   Chapter one: Best Friends for Ever 
   
     
     
   At the Cakes and Cups café Selena got a notification alert on her new apple iPod. “Omg! Jake Redman, the hot new British singer, is going to be here in Detroit Michigan to record a hot new single!” This was not unusual for Selena was always updated with any ‘Celeb’ news. “Seriously?” her friend Chelsie said in sarcasm. Everyone else at the café around them, giggled at this comment. Selena Johnson was a very slim girl, with brunette hair, faired skin and always updated in ‘Famous, Fabulous news’ as she called it. 
   But Chelsie Richman, however, was the complete opposite. She had blond hair, was thick in size, she also had faired skin but she was a complete ‘Tom Boy.’ “Oh come on how could you not like Jake? He is just so hot!” Selena tried to defend herself. “Oh Puh-lease” Chelsie rolled her eyes and continued, “Want to talk about hot? How about the peppers they put in this tuna sandwich?” At those words two other girls walked in the café door. “Hey!” said one of the girls named Britney. The other named Asia sat down in the chair next to Selena saying “Hey guys! Did you hear Jake Redman is coming here for a new hit single?” Chelsie looked awfully disgusted and said “Oh no, not you too!” “Oh come on Chelsie he’s not all that bad!” Selena interrupted. “Ugh come on guys lets go back to my place” Britney broke in. “What about lunch?” Asia said picking up the other half of Chelsie’s tuna sandwich. Slapping the sandwich out of Asia’s hand, Britney pulled Asia out of the chair, out of the café door and the other two quickly followed. “You should have at least let me take the sandwich with me! I feel so hungry I could drop to the floor right now” Asia whined. “Oh stop the whining, we’ll order a pizza later” Britney Interjected. Reaching the big and comfy house, Asia picked up the house phone and started ordering a 12 sliced chicken pizza, while Britney was in the kitchen getting sodas, Selena was deep into her phone and Chelsie was watching a football match on the 39” flat screen T.V. All four girls, who, were ‘Besties’ since kindergarten were so different in many ways. Grabbing one of the sodas out of Britney’s hand and placing herself on the floor, Asia took a big slurp of the orange flavored soda. Britney blurted out, “Ugh, Asia, young ladies aren’t supposed to slurp or sit on the floor, Right Asia and Chelsie? ’’ who was also sitting on the floor. “Ugh, just give me a soda” Chelsie responded. Taking the orange flavored soda can, Chelsie said, “I’m thinking of trying out for the football team.” Everyone gasped. “It’s a brilliant idea” Asia said. “Eww, it’s an awful idea; football is for boys not girls” Britney Interjected. Selena nodded her head in agreement. “It’s not only for boys, it’s for girls too! In fact I think it’s a great idea!” Asia said. “No! A great idea is trying out for the cheerleading team, not some guy’s sport” Selena backed up Britney. “Several years ago, when we meet, we promised to backup each other in anything one of us decides to do...” Chelsie said. “Soooo, that means we all have to support you or…?” Selena interrupted. Britney sighed. “I guess since that’s one of or BFFWAD (Best Friends forever without a doubt) rules, then we support you” Britney admitted. Asia and Selena nodded in agreement. At those words the doorbell went ‘Ding dong’ Asia ran to the door and was really pleased to see the pizza boy standing there with 12 fresh slices of pizza. Taking the pizza box out of the boy’s hand and giving him the money, he gave her a quick hearty smile and walked off. Blushing at the boy’s friendliness, she closed the door and said, “The pizza boy is quite nice don’t you think?” Chelsie looked at her, smiled and said, “Ooo you have a crush on the pizza boy!” Asia interjected, “No I don’t! I just find he’s handsome, that’s all!” As she sat on the floor, Opening and sharing out the slices of pizza, she couldn’t help but think of the pizza boy. For some strange reason, Asia got up and opened the door, maybe hoping that the boy was still there. She didn’t see him, but what she did see was something unusually shiny on the doormat. Reaching down to pick up the object, she noticed it was a name tag that read, ‘STEPHEN.R: DOWNTOWN PIZZERIA’ instantly she realized that it was the pizza boy’s own. As she picked it up and closed the door, first thing she said to the others were, “First thing tomorrow, we’re going to the downtown pizzeria” Britney’s face lit up as she said, “The downtown pizzeria is not far from my home, this means SLEEPOVER! But why do you want to go there all of a sudden?” Selena nodded and said, “I thought you always preferred to order food than actually go to the restaurant and buy it there?” Asia blushed and said,” Oh Selena, you ask to many questions, just eat your pizza” After that wonderful meal, the mothers of the three fifteen year olds ( Chelsie, Asia and Selena) came over to bring the stuff they needed to spend the night. When they were all tidied and dressed, they quickly snuggled into their sleeping bags and feel asleep. The next day, all primed and proper, all four girls went to the, Downtown Pizzeria. As they entered the pizzeria, the little bell on the top of the door went ‘Ding’. It was a fairly big place with shining countertops and tables. On the walls there were fliers stuck up noticing the new lunch menu. As Selena, Chelsie and Britney went to find a seat that was empty; Asia went up to the counter to return the badge to the pizza boy. “Can I help you miss?” asked the man behind the counter. “Um, I’m hoping you could” Asia remarked. As she read the ID badge she looked up and said, “Do you know a boy by the name of Stephen who works here?” “Oh Stephen Richards, yes, he’s in the back, let me call him” the man cheerfully replied. As the man quickly disappeared to call Stephen from the back, Asia couldn’t help but looking down at her shiny, pink flats and blushing. “Hello?” At those words Asia looked up with a calming look on her face (Although she was totally nervous) “Um, Hi!” she replied. Stephen who was also pretty nervous and quite charmed at her beauty said, “Hi! Can I help you with something?” Asia quickly took out the ID badge, handed it to him and said, “You forgot your ID badge at our door when you delivered pizza to us last night” Taking the badge Stephen smiled at her and she merrily blushed back. “Um...” Stephen started, “Thank you! I didn’t realize it was missing” “No problem” Asia said. As she turned around to walk away, Stephen said, “Although we barely know each other, I really like you!” Asia’s face lit up, she turned around and said, “I really like you too!” “Would you like to go out with me later to that new restaurant ‘Roses&Kisses?” he asked. Not knowing what to say Asia smiled and gave two thumbs up. “At 8:00pm? I’ll come pick you up! At the house where I delivered the pizza.” Nodding and smiling, Asia quickly walked away, off to share the news with her friends. Reaching the table where the other three where sitting and chatting about Chelsie’s football tryouts Asia burst out “Stephen just asked me out!!” They looked up at her. “Who is Stephen?” they all asked together. “You know the pizza boy from last night?” “Ohhhhh” they all said together again. “So where are you guys going?” Chelsie asked “We’re going to the Roses&Kisses restaurant tonight at 8:00pm!” Asia said excitedly. Not bothering to order a pizza, out of the excitement, the girls went outside of the pizzeria to squeal. Not bothering to go back into the pizzeria, the girls went over to Asia’s house while, fantasizing about what tonight would be like for her. As they entered Asia’s bedroom, the first thing Britney said was, “It’s time to get the perfect outfit!” Britney and Selena ran to Asia’s closet and scoped it through to find something suitable for tonight’s event, as Asia and Chelsie sat on the bed looking confused, no idea what to do. “Ahaha” Britney said after several minutes. She continued, “This Purple and black dress is perfect for your date tonight!” Asia stared at the dress not really recognizing it, after about two minutes, she finally said, “Oh, I remember that dress! I never wore it before because I never had the occasion to wear it.” As she took the dress tried it on, and came out, all the girls were shocked at how girly she looked (Which was not usual.) As she went to take it off, the girls (Except Chelsie, who didn’t care about all these ‘Girly nonsense’) were trying to decide on what to do with Asia’s hair. When Asia came out from behind her changing blinds, Britney pulled her towards a chair, sat her down, while Selena held up a comb and a brush. “Wow, wow, wow,” Asia started, “What are you guys doing? This is going too far! It’s not like I’m going to a royal ball or something!” she said. Chelsie nodded in agreement. “So what exactly are you going to do with your hair?” Britney asked. Asia smiled and said,” I’m going to brush it back into a ponytail.” Selena looked disturbed. “What about your makeup?” Selena interjected. “There will be no makeup, this is my natural beauty” Asia said pointing to her plain non-makeup face. “And what shoes are you wearing?” Britney asked. Asia went under her bed and pulled out a purple converse with black designs on it. “These!” she said while pointing to the converse. Selena and Britney looked quite disturbed. Both, just stayed quite, and sat on the bed next to Chelsie. Chelsie look pleased and said, “I love your fashion sense Asia!” 
   Asia smiled in a thankful manner. Chelsie smiled back. Both Selena and Britney sat there confused. Selena said, “Seriously?” Asia nodded and said, “Yes! Seriously!” Britney and Selena watched each other in a confused way then turned back and watched Asia and Chelsie. “Soo…?” Britney said. “Oh yes, let’s go over to your place! That’s where he’s picking me up after all.” As they helped Asia pack her stuff to go over to Britney’s place, Asia’s phone rang. “Hello?” “Mom?” she answered. “Oh mom you’d never believed what happened today!” “The really cute pizza boy, Stephen, who I was talking to you about, asked me out!” At those words Asia’s mother, at the other end of the phone replied, “Oh that’s wonderful honey! I’ll be home in a while! When and where are you guys going?” Asia smiled and said, “We’re going to the Roses&Kisses restaurant!” Asia’s mother said, “Ok Hun! But please be safe and please come home before 10:00pm! I should be home by then!” “But Mom!” Asia interjected. “That’s only 2 hours!” Asia’s mother burst out, “Do you or do you not want to go to that date tonight? 2 hours is better than none! And it isn’t at all safe staying out later than 10:00pm!” Asia sighed. “Ok Mom! Well I got to go! Bye” As she hung up the phone the others watched her and smiled. “So is your mother excited for you too?” Selena asked. Asia sighed and said, “Yes she is, but I can’t stay out later than 10:00pm” “Well at least you get to go!” Chelsie said. As they journeyed over to Britney’s house, they stopped to buy some barbecued wings and macaroni pie since the other three were sleeping over. “You guys are sleeping over?” Asia asked. “Yes!” they all said. “Actually we now planned it while you were speaking on the phone with your mother.” Britney said. “Yeah, Selena, you and I already have clothes over by Britney; we just need to call our moms to let them know.” Chelsie said. “Are you staying too?” Selena asked Asia. “I don’t know, I’ll have to ask my mom, let me call her right now!” Asia replied. The girls agreed and also took out their phones to call their mothers. After about two minutes, all three girls said that their mothers allowed them to stay but they are going to contact Britney’s mom first to make sure it’s alright. As they got to Britney’s place Britney’s, mother, Mrs. Fedrickson, greeted the girls heartily and said, “Your mothers contacted me to make sure if it’s ok for you three to stay overnight just as Britney requested, and I said it was alright” she continued, “Asia I heard that you have a date tonight” “Yes Mrs. Fedrickson!” Asia said. “Oh do you need a lift to come home? And I’ve also heard from your mother that she doesn’t want you out any later than 10:00pm so I would pick you up around 9:45pm at the Roses&Kisses restaurant right?” Mrs. Fedrickson said. “Yes, Oh that would be lovely, Thanks so much” Asia said. Looking at the wall clock Asia saw it was 7:30pm. As soon as the other girls recognized this too, all four of them rushed to Britney’s bedroom. They shoved Asia behind the changing blind so she could change. Selena got out her dress that was neatly set on the bed. Britney got out her shoes and Chelsie helped her to the bathroom door and shoved her in. After about three minutes, Asia ran into Britney’s bedroom and ran behind the changing blinds. Selena got up and handed her the dress and undies over the blind. A minute after, Asia came out fully dressed in her dress and socks. She went and sat on the bed to put on her shoes. Britney sat behind her and unplaited her hair from the two ponytails it was in. She quickly, but neatly combed and brushed Asia’s long red hair out into one neat ponytail. Chelsie sat on the floor watching them. “Chelsie, make yourself useful and hand me the headband on the dresser.” Britney blurted. Chelsie pelted the headband across to Britney. “Getting up from the bed, Asia asked, “How do I look?” Selena and Britney said she looked Fabulous while Chelsie said that the headband made her look girly. As Asia picked up a bottle of body spray and sprayed it all over herself the door went ‘Ding dong.’ All four girls rushed out into the living room. Chelsie, Britney and Selena bid Asia goodbye and good luck, as Asia opened the door and stepped outside. “Good afternoon” said Stephen. Asia smiled and said, “Good afternoon. “Um it’s totally rude of me before, but I didn’t catch your name.” Stephen interrupted. “Oh my name is Asia and it’s not a problem that you didn’t catch my name before.” Asia said. “Shall we go Asia?” Stephen said. “Yes!” she replied. When they got there, a waitress humbly escorted them to a table. Stephen pulled out the chair for Asia as she sat and said thank you, she observed how even more handsome he looked in his black tuxedo. As they both were seated, Stephen couldn’t help but looking at how pretty Asia was. “So? How are you Asia?” he said. Asia giggled. “I’m fine! And you?” she asked. “Same” he said. There was silence between them for a moment. “So how old are you Stephen?” she asked. “I’m fifteen” he replied. “No way, me too!” she burst. They both smiled. “So what do you enjoy doing?” Stephen asked. In his mind he was expecting to hear girly things, but he knew it was the polite thing to do, especially since he wanted to get to know her. “Well, I like bike riding, hikes, mountain climbing, camping, skateboarding, video games swimming, fishing, art and hanging out with my best friends.” Asia replied. Stephen sat there in shock. “I expected to hear girly things like makeup, shopping, hair doing!” he admitted. “Well I kinda like shopping and besides all those stuff are girly, what benefits would u get out of doing them?” Asia replied. Stephen smiled. “And you?” Asia asked. “I like all those stuff you mentioned just now including wrestling, basketball and football.” He admitted. “Oh my gosh!” Asia burst. “One of my best friends, Chelsie, is going to join the football team! I agreed with her, but the other two found that it was to boyish!” “Wait, what school do you go to?” Stephen asked. “Simmons high school, you?” she asked. “No way, I go there too!” he replied. “Really? But I never actually saw you!” Asia replied. “Actually I’ve seen you many times, I’ve just never been brave enough to see you, and I’ve always sat at the back of the class.” Stephen replied. “Do you take all the classes?” Asia asked. “Yes, except for Geography and Spanish.” He replied. “Um, should we order?” Asia interrupted. Stephen smiled. “You read my mind” he said. Picking up the menu, Stephen asks Asia what she would like. Asia was shocked. “What are you trying to say?” she said. “I’m asking what you’d like to have, I’ll pay don’t worry.” Stephen replied. Asia was surprised. “Oh no, no, no! You can’t pay for me! I have money of my own I can pay, no need to waste it on me, you need it, after all you’ve worked hard for it and you shouldn’t waste it on someone who is almost a complete stranger to you. Please don’t!” she begged.
