Scarlett walks into school the next day with a messenger bag full of invitations. She sees Jake and David standing by the lockers and walks over to them. She pulls out two invitations and holds them out with a smile. "You are cordially invited to the biggest bash of the year...Danielle Landon's eighteenth birthday party...but it's a secret so don't go bragging that you got invited." She smirks as they take their invitations.
Jake smiles and nods nonchalantly. "Cool."
David takes the invitation with a large overly excited smile. "Awesome!" Then he looks down at it with sadness. "My first invitation to a big party and I can't even brag about it." He shakes his head in disappointment and begins walking down the hall.
Scarlett chuckles at him and turns back to Jake with a smile. "It's this Saturday, you can come, right?"
"Yeah, as far as I know."
"Great!"
Jake gives her a confused look. "But...why are you throwing Dani a birthday party? I mean I know you guys are friends, but I didn't think you were the kind of friends that threw surprise parties for each other." He smirks jokingly.
"Joe asked me and Taylor to help him out."
He nods in understanding and raises an eyebrow. "I'm sure Taylor loved that request." He smirks.
She snickers briefly and nods with wide eyes. "Oh yeah...she was just thrilled." She chuckles and stands on her tip toes to give him a peck on the lips. "I'll see you at lunch, okay?" She walks a ways down the hall and sees Mia at her locker snacking on a breakfast bar. She chuckles and walks over to her. "Hungry much?"
Mia looks over at her and forces a small smile. "Maybe a little."
She smiles and hands Mia an invitation.
Mia looks down at the invitation confused but takes it from her, quickly reading over it. "A surprise party for Dani?" She looks up at Scarlett in confusion. "Since when do you throw surprise parties for Dani Landon?"
"Since Joe asked me and Taylor for a little help."
Mia nods and glances back down at the invitation then back up at Scarlett. "This is at your house, why do I need an invitation?" She chuckles lightly. "I live there, remember?"
She shrugs. "Yeah, I know but I think I made far too many invitations anyways." She looks down at her stuffed messenger bag with wide eyes. "You can come, right?"
Mia takes a bite of her breakfast bar and nods.
"Awesome! See you at lunch." She walks off down the hall for a few minutes before seeing Logan sitting in an empty classroom reading a book. She smiles deviously and walks into the classroom over to Logan. She pulls out an invitation and hands it to Logan with a smile as he looks up at her with confusion.
He takes the invitation and reads it over before looking back up at her with slight confusion. "Why are you inviting me? I barely know Dani."
"That's okay, she doesn't have many close friends, so anybody's welcome. And...Mia's invited, I thought she might have a little more fun if you were there." She smiles that devious smile once again.
Logan snickers lightly at her expression and shakes his head. "Yeah...okay."
She smiles with satisfaction. "Great! See you Saturday." She turns and walks out of the classroom with a large smile. She is now determined more than ever to make this party one unforgettable night.

Joe turns the corner out of his last class and sees Dani standing at her locker. He walks up to her with smile. "Hey, Landon!"
