"Holly! Holly!" The noise of someone calling my name caught my attention while I was walking down the halls of my school, on the way to my locker before going home. I turned around to face my friend Melissa, as did a lot of other people. Melissa was stunning at 5 foot 7 with long wavy chestnut brown hair, green eyes, and the body of a model, wearing designer clothes.

"Hey Melissa! What's up? Do you really need to be yelling my name for all the school to hear?" I hated it when she called my name because it would draw attention to us and people would look over, comparing us. We looked like complete opposites. Compared to her, I looked like a child, standing at 5 foot 3 with my dark brown shoulder-length hair, grey eyes, and petite body frame.

"Well sorry missy, but you looked like you were off in la-la-land. You okay?" She looked at me with worried eyes.

"Oh yeah sure, just thinking things over. I have so much homework due on Monday. Mr. Diffusion gave us a report to do on immigration in Canada, and we did a lab in science today and Mrs. Ross is making us write it up and figure out some questions. And we also have the L.A. and math test too! It's gonna take forever to do all my homework and study!" I whined the last bit and bit my lip before rambling off any more.

"Don't worry; I know what will cheer you up! Brad's having a party tonight. We can go together and have a good time." Brad Dubois was the most popular guy in our grade and he was also Melissa's cousin. His parties were legends since they were so fun. Brad's place had a pool, movie theatre, bar, massage room, you name it. I went there a lot with Melissa over the summer, so Brad and I had become good friends.

"That sounds like a fun idea."I cheered. My mood changed as I suddenly remembered that I had plans. "Oh no......but I have to babysit for the Livingston's tonight. I'm sorry; I don't think I can make it."

"What?! But it's the best party ever! This is just the pick-me-up everybody needs from the start of the school blahs. Come on, it's November now! It's +23 out and it's not snowing! We never get this kind of weather in November! It's gonna be the perfect party!"

"Melissa, don't use that on me! I'm already dreading my decision to babysit. But, I'm only $50 from getting an iPad, and their $150 off sale ends on Sunday. A sale like this only comes around every few years or so."

"Dang Holly. That is a good sale." I could see the want in her eyes and she wanted in on getting an iPad. "But you have to come! Everyone else is."

"I can't change my mind, I have to be there by4:15, and I can't just cancel on them like this. Marissa and Peter Livingston are celebrated their tenth wedding anniversary. Isn't that cute?" Marissa and Peter were one of the nicest people I've met, and I'd hate to spoil the day for them. They were also my mom's best friends all through high school and university. I checked my cell phone and the time read 3:45. "I really have to go. I'll text you!"

I ran to my locker to grab my homework and put away my textbooks from this afternoon's class. I grabbed my jacket and hat before closing my locker, and ran to the other side of the school to the parking lot. I spotted my mom's car and climbed in.

As I climbed into the car my mom mock-glared at me then her gaze softened. "Holly, do you know what time it is? You know I have to meet an important client today in twenty minutes."
