**Saturday Afternoon**
Mother just put Bella down for her nap, and Aiden was sleeping over at a friends house.
"Girls, please behave. Samantha, I won't be home until late. Lock up, turn on the porch light, and don't go to bed too late. I love you sweetheart!" She told Tori and I as she got into her car.
As soon as we saw her car whip around the corner, we grabbed our phones. Since the party is tonight, we need a babysitter for Bella. The party is going to end quite late, but my mother won't be home until around 4am. Tori was gonna sleepover at my house, so she had nothing to worry about either. The party starts at 10pm and ends at 3am.
**Saturday at 8pm**
"Ughh Tori!! Where is the babysitter? She is supposed to be here!!" I said in a panic.
"She should be here soon! Oh hey wait.. There's a car driving down the street, maybe that's her?" Tori replied.
The car pulled up into my driveway and a girl our age stepped out. She went to our school. I ran to the door and opened it before she even stepped onto the porch.
"Hi! I'm so sorry, but I forgot your name.." I said sorta embarrassed.
"Hello, and it's Claire. I've seen you around school, you look nice! And Tori called me asking to babysit tonight? Where is she..?" She said as she walked through the living room, checking out my house.
"One sec! Tori!" I yelled up the stairway.
"Bella just went to sleep Sam! Shhhh!" She whispered angrily at me as she walked down the stairs. "Hey Claire! Thank you so much for babysitting Bella tonight!"
"Oh it's not problem!" Claire smiled.
"Okay so she just went to bed, and my little brother isn't home, so you can do whatever. Feel free to watch TV, eat our food, whatever you need! We have to go upstairs to get ready, if you wanna come up, well.. C'mon!" I told Claire.
We all went upstairs quietly. Claire seemed very interested in the decor and style of my house, but to me it's just normal. Tori and I began to get ready for the party. Tori was the one that always looked good, and she always did everything perfectly. She always got the guy too. Me on the other hand, well.. I rarely looked my best, and I've only had 2 boyfriends, and I'm 15 years old.
As we finished getting ready, we looked in the mirror. First at ourselves, then at each other. Tori had her hair curled down to her bust, and her makeup was done to perfection. She wore a tight purple dress with sparkles all over, then she put on her matching high heels, and she was ready. My hair was straightened down to my belly button, and I went for amore natural makeup style. I wore a pair of distressed short shorts and a fitted black V-neck shirt. I wasn't as "party-ready" as Tori was, but I also didn't care as much.
As we walked out the door, I put on my flats and said goodbye to Claire. She was watching a movie, so she hardly noticed us leaving.
It was almost 10:30pm which means the party already started. We didn't know exactly where Drew's house was, but we knew which neighborhood, and we figured there couldn't be that many parties in his neighborhood tonight. As we pulled onto his street, we saw tons if teenagers in a house dancing. That's when we knew it was the right place.
