Chapter 2: What Heidi wants, Heidi gets
As Lo and Heidi walked out of the doors of their school, girls who were already outside were ripping off their ties and tossing them into the air. They were obviously glad that school was over and the ridiculous uniforms. Lo could tell that Heidi was disappointed that she wasn't having a party.
"Heidi, if it makes you feel any better, I'm having a few friends over. We could call the spa ladies and get manicures, massages and order room service," Lo suggested.
"Oh, Lo-boo, you always know what I'm thinking. You are a mind reader, I swear!" Heidi replied with fake enthusiasm.
"Then it's settled. The penthouse, in about 2 hours. Mom and daddy are away, so we have the whole place to ourselves," Lo said.
"Ok, well gotta run, I'll meet you at the penthouse later," Heidi replied.
"See ya!" Lo waved.
This is going to be better than I thought! Heidi thought.
Heidi was going to throw the biggest bash in the history of parties and she was going to get Lo in trouble in the process. Heidi figured she would send a huge group email and tell everyone to bring their friends. She would tell everyone to come about half an hour into Lo's small gathering so it wouldn't be abrupt. She tapped her dainty fingers on the screen of her iPhone and sent the invite:
To: Broseph, Ella, Madi, and 123 others
PARTY AT THE PENTHOUSE
Surfer's Paradise Hotel
6:30
BRING YOUR FRIENDS!
Heidi started to change for "Lo's party" and put her sparkly sequined dress underneath her t-shirt and yoga pants.
Lo won't know what hit her! Heidi thought
Lo hummed as she set out chocolate dipped strawberries, bowls of candy and chips, and a couple of pizzas. She had Rosie bring in a couple of massaging stations and a bunch of nail polish. Her guests would be here in about 45 minutes. Ty was babysitting Lo while their parents and George were away, and he was constantly watching over them.
Ty greeted Lo as he shuffled in, " Hey sis, what's up?"
"Go away, Ty! This party is girls only!" Lo yelled.
"Alright, alright. But just so we're clear, this is small right?" he asked.
Lo nodded, "Nothing big."
"In that case, i'm spending the night at my friends house. Are you going to be okay?" Ty asked.
"Yes, I'm not George! Now get out before I call the cops on you!" she threw a pillow at him.
"Why would you call the cops? But, okay, okay I'm leaving," Ty ducked.
After about half an hour, someone knocked on the door. Lo ran to open it.
"OMG! Heidi! Girls! Come in!" Lo gestured to Heidi and the small posse behind her and kissed each of them on the cheek twice.
The girls in their posse were similar Lo and Heidi's in training, except they were underclassmen. The twins, Serena and Selena were from the Philippines, Ash was half chinese, and Mallory was a fair skinned brunette with a small frame. The girls gossiped and ate, when suddenly, they heard a knock on the front door.
"I thought Ty left," Lo murmured.
She opened the door to reveal Ella, a wannabe who constantly tried to impress her.
"I didn't invite you!" Lo said.
"But i thought..." Ella started.
Heidi stood up, "It's okay, I invited her."
She turned to Lo and said, "What's one more?"
Lo shrugged and closed the door after her.
AN: Careful, Lo, one more is going to lead to a hundred! How will Heidi pull it off and get Lo to go with it? R&R, it makes me want to write more.
