"You must do something quick before she finds out and sends it out." the Janitor said then walked away.
"Do what? Hello? Are you there?" He just watched him walk away. "Guess not." Vaughn said. He continued to walk when he heard the noise of a door opening again. It was Samantha again, and this time Vaughn didn't hear Professor Z's voice. All he heard was silence, it was quiet, but too quiet.
"I've got to check this out." said Vaughn. Vaughn crept up to Professor Z's office. "Don't be too noisy Vaughn, slowly, slowly." whispered Vaughn. Then suddenly he just stopped. He peaked through the little hole on the door.
"Hello? Uncle Victor? It's me Sam. I'm here in Professor Z's office." Sam said.
"What? Dad? Sam?" whispered Vaughn. But then Vaughn heard footsteps. He turned around and saw Principal Durst coming.
"Good morning Vaughn. What are you doing here outside Professor Z's office?" asked Principal Durst.
"Um.. I.. I was just looking for him. I was going to ask him if he wanted to come over to my birthday party this evening." explained Vaughn.
"Alright then. Go on now." said Principal Durst then walked away.
"That was close." Vaughn said. He tried to listen more on Sam and his dad's conversation but was too late.
"Ok Uncle Victor. Bye." said Sam, then hung up.
"Uncle Victor? So Sam's my cousin?" said Vaughn with confusion. Samantha was now rummaging through Professor Z's things, like she was searching for something. Then Vaughn heard more footsteps, this time coming towards the door of Professor Z's office. Vaughn quickly stood up and walked through the corridors and out the door going to his dad's house.
"That was really close"
Vaughn opened the door to his dad's house and saw that everything was already in place.
"Huh? What's this? What's going on?" said Vaughn, confused.
"SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY VAUGHN!" everyone jumped out of nowhere and screamed happy birthday.
"Wow! Thanks you guys!" said Vaughn with a big smile on his face. "But? Who..?"
"It was all your dad's idea." Josie said.
"Yeah. He called us up earlier to set everything up." Lucas said.
"And we also ordered the food." added Corrine.
"Pretty sweet, huh?" Marshall said.
"Awh! THANKS!" Vaughn said then hugged then all.
Vaughn's party was a blast! Everyone was having a really good time. There was dancing, eating and loads of fun! Vaughn then saw Samantha coming in the room, having to forget about everything he heard in Professor Z's office, he went to her and said hello. They had their small talk and the he asked if she wanted to dance with him.
"Ok. I'll dance with you." replied Samantha. Vaughn took Samantha by the hand and went onto the dance floor. Josie saw everything and she felt a bit jealous and lonely.
"Hey Josie! Are you okay?" asked Lucas.
"Yeah. I'm fine." said Josie, and smiled at him.
"Um.. Would.. you like to dance with.. me?" asked Lucas, blushing.
"Sure. I got nothing to do right now so I guess its okay."
Lucas blushed for a moment then took Josie's hand and brought her onto the dance floor. Corrine and Marshall on the other hand were just sitting beside each other. Marshall was whistling a tune and Corrine was just reading a book. Marshall then looked and Corrine but as soon as Corrine looked back at him he quickly turned away. Then nice soothing music came on. Marshall had a really crazy idea but he didn't care he just wanted to dance! He slowly stood up, took Corrine by the hand and asked her for the next dance, he blushed and giggled a bit as well.
"Sure Marshall." Corrine said. She stood up and the both of them slowly danced. Now Vaughn and Samantha, Josie and Lucas, and Corrine and Marshall were just dancing the night away. Soon some people were already leaving, for it was almost 9 o'clock. Vaughn and Samantha stopped dancing, so did Josie and Lucas, and Corrine and Marshall. They all just looked around, seeing that everyone left, and knew that they all had to leave too.
"Bye Vaughn! Thanks for the party! It was great!" said Samantha then kissed Vaughn on the cheek.
"Bye Sam! Thanks for coming!" replied Vaughn then waved goodbye. Vaughn just looked as Samantha was leaving when she was out of sight he just turned around.
"Ooh Vaughn! Kiss me! Kiss Me!" said Marshall and Lucas, making kissy faces and laughing.
"Awh! Come on you guys!" said Vaughn, blushing.
"Ok guys that's enough." said Corrine.
"Alright. Alright. We'll stop." they snickered.
"So need any help cleaning up the place?" asked Josie.
"Yeah. Can you guys help me out?" asked Vaughn.
"Sure, it'll be fun." the four chorused and smiled at him.
"Thanks again guys." said Vaughn then smiled. The five of them just cleaned up the place and had a bit of talking time. Their talking made them forget about the time and eventually, they finished cleaning up the place.
"Thought we'd never finish cleaning up." said Vaughn.
"I'm pooped." said Marshall, whipping off sweat from his head.
"Me too." said Lucas.
"Well.. Now we can have a good nights sleep." said Corrine.
"Yeah. I'm really tired." said Josie.
"Well.. You guys can leave.. I still have to finish up a little more stuff." said Vaughn.
"Ok. Bye Vaughn! Thanks again!" said Lucas, Marshall and Corrine. The three of them left talking about what a great time they had.
"Aren't you going too Josie?" asked Vaughn.
"I think I'll stay around and help you finish up cleaning." replied Josie.
"Thanks."
The two of them just moved the furniture into its right places and cleaned the place up a bit more. Then after cleaning the both of them sat down into a nearby couch and just sat there, looking all tired.
"Vaughn?" asked Josie.
"Yeah?" replied Vaughn.
"I.. I have a confession to make."
"What is it?"
"Vaughn, I.."
"I what?"
"I.. I kind of like you.." she said, blushing.
"Y.. You do?"
"Yeah.. And that letter in your room…"
"That's from you?" Josie just nodded.
"Well.. Honestly Josie.. I kind of like you too."
"Re.. Really Vaughn? But what about.." before Josie could finish. Vaughn slowly took her hand, looked her in the eye then kissed her.
"Vaughn.. I got to go. Got to sleep! Cause I'm tired and all." she said and blushed a bit. She looked at him and he looked back at her, they both blushed then Josie just walked away.
"Josie! Wait!"
"What is it?"
"I can walk you to your dorm if you want. I mean I do sleep at school."
"Oh yeah, you live there too. Sure! No problem." She said then smiled at him.
"Is it ok if we hold hands? I mean.. Incase we get lost like before."
"Yeah…wouldn't want to get lost again." Josie replied. Vaughn took Josie's hand and they both left to go back to school. Vaughn dropped Josie to her dorm.
"Bye Josie. It's been fun." Vaughn said then kissed her on the cheek.
"Bye Vaughn. Be careful." Josie said then slowly closed the door.
