Chapter 6 Written by Sister-Cousin

Hazel and Terri are at Paige's house getting ready for the party. They just got back from the grocery store and the party store and bought tons of things for the party. Paige wanted people to be talking about it for a long time. It was going to be the best party ever. At least she hoped so.

"Paige where do you want me to put the purple tube lights?" Hazel asked.

"I don't care. Use your creative side." Paige replied while grabbing a bag of BBQ chips, which happens to be Spinner's favorite. Oh but he's not really that picky when it comes to junk food.

"Alrighty then I still have no idea what I'm doing." Hazel said quietly to herself.

"So how many people are coming, Paige?" Terri asked.

"Oh hopefully the whole school. Do you know how popular I am?"

"Yeah you tell me everyday. Where are your parents?"

"Visiting my Grandma so they won't be back till like Monday or something but definitely not tonight." "It's your house."

"Guys stop worrying about it. Let's just have fun, shall we? Us girls just wanna have fun. I got to go get ready. Are you girls okay with that?" Paige asked.

"Aren't you already dressed?"

"Heck no. I'll be upstairs. Just shout if you need any advice!" She said and then ran up stairs. Her brother was in the bathroom getting ready.

"Hey Dylan, looking good."

"Yep and you looks okay yourself."

"You're funny. I'm not dressed yet. I have the perfect outfit so don't be disappointed if I'm better dressed."

"Ah ha you can keep dreaming."

"Are you going anywhere?"

"Yeah I'm going to go pick someone up? I got to go. I'll be in time for the party. Bye sis!"

"See you later."

Toby was sitting by his computer bored and had absolutely nothing to do. He decided to call Emma because he wasn't speaking to JT anymore. Maybe she wanted to go see a movie or something. Anything but stay home.

"Hey Emma."

"Oh hi Toby! What's up?"

"Nothing. Absolutely nothing and you?" Toby replied.

"Well I'm busy getting ready."

"Ready for what?"

"Paige's party. I can't believe she actually invited me. I'm so excited. Chris and me are going."

"Oh that should be fun. I guess I better let you go."

"No you don't have to hang up. Hey why don't you come with us? It will be fun."

"I don't wanna tag along. You should go and have fun without me and I wasn't even invited. The "in" crowd and me live in completely different worlds."

"Don't think that way. There will be so many people there that even Paige won't know who she invited and didn't invite."

"Uh I don't think so. I'll just do some homework or get a head start on that biology essay."

"If that's what you want. Have fun!" Emma said.

"It's not likely." He said and hung up without even saying good-bye. Then he said, "I don't want to go to a stupid party anyway." But deep inside he wanted to go but what's the use he thought. He would never be welcomed. Chris was at Emma's house and came out of the kitchen with a couple of sodas.

"Emma, what are you thinking about?" Chris asked.

"Toby," She replied.

"Should I be worried about that?"

"Oh it's nothing like that but he just seems unhappy. I tried inviting him to come to the party with us and he turned it down."

"Maybe he just had something else to do."

"I just feel bad. Maybe I should just go hang out with him. He's had a though week."

"I was really excited about the party, Em. You can't please everybody."

"You're right I guess. Come on we better get ready and leave."

"Now that is what I like to hear." Chris said, smiles, and then kissed Emma on the cheek. There was still a couple more hours until the party. Dylan drives up to Marco's house and honks the horn. Marco hears the car pulling up to the driveway. 'Oh I'm so nervous' Marco thought while checking his hair for the 5th time.

"Marco, somebody is here for you." His father shouted from the living room. Marco rushed out of his room to greet Dylan at the door.

"Dad I love you but I really got to get going." Marco said.

"Honey why can't we meet your friend?"

"He's really shy. Now I don't want to keep him waiting." Marco said and before his parents could say anything more he was out the door. Marco slowly walked over to the car. Was this a date or just a friend kind of thing? Who knew? He got into the car.

"Hey Dylan! Thanks for giving me a ride. It would have been so embarrassing if my parents dropped me off."

"Ah ha I've been there and it was pretty awkward. Yeah that's the word." Dylan replied while driving.

"So is Paige all excited about the party?"

"Sure is and by the time we get there she'll be going insane. Parties are her thing, you know?"

"Oh my parents are never out of town so I never have the chance to have a party."

"Well then you're always invited to our party." Dylan said and Marco looked at him for a few seconds and then looked away.

"Thanks!"

"No problem. Look we've arrived."

"Cool." Marco said not really having anything to say. It sounded lame but hey Dylan bought it.
