Annie's POV:
Since I got kicked out of gym earlier today, there's no way mom is letting me leave the house. Even if I lied and said I was going to a friends house. I'll have to sneak out, which I've done before.
Suddenly, mom bursts in my room with the camera. I shut off my phone and slide it under my pillow.
"Hey girly! What're you all dressed up for?" She asks.
"Face-timing Tyler." I giggle. She and the fans have no idea that we broke up. Me and him discussed it and we decided I would slowly just stop talking about our relationship so the fans don't get angry.
"Ooooooh." Mom says, winking.
"Stop!" I say, with yet another fake smile.
"Okay, I'll leave you to it." She says, taking the camera to go film Hayley or the dogs. I sigh in relief and grab my phone again.
To sneak out I usually go downstairs and go out the sliding glass doors, since they're the only ones that don't beep when you open and close them. As for getting alcohol....

Brennan's POV:
Ding.
I grab my phone and notice I have a text. It's from Andrea, some girl on the swim team.
Party tonight. Wanna come?
I respond quickly.
Sure. What time? I'll bring vodka ;)
10:00. Gonna try and get everyone out by 4
Kk, see you later.
I put my phone down and go to talk to mom.
"Hey, I'm gonna go to Brandon's house tonight. I'll probably crash there. Is it okay?" I tell mom.
"Sure sweetie. Hey, do me a favour and go bring Ryan the vlog camera? I need some footage and he's going out on the boat with Dad."
"Sure thing." I reply, rolling my eyes. I hate that damn camera. It made my life so fake.
"Ryan. Camera!" I shout from the deck. He runs below and I toss it to him carefully.
"Thanks!" He shouts as he runs back to help Dad.
Im almost in my room before Katie pulls me aside in the hallway.
"You going to Andreas party?" She asks.
I look around before I reply.
"Yeah. Don't tell mom." I warn her.
"I won't. I'm going to." She whispers. I know Katie sometimes goes to parties, but usually Andrea's parties are pretty hardcore.
"You sure? Her parties get pretty crazy." I say.
"I'm sure. Besides, I'm going with some friends. I'll see you later I guess. She says as she turns to go back to her room.
Andreas parents are divorced, so they basically let her do whatever she wants. Her dad has an extra house in the countryside that she uses for parties all the time, and he doesn't even care.
Once I'm in my room I turn to my closet to change. I grab some jeans and a white t-shirt. Once I'm done I pull on a dark grey sweater and push up the sleeves to my elbows. Lastly I tie up my sneakers and brush my teeth, and I'm already ready. I go sit in Katie's room while she does her makeup and remind her of everything that's gone on at Andrea's parties in the past.
"A guy almost died once. I'm not kidding." I say, wide eyed. I gotta watch out for my little sister, she's only 16 after all.
She comes out in a black skirt with a dark red tank top and some converse that match the shirt.
"Katie, guys are gonna drool. Your skirt is wayyyy too tight." I say, crossing my arms.
"Oh my godddd Brennan your not mom. Chill out, it's not like I'm going alone. I'll be fine." She says, posing in the mirror.
"Don't come running to me when guys are all over you and your friends. Actually, please do so I can punch them out." Katie laughs.
"Are you riding with me or are your friends picking you up?" I ask her.
"Ill go with you, but I'm leaving with Annie because we have gym tomorrow." She says.
"Woah woah woah woah. Annie's going? I thought she's the type of person to never go to these things. Her parents are pretty strict about her leaving the house."
"She's sneaking out. And she goes to parties all the time, actually. I'm kind of worried for her. I'm basically only going to make sure she doesn't drink her problems away."
"Oh wow. Anyways, I'll tell you when we're leaving."
"Okay."

Annie's POV:
Finally, it's about 9:30. Everyone is usually asleep by now. I grab my purse and tip-toe down the stairs. Like usual, the house is pitch black. I turn on my phones flashlight and partly cover it with my thumb. I make my way down all the stairs to the bottom floor and slowly unlock and open the doors on the far end. Once I'm out, I run out to my car. Mission success.
I start the car and roll out of the driveway, but I don't turn on the headlights until I'm out of our street. I've done this way too many times.
I pull into the parking lot of Barry's Liquor and grab my fake ID. I ended up buying a flat of palm bays and two bottles of cheap vodka. Whatever, it's only highschoolers. Once in back in my car I grab my phone and text Katie and Mia, who I convinced to come. They don't drink at all, and the most they've gotten from alcohol is a bit of a buzz. Mia decided to be designated driver. Both of them are getting dropped off by other people. Mia will drive my car and drop me and Katie off, then get an uber home and just say she was at Katie's house, since their parents don't really talk to each-other.
Soon enough, I'm finally at Andrea's. Only a handful of people are here, still setting up. I spot Mia and Katie and meet up with them.
"Guys are going to follow you guys around all night." I smirk at my friends as we have a group hug. In the corner of my eye I see Andrea and spin around to greet her.
"Marley, make sure the T.V gets in the safe room!" Andrea shouts upstairs.
"Safe room?"Mia accidentally says out loud.
"Anything breakable goes in there. Basically everything in this house. You must be Mia." She grins.
"How did you know?" Mia laughs.
"Katie's on my swim team and I went to school with Annie." She giggles back.
"I didn't know you and Katie knew eachother!" I say as we all laugh.
"Alcohol goes straight to the fridge." Andrea winks as she walks off.
The last person I know that I spot is Brennan.
"What's he doing here?" I whisper to Katie.
"He comes to Andrea's parties all the time. He was surprised you come here a lot." She replies.
"Huh."
It's not long before the house is packed and me and Katie have drinks in our hands.
"I can't even tell theirs alcohol in this!" Katie shouts over the music, motioning to he Palm Bay.
"I know right!" I laugh back.
The alcohol hasn't even made a dent on me yet but I already want to dance to the blasting music.
"Come on!" I shout to the girls, running over to the dance floor. Well, the living room. We haven't even been dancing for two seconds before some guy pulls me into him.
"Hey baby." He smirks, looking my body up and down.
"Get off." I order forcefully.
"And let a hottie like you get away? Hell no." He says, bringing his face to mine. He's trying to kiss me.
Oh no oh no oh no.
I knee him in the gut and his tight grip loosens. He gives me the finger before walking away.
"Oh my gosh, are you okay?" Mia says, fixing my hair.
"I'm fine. Just some crazy guy." I laugh, still dancing. I notice Katie has a red solo cup in her hand now.
"Whatcha got there?" I ask.
"I honestly don't know. Buts it strong." She laughs. The three of us dance together, and I'm having the most fun I've had in a while. Before long, Katie's already done her drink.
"Let's get hammered!" She shouts, and I can tell she's buzzed. Mia looks so concerned, but I assure her everything's fine.
"Let's do it."

This is so different than what I usually write about but it's kind of fun to make them all seem so rebellious and cool. I can't ever see the girls doing something like this in the future, so don't get offended.
