[3rd Person Pov]

In Abby's gothic style room, laying on the bed was a blonde haired teenager with a denim skirt and a long sleeved unicorn shirt.

By her side– sitting on the bed while doodling on a piece of paper was a pretty brown haired girl. Meanwhile, the goth girl was crouching on the chair near the desk while hugging her knees and having a worried expression on her face.

"So, what is he doing now?" Haley asked as she took a breather from doodling.

"He's dancing to the music and is still ignoring the slutty bitch." Tara replied casually as she read the text from her sister Enid while still lying down on Abby's bed. Enid is her sister whom she planted at the party to act as a spy for her friends.

"Good." Abby muttered, still feeling anxious that her boyfriend had gone to a party without her. Haley turned to Abby and said, "You know, you didn't have to let him go to the party if it'll bother you this much."

Tara finally raised her head and turned to Abby, "Yeah. If it was me, I would never let my boyfriend go to a party alone. Boys are pretty stupid. They won't think much about something before they do it."

"No. Edward isn't like that." Abby said with a low spirited voice. Tara rolled her eyes and said in exasperation, "We all thought like that on our first relationship. But the truth is, if you don't control your man, he will BE snatched away by someone else."

Abby then confessed, "I...don't want to be that kind of girl that would control all of her boyfriend's actions. Besides, Ed is pretty mature. I don't think that he'll be swept away by the party."

"Oh." Tara read another text from her sister when Abby finished talking.

"What?" Haley turned to Tara and asked with a serious face. Abby turned to Tara too, and her eyes turned glassy.

"He's...joining the game..." Tara said with some difficulty as if trying to let Abby down easy.

Haley was confused and asked, "What game?"

"You know...the one where you enter a closet with a girl...and have your first kiss... or you know just make out..." Tara replied in a hushed tone, but all of her words became thunderous when they entered Abby's mind.

"Wait. Is he just sitting there because he didn't know about it?" Haley asked again after glancing at Abby in anxiety.

"No. They had explained the rules pretty clearly. They are spinning the bottle now."

Abby lowered her head and buried her face behind her knees. Haley slipped from the bed and walked to Abby hurriedly. "Do you want to go there and beat up that bitch who plans all of this?"

"No need...He's just like the other men...I thought he would be different.." Abby said with a shaky voice and a lump on her throat.

"Wait! Don't cry yet!" Tara suddenly shouted, causing Abby to raise her head and Haley to turn toward her at the same time.

"He's not joining them. He said he was only there to provide his friend some moral support. He's getting out of the game now!" Tara reported all of Enid's text clearly as if she was some reporter reading the news.

Abby brightened up and exclaimed, "Oh," before she smiled in embarrassment. Haley and Tara had a teasing smile afterward and Tara mimicked Abby, "I thought he would be different. My romeo-"

"Shut up!" Abby yelled while being embarrassed and threw a pillow at Tara's face.

"Hey! My MAKEUP!" Tara shouted in anger as she saw a clear lipstick mark and her eye shadows on the white pillow case.

"Shut up and read. What are they doing now?" Haley ordered.

"So that's it? That's my only purpose here? I feel used. Is this how all of your ex-boyfriends felt?" Tara teased Haley.

Haley smirked and retorted, "I never used anyone!...and yeah, that's your only purpose."

"You...bitch." Tara cursed.

Haley sat back on the bed, picked up her doodling that looked like a 10 years old's drawing and showed it to her friend, "Abby, how does this look?"

"Oh...that's nice. Did Luke teach you how to draw?" Abby teased.

"Zip it!" Haley gazed menacingly at Abby as she put her drawing down.

"I think it looks nice. But I need some more details. Why don't you use some of the magazine cutouts like we see in the movies to show it?" Abby advised.

"That's....a great idea!" Haley smiled brightly as she heard the idea.

"Uh-oh." Suddenly, Tara exclaimed again.

"What now?" Abby asked in concern.

"It seems that your boyfriend is going to fight someone." Tara replied.

[Edward POV]

At the party. I returned back outside and lay down on one of the pool chairs before Jenna suddenly came out and sat beside me on another chair. She sat on the edge of the chair and leaned forward before she tapped on my arm with one finger.

"Hey! Why did you NOT want to play the game?" Jenna asked anxiously. "Are the girls here not pretty enough for you? Do you want me to change the girls for better looking ones?"

With a scrunched eyebrows, I turned my body sideways toward Jenna in confusion. "What the hell are you talking about?"

"Why don't you want to play?" She asked again, determined to get the answer today.

Walking forward, I stood face to face with Nate. "Come on. Punch me or Apologise to Jenna. If you chose the first one, don't blame me for what I'm about to do."

"Uh..Fuck you!" He said and he cocked his punch. The minute he released his hand, I slapped his left cheek with my right hand. The sound of the slap reverberated around the pool area, and Nate was stunned by my wake up call.

"Choose again." I said casually with an innocent smile on my face.

He paused to think before he punched at me again, so I slapped his right cheek with my left hand.

"Again." I said, still with an innocent smile. Elsa walked toward Jenna and checked her wrist.

"Elsa, did you see what he did? He stood up for me!" Jenna said with obsessive eyes that kept following my figure as I continued to bitch-slap Nate.

The bitchy girls were leaving the party after their fun was ruined. They walked toward Elsa together to wish her before leaving. Some of them watched me toying with Nate, and couldn't help but bite their lower lips as they were turned on, but their hate toward Jenna trumps their horniness at this moment.

"Elsa. Happy Birty-day. Don't hangout with that slut any more. It'll ruin you. If you're looking for handouts, I can give you an allowance if you follow my back obediently like a dog everyday. Hahahaha!"

Jenna's eyes turned murderous as she heard that. She turned toward the girls and bitch-slap the skank who was bad-mouthing her best friend. The blonde cheerleader held her red cheek in disbelief after she got the wits slapped out of her while her eyes shook, and her mouth hung half open.

"Get the fuck out of my house bitch before I call security." Jenna ordered coldly.

"You whore-" The cheerleader girl wanted to fight Jenna, but another girl held her back and said, "She's not worth it. Let's go."

"Yeah. Run away bitch!" Jenna said in anger from afar toward the running girls before she turned toward me with eyes full of hearts once more.

With a swollen face, Nate said while involuntarily kneeling, "I...sowwy..." he finally gave up after being slapped for the 10th time. The other boys had already come out of the pool, but decided not to do anything after they saw their Captain's fate.

"Not to me." I said and nudged my chin toward Jenna. "To her."

"I'm...sorry Jenna." Nate said with teary eyes.

"Get the fuck out of my house before I call the cops on you!" Jenna yelled at him and chased him away from her house. The crowd dispersed quickly, leaving only me, Jacob, Elsa, Jenna, and a random girl with denim overall and rainbow shirt staying there.

Enid suddenly asked innocently as if she hadn't seen the conflict before, "So. When will the cake arrive?"

...

"So, Happy Birthday Elsa. Congrats on your new boyfriend." I said as I toasted to Elsa after the cake arrived. Only 5 people left after the whole fiasco over there. Well, 6 if I included the lone waitress.

After Penny arrived with the cake, she was flabbergasted to see the empty party. She gave me the cake and went to get yelled at by the party planner – only to see that all of the staff there had left. So I invited her to eat the cake together.

"So far, 14 is my favourite age." Elsa said as she looked at Jacob while smiling softly. They continued holding hands after everything had calmed down.

Enid ate some cakes without any concern for others as it was too big a cake for only 6 people. Jenna wanted to resume pestering me, but Elsa dragged her somewhere to bandage her arm, leaving only 4 people in the living room.

"Oh. I need to go to the toilet." Enid said. "Where is it?" She asked me and Jacob.

"Turn left over there. It's at the end of the corridor." Jacob answered unexpectedly. I turned toward him and asked, "You still drunk?"

"...No. Why would I still be scared of girls now that I'm in a relationship with the best one?" Jacob replied with a sly smirk. I punched his bicep and he turned into the wimpy Jacob once more.

"What's that for?" Jacob asked while rubbing his sore bicep.

"For being annoying." I said and walked to the lonesome waitress.

"Don't worry Penny, I will talk to your boss after this." I said to Penny.

From staring at her plate, she turned toward me with puffed out cheeks that was full of cake and try to speak with her mouth full, "Its's okayhs."

"What?"

She swallowed the cake and said clearly this time. "It's okay. I think...I'm going to quit this job and accept my friend's offer to work at the cheesecake factory."

"Ah I see. I think that's better anyway than having to continue to devalue yourself by working here."

"You think so too, right?" Penny agreed with me. "I don't know how Hollywood people do it. I can't debase myself like this even if I think that it'll help me to land a role in a movie or a commercial."

Nodding at her words, I said, "You know, I am an artist myself, and I'm going to be making a few music videos soon, so I'm probably going to need some actress."

"Wait. You're an artist?" Penny asked in disbelief and looked at me up and down. "Are you just saying that to pick me up?"

"Nope. I am actually signed under a new, big entertainment agency and we're in the middle of recording an album. Also, you have some cake on your cheek." I said and I grabbed a napkin from a table nearby before helping her wipe the cake away.

"I am not promising you to get the part. I'm only saying that you can have a place to audition if you're looking for a part in the future. If I do need you as an actress, could I call you?"

"Yes of course!" Penny said in excitement and hugged me closely. Then, she suddenly gave me a peck on the right cheek before going to the left, but I stumbled at just the wrong (E/N: Or right?) moment , causing her to give me a peck on the lips.

At this moment, Jenna, Elsa, and Enid returned to the living room at the same time and saw the dreaded sight. Jenna's smiling face turned frozen in a second, while Enid was excitedly texting someone.

"Oh shit." Penny muttered as she slowly backed her face away from mine.

"That's okay. It was an accident. Do you have any way to get home, or should I give you a ride?" I asked Penny calmly after the incident despite the hostile looks she was getting from Jenna.

"NO!" Jenna shouted in objection.
