“Karen, this is the best summer party ever,” I yelled over the blaring music, “But where are your cousins and your boyfriend? I thought they were arriving this week for the summer with there 2 friends.”

“Thanks Katie! And yeah they will be here later. They didn’t want to come over when all these people were here,” she replied

“Why?! Don’t they like to party?!”

“No, but you’ll see when they get here,” Karen answered back laughing.

*Later That Night*

Karen and I were watching the Blair Witch Project on video. That movie always scared the crap out of us but we still liked watching it. It was pretty

interesting though us both, being 19 and, still deeply afraid of stuff like witches and the dark. It was around 2 in the morning and the party died down at about half an hour ago. We were at the part in the movie where the girl was screaming and running. We were curled up on the couch of Karen’s house in which I was also staying for the summer. I was hugging my stuffed bear whom I called “Bear” and Karen was hugging her stuffed bunny whom she simply called “Bunny” when-

“Boo!”

“Ahhhhhh,” Karen screamed, “Holy shit,” I screamed, as we both fell off the couch.

When we finally gained composure and stood up there standing before me were the 5 hottest guys in the world. Karen got up and ran to hug them. I didn’t believe who was standing before me and when Karen kissed her tattoo covered boyfriend I fainted.

*The Next Thing I knew...*

Water was thrown all over my face.

“Monsters,” I shouted.

I heard laughter and I opened my eyes to see Karen and the same guys looking down at me.

“Katie, are you okay,” Karen asked me.

“No I’m not because the Backstreet Boys are standing before me! Am I dreaming! Wake me up,” clearly everyone could tell that I was losing it. Karen put an end to my frustration by whacking me with a pillow.

“Ow, Bitch! Why did you hit me!”

“Katie, Calm down.”

“Okay, I’m sorry guys didn’t mean to act like this. Some first impression huh? But Karen where are your cousins and your boyfriend? I’m confused.”

“Katie, there right here. Brian and Kevin are my cousins.”

“Hi, Nice to meet you,” they both said in unison.

“And this hottie,” Karen continued while pulling her boyfriend forward, “is AJ.”

“Hey.”

“Let me guess,” I said continuing for my friend, “this is Nick and Howie, right?”

“Yeah,” Karen answered.

“Listen everyone, I’m sorry for acting this way. I’ve had a rough day. There was a party and then a scary movie. The shock was just to great,” I continued.

That made everyone laugh. They were silenced by Howie yawning and telling everyone he was going to bed. They all agreed and said there “good-nights.” But because of a shortage of bedrooms people had to bunk together. Karen and AJ got to share a room, Howie and Kevin took a room, and Brian and Nick had to take MY room, which left me stranded on the couch.
