Beth was excited about going to a party. A party with her friends and Scott. Beth hummed to herself as she got ready, but she felt nervous too.

" This party is going to be a blast, " Beth told herself, " But why do I feel so nervous about it?"

Downstairs her mother called for her, Beth wasn't quite ready yet.

" Beth," her mother said, " Scott's here."

" I'm not ready yet, " Beth answered from upstairs.

Her mother went upstairs to check on her and looked at her.

" Beth, you look fine to me," her mother said, " It's not a fancy party is it?"

Beth sat down and sighed.

" I feel nervous about this," Beth said, " A new school, new friends, a party. I know I'm going to have fun, but I'm scared too."

" Probably because of the crowd," her mother told her, " You were never good around crowds."

Beth then went downstairs with her mother behind her and Scott smiled at her. David was waiting too.

" I'm sorry," Beth said, " I had trouble deciding what to wear."

" You look beautiful to me," Scott said, " Like always."

David looked at her and agreed with what Scott said.

" Thanks," Beth said.

The three soon left Beth's house. Beth felt that her heart was pounding so fast she couldn't breath.

" I feel like I'm going to pass out," Beth thought.

Meanwhile, Donna was with Kelly who was helping her set up for the party.

" This looks great," Kelly said, " It's nice of your mother to help out too."

Donna shook her head, " Hopefully nothing will go wrong," she said.

Then the doorbell rang and Kelly answered it to see Beth, David, and Scott.

" Hey guys," Kelly said, " Donna look who's here."

Donna looked to see David, Scott, and Beth.

" Hey," Donna said, " You're here."

David kissed Donna, " So glad to be here," he said, " Doesn't Beth look nice?"

Donna looked at her, " Yeah she does," she answered, " Beth are you okay?"

" I'm fine," Beth said, " And thank you."

Scott went up to her and put an arm around her, " Are you sure?" he asked, " You look so sad now."

" I feel nervous," Beth answered, " I didn't go to parties back in Chicago. I wasn't in that particular crowd. Plus, I don't do well around big crowds."

Scott looked at the look on her face, it looked like she wanted to cry.

Several moments later, others arrived, Beth was outside to get some air and saw Steve and Andrea.

" Beth," Steve said, " What are you doing out here? The party is in there?"

" I needed some air," Beth said," I feel sick."

Andrea looked at her, " You look nice though," she said.

" Thank you," Beth answered, " So do you."

Andrea and Steve went inside and Beth still sat there feeling tears come to her eyes. A few minutes later she saw Brandon arrive.

" Beth," Brandon said, " Are you feeling okay?"

Beth shook her head," I feel sick and I feel like crying," she answered, " How's Brenda?"

" She's still sick," Brandon answered, " Dylan is with her. He doesn't want to leave her alone."

" Aren't your parents home?" Beth asked, " If they are, then Brenda is not alone."

Brandon started laughing, " You got that right," he said, " Come on in. I'll get you some water or something, that might help."

Beth went in with Brandon and felt more dizzy and then she collapsed.

" Beth," Scott said, " Beth, can you hear me?"

" Scott," Beth whispered, " I want to go home. I don't feel well."

Brandon and Scott helped Beth to her feet.

" Are you okay?" Donna asked, " Actually you don't look good."

" The flu is going around," Kelly added," That's what Brenda has."

" That's why Dylan is right there with her," Brandon said, " He wants to be with Brenda."

Beth felt more dizzy,

" Come on," Brandon said, " I'll take you home."

Scott walked with Beth to Brandon's car and helped her inside. David came out with them and so did Donna.

" I'm sorry," Beth said, " I just don't feel up to this."

"It's okay," Donna said," Get some rest and maybe I'll come by tomorrow."

Beth shook her head.

" Hey Scott," David said, " I'll call you tomorrow."

" Sure," Scott said, " That would be great. Maybe we can go shoot hoops or something."

" Sounds like a plan," David said.

Brandon just drove Beth home. Beth felt a little better and the air helped and being with Scott was even better.
