"So, over the weekend, be sure to rewrite this, okay?" Ms. Kwan said to Ashley after class. Ashley nodded as she took the paper and walked away. She turned to see Ellie.

"So, are you still going to make that appearance?" Ashley asked with a smile.

"I doubt it," Ellie nodded.

"Ugh, Elle! Come on! It's not going to be all that crazy," Ashley shrugged.

"No, just a whole bunch of peer-pressure which I really don't need," Ellie said.

"You mean, the whole Marco thing?" Ashley said. Ellie looked at Ashley.

"Maybe," Ellie said. "I'll call you later," Ellie said walking off. Ashley followed Ellie's trail out the door. Ashley looked up to find, Craig Sean and Amya standing there talking. Ashley smiled.

"I have all the things at home, except food," Ashley chuckled.

"A party with no food?" Craig sighed.

"Calm down, calm down," Ashley grinned as she turned to Amya, " Amya and Sean can go get it while you and me set up at home," Ashley nodded. Amya looked at Sean, they both smiled. "C'mon Craig," Ashley said walking down the steps tugging on his arm.

"Yes, ma'am," Craig said following her. Amya waved.

"Hey! We need money!" Amya yelled. Ashley rolled her eyes as she pulled out $10 dollar bill out her pocket.

"Chips, pop, whatever!" Ashley said. Ashley caught up with Craig and laced her arm in his. Amya nodded as she looked up at Sean

Sean stuck his hands in his pockets as the two walked down the street, kicking the rocks wherever he saw them. Amya casually looked over at his face, you could tell she made him nervous.

"So, things working out with you and Emma okay?" Amya asked with interest.

"Not so much," Sean replied.

"Oh, how come?" Amya said asking for an explanation.

"I don't know she's just, I don't know," Sean said revealing his left dimple. Amya smiled.

"Don't be upset, I'm sure things will work out," Amya said in a lie. Sean looked up at her.

"I don't want it to," Sean said stopping. Amya didn't smile neither did Sean. But they continued to walk, not knowing how the party would end.

Ashley pulled out some chips, pop, candy and other goods from a cabinet.

"Oh look, I forget I already had bought this, darn it," Ashley chuckled. Setting them up on the table Craig and herself set up. Craig laughed back sitting them up straight. Kate appeared through the kitchen lifting her purse on her shoulder.

"I'll be back home at 11:30, which means everyone leaves at 11:00 and the house should look half-way decent by the time I get back," Kate reminded her.

"Yes, mom," Ashley rolled her eyes.

"Jeff and I are going out to eat and then we'll find out what to do after that. Now, you behave yourself," Kate said walking out the door.

"Moms," Ashley shook her head. She looked over at Craig.

"So, what next?" Craig shrugged.

"This looks horrible! Where are all the things that glow in the dark?" Toby said looking around.

"I said you could stay, not became boss," Ashley looked at him.

"Whatever, I won't be down here anyways, well most of the night," Toby nodded.

"Toby, if you do anything and I mean ANYTHING to ruin this party I will ruin you, you have full responsibility for your little, friends, who attend. Which means they don't bring things that are ILLIGAL! Got it?" Ashley warned him.

"Ash, don't act like you didn't do anything wrong like, I don't know, taking things that are ILLIGAL," Toby reminded her. Ashley made a face and narrowed her eyes to his. Toby walked up to his room.

"Kill me," Ashley sighed. Craig laughed a little.

"Were done, right?" Craig asked. Ashley looked around and nodded.

"I think, OH MY GOSH! We need the black lights and we have to pick out the music," Ashley panicked. Craig laughed.

"Calm down, party isn't for awhile," Craig reminded her.

"You're right. I'll do the lighting you do the music," Ashley sighed. Craig nodded and headed to the stereo. He pulled out a case of CD's Ashley stored for ordering. He opened it up.

"Just, pick out the ones you think people might like and put them in order, like when to play them and stuff," Ashley said over his shoulder.

"Cool," Craig nodded. He pulled out a CD. He laughed at it. "How old is this? Is this like from the 19-"

"Gross, I hate plain chips, I need spice," Amya said walking in with Sean as they debated about the chips. Ashley and Craig looked up at the two.

"House looks great," Sean nodded observing.

"What can I say? I'm very creative," Ashley smiled looking over at Craig. Sean closed the door behind him and looked at Amya as they began to laugh.

"You two look awfully happy," Ashley watched.

"Um, I'm kind of thirsty, I'm going to go get me some water," Amya said walking into the kitchen. Sean followed. Ashley looked back over at Craig.

"You don't think," she whispered.

"Nah"

Suddenly there was a knock at the door. Ashley peered over at it.

"They shouldn't be arriving this early," Ashley shrugged. Ashley walked over to it and opened the door.

"Oh hi um-"

"I need to talk to Craig, NOW"

A/N: Oh, yeah! Cliffhanger. Anywho, who could it be? Let me just tell you know this will not be the first surprise. there is something in this story that will make your head spin! But you'll have to wait and see what that is. want a hint?
