"Here", VJ says to me as I close the door to his car shut. I look at his hand to see a IPhone 5. I open my mouth wide and look at him.

"I can't take that", I say to him pushing his hand away. I can't just take that phone from him, I can't even afford to pay for it. I'm not even good enough to hold the thing.

 "Just take it Ana, I bought it just for you so that I can talk to you more", he says bringing his hand back to me. Talk to me more, he wants to talk to me more? I grab the phone from his hands and look at it, then I look back at him.

"And how exactly do you expect me to pay the bills for this thing?", I ask him. He starts up the car and pulls away from the diner.

"I'm paying for it". After he says that I sit the phone in his lap and shake my head while looking at him and he's looking at the road.

"Now I definitely can't take it", I say while still shaking my head. He stops the car at the red light and turns towards me. "It doesn't feel right to take this and use it while your paying. It's just wrong", I say looking at him.

"It's fine Ana. If I didn't want to pay for it I wouldn't have bought it for you. So just take it", He says giving the phone back to me. I put it in my purse still not liking this.

I then begin to notice that were not going the direction to my house. "Uhm where are we going", I ask him as I stare out of the passenger side window.

 "A party at Jake's house", he answers my question with a smirk. I've never been to a party before, especially a rich people party. I'm probably going to be the only poor person there. I stay quiet the rest of the ride looking out the window.

 When we arrive at Jake's house there are people dancing around, people passed out on the ground, and some making out up against the house. VJ opens my side of the car door, I didn't even notice him get out of the car, and I get out. We walk up to the house to be greeted by Brinley and Jake.

"Diner girl, whats up", Brinley says to me.  "Tasha's in there waiting for you". When he said Tasha was here I instantly starting feeling a little better.

"Where is she", I ask him eagerly so I can find her. He points through the door to a dancing Tasha. I rush to her.

"Hey, Tasha". She turns around and smiles at me. She pulls me in to a hug.

"Hey", she says as she stops dancing. She pulls me to a couch and we both sit down. "Is this party awesome or what", she says looking around and smiling.

"I'm glad your enjoying this", I say in a sarcastic tone. She rolls her eyes and me and clicks her tongue.

"Come one, just have fun. Let loose for tonight. I mean, this is a once and a lifetime thing for me and you", she says to me.

"I don't know Tasha. We don't really fit in around all these rich people. Look what were wearing and look what their wearing", I say to her. She devilishly smiles at me as she pulls me to a flight of stairs.

"Where are we going?', I ask but I don't get an answer. She pulls me into a room and closes the door behind her.

"When I came home with Jake after school-".

"You came home with Jake after school", I say interrupting her. "What are you thinking Tasha", I ask her and she just rolls her eyes.

"Can I finish please". When I don't say anything she continues speaking. "So when I came home with Jake after school today, I met his sister and she's nice. She said that we can wear anything from her closet". Tasha says as she opens up the closet door. I widen my eyes cause the closet is huge and filled with shoes and clothes.

"No no no. I'm not even a stylish person, I wouldn't know what to match what with what", I say looking through the clothes. "Also, I can't just take her clothes".

"Take advantage of this moment AnaBelle. Once in a lifetime", she says with one finger in my face. "And I'll figure out what you should wear", she says smiling at me.

"I can't wear this", I say looking in a mirror at myself. Tasha went way out with this outfit and my hair. She ven put makeup on me and I look like a total complete stranger to myself. I'm wearing dark spiked shorts that are way to short for my liking, a dark red crop top that is tight on me. My stomach is out which makes me feel exposed to the world, red heels that are about six inches. Light makeup with red lipstick. She curled my hair and put it all to one side.

"Girl, you look hot. What are you talking about", she says to me smiling I guess at her work. I shake my head and look at her.

"Tasha-", I begin to say before being interrupted.

"Nope, Once in a lifetime", she says to me smiling. "Now come one girl", she grabs my arms and pulls me out of the room and down the stairs. I get stares from every one I pass by and I just give them a small smile. 

"I'll be right back, I'm gonna get us some drinks", Tasha says walking away. I stand there as I nod my head to the song playing.

"Somebody better call God, because he is missing an Angel", some cute random cute guy says to me. I laugh at his stupid pick up line.

"Does that ever work on girls", I say still laughing. He laughs to.

"Let me try again", he says to me as I smile at him. "Are you from Tennesee, because your the only Ten I See", he says with hope in his eyes this time. I start laughing even harder this time.

"I think you should just give up on pick up lines", I say to him smiling. He laughs to and nods his head at me.

"Yeah, I think your right about that one, so what your name", he asks smirking at me. Wow his eyes are enticing.

"AnaBelle, and yours", I ask him noticing the logo on his shirt which shows that he goes to Kingsley High School.

"Tyler", he says to me and a smile comes to my face. I see Tasha standing next to me in the corner of my eye. I turn and look at her.

"Here's your drink", she says handing to me as I grab it from her hand. "And who's this sexy alien right here", she asks me as she eye balls Tyler.

"His name is Tyler. Tyler this is Tasha, my best friend", I say smiling at him.

"It's a please to meet you Tasha", he says to her. She looks at me and she turns around leaving me alone with him. She always does this to me. "This is going to be a long night", I say to myself as I chug down my drink. 

VJ POV

I haven't seen Ana since we arrived and I'm starting to get a bit worried. Where the hell did she go. I begin walking around and being interrupted by girls.

"Hey Van", Diana says to me. "I saw that girl who served us at the diner here. What does she think she's doing", she says to me swinging her hair over her shoulder . I just ignore her like I'm doing to everyone else and I walk away as I keep looking for Ana.  When I see Tasha talking to a group of guys I walk over to her and interrupt their conversation.

"Hey, where Ana?", I ask her hoping she knows where Ana is. She shrugs her shoulders at me.

"I don't know. The last time I saw her was probably like thirty minutes ago, she was with some guy named Tyler", she says answering my question while still staring at me. Tyler Tyler, I don't know of a Tyler.

"What's this Tyler guy look like?" She starts thinking for little bit as she looks down at the floor.

"He's hot", she says giving me my answer. I roll my eyes at her and I walk away looking for Ana. I walk upstairs and I open up every room door. When I open the bathroom door I see Ana on the floor in front of the toilet and next to her is a guy who I'm guessing is Tyler. I rush over to Ana.

"Hey, you ok", I saw squatting next to her and putting my hand on her back. She nods her head at me and I look up at the guy.

"She drank a lot", he says to me shrugging his shoulders. I see he's wearing the Kingsley uniform shirt, but why haven't I seen him before. I squint my eyes at him and I raise Ana up so I can take her home.

"C'mon Ana, it's time for me to take you home", I say still holding on to her so she doesn't lose her balance. She doesn't say anything, she just keeps walking. Her eyes are half way open and she can barely walk.

When we get to the car I put her in on the passenger side and strap on her seat belt for her. Then I get in the drivers seat and I start up the car.

"We'll be at your house soon", I say to her. She moans loudly as she puts her hands over her eyes.

"Home, why home", She asks looking at me funny. I don't answer her because I know that she's just drunk. I then begin to feel a hand on the side of my face. I look over at Ana.

"Your face is soft. Are all rich people skin like that", she says laughing as she pulls her hand away from my face. "Rich people, they have it all. Unlike poor people like me, we have nothing", she says still laughing. "You guys get everything you want, you even get your own school". I don't say anything I just listen. Is this how she feels about rich people, about me.

When I get to her house I see her parents arguing through a window, they really should get some curtains. I look over at Ana to see that she's fallen asleep. I then pull way from the driveway and make my way to my house.
