The doorbell rang,

"Wow, someone's early," Dylan said mainly to himselp as he made his way to answer it. AJ trailed behind him. The door opened to reveal Cassie Wilson standing there, AJ gasped then caught himself.

"Hi, Dylan!" she said eagerly. "Where is everyone?"

"You're early," Dylan responded. "Um, well...uh...okay, no offense...but what's your name again?"

"I'm Cassie Wilson," she smiled, "I just moved here from Colorado. You see, I made friends with people just so I would have friends, they're not really my kind of people. They're too good and holy. I need some beer at a party, none of this 3P crap."

"What kind of crap?" Dylan inquired.

"Pizza, parents, pop party. No, not even party, more like 'gathering' because party hints at some kind of fun going on and gathering is just people in one place."

"Oh, okay, well who were you friends with?"

"There was this one kid I met in the hall named Nick and he introduced me to his friends. I guess only one is still in high school, some bad ass wannabe AJ or Alex or something."

Just then AJ came out of the shadows. He gave her a somewhat evil grin.

"I'm sure Nick will be happy to hear what great comments you had to say about him," AJ sneered at her.

"Oh my God!" I had no idea you were here. I didn't mean it!"

"I don't know what he'll say to this because I'm not him, but I sure as hell know what I have to say, fuck you, Cassandra. I would say get the hell out of this house right now, but I would much rather have you stay. I need to know more to tell my buddy Nicky, so won't you stay? Please make yourself as comfortable as possible," AJ taunted in a mocking voice.

This should be fun, lots of fun. AJ thought to himself. No alcohol for me tonight, I need to be sure to remember each and every little detail of the night.
