside there. I don't want you two standing out here alone. Understand?"

"Yeah mom. Bye see ya later!" Ruthie said.

"So you want to go to Hot Topic first?" Ashley asked Ruthie.

"Yeah. I need to get some clothes and an outfit for the party." Ruthie said.

"Yeah I need to get and outfit too." Ashley said. So they walked to Hot Topic. They looked around for a while.

"How about this?" Ruthie asked Ashley holding up a cute pair of jeans and a black spaghetti strap shirt that had flames on it and said "Hottie."

"Cute. Get that and we can get accessories to make it look better." Ashley said.

"OK" Ruthie kept looking and then Ashley found something.

"How about this?" She asked. She was holding up an outfit similar to Ruthie's except the shirt was white and it had skulls on it.

"Perfect!" Ruthie said.

"That will be $67.58." The woman at the register said. Ruthie had gotten six shirts, five pairs of pants, a skull hoodie, and accessories. She would now feel more "in place" at the table at lunch.

"Do you want to go to Icing's now to get makeup?" Ashley asked.

Ruthie knodded and they went to Icing's. Ruthie bought eyeliner, eyeshadow, lip gloss,and mascara.

When they were done, Ruthie looked at her watch. It was only 5:00. They still had a half hour left.

"Do you want to get something to eat?" Ruthie asked Ashley.

"Sure Why not?" So they went over to the pizza place and got soemthing to eat.

When they were done, Ruthie and Ashley walked over to the mall entrance and waited for her mom.

"Ashley, do yougot your cell on you. I got to call Jason?" She asked.

"Yeah. Which reminds me... I have to call Jared." She handed Ruthie her cell phone. Ruthie dialed Jason's number and he picked up.

"Hello!"

"Hey Jason it's Ruthie. My mom is on her way to come and pick us up. You and Jared gonna meet us at the movie theater?" she asked.

"Yeah. I'll call Jared and get my mom to drive us over. See you soon." Jason said.

"OK. Bye Love ya!" Ruthie said.

"Bye and love ya more." he said. Ruthie giggled and so did he they said bye and hung up.

"Jason said he'd call Jared and meet us there soon." Ruthie told Ashley handing her her cell phone back.

"OK. Your moms here," she said pointing out the door.

They got into the car and Mrs. Camden drove them to the movie theater. They got there and saw Jason and Jared.

"Hey. Miss me?" she asked giggling.

"Yeah, So what movie do you want to see?" Jason asked.

"How about 8 Mile?" Ashley asked.

"That sounds good." Ruthie said.

"Well then its 8 Mile." Jason said.

They all bought their tickets and got their snacks. They went in and sat down. The movie started and they all watched it. After the movie was done, they all went and got something to eat. They all talked and had a good time together. When they were done, Ashley's mom came and picked everyone up and then took them home. She dropped Ashley off at Ruthie's house and then left.

Ruthie and Ashley went upstairs and hung out for the rest of the night. They couldn't wait until tomorrow night when they would be at the party.
