The Rich and the Average

Chapter 3 A Problem and How to Handle it

It was now midnight and I was still parting all night long with Tina and Helena. They had called up some other girlfriends to come party with us, but some of them couldn't come and some of them were on their way. Helena had phoned up Hitomi but she wasn't allowed to come since she was supposed to be in bed and asleep so she couldn't come. Then she phoned up Kasumi but Kasumi said she had been packed with History Homework and was busy working on that. Tina decided to phone Lisa her best friend. She was on her way to the club right now, Tina told us she loves a good party. Helena phoned up Christie, Ayane and one of her friends Holly. Christie didn't want to come she said she had people to murder...we didn't wanna know. Ayane asked if Kasumi was coming, when we said 'no' she said she was on her way. Holly, Helena's friend said she was on her way. That was cool since I had never met her before. But, Helena said she was really cool.

Helena explained her as a Spanish beauty. She's Spanish (obviously) with long straight black hair that went all the way down to her hips. She had dark brown eyes and she loved to party and was in a modeling contest a few weeks ago and won so now she's a part-time model. Lucky, girl!

Helena and Tina were still dancing while I decided to stop for a while and get a drink at the bar. So far I was the only sober one hopefully Ayane won't get drunk that way I can and she can be the sober one. I ordered a small glass of Vodka Cruiser. The order came almost immediately. I thanked the man and just sat there sipping the tasty alcohol drink as I watched my two friends dancing on the dance floor. I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned to see Jann Lee, the very handsome man that had saved my life before and all of a sudden had some sort of...mood swing.

"Hi ya!" I shouted over the hip-hop music. "What's up?"

"Not much. You having a good time?" Jann Lee asked me as he sat down beside me.

"Yeah we're waiting for more friends to come party with us. And I've been dancing and I guess you could say I'm having a good time." I said as I looked at him and took a few more sips of my drink. "Okay, I'm having a blast!"

"Great to hear it." He smiled that amazing cute smile again. The one I couldn't get enough of. "Is something wrong?" Oops I hadn't realised I had been staring at him dreamily. He just looked at me strangely.

"Um, no nothings wrong." I said nervously as I turned away from him slightly. "I just um, yeah." He could tell I was nervous now I could tell. Since he was now laughing at me. "What?"

"Are you nervous?" I turned back to him to see that he was still smiling just a bit differently, almost like a smart smile. Totally irresistible!

"No, not really." I said casually as I put my glass on the bench and turned to face the bartender. I gave him my empty glass and left Jann Lee sitting there and walked towards the dance floor. "Seeya." I said as I walked off. He just stared at me but I didn't really take notice.

Helena was now dancing with some guy she didn't know. Tina was trying to pull her away. Helena always danced real...dodgy with men. If ya know what I mean. Anyway so Tina who was quite sober was pulling Helena away from this guy. Ew he's not even that good looking I'm ashamed of her, very ashamed. I ran over to Tina and started helping her pull a very drunk Helena away from the pervert man who was trying to look up Helena's skirt, talk about a asshole.

Suddenly Tina had stopped helping and turned around I wanted to turn around to see what she was doing but I was too busy pulling my best friend off some guy. Then I realised what Tina was doing when Lisa was helping. Oh, Lisa had arrived now three people were pulling Helena and we finally got her off.

Later that night I was dancing with all my girlfriends. I was with Helena, Tina, Lisa, Holly (who I just meet and she's really cool!) and Ayane. Ayane was actually having fun and being fun for once in her life. I always thought she was a bore but this proves me wrong.

Later that night (actually that morning!) it was now 3am and I was really tired. Everyone was drunk apart from Ayane and me. So I said I'd drop everyone off home. We all walked outside to my yellow convertible. I asked the bartender for a bucket first and said goodbye to Jann Lee. All the girls started bragging about Jann Lee and me...idiots. Anyway we hopped into the car and I phoned up Hitomi as soon as I was sitting in the drivers seat. Poor Ayane was at the back taking care of Helena and Lisa seeing as they were the most drunk ones since they were now vomiting (that's why I got a bucket). I dialed Hitomi's mobile number and waited for someone to pick up finally I heard someone answer the phone.

"Hello." I heard a tired voice on the other line. "Leifang what is it?"

"Look I need you to come here and pick up Helena's car cause I don't want it to stay here, someone will steal it." I spoke through my mobile. "Shut up!" I screamed since Helena and Lisa kept making too much noise.

"Um, you know I can't come." I heard Hitomi say through the phone. "My dad would kill me if he knew I was going out of the house at 3 o'clock in the morning."

"Please Helena's too drunk to drive. Ayane and me are the only sober ones and the others are drunk so they can't drive and I have to get home." I begged Hitomi.

"Fine okay I'll be there in about 10 minutes okay?" She said.

"Thank you. God bless you girl." I said as I pressed the cancel button on my mobile. "Are they annoying?" I asked Ayane as I turned to face her.

"Very," Ayane said in her normal annoyed tone. "But I can handle it. I'll just whack them in the head to wake them up to real life if they get too annoying."

"Great idea." I said sarcastically. Ten minutes later I saw Hitomi walking in the dark with...Ryu? "Hey Hitomi!" I shouted as I jumped out of my car. "Thanks for coming. Hey Ryu."

"Look let's just get this done quickly okay before my dad realises that I'm not in bed." Hitomi said as she hopped into Helena's car and I passed her Helena's keys. "Okay and any other cars you need help with? Cause Ryu's here and Kasumi's on her way."

"Um, yeah. Helena and Tina came together in Helena's car so maybe if you take her car. Ryu can take Lisa's care and Kasumi can take Holly's car. Ayane walked here so I'm just gonna drop her off." I said explaining and sorting everything out.

"Cool." I turned my head around to see Kasumi looking at me. "So where's the keys for Holly's car." I passed the keys over to Kasumi as she hopped into the lime green Mercedes car. Ryu just nodded at me, I passed him Lisa's car keys and he hopped into Lisa's red car that was parked beside mine. Hitomi just popped into Helena's car they all drove off to drop the car's off at my friends houses.

Later I was on my way to Ayane's house which was just down the road. As soon as we arrived Ayane hopped out of the car and ran over to the side of my door. I gave her a friendly hug and said bye. I then backed out of the driveway and dropped the rest of my friends off.

When I arrived home I parked my car and hopped out closed the roof, locked my car and then reached under the welcome mat and pulled out the key and unlocked the door. I walked inside and noticed that no one was home yet even now. I just shook my head. Parents were so hopeless these days. I went into my handbag and pulled out my mobile phone to notice that I had a text message. I read through it. It was from my dad he said he was out in America for a whole week with my mother and would be home soon. Love you Dad. I just shook my head again. Parents also needed to tell you before they go anywhere. I walked upstairs to my bedroom.

I reached my bedroom and walked into my little bathroom that was attached to my room. I wiped off all my make-up and pulled my hair out and let it loose. I took off my cheesecutter cap and then brushed my hair out straight. I went back to my bedroom and got dressed into a pair of yellow Snoopy pyjama pants with a matching yellow top with Snoopy on it. I hopped into my bed and went straight to sleep.
