"Aunt Ava, stop it" Bradin replied.
"Sorry" she said as she stepped away from him.
"What time are you leaving?" she asked.
"Cassie said that she would pick me up at 7" Bradin replied.
"Well don't you clean up nice" Susannah said as she walked into the room.
"I don't see why you're all making such a big deal of this" Bradin said.
"You should learn how to take a complement" Susannah replied.
There was a honk outside.
"That's me," Bradin said as he headed for the door.
"Have fun" Ava called after him.
Bradin was shocked to see that there was a limo waiting for him at the end of the driveway. He slowly walked up to it and once he got closer the door opened and Cassie popped her head out.
"Do you always move this slow?" she asked.
"Sorry" he replied as he slid into the seat beside her.
"Where is this thing anyways?" Bradin asked after they had been driving for a few minutes.
"At the Arbutus Ridge Golf Course" Cassie replied.
"Never heard of it before" Bradin said.
"It's a really beautiful place, especially at night when all the lights are on" Cassie said.
"Do you golf?" Cassie asked.
"I've been a few times, but I'm not exactly a pro" Bradin replied.
"We should go some time" she suggested.
"Sure" he replied.
The limo parked and the driver came around to open the door for them.
"Thank-you" Cassie said to him as she got out.
"Thanks man" Bradin said.
"It's my pleasure" the driver replied as he tilted his hat to them.
Bradin could help but wonder what it was like for this middle-aged man to have to be so polite to a bunch of teenagers. It must suck was the conclusion he came to.
Cassie hooked her arm with Bradin's as they walked in the front doors of the golf course.
The second they walked in the door Cassie's parents pounced them on.
"So you're Bradin" her dad said as he shook Bradin's hand "I'm Cassie's father Mr. Chapman" she added.
"It's nice to meet you sir" Bradin replied.
"And I'm Cassie's mom, you can call me Melinda" her mom said.
"It's nice to meet you too" Bradin replied.
"And this Cassie's younger brother and sister" Melinda said as the two siblings were pushed closer to Bradin.
"Tell him your names" Melinda encouraged.
"I'm Brad" the boy who looked to be about 12 said as he glared at his mother for being to annoying.
"My name is Samantha" the little girl who was 6 whispered quietly. She was obviously shy.
"It's nice to meet you both" Bradin replied.
"Well now that we all know each other Bradin and I need to be going," Cassie said as he took Bradin's hand and pulled him away.
She only stopped once they were out of sight of her family.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know they were going to do that" she apologized.
"Don't worry about it" Bradin replied.
Bradin started to look around and he was surprised to see that Parker, Scott, Natalie and Brooke were all here also with their families, or not so much with their families, but their families were there.
"I didn't know all your friends were going to be here," Bradin said.
"Yea, this is how we became friends. All of our families come to these charity parties" Cassie replied.
"That's cool," he said.
"Yea" she agreed.
They went over to where Parker, Scoot, Natalie and Brooke were standing.
"What do you say we go somewhere else and actually have some fun?" Parker suggested.
"Sounds good to me" Cassie said.
They wandered down the hall until they found an empty room.
Bradin learnt something very interesting.
Just because your family has a lot of money that doesn't mean you are well behaved and don't get really wild.
By the end of the night they were all pissed drunk and the parents didn't come to check on them once.

PLEASE REVIEW!
I'm trying to get back into writing my stories after taking a very long break, but I think it's what I needed because I was getting really bored.
