“Steph! I need you over here… Now” I screamed into my cell phone and continued rushing around Victoria’s house getting ready for her surprise Sweet Sixteen.

“I’m coming, Alice! I had to do my hair!” She answered.

“And you think I’m ready yet? I’ve been here since the moment Tori left with her dad to get her license.” I flipped my phone closed as the door opened indicating Stephanie’s arrival at last.

“Ok, finish with the decorations and food please. I’m running home to change and get ready. Can ya handle it?” I asked already threw the door and on my way home without waiting for Steph’s answer.

I sprinted to my room and changed into my party clothes. I did my hair and make-up. I packed my over night bag for our ‘after’ party and was headed back to Tori’s in 10 minutes flat.

“Your back already?” Steph asked not looking up from cleaning up whatever she’d dropped.

“Of course! Some of us don’t spend hours on our hair!” I shoot back, and walked outside to finish the backyard decorations.
