I was wondering if I should keep going with this fanfic. This is getting close to the end, but not quite. So, tell me what you think. This is where it all comes together, but there is still more after this. This is one of the longer chapters.

Chapter 11- The Secret revealed

It was the next night at around 7'o'clock. Bridget was getting ready for the party. She went shopping earlier today and found the cutest light brown above-the-knees dress. It had one strap and a matching purse. Bridget put on her light black jacket, just in case. She left her hair down, loving the feeling of the freshly conditioned softness. It framed around her face, and she was definitely having a good hair night. She grabbed her purse. It was around 7:45. Her dad wasn't home yet, most nights he didn't get home 'til 8:30. She left him a note and headed out the door.

It was 7:00 at Carmen's apartment. She was hurrying to get ready. She put on the outfit she picked out and fixed her hair to be curly and free. She finished putting on her make-up. She kissed everyone good-bye and hurried to the club.

Meanwhile, Lena was getting ready at her house. She had picked out a dress from Effie's closet, to save money. The dress she put on was maroon; it was sleeved and had black high-heels. She put her hair into a bun and hopped into the car with Effie, who was wearing a lavender strapless dress with black high-heels. They were off to the club. Jay was going to meet them there.

At Tibby's house, not much was going on. Tibby put on the black dress she wore last time and threw together some accessories; she just wanted to see Steve.

They all (except Carmen) arrived within 5 minutes of each other. Carmen, Bridget, Lena, and then Tibby. They were so excited to see the others' new dresses. They all gathered around a table and hit the dance floor, all looking for Steve. Carmen and Lena gave up and headed back to the table. Bridget felt a sudden urge to go to the bathroom, and Tibby was determined to find him. She went to the bathroom for a deja-vu. She walked up to the door when suddenly it swung and hit her in the head. "Ow!" She screeched. She looked up and saw Steve.

"Sorry."

"That's okay, it just surprised me."

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Do you want to dance?"

"Sure." They both went to the dance-floor when a new song came on like a pop-up on a computer screen. It was a fast-beat song, but Tibby had no idea what it was called. She decided to start a yelling conversation.

"What's your favorite song!" she yelled.

"The one we danced to last time!" he answered.

"Me too!"

"Cool, we have something in common!"

"Yeah!"

"What's your favorite color?"

"It's Black!" Tibby answered.

"Cool!"

"Yeah, I know!"

"What are you going to school for?"

"I'm going to be a director, like a movie one!"

"Cool! That's awesome. I'm going to be a lawyer!"

"Wow, where are you going to school?"

"Harvard!"

"I'm going to NYU!" Tibby yelled, just as the music stopped.

A voice said "YOU GO GIRL!" Her cheeks flushed and she ran to the bathroom so quick, you probably couldn't see her. Fortunately, none of her friends did. Tibby quickly slipped away, her cheeks bright red. I should've seen it coming. The music was slowing for Pete's sake! She walked to the table. Bridget was there. Carmen and Lena were probably dancing together.

It was about 8:15 when Tibby walked up to the table. Her face was bright red. What happened to her? Oh my gosh! Was she the one who just screamed that she goes to NYU? Who was she talking to? "Hey Tib," said B. "What happened?"

"I was the one who just screamed that I went to NYU," Tibby whined.

"Who were you talking to?"

"Some guy named Steve, he told me he went to Harvard and-"

"Steve?" B interrupted. "You were talking to Steve? Why?"

"Because, well, it's not official, but we're kind of going out," Tibby said unknowingly.

"You can't be going out with Steve, I am!" Bridget exclaimed.

"No you're not!" Tibby yelled over the music.

"Yes I am!"

"I am!"

"No, I am!"

Just then Carmen walked up. "What's going on?"

"Tibby stole my boyfriend!"

"No, Bridget stole my boyfriend!"

"Okay, let's settle this as normal people. Where's your boyfriend?"

"Over there!" They both pointed and shouted in unison. They both pointed to Steve and then Carmen got mad.

"That's my boyfriend!" Carmen shouted.

"No, it's mine!" Tibby yelled.

"You both are wrong! He's mine!" screamed Bridget. Fortunately, no one heard them because the music was so loud. They all yelled and screamed at each other, but so far, there was no physical contact. Over all the ruckus, Lena came over.

"What's going on here?"

"She stole my boyfriend!" they all pointed at another.

"How could you? Win, Eric, and Brian all love you. They couldn't be persuaded by one of your best friends." After remembering their boyfriends on trips, the girls realized that they couldn't have their boyfriends and Steve.

"But we're not talking about Eric, Win, and Brian, we're talking about Steve!" exclaimed Bridget.

"Steve? You can't possibly be talking about Steve Johnson, host of this party. There is no way, he's my boyfriend!"

"He is not!" the three of them screamed in unison.

"Oh yeah he is. And he loves me the most because I went to Club Sizzle with him." Lena bragged.

"Lena, in case you haven't noticed, we're in Club Sizzle." Carmen said.

"No, I've been here before, with Steve, alone."

"SO?" they said in unison.

"Let's go see just who Steve loves," Tibby announced.

They headed for the floor to find Steve. After about a half-an-hour of searching, they decided to ask a staff member.

"Excuse me, sir," Lena started, "Can you tell me where Steve Johnson might be?"

The waiter said, "He had to go to his school in Boston, He will be back in about a week." The girls groaned.

"Do you have his cell phone number?" Carmen asked.

"I am unauthorized to give that information. We are not allowed to give personal information away."

"LOOK BUDDY," Bridget said aggressively as she grabbed his shirt near the collar, "We have some personal information to deal with him! So give us his cell number or you won't work in this town again!" (That is so B!)

"Alright, alright, already, here take it!" he pushed a slip of paper towards the four of them fearfully and ran away. They all got a chance to look at it briefly before Tibby snatched it away. The party was over already. They all drove home. Lena, who still had the pants, knew it was only fair to give them to Tibby, it was her week. But then B got them when Steve returned. Oh well, maybe Tibby will make it so that B doesn't get them.

She shoved the pants as flat as she could into Tibby's mailbox. She left a note with them. It read:

Here, take the pants. Let's be allies against Carmen and B. We will so win. Maybe we can split Steve. We've got the pants on our side!

Carmen went home that night and everyone, except Christina, was up. "Hey kiddo," Al said, "How was the party?"

After explaining to every one about Steve and the other girls, Carmen felt terrible. But she couldn't give up Steve. He was just so perfect. But she had to wait a week. She would make it. She would be numero uno in the end.

Once again, review to tell me if I should finish!
