Author's Note: I've edited the first chapter a little. Re-read that if you haven't recently.

Chapter 2

Tai drove up to the house at 7:30 PM. This must be it, he thought. There were cars parked along the whole length of the street. The party was definitely underway. He took a deep breath.

"OK, this is it, man," he said to himself. "Gonna get laid tonight and forget about that bitch." He checked his hair in the rearview mirror, got out of the car and walked inside.

"Hey Tai!" Izzy greeted. "I'm glad you came. Wanna-."

"No. Get out of my way, freak." Tai shoved him away and kept walking.

The place was crowded already with people standing around and talking in groups. Most already had drinks in their hands. Tai noticed some people whispering and pointing at him as he walked through the house. Must be talking about the breakup, he thought. Just what I need tonight.

He found some of his friends gathered around the TV. He walked up to them. "Hey guys, what's up?"

They looked up. "Hey Tai," Brad, his best friend, said. "Heard you broke up with Mimi." The others looked at Tai.

"Yeah," he replied grumpily. "I was hearing rumors that she was cheating on me."

The guys looked at each other and smiled. "Really?" Brad asked, amused.

"Yeah," Tai said. "Whatever man, screw her, there's plenty of girls in this world anyway."

"Yeah," Brad said, "But not many as hot as her."

Tai scoffed. "Who cares? She cheated on me."

"Um, actually, to tell you the truth…she didn't," Brad said. One of the guys laughed out loud.

"What are you talking about? I heard she was cheating from so many people…it's gotta be true…" Tai said.

Brad took a deep breath. "Well, Tai, you know…we were just joking around one day…saying stupid stuff…and somehow, word got around that Mimi was cheating on you, but it ain't true, we were just kidding."

Tai glared at him, his face turning red. "So, just what are you trying to tell me?" he asked through gritted teeth.

"Sorry, dude," Brad said. "We didn't know it would get this serious…"

"Is this true?" Tai asked the others. They all nodded.

"Well, since you guys have broken up," Brad continued, "do you mind if I ask her out?"

Tai punched Brad in the face and stalked out of the room, fuming. Shit, he thought. I gotta go find her.

"Come on, Mimi, don't cry," Kari said. Mimi only sobbed louder. Kari and Yolei exchanged a look.

"I don't understand," Mimi sobbed. "Me and Tai were going out for so long, and all of a sudden, he just dumps me out of the blue. I don't even know what I did wrong."

"You and Tai were getting along fine before?" Yolei asked.

"Yeah," Mimi replied. "I don't even know what I did to make him dump me. I hope it wasn't another…another girl." She started crying even louder.

"I'm sure it wasn't. There wasn't any girl in the whole school that's was as good as you, Mimi," Kari said.

"Yeah, Tai's just being an idiot," Yolei added. "If he doesn't want you just because you've graduated, then screw him, right?"

"Maybe this is a good thing," Kari said. Mimi looked up questioningly.

Kari continued, "Well, what I mean is, that Tai wasn't that great of a boyfriend anyways. Sure, he's kinda hot and was the captain of three sports teams, but he always ordered you around and kept on pressuring you to have sex with him. You didn't, did you?" Mimi shook her head no.

"Good. Look, you'll be going to college in a few months, so this doesn't even matter. It's harder to keep long distance relationships anyways. Now, you can move on with your life and forget Tai."

Mimi smiled. "Thanks."

"No problem," Kari said. "Still wanna go to that party? Might help you take your mind off a few things…" Mimi nodded.

"Ok, good. Let's go."

TK parked his car on the side of the street. Damn, there's a lot of people, he thought. He turned to the back seat. Louis and Gilbert were leaning on each other, both fast asleep.

"Hey guys, wake up!"

They both sat up with a start. "Oh, sorry dude. Must have fallen asleep again. Damn, I'm tired," Louis said.

"Yeah, when do we get to go home?" Gilbert asked.

"In a while," TK replied. "Just don't doze off anymore, ok? You guys have to be alert."

TK handed them a camera and a walkie-talkie. "Alright, let's go over the plan one more time. I'm going into the party, and I'm going to serve drinks. When Tai comes for some beer, I'll spike his drink with this." He pulled out a bottle of Ex-Lax.

"What is that?" Louis asked.

"It's medicine. It helps you take a dump when you're constipated. When Tai drinks it, he'll have to go to the bathroom…badly," TK added with a smirk. "When I see Tai go into the bathroom, I'll radio you guys, and then you take the camera and follow my directions around the house to the bathroom. Then, you jump in through the window and start snapping. Get out of there, and scatter the pictures throughout the house. This will be the end of Tai's precious reputation."

"Why do you need us, TK?" Louis asked. "Couldn't you do this thing by yourself?"

"That's my dad's camera, so I can't bring it in with me. It might get stolen or something, and this might take a while, so I need at least one of you to be awake. Got it?"

"Yeah, sure whatever," they said.

"Ok, good. See you later."

"See ya, TK."

TK got out of the car. He looked at his watch. 8:00. Right on time.
