When last period had finally ended, Beth left Chemistry and went straight home. She decided that she had too much work to do and couldn't afford to hang back with her friends like she usually does. She also needed to think of an excuse to tell her dad as to why she wont be in on Friday night.

The drive back home is quite long for her, Beth lives in a beautiful farm house with her Father and Maggie. She did love it there, but wished that it was a little closer to the city, just so that she could see her friends more often, but this place had always been her home, and it would be hard to leave from it.

It wasn't the best drive home tonight for Beth, the roads were a little icy and this made her nervous. She had only just got her drivers license and her car wasn't exactly the best (and newest) model in the world. It was a good 20 years old. But it was a car nonetheless and it is always a lot quicker to get home that way.

Driving up the long drive towards her home, she noticed that her daddy was tending to the horses and Maggie would still be at work at this time, so she retrieved her keys from her satchel and unlocked the front door. Wanting to be extra nice to her daddy, so that she could go out on Friday night, she made him a cup of red-bush tea – his favorite. Whilst the kettle was boiling, her cell phone vibrated in her long pocket. Looking at the caller ID, she saw that Molly was calling her. She wasn't surprised. Molly always like to know what's happening in people's life's.

"Hey Molly, what's up?" Beth already knew why she was calling, but let Molly explain anyway.

"Beth, is everything okay? We couldn't find you after last period." Molly did genuinely sound worried on the other end of the phone. This made Beth smile down the phone.

"Mol, everything is fine. I just needed to get home quickly tonight. I just have a lot of work to do, but I should have told one of you guys. I'm sorry for not waiting." A sigh of relief was heard down the phone.

"Okay then Beth, but just don't worry me like that! Oh and I had the greatest idea come to my mind today in Calculus. Friday, after school, you come to mine and you can tell your dad that you're staying over mine! That'll be true of course, but he doesn't need to know that you'll also be going out that night. What do you say Beth?"

All of a sudden, Beth felt a little bit sick. She would have to lie to her daddy even more tonight. She still wasn't completely happy about the idea of this Friday night anyway.

"Er Beth... you still there?" Beth realized she stopped talking for a few moments, and hearing Molly's voice made her jump a little.

"You know Mol, I'm really not sure. I've never done anything like this before, and I know for a fact that daddy won't be happy if he found out what we are doing."

"Beth, please? My parents won't be here either, so if anything did happ-" Beth snapped awake when she heard that Molly's parents wont be there that night. This was getting worse by the minute.

"Molly, you didn't say your parents wouldn't be there! Is that really safe? Where will they be?" Beth started to panic a little down the phone. Her heart was racing a little.

"Oh well I thought you would be okay with that, they'll be in New York this weekend to visit my grandparents. Beth, it would be better that they aren't in the house. If anything did happen to us – which won't by the way, they won't be there to know! Come on Beth, please?"

Beth did realise what Molly was going on about. And it was just one night, and she knew she wouldn't do anything like this again. And really, what's the worse that could happen? Beth was a sensible girl. She knew that she wouldn't let things get out of hand.

"Fine Molly, I'll come. But you have to promise that you won't go too crazy or anything!" She still felt completely unsure about all of this, but knew it would make her friends happy. Plus Luke had personally made sure that they all get some ID so that they could get in. Beth heard a squeal at the end of the phone. Molly was incredibly happy that she had managed to persuade Beth to come.

"Beth, I love you girl! Right okay, I'll see you at school tomorrow. Love ya!" And with that, Molly had hung up on Beth. She couldn't help but grin at her phone. With that, she heard her daddy come in from the kitchen door, she turned around to smile at him.

"And why are we looking so happy then Bethy?" Hershel was a very kind and loving father to Beth and Maggie. Beth was a complete daddy's girl and she loved him to bits and so she gave him a huge hug.

"I'm just happy that it's the final week of school until the Christmas Break. Here, I made you a cup of tea." Beth released Hershel from her clutches and walked to the counter to give him his tea.

"Well, you've been working very hard, I'm glad that you'll be getting a break" Beth nodded to her dad's response. Hershel noticed that that Beth was being very fidgety and knew that something was up with her.

"Alright Bethy, is there something you want to tell me? You know I'm all ears for you." Beth looked up to her dad giving her a sympathetic and kind smile. She knew that what she was about to say now was a lie and going against her fathers trust. But she really was excited about this Friday and she did really want to go.

With one deep breath she replied to Hershel "Is it okay if I go to Molly's house on Friday night? We've not stayed over in ages and it's the final day of school. Please?"

Hershel just chuckled at Beth and answered "Beth, of course you can stay over! Deary me, I thought you were going to say something drastic and life changing! You had me worried darling".

Beth had to laugh back. Of course she knew that he would let her stay over. Hershel trusts Beth so much. She knew that. She knew that he was betraying this trust though. But once he said that she could go, she left her seat, gave him another big hug and left to her room.

When she arrived in her room, she crashed on her bed, exhausted, but she knew she had some work to do before she could relax. She knew that this was going to be a very long week.

Tuesday and Wednesday seemed to go very slowly. It was now Thursday, the day that the whole plan would start. When the bell rang for lunch, she walked out of Calculus with Jimmy and met Luke and Molly at the usual place by the green lockers. Any moment now, she would be receiving the fake ID that will take her into the night club on Friday night. She was nervous, but also very excited. They all walked down to the cafeteria, grabbed their lunch and sat in their usual spot by the windows. Once everyone had sat, Luke cleared his throat, as if to give an important and lengthy speech.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I present you with your ID. Mr James McCune, Miss Molly Brice and Miss Elizabeth Greene."

Beth was handed her ID card and now became very excited. Everything was correct, just her date of birth was changed to make her become 21. Everyone around her seemed very pleased and just as excited as she was.

"Thanks Luke, they look just like the real thing!" Jimmy was clearly very excited about it all and now even Beth had to admit, she too was incredibly happy to be going. Tomorrow night was going to be amazing. She could feel it.
