Two days later, it was a Friday night, and the girls were gathered at Spinelli's house for a sleepover. Well, for most of them in attendance, they were there for that reason. For one however, the sleepover was just a cover so she could sneak out and go on a date.

"How do I look?" Gretchen asked worriedly, checking her reflection in the mirror. "Oh, gosh this shirt makes my boobs look too small! Anyone have a spare water bra or falsies I can borrow?"

"Um, yeah, right here in my back pocket," Sammi said sarcastically. "Why would I carry them around with me? Besides, you look fine, that shirt is cute. You don't want to go overboard by enhancing too much,"

"Besides, why do you care so much about how you look? You're just going to a movie," Jenn reminded her. "Sammi's right, you look fine. Just relax."

I need to look perfect for tonight. I mean, I finally scored a date with Digger Sam! No one ever scores a date with him! He's been so anti- social since he broke up with Ashley B. But I have a feeling I can change that tonight." Gretchen smiled. "After all, what guy can resist me? That is why I need to make sure all of me looks sexy tonight"

"Oh, for the love of Mike, you aren't all that!" Jessie rolled her eyes. "Not every guy is so into you. I think you need to deflate your head a bit there."

"Hun, when a guy is interested in you, you will be acting like me too and wishing you had my charms," Gretchen smirked at the dark skinned girl. "Your time will come, don't worry, right now why don't you single girls just forget that you are sitting home on a Friday night and watch your little chick flicks?"

"Yeah, Gretch, sneaking out and using Spinelli as a cover is hardly a good way to spend a Friday night. Not only is it sneaky but it's wrong!" Vicki shook her head. "Why didn't you just leave for your date from your own house?"

"Because," Gretchen said slowly, as if she were talking to a little kid. "My parents would never let me date and my bedroom window is on the second floor, so I can't exactly jump out of there to go on my date. Plus Spinelli is such a dear and lets me stay here most Friday nights, not to mention if I have a date on a school night, I can use the study group excuse. So it's all good."

"Until you get caught and your ass is in trouble with your parents," Jessie shot back, still annoyed by her friend's attitude and behavior.

"Like that's going to happen. I am a genius remember, I know how to keep my lies straight, that is, if you all can keep your mouths shut."

"We will, just promise us you'll be careful," Kellie cautioned her. "You're our friend and the last thing we want is for you to get into some sort of trouble."

"Stop worrying! I'll be fine!" Gretchen said, gathering the last of her makeup and taking one last look in the mirror. "I still say my boobs look to small, but I still look hot. Besides, I don't want to have fake ones in if something does happen between us. I just hope he isn't a bad kisser like Phil, although I doubt he is as good at some stuff as Gus is. Sammi, you have no idea what you missed out on."

"Whatever, you know I'm not that kind of girl Gretchen and that Gus is a player and not my type. Besides, I'm happy being single for now. That is, until I work up the nerve to ask Hustler Kid out. The guy is so sweet and tough, and it helps that he is gorgeous!"

"Well, I hope you guys are as happy as Bob and I are, because you all deserve it," Jenn told them with a smile as she looked at the clock sitting on Spinelli's desk. "Speaking of being happy, Gretch isn't Digger Sam gonna be here soon?"

"Yikes, you're right I better go! Leave your door unlocked, ok, Spin?" Gretchen called as she walked out the room.

"Yeah sure," Spinelli grumbled, speaking for the first time that night.

"You ok, Spinelli?" Kellie asked, looking at her friend with concern.

"Fine, it's just that I am sick of this. She is my best friend and she is just using me and turning into the biggest slut in America. I swear, she is starting to make Britney Spears look like a prude. I just wish I knew why she was doing this. She has so much going for her, or she did, until she stopped studying and started going out every night. The only reason her GPA is still high is because she gives Menlo a little something- something in exchange for changing her grades on the computer."

"Ew, Menlo? Gosh, that's just nasty!" Vicki wrinkled her nose in disgust. "Why is she that desperate? And why is Menlo suddenly breaking the rules like that?"

"I don't know, Vicki, but it seems like a lot has changed. I mean who knew that people would turn out the way they did? I mean Mikey and Randal are thugs dressing like weird Eminem eighties like thugs and acting all tough, Teej is fighting for the justice of the school and those in need by being in that gang, and now Gretchen is becoming the freaking Paris Hilton of Washington High. I mean, what is going on?" Spinelli looked as if she were about to cry.

"Spin, it's ok, people change, but things are going to be fine, I promise, It's not like anyone is getting arrested or dealing drugs. Attitudes and outlooks on life changed. I am sure that they are still the same people on the inside," Jenn assured her friend, giving her a hug.

If only Jenn knew how wrong she was.............and how nothing could prepare them for what was about to happen.............
