Birthdays and Break ups

((((Hi everyone! This chapter was really hard to think about. At first it was just going to be Jennifer and Alex breaking up. Then while I was cleaning my house, I decided that I should put in Jake and Nicole's birthday. So that means that we are in Spring, April to be more specific, and Ashley already turned 15. So chapter 1 has a typo. So the Bolton twins are turning 14. Now on with the chapter!))))

Genene and Nikki finally made up during school on Friday. It was now Saturday, and the Bolton household was cleaning their rather large apartment to ready it for the birthday party. Nicole and Troy made a little platform with some wood and covered it with two layers of carpet so that it was kind of squishy. They set up the speakers and the microphones. Gabriella and Jake were cleaning Jake's very messy room. Troy and Nikki finished setting up the microphones and Nikki started to clean the living room. She started by pushing the furniture against the walls and pushing the coffee table up against one wall in the corner for the presents. She then swept the hardwood floor and made all of the dirt, dust, and other stuff go onto the carpet in her parent's room. She mopped the living room and made a little sign that said "Wet Floor" so that no one would slip. She then did the same in the kitchen. Her dad vaccuumed and cleaned his and Gabriella's room and Gabriella and Jake finally finished Jake's room. Once Troy was done with the vaccuum she made her bed, cleaned her desk, put her school stuff in her closet, and vaccuumed her room. Nicole helped Gabriella make the food. Troy left to go pick up the cake and the drinks. Jake carefully made sure the hardwood floors were dry and put the "Wet Floor" signs and all the cleaning things in the supply closet. Troy came home with the drinks and the cake and Nicole set up the table with the plates, cups, napkins, utensils, and food.

The guests started to arrive at 6:00. The first people to arrive were Sean, Lily, Sharpay, Zeke, Jason, Kelsi, Jessica, Ashley, Chad, and Taylor. About 10 minutes later Lavendar, Jennifer, Genene, Samantha, Alex, Jason, and Ron arrived. Everyone else that they invited arrived finally and they started to parTAY. About 10 songs later, Nikki turned off the radio and spoke into one of the mics.

"Hey everyone thanks for coming! How about we do some karaoke?" Nikki asked. The crowd shouted "YEAH!" back to her. "Okay. So how about the lovely Sean and Lily come up here and grace us with a song?" Sean and Lily blushed and Sharpay pushed them onto stage. Ryan and Sharpay smiled to each other.

"What song do you guys want?" Nicole asked.

"How about Bop To The Top?" Lily said. (A/N:-wink wink-) The music started to play and they sang. Lily actually sounded like her mother while Sean sounded like his uncle! Sharpay and Ryan smiled. When they finished, Nikki came back up on stage.

"Who next?" she asked. They shouted back "YOU!" She blushed and put on "On The Ride" by Aly & AJ. Jake, Troy, and Gabriella knew that she was singing to them and as she finished the song she was crying.

"Jennifer, can I talk to you?" Alex asked her. Jenny nodded and followed him into Nikki's room.

Alex sighed and continued. "Jenny..."

"Are you breaking up with me?" Jen asked.

"How'd you know?" Alex asked her, surprised.

"The only time a guy sighs and says your name is if he wants to break up with you or get back together with you." Jenny explained. "It's ok. I understand fully." Jenny put on a smile and looked happy. But she wouldn't look Alex in the eye. Inside she was falling apart. Her heart had just been broken, shattered, crushed, and stomped on. She ran out of the room and Alex left. He ran into Nikki.

"Hey Nikki. Happy birthday!" Alex said cooly.

"Thanks." Nikki said smiling.

"So I was wondering, do you wanna be my girlfriend?" Alex asked.

"I thought you were going out with Jen."

"I broke up with her. So what do you say?"

"I'm sorry Alex. I don't like you like that. And also, it's too soon for you to jump into another relationship." Alex walked away from Nikki.

They partied till 9:00 and they went home. They already opened the presents. Jake recieved lots of CD's, a basketball jersey and a new basketball from Troy, a new video game from Gabriella, and a guitar from Nikki. Nikki had been saving up her allowance to get it for him. It was acoustic. He always wanted lessons. She already got lessons and alreayd had an acoustic and an electric guitar. She taught him some basics. Nikki got clothes, a bunch of CD's, a new video game, and new shoes.

((((Sorry so short (SSS). It took a while to put into thought and also took a whilte to type since I had to take breaks to do other stuff. Please review!))))
