Google me baby. I respond, quoting the song.

Lol. I just might. So are you coming to the party tonight?

I frown and reread her message once more. Party? What party?

People get parties for #2 albums also. I told your brother about it. I wonder when she and Glen had so much time to talk.

Maybe. Was all I could say back.

I log off after that last message. Sleep is definitely catching up with me right about now. I throw my bowl in the sink and make my way to my room, flopping down beside Cassie. This girl sleeps so wild…I don’t know why she just doesn’t use the guest bedroom.

********************

My bed is empty when I wake up. I have a major headache. I walk out of my room to find Glen and Cassie all dressed up, sitting down and watching TV. Glen is the first to notice me.

“Spence.” He says. “You’re finally woke!” I nod as I walk over and plop down beside him on the couch, curling my feet up. “Are you gonna get dressed or what?”

I frown. “Get dressed for what?”

“The party.” Glen says as if I should’ve known all along. I roll my eyes.

“Ashley’s party?” I ask. Glen nods and I shrug. “You didn’t tell me about it.” Glen frowns.

“Well then how do you know?”

“She told me.” I say simply. Cassie and Glen exchange a look. I think it was supposed to be sly, but I totally saw it. “Okay, what’s that?” I ask.

“What’s what?” Cassie asks.

“That look.” I say, motioning between her and Glen.

“Spence, you’re paranoid.” Glen says, chuckling slightly. I think I’ll let the subject drop…they’re kind of making me feel like I’m retarded.

“Whatever.” I say, relaxing in my seat. “I don’t think I’m going.”

Whining immediately fills both of my ears. “But why?” Cassie whines. I shrug.

“I don’t think I’m up for it tonight.” I say, shrugging. “Last night was pretty crazy.” I narrow my eyes at Cassie. She laughs and holds up her hands.

“Hey, I didn’t ask for you to come with me.”

I don’t retort. She didn’t have to ask me to come with her. I’m sure she would’ve done something drastic and stupid if I wasn’t there.
