"Bye Ma!" Lux called through the house and she closed the front door.
"Wow, you look so pretty," Paige said behind her in a singsong teasing kind of voice.
"Thanks, so you do. Are you sure I'm dressed right?" she asked her friend unsure of are attire as she looked down at her low-riding jeans and gray sweater. It was cut low so the purple tank top underneath with a lace trim showed through.
"Yeah, you're dressed fine. Sure you're not trying to impress anyone?" Paige asked raising her eyebrows.
"Yes! Besides, who could I be possibly trying to impress?"
"Oh I don't know. A boy by the name of Sean Cameron."
"Paige I just met the guy! And I don't know why you are convinced the like the kid when I showed him the exact same amount of affection I showed everyone else," Lux said.
"I just have a knack for these things. And Spinner agrees with me."
"So are you and Spinner together?" Lux asked. Paige smiled to herself,
"Yeah, he's a great boyfriend. And he sure knows how to throw a party. His parents are out of town, so this party is going to be out of control. Oh, you're parents aren't totaling controlling are they?"
"How do you mean?"
"You know, they aren't going to mind if you come home a little buzzed are they?"
"Umm, yes they are. They would flip out!" Lux said raising her eyebrows.
"Ohh, that's too bad. So I guess your options are staying sober or spending the night at Spinners," Paige added. "Oh but don't worry, tons of people will stay at Spinner's including me," she added with a twinkle in her eye.
"Ugh, no thanks Paige, I don't need to spend the night listening to whatever you two do," Lux responded. Paige laughed,
"Don't get your hopes up. We aren't that serious." Lux paused, and then asked,
"So why do you hate Sean so much?"
"what gave you that idea?"
"Well, you weren't that friendly to him in the café." Paige rolled her eyes,
"It's just that Sean is such an underachiever. I can bet you 10 bucks that tonight he's gonna spend the entire night at the party surrounded by a cloud of smoke. I mean, he lives with his brother in this rundown house and at Jimmy's party a while back, he came there totally drunk and being a total prick to his girlfriend. If I were Emma, I wouldn't want to get back together with him."
"Is she the blond one?" Lux asked thoughtfully.
"Yeah, and she is like, totally in love with him, even though they aren't together anymore. But whatever, its really not my business anyways. If you want to get with Sean, be my guest. I might even be nice to him for your sake," she added generously.
They finally reached the house, and the crowd was already really big. "Here we are," Paige introduced as she pushed open the door. As if conjured, Spinner popped out from the crowd and landed a kiss on Paige.
"Hey babe, finally joining the party." He said.
"Yes, and I know this party was nothing without me," Paige said semi- seriously. Spinner began to drag Paige into the crowd, leaving Lux looking around the room for people she knew. Finally deciding that she knew no one, she made her way over to a counter where a bowl of chips lay. As she reached for one, she heard,
"hey Lux." Lux turned around and was faced by Craig and Jimmy.
"Oh, hey you two," she said smiling at them.
"Did you come here by yourself?" Craig asked looking around for Paige or Hazel.
"Well I came here with Paige, but as soon as we got here Spinner dragged her off somewhere." Lux answered.
"Ahh yes, probably to the make out room." Jimmy said knowledgably as Craig cracked up next to him.
"There's a make-out room here?" Lux asked surprised.
"Oh Lux, Lux, Lux, there's a room for everything here, didn't they have parties in Cali?" Jimmy asked with an air of explaining something to a child.
"Of course they did," Lux said immediately, "I just didn't expect you Canadians to be so advanced," she added with a sarcastic grin.
"Ouch, beer?" Jimmy offered as he held on to a bottle.
"No thanks, I gotta head home tonight and I wouldn't want to face the parentals wrath."
"I see, wise decision. So why don't Craig and I show you all the rooms we have going on up in here," Jimmy said as he threw his arm around Lux's shoulder and guided her through the house and up the stair with Craig trailing. "Now, to the right you will see the make-out room," Jimmy said as Craig nudged the door open. Sure enough, the lights were off and it was quiet. Lux tried to see if Sean was in there, but Craig closed the door relatively quickly. Jimmy continued down the hall with her. "And over here," he added, "is the 'Halo' room." Craig opened that door and once again, there was a group of students crowded around an X Box.
"Looks like fun," Lux said sarcastically.
"Yeah, that's usually where Toby and his gang hang out with Kendra, don't know what we are going to do with those cool juniors," Craig said rolling his eyes.
"And over here, is the 'Smoking-Up' room," Jimmy said as he opened the door to that one. The atmosphere was heavy and the room was filled with a strong scent of pot.
"Hey Lux," came a voice from within. Lux looked surprised since she didn't expect to know anyone from within. Her eyes hunted for the source of the voice through the smoke, and they finally landed on Sean. Of course, he has to be a doggie. Lux thought to herself.
"Hey Sean," she answered apprehensively.
"Having a good time?" he asked.
"Yeah, and I take it you are too?" she asked as he inhaled deeply on a joint.
"Oh yeah, a blast. Want to take a hit?" he asked holding out the joint to her. Lux shook her head.
"no, but thanks for the offer," she said as she backed out of the room.
"Oh gross Lux, please don't tell me you were hanging out with those losers?" Lux heard Paige ask from behind her. She had just emerged from the make-out room.
"what? Oh no, don't worry. Jimmy and Craig were just showing me around." Lux added. "so tell me boys, which one of these rooms do you hang out in?"
"We are what we like to call floaters." Craig said sagely.
"So basically, wherever the hot girls are?" Paige asked wittily as Spinner sniggered.
"Basically, got not need to hide it," Jimmy said openly and he took a swig of his beer. "Anyways, I'm feeling a little bit antsy so I'm gonna go find myself a chica to hook up with, unless you're interested Lux?"
"Uh, no thanks Jimmy," Lux answered grinning.
"Good choice," Paige added. "So, anyone interesting in that room?" she asked pointing to the room filled with smoke.
"Guess you won the bet. Looks like he's going to be spending the entire night in there," Lux added.
"What bet?" came a voice from behind. Paige turned around and was face to face with Sean, who closed the door behind him and turned to face Lux. Paige grinned and looked at Lux.

"Manny! He's being completely selfish!" Emma complained to her friend from the couch where they were sitting.
"Emma, this is how he's always been." Manny tried to explain.
"No he wasn't! I mean, ok, he has always gotten drunk, but this pot thing has been a new thing, and I hate who he's hanging out with! It's like he doesn't even want to see me anymore. He's so taken aback with jimmy and craig." Emma added bitterly.
"Well they are his friends, it's like J.T. not wanting to hang out with Toby, it never happens."
"It does happen with J.T. wants to hang out with a girl." Manny just sighed.
"Then go talk to him, if you want to see him so badly."
"There is no way I'm going into that pot infested room. I'm not breathing in second hand smoke that is illegal in every way possible." Emma retorted.
"You're drinking and illegal beverage," Manny pointed out as Emma was about to take a sip from a hard lemonade. Emma just glared at her friend. "Anyways, maybe you wont have to go into the room," Manny said as she glanced up the stairs. Emma followed her gaze and saw Sean emerge from the room and proceed to pick up a conversation with Paige and that new girl.
"Why is he talking to Paige? Of all people, and she is such a completely bitch to him. I'm surprised she's actually talking to that new girl."
"Lux?" Manny questioned.
"You know her?"
"Well, Paige introduced us when I ran in to her before cheerleading practice." Manny tried to explain, "she's really nice Emma, you should meet her." But Emma was too busy glaring at sean, who was now picking up a conversation with that new girl, Lux.
"I don't think so."
* * * *
"What bet?" sean asked again.
"You don't look very affected by all that pot," Lux said quickly trying to avoid answering the question.
"yeah, well, you know, I've built up my tolerance." Sean said, his eyes glittering.
"That stuff is gonna give you cancer," Lux said in a nonchalant type of voice. Sean just shrugged his shoulders.
"I need a drink. Can I get you one?" he asked Lux.
"No thanks."
"Ohh, I see, little ms. Life of the party doesn't drink, or do drugs might I add."
"That sounds about right," Lux said airly. Sean surveyed her for a moment, and then started down the stairs. Lux rolled her eyes. "I see where you're coming from now Paige," she said snappily.
"Really?" paige asked unbelievably.
"yeah, why so surprised?" Paige looked at her friend for a moment before answering,
"Well, I thought you two would hit it off or something." Lux gave a short laugh,
"Oh no, I don't have time to deal with druggies/alcoholics. Emma can have him for all I care," Lux said as she headed down the stairs, leaving Paige looking impressed.
Ok, that's all for now, this is a pretty long chapter, so I hope you enjoyed it.
Is that going to be it for Lux and Sean.? Please review!
