This is something I just decided to post on a whim. It's not beta'd. I'm trying this whole drabble thing out. I'll be updating twice a day...

Chapter 1

"So you're coming, right?"

"Yes, Alice, I told you I'll be there. I'm not going to miss my best friend's birthday."

Seriously. Does my sister really think I'd skip out?

Never.

I'd never flake out on my best friend.

I'm an asshole most of the time, but Bella sees through that and still gives me the time of day.

She always has. Since middle school.

"Good, because she's been down since the whole Mike thing."

"Mike's a prick. She can do better than that."

Alice's responding bitchface expression is something I can do without.

"And keep Lauren away. I don't really feel like watching her hang all over you trying to get attention. Tonight's about Bella."

I roll my eyes.

Lauren's just a pass time. I don't get what the big deal is.

"It's a big deal because Bella doesn't like her either."

Damn Alice and her psychic instincts.

A/N: thoughts? See you tonight.
