Author's Note: Thank you for all of the nice reviews, my teachers are being so friendly lately so I now have time for my beloved story. Enjoy!
Ellie ran into her bedroom and caught her phone on the 3rd ring. She was in a rush and wasn't in the mood to talk to her on the phone, but the voice on the phone made her burst with happiness. "Marco," she said. "Is that you?"
"Yes Ellie, I've been trying to talk to you today but you were with Craig and I didn't want to interfere."
"Awwwwww, that's so sweet Marco."
"Yeah," he cleared his throat. "Ellie, are you dating Craig?"
Ellie froze. She couldn't speak. Marco was like her big brother, she couldn't tell him she was with him now, he would never accept it.
"I knew it. Ellie, why didn't you tell me?"
"I-I-I couldn't Marco, I just couldn't."
Marco sighed. "I know Ellie, I understand. I always thought you were more Sean's type."
Ellie smiled. "You know what Marco? You're right. Craig has enough of those sissy younger girls after him. Although I find it sad that I'm going to dump Craig after only 6 hours of dating him."
"Hey Ellie, is that a new record or what? Now I know you're dating Craig, which is good for me, because now I can finally start getting to know the other guys better through their sympathy."
"Marco, you realize that most of the guys will be drunk within the first hour right?"
"Not Jimmy."
"But he'll be with Ashley, right?"
"Umm I guess, but I wouldn't know, Ashley doesn't really talk to me much about her personal life."
"Well, Ellie, just between you and me, I think Jimmy is starting to deal with drugs. I mean, come on, how else could he afford that MP3 player, and those clothes, and how come his eyes are always red?"
"Marco…Ashley wouldn't stay with him if she knew he was into drugs. You know that and I know that, she's better then that."
"You so sure about that? I could have sworn I saw Jimmy with a small bag of white pills today after school."
"They could have been Tylenol," Ellie said.
"Powdery with a little turtle carved on the front?"
"No…Who knows what Jimmy does in his spare time."
"Well you should care. Ashley is your best friend."
Then, before Ellie could reply, the doorbell rang.
"Marco? I've got to go I'll see you at the party alright?"
"Alright, good bye Ellie."
Ellie hung up and ran downstairs. She unlocked the door and was shocked to see Ashley standing in the doorway.
"Ashley, what's up?"
"Ellie," she said. "There's something you need to know. About Jimmy."
"He's doing drugs isn't he?"
Ashley stared at Ellie, shocked. "Y-Yeah, how did you know?"
"I have my ways. Now Ashley, come in and we'll talk."
"I don't want to talk. I want you to come to the party with me so I can break up with Jimmy before he gets high."
Ellie stepped out of the house and closed the door. "I can do that Ashley."
"Thanks Ellie, I knew I could count on you." She gave Ellie a quick hug and ran down the driveway. "Come on, Spinner's is only a few blocks away."
Ellie sighed. "Coming Ashley." She wasn't so sure why Ashley was so happy. Maybe because she was finally getting rid of Jimmy, or because she found someone new. Either way, Ellie couldn't tell Ashley who she planned to dump tonight, it would be too strange for her, she felt bad enough doing it Craig was a good guy but nobody wants to date somebody who has girls already fighting for him. She ran down the driveway and caught up with Ashley. "Lets go." So they left.

Spinner pulled out more beer cans from the fridge and set them up on the kitchen counter, along with 3 bags of Old Dutch BBQ chips and 2 cases of Coke. Terri was upstairs sitting with Kendra helping her perfect her hair and make-up. Spinner was listening to his music and totally ignoring the commotion happening on his front step. He figured it was a pre-party brawl, so he didn't really care. However, he did care when he heard the back door open.
He grabbed his baseball bat and slowly walked towards the back hallway. When he was almost at the door, he listened for the person's footsteps. He couldn't hear any, but he did hear heavy breathing so he raised his baseball bat and when the person walked by, he smacked the person on the top of their head with the bat.
The person stared at Spinner as if unharmed, however, when the person tried to walk forward, the mystery person fell onto the floor, unconscious.
Spinner looked down at the person, and after recognizing the person, felt a pang of guilt. Not knowing what else to do, he dropped his baseball bat and picked the person up. He flung them over his left shoulder and carried them to the basement door. When he got to the door, Spinner opened it and threw the person down the stairs. Then as if nothing happened, he closed the door and locked it so nobody would see nor hear the person again, well, at least at the party anyways. He then resumed his work of setting up for the party.
Author's Note: Well, Spinner has imprisoned this mystery person, now with a few people knowing this person's identity, will we ever learn who this person is? Please read and review.
