116. ("IT'S MY BIRTHDAY")
Holly J. was looking in her mirror, "Okay Holly J. Sinclair...you are now 18 years old, now what you are going to do is go down here to this party and live it up!" Holly J. shouted as she ran out of her room and went into her birthday party. Holly J. was happy that her friends had all come, but two were missing, Jane and Mia. Holly J. knew that she wanted them to be there bad, but hope wasn't enough. Holly J. then focused her eyes on Jane Vaughn, her friend who had just made her way into the party.
"Jane?" Holly J. let out, estatic. "Yep it's me!" Jane said giving the girl a hug, "What's this?" Holly J. asked looking at Anya, Sav, and Riley, "We know how much you wanted at least a couple of your friends here with you!" Sav let out. "Thank you...than all of you...this has officially become the best birthday party I've ever had" Holly J. told them. Jane sighed, "Holly J. I need to talk to you for a minute!" Jane told the girl. Holly J. nodded as the girls made their way upstairs, Jane didn't want to tell Holly J. what was on her mind.
Alli was in her room, when all of a sudden her parents came into the room, "Alliah we've talked it over, me and your father think it's best if you don't go anywhere unsupervised and with friends" Alli's mother let out. "What are serious?" Alli began. "What do you want us to do...you disobey us and you go and shoptlift, you think that we're going to let you off with a warning?" her father stated. "No but...Sav when he did that steroid thing he got off!" Alli stated. "No he had to go to therapy, at least we didn't have to look at him in the face" her father yelled. "Well fine...send me somewhere!" Alli let out.
"Why?" Alli's mother began. Alli looks in the mirror, "I never wanted any of this to happen...you treat me like I'm a baby...news flash mom I'm not!" Alli shouts at her mother. Alli's mother pulled out a piece of paper, "This is Thortondale...it's a boarding school, I want you to go there, just until your act is cleaned up!" her mother stated. "Pack your bags the bus leaves tomorrow" her father told her.
Holly J. and Jane were in the room, when all of a sudden spoke out, "Look okay...the first semester of college is almost over for me and I got this acceptance letter to be a TA at Yale, and I really want to go" Jane spoke up. "What?" Holly J. looked at the girl confused. "I know you've already had to let one friend go...but Holly J. it's how life is" Jane stated. "No okay the reason they say it's your life, is because you can do whatever you want!" Holly J. said as she started crying, "I can't believe this...first Mia, then you" Holly J. shouted.
Jane stood, "We'll always be friends, I leave...tomorrow just in case you want to say goodbye" Jane stated as she walked out of the room, "Don't count on it!" Holly J. shouted behind her.
