Chapter 2

Crashing the Party*

"How was school today?" my dad asked, sipping his coffee.

"It went well, Dad. I made a new friend, Emily," I replied.

"That's great, sorry we have to move," he said, his expression apologetic.

"I understand, Dad," I said.

"So, any plans for tonight?" he asked.

"I'm attending a party," I said, trying to sound casual.

"Wow, you're growing up fast!" He chuckled. "No lecture, just be careful."

I hugged him. "I will, Dad."

Just then, a knock on the door broke the moment.

"Come in!" I called out.

Emily walked in, beaming. "Good evening, Mr. Lee."

"Hi, Emily. I'll leave you girls to get ready," my dad said, exiting.

"I can't believe we're crashing this party! I've never been to one before," Emily exclaimed.

"Don't worry, I've got your back," I reassured, slipping into a stunning black gown.

"Let's go!" I said, and we headed out.

We arrived at Alex's mansion, and the party was in full swing.

"Wow, Alex's house is incredible!" Emily whispered, eyes wide.

We made our way through the crowded hallway, passing by laughter and music.

As we entered the main room, Alex frowned. "I didn't invite you two."

Josh intervened, "Is everything okay here?"

Alex smirked. "Just trying to get these losers out."

Josh stood firm. "They're with me. Unless you want something to happen to the speaker?"

Alex relented. "Come in."

We thanked Josh and explored the party.

At the dance floor, we found Isaac, Daniel, and Nicole (the music band).

Isaac asked, "Care to join?"

I showed off some dance moves, and Daniel teased, "You call this dancing?"

Isaac blushed, and I laughed.

Next, we visited the food cart, where Zoe (cheerleader) showcased her juggling skills.

Chloe tried but failed, storming off.

Stella confided, "Chloe's bitter since her breakup. Zoe's success isn't helping."

We moved to the jiggle games, where Liam, Alex, Frank, and Joshua (football team) competed.

Liam invited us to join.

Alex sneered, "You think you can win?"

I accepted the challenge, throwing the ball and winning.

As we took a break by the pool, Liam and Anna argued.

Stella asked us to pose for a party photo.

We changed into swimsuits, and Liam complimented my abs.

As we played in the pool, I noticed strange sounds.

Curious, I opened the door to find Alex and Anna kissing.

"Oh my God!" I turned to leave, bumping into Liam.

"What's wrong, Amy?" Liam asked.

"Alex and Anna... they're together," I whispered.

Liam's face darkened. "That can't be."

He stormed inside, ready to confront the truth.
