Chapter 11
Saturday 3:30 p.m.

"I don't know what to do with myself.", I say, slumping on Liam's couch.
"Me neither. This is usually time I spend with Stacy.", Zach says, slumping next to me.
"Yeah. I always Facetime her or go over to her house around this time. Now I have nothing to do since her and Jess are going to Stacy's.", I say.
"Oh you two are so dramatic! I have news for you. You're going to live. Now. Get. Up!", Liam says, trying to pull us off the couch. Finally, he gives up and sits down.
"So we're crashing the girl's sleepover right?", Zach asks.
"Totally.", I reply, and we both stand up, making Liam groan.

"So. Which p.js?", Jess asks me, looking through my drawers, while I sit on my bed.
"The ones with the lions.", I reply.
"Ok. Which clothes for tomorrow?", Jess asks, putting the pajamas in my bag and walking over to my closet.
"The light purple long-sleeve and the turquoise shorts.", I reply. Jess puts the items in my and asks, "Shoes?"
"The gold sparkly flats.", I reply once more.
"All right. The last thing you need is your pillow, then you are good to go.", Jess says, packing the last of my stuff.
"Have you finished packing yet?", I ask.
"I packed my bags on Tuesday. So yes.", she replies.
"Oh wow. Ok.", I say. At that moment, my phone dings with a text.
Parker<3: Hello lovely.
Shelby: Hi. What are you up to?
Parker<3: Hangin' with Liam and Zach. How about you?
Shelby: Jess is helping me pack for the sleepover.
Parker<3: Cool. What time will you be going over there?
Shelby: Around 5:00
Parker<3: Will you be leaving the house at any point?
Shelby: I don't think so
Parker<3: Who else will be there?
Shelby: A few other girls...
Parker<3: Ok see you tomorrow!
Shelby: See you tomorrow!
"What was that all about?", Jess asks.
"Parker wanted to know when we were going to Stacy's. And if we'd be leaving the house at any point. And who else would be there.", I answer.
"Oh really? Why did he want this particular information?", Jess asks suspiciously.
"I have no idea. I didn't ask.", I say.
"In my experience, it would seem that the boys are going to try to crash our sleepover."
*
"Now let's review the plan.", I say.
"We have no plan.", Liam retorts.
"Now let's come up with a plan.", I rephrase.
"We know that Stacy's house is one story. The girls will most likely be sleeping in the living room, since Stacy's bedroom isn't very big. They always leave the backdoor unlocked, so we can get I through there. Once we're in , we'll scare them with the masks we found in the garage.", Zach explains.
"Wow. Nice plan. But what are we gonna do after that?", I ask.
"I have no idea. We'll just see when we get there.", Zach replies.
"This is crazy. You guys are crazy.", Liam says, shaking his head.
"What's wrong with a little prank? We do it to each other all the time.", Zach says.
"Yeah. We do it to each other all the time in Minecraft. Not to a bunch of girls who just want to enjoy their Saturday night. Besides, don't you think scaring Shelby might not be good for her lungs?", Liam asks, starting to convince me.
"Uuuuuugh you make a good point!", I say, torn.
"No! Don't let him take you to the good side! We are going to do this and it's going to be epic!"

I feel a sharp pain in my chest and wince. Jess, who's sitting in the driver's seat taking us to Stacy's, asks if I'm ok. I reply yes as the pain fades away. Then, a few seconds later, the pain returns, longer this time. I wince again, clutch my chest, close my eyes, and bring my head down.
"Shelby are you sure you're up to this? You seem to be in a lot of pain.", Jess asks, looking extremely concerned.
"Yeah. Yeah, this happens often. It's not fun, but I'm used to it.", I reply, sitting straight now that the pain has gone away. Jess starts to reply, but my phone rings, cutting her off. I see the caller ID, laugh, and hit the answer button.
"Hey Ross!", I exclaim.
"Hello cousin. How are you?", Ross asks.
"Still have cancer. Whatcha up to?", I ask.
"I'm with Max. You're on speaker so.....say hi.", Ross says.
"Hello Agent Zed.", I say with a horrible Batman-like voice.
"Hello Agent Shed.", Max replies in an equally awful Batman-like voice.
I cough, "Ugh it hurts my throat every time!"
"Then why do you do it?", Ross asks.
"I wish that I could be like the cool kids!", I start singing.
"And that's my cue to hang up. Bye Shelby.", Ross says.
"Bye Agent Shed!", Max says.
"Bye Agent Zed! Bye Agent Douglas!", I say and hang up.
"Who was that?", Jess asks after a beat of silence.
"My cousin Ross and my best friend Max. they used to live here, but moved away a while ago. I miss them, but you know, I have you and Parker! And Liam and Zach, but mostly you and Parker!", I say and laugh. Jess laughs along with me as she pulls into Stacy's driveway.
(See you soon! Hopefully! Bye)
