A Black and White Affair-Part I

On the beachside of Laguna Beach, a meeting was taking place in Paige's house. In the patio of her house were Paige, Hazel and Ashley. And they were going to plan the ultimate senior party.

"So are we gonna start planning this or not?" Ashley asked. Ashley wore clear sunglasses that had a shade of blue in them. She sat next to Paige who was sitting next to Hazel around the circular patio table.

"Okay, so what have we done so far?" Paige asked. Paige had her sunglasses over her eyes too like the others. Paige's hair was straightened out and down against her shoulders. She was wearing a light blue tank top. The gang were sharing chips and drinking lemonade.

"We've done drunken parties," Hazel said and she stopped. "And that's all I remember." Hazel's hair was down and straight as usual. She put her sunglasses on her head.

"What about a costume party?" Ashley suggested.

"Didn't we do that already like a trophy wife kinda thing?" Hazel said.

"But not like that." Ashley said. She bit into another nacho chip.

"Um how about a cocktail party? Like we can dress up and stuff." Hazel suggested.

"That would be so rad." Ashley said. "But here's the thing, it'll be a black and white cocktail party."

"Oh that's cool." Paige said. "So what should we call it?"

"A Black and White Affair?" Hazel suggested.

"That could work." Ashley said. "But we have to make sure you are not let into the door unless you are like fully decked."

"So who should we invite?" Hazel asked. The sun was beaming in her eyes.

"We'll make it 20 and leave 10 for the forget people. Cause you know how it is when you forget someone and you're like, oh I meant to but I just forgot." Ashley said. Her and Hazel laughed together.

"Well we'll invite us obviously." Paige said.

"And Ellie and Alex." Hazel was writing down the names she and Paige were saying.

"Marco, Craig, Jimmy." Ashley said. "Oh and Jay cause well we invited Alex."

"Spinner. Emma and Manny?" Hazel said. Both her and Ashley looked at Paige's reaction as she coughed at Manny's name. Both girls started to snicker.

"Oh, drama." Ashley said.

At the Santos house, Manuella or Manny as her friends called her was in her pool, floating on a plastic pool chair that was pink and floating. She had black sunglasses on and her hair was pulled back away from her face. She was wearing a red bikini top and black bikini bottoms. Suddenly, her cell phone rang. Manny pulled herself to the side of the pool and climbed out. She checked the caller ID on her cell and it was Emma.

"Hey Em." Manny said.

"Hey. What's going on?" Emma said from the other end.

"Nothing. Just chilling in the pool." Manny replied. "Listen, do you wanna go hang out later?" Manny asked her best friend.

"Yeah I do." Emma replied.

"Okay. I'm gonna swing by the surf shop for a while to see Spinner and then I'll come and get you." Manny said. Her and Emma agreed on meeting around 8.

"So how are you and Spinner?" Emma asked.

"We're good." Manny said.

"Yay." Emma said. And the two continued the conversation until Emma had to get back to work.

A few houses from Paige's house was Alex's house. Alex, who lived with her mother, let Ellie in the door. Ellie kept her red hair for a change and was wearing a black tank top and blue jeans. "Hey, Lex." Ellie said.

"Hey." Alex said. She let Ellie inside her house. Ellie took off her sunglasses and followed Alex to her room, which was upstairs.

"So where's your mom?" Ellie asked.

"At the store." Alex said. Alex wore baggy black pants and a white wife-beater. She sat in her desk chair as Ellie sat on the bed. The two friends had a conversation before Ellie's cell went off. The ringtone was Paige's. She flipped it open and accepted the call.

"What's up Paige?" Ellie asked.

Alex watched Ellie talk on the phone before she checked her email on the computer.

"Yeah, she's here so I'll tell her. Bye." Ellie hung up.

"What's going on with Michalchuk?" Alex said.

"There's a party this weekend and we're invited. It's at the Resort downtown so we have to wear either black or white or both just to get in." Ellie explained. She watched Alex lay on the bed next to her.

"That shouldn't be hard." Alex said. Both girls laughed a little at that since both girls wore more black than anyone else did.

Later on that night, around 7:30, Manny arrived at the Surf Shop where Spinner and Craig worked together. Spinner was busy stocking that he didn't notice the door opening. Manny had her hair up in a ponytail and she wore tight blue jeans and a purple top. She was holding her black Coach bag in her hand. "Hey Spin."

Gavin or Spinner as everyone called him turned around and hugged his recent girlfriend. Spinner wore nothing but baggy blue jeans and a baggy blue shirt. His hair was getting longer. Spinner kissed her cheek and walked around to the main front behind the counter. Manny stood on the other side. "So what's going on tonight?" Spinner asked her.

"Gonna hang with Emma and then go home probably. You?" Manny asked.

"Make an appearance at Craig's barbecue party and I'll probably call you later." Spinner said. Just then, the phone rang. He answered on the second call. "Thanks for calling Laguna Surf Shop. This is Spinner." He said.

Manny noticed that the clock was reading 7:46 and she whispered to Spinner that she had to get going. They kissed briefly and Manny left the shop to pick up Emma.

At Craig's party, which the backyard was the beach, Jimmy and Hazel were hanging out on the couch. Craig was busy mingling with the guests to notice that Paige came in. "Hey, Michalchuk." Craig said once he saw her. Both Craig and Paige hugged each other.

"Couldn't miss this party now couldn't I?" Paige said. She picked up a drink that Craig handed her. Paige noticed a lot of people from school. "Where's Ash?"

"I don't know. I left a message on her cell." Craig replied back.

"Hey, Spin." Paige heard Hazel said. Even now, Paige and Spinner were a little awkward around each other. "Coming to the party this weekend?" Jimmy asked his friend.

"What party?" Spinner asked. He scanned around the room and saw his ex, Paige, talking with Craig.

"The one that you have to wear black and white to get in. It's at the Resort downtown Saturday." Hazel explained.

"I am so there." Spinner said.

"Spin, my man." Craig said. He and Spinner gave a brief "manly hug".

The party continued on for a few hours before Paige was getting tired. After having countless conversations with Hazel and the others, she announced she was gonna get going. After giving good-byes and hugs, Paige left Craig's to car before being stopped by a hand. Paige turned around. It was Spinner.

"Hey." He said.

"Hey. You leaving too?" Paige asked her ex.

"Yeah. Gotta work tomorrow so," Spinner said. "You going home?"

"Yeah. Got a test tomorrow in Chemistry." Paige said. She unlocked the door. "Guess I'll see ya around?"

"Yeah, sure. Or how about we can just hang out like the old times." Spinner suggested. He had a small smile on his face.

"I don't know about that." Paige said.

"Come on. If we're gonna be friends, we gotta start now, right?" Spinner said.

"I guess." Paige said. "So just come to my house then."

"All right. I'll meet you there." Spinner said. He gave a smile and went to his car, which was a silver Dodge Eclipse.

Paige started the engine and pushed play in the CD player. It was Kelly Clarkson. She put the car in drive and left Craig's driveway with Spinner following behind.
