"Very subtle," Nisha said sarcastically as we climbed out of Cameron's truck and looked at Alden's house which was decorated extravagantly  

"Your camera? really?" Brin scoffed looking at her brother 

"This is literally the only time I'm going to be doing something like this," he told her "I might as well document it" 

"Come on" I grabbed Cameron's arm "let's go inside, that's where the fun is" he chuckled and followed me, he looked mildly scared as he looked around the party 

"This is insane," he said when we got outside where some people were swimming 

"You're hot now," I told him referring to all the girls who had stared at him on the way in "get used to it" 

"Uh, I was talking about the party but do I hear a little jealousy in your voice?" he asked with a smirk 

I gasped "of course not, plus, I already have to right here" I smiled "this party is small compared to her sweet sixteen, we all went to the beach in Turks and Caicos" 

"Can you believe this?" Nisha widened her eyes, it was so funny when she did that 

"Casey!" I looked over to see Alden running towards me 

"Happy birthday" I squealed as I gave her a hug she turned to face Cameron next and her face twisted into surprise 

"Hi, I'm Alden, birthday girl" she purred, yep, there it was, that was definitely some jealousy I was feeling. Gotta make sure I don't go green, plus, he is my best friend why am I jealous?

Cameron looked a mix between offended and disgusted "yeah, we've met"

"Oh" it took Alden a moment "OH" she looked at me and smirked 

"Sorry, I gotta ask you something" Nisha interrupted "what are you drinking?" she pointed to Alden's glass, it did look very good 

"Oh, it's my signature B-day mocktail," she told her "it's got cranberry juice, fresh raspberries, cherry pop rocks" I made an O with my mouth, I would have to try one 

"Hi!" Brin said getting all up in Alden's face "I just wanted to say thank you so much for inviting me"  

Alden scoffed "I'm sorry, who are you?" 

"Uh, Brin Kweller, I thought I was-"

"Hey" Cameron intervened, I guess he hadn't told Brin that she wasn't directly invited by Alden herself "we're going to go get some drinks, see you in a bit" he smiled and walked away 

"Casey I don't know what you did to that Cameron guy but damn"I giggled at Alden's comment 

"What you did?" Nisha asked, shit, ok, gotta turn this around

"She means his costume" I assured her "and Cameron did that himself"

"Wow, you might just win this bet after all, but I'll tell you what, you don't need to win"

"What?" I asked 

"If you agree to help me do something I don't care who wins the bet and I will never ever tell Cameron what you did," she said rather cryptically. 

"What do you want me to do?"

"I've had a whole plan to run against Padgett for Prom Queen and I need your help destroying her, I don't know exactly what I need right now but I need you to promise that you'll be there when I need it" 

"Ok, deal" I shook her hand, I couldn't risk losing Cameron and Padgett would never tell but I didn't care what the price was, I wasn't going to lose him again, I wouldn't let it happen
