Preparation

Sammy's POV

So here's what happened:

"Sammy!" Lana called from the living room.

"Yes mother?" I called back. Did she always have to interrupt me while I'm doing stuff? The answer is yes.

"We are having dinner with with the Acostas'." Lana gushed when she walked into my room.

"So what? We eat with them all the time."

"Warren invited both families to a Chinese-styled restaurant." She sat down at my desk chair and looked thoughtfully at my closet.

Is Candi coming?" I asked walking to my closet.

"No. Like I want that ugly redheaded monstrosity to be at my dinner." She followed me to my closet and went to the section where I had my dresses.

"And Heather gets to come because?" I said pulling out jeans from the Jeans section in my closet.

"Because Warren is her father and you guys need to bond." Lana said, pulling out a red mini dress.

Is Casey coming?" I tried to act nonchalant and bored and uninterested when I said that. Lana wouldn't approve of me liking someone a year older than me.

"Yes. And this time can you be more polite?" My mom was referring to the first and only time that I met him. I first met Casey when we where at Lana's stupid birthday party.

One of the first things I said was, "I don't like you." Then he followed me around all night trying to get me to change my mind. It wasn't because he liked me. was because having someone hate him for no reason gave him a bad feeling. Anyway to get him to stop I pushed him into Lana's birthday cake. I haven't seen him since. Besides in school.

In school, to show him I was sorry, I gave him small apologetic smiles and left things in his locker. Eventually he caught on because one day he came to my locker and said I was forgiven. A long time ago.

"Yeah sure. Whatever." I said looking for a nice shirt to wear.

"Be ready in thirty!" Lana called as she went into her private bathroom.

"Okay!" I yelled back to her.

Okay so, I might as well explain this now. Me and my mom live on East Jasmine. We're not exactly rich but turns out some long lost relatives own the houses. They died and gave the whole Keyes' family the deed to to all the houses. Me and my mom took advantage of that opportunity. We get rent every month, we get to live in a huge house, and Marissa lives right across the street from me.

And since she's my best friend and I know that she's been through a lot, so I convinced my mom to not charge them with rent every month.

Anyway, one last thing you need to know. I live with the Acosta clan. But Casey is only here on the weekends, when I'm at Marissa's house. But I have to live with the redheaded drag queen and.. Warren.

I went to the bathroom and took a twenty minute shower. I only take long showers when I'm stressed, and I only take baths when I want to relax and read a book.

I washed my hair, because if I didn't Lana would just make me go back in and wash it.

When I came out, the Witch herself was at my mirror. My mirror. In my bathroom.

"Heather, get out of here." I snapped and walked past her.

"Mine is all fogged up!" She scowled at me.

"Not my problem," I was about to use my towel to dry my hair, when I glanced at Heather. "Can you at least give me five minutes to get dressed?"

"Whatever." She said when she brushed past me. Sometimes I just wanted to kill her!

I got dressed quickly in case Heather walked in and said, "Times up loser." And as I was drying my hair, Heather came in. But this time, she had a makeup bag.

"I won't be long." That's all she said before she went into my bathroom and closed the door.

Just then Casey came in.
