AHMAHGAWSH. It was BIG. Like huuuuge, enormously big and like... it was big. Cam didn't know how to explain it but the mansion or house or whatever it was, well it was big. But the fact that his stomach was grumbling didn't make him forget that he needed food, quick. And just the size of the thing just made him even more excited, it might mean that they had delicious food. Like rich people food! YUMMEEEH. Maybe there was lobster, or some of those other yummy food people with money always had. Or a big chocolate cake that was waaaay too big for his own good. He became all jittery and excited and so he ran out of the car, with his t-shirt and jeans.

Formal did not go along with Cam.

The door was already open, so without thinking, he ran inside and then looked around to see any sign of food. "Where's the food? Where's the foood?!" Meh.

Jai smiled at the boy who had just walked up beside her, she realized she would'nt know anyone at this party. She was like a seventh year outsider. She looked up when the door opened and walked in after a little boy. He was excited.

Sure....

Emiliano had just arrived from Mexico, succeeding on the convincement towards his parents to let him stay at Hogwarts and live with his sister, Diana. His smile couldn't be any wider than that day, he guessed.

Inside his jacket's pocket, he held a box. Inside there was a surprise for Reese.

He slowly knocked the door, somewhat nervous because it meant that Jake, the glaring boy would be there.

anyone?

Miles happily strolled up the drive of the Upstead Mansion. He never really knew Jake that well, but Reese was the co-host, so all was good. With his hands in his pockets, he stared wide eyed at yet ANOTHER huge house. Why did all these people have gorgeous houses?

Miles unfortunately wasn't wearing his favourite green button up shirt, instead, he wore a black one, with dark grey trousers. Nothing special. Oh, and shoes, those were essential.

EEP! Vannie was already walking inside! Miles picked up his speed a little so he was at the house quicker. The door had already closed, so he knocked the door again.

Heading back to the doorway, Jake leaned against it and was about to tell the people outside that they could head on in, when his very own best friend barged past.

Now THAT was more like it.

"Hey, Cameron!" Jake called over. "Hang on a moment, food'll be here soon," he said, deciding not to mention that it was already in the kitchen and Dining Room.

Turning back to look through the door, Jake's attention was caught by a couple of people. "Come in, come in," he said, stepping back and waiting for Reese to get her backside moving with HER party.

But then, Jake saw two other guys, and one was-

"Grrrrrrrr," Jake growled under his breath, glaring at Emiliano and stepping back reluctantly, never breaking his gaze. He gave out a non-verbal message to EVERYONE that clearly said Stay. Away. From. Reese.

Rawrrrrrrrrr!

Reese,who had wandered into the kitchen,kept hearing people knocking on the door and people talking to one another.She decided she better go back into the hallway and help Jake with the guests.She just sort of left him there.She turned around and walked back towards the crowd of people,but stopped when she saw Miles and Emiliano. "Hey guys,"she said as she ran over to give both of them a hug. "I'm so glad you two could make it."

Twitch.

Eyes narrowing, Jake managed to make his way through the guests already there until he was by Reese's side. With a sharp look at Emiliano, as after all it had been HIS fault that Reese had been all mean that day in Hogsmeade, Jake reached out and grabbed Reese's hand with both of his, examining it with fake interest. Sure, he and Reese had been at each others' throats for a long time... but Jake still wanted Reese to be nice to him and ONLY him.

Glareglare.

Jai spotted Reese and grinned "Nice party Ree-la." Jai said with a smirk "I haven't seen you since, who knows when." Jai smiled at Reese and gave her a hug, she hoped there would be someone she knew at the party.

Reese took her eyes off Miles and Emiliano when Jake came up to her and grabbed her arm with both of his.Woah.She looked down at him and smiled warmly,but her smiled faded quickly when she saw Jake glaring at Emiliano. "Stay.Away.From.Him,"she plainly stated before she looked up at Jai who had come over to them. "Ohmygosh.JAIIIII!" She pulled her hand out of Jake's grasp and returned the hug Jai had given her. "It's been way to long,"she told her.

Jai grinned "Thanks for the invite Ree-la." she pulled away "I spent the whole night figuring out what to wear." she looked at Reeses dress "You look too cute." she said smiling fondly at Reese "How have you been?"

Staring up at Reese with wide eyes, Jake flinched when she pulled her hand away, looking as though he'd just been disowned. "Fine," he murmured, reaching out again for Reese's hand and just about managing to glare at this other girl who had Reese's attention. Instead, he managed to turn it into a scowl directed at his shoes.

"It's no problem,Jai.I was going to invite Josh,but I wasn't sure if he was busy or not.I haven't seen him or talked to him in ages,"Reese told her.She honestly did miss Josh.He was still and always will be her older brother.Reese felt Jake grasp her hand,again.She looked down at him and said, "Jake,I'm trying to talk.Why don't you go talk to Cam?" She pulled her hand away from him and looked back at Jai. "Oh,thanks.Heath,my stepdad, bought me the dress before the party,"she said. "I've been good.How about you?"

Jai looked at the boy and grinned "Hmm, a little crush." she asked teasing. "I wanted to invite him too but I didn't." she shrugged "Maybe it isn't too late." the three of them together again, she missed them so much. Especially Josh.

Em could only clear his throat when he noticed Jake had answered the door. The boy was only giving him those glares, that could only say one thing, Stay away from Reese. Of course, Emiliano would never do that, not when he was invited directly from Reese and because he might fear her step-brother.

No, I won't leave...Never...nunca. He shrugged his shoulders and waited for Reese.

"Reese..." Em's voice became a little louder and clear when she showed up. He hugged her back with a wide and shiny smile. "Happy Birthday..." He said, slowly pulling out of the hug and reaching into his pocket. Wait, not time for that...that shall be saved til later...

"How are you today?" He asked, quite excited about this party going on around.

Another glare? Oh, man...I am scared. Emiliano thought sarcastically. What should he do to...ignore him? Or what's better, make him more angry so he can explode and tell, well...yell at Emiliano what the hell is going on with him...

"What did-" Jake looked at the girl before turning back to Reese. "What did she just say?!" he yelled, grabbing hold of Reese's hand and scowling at it, messing with a ring on one of her fingers. He frowned and one eye twitched as Emiliano came over and HUGGED Reese.

HUGGED her.

H-U-G-G-E-D.

Nooooooo wayyyyyyyy...

Breathing deeply through his nose, Jake glared downwards again and tugged on Reese's hand pulling her away from these people. Evil Reese stealers. HISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!

"I wanna talk to you, not Cameron..." he whined, frowning at her.

Jai watched as the boy pulled Reese away and frowed, "Umm?" she looked at the guy that had hugged Reese and raised a brow "Um hi." she said putting her hands on her hips.

"Hehe.Nwah.This is my stepbrother,Jake,"Reese informed Jai with a little grin."I was honestly thinking about inviting him,but you know,you might be right.It might not be too late to invite him." Before she had time to say anymore, Emiliano had hugged her back. "Emiliano.Oh,geez.I've missed you so much,"she told him. She was about to cling onto him,but Jake had pulled Reese away a few steps. She pulled her hand out of his grasps,once again,and looked at him. "Please,stop this nonsense,"she muttered to him before she went over and hugged Emiliano again,basically she was clinging to him. "Oh,thanks.But,you know,my birthday isn't for a few more days,"she told him with a smile. "Oh,I've been great.How about you?"

Emiliano felt the pull from Jake to Reese and away from him. He grinned and looked around quite disgusted from the situation going on there. Why was Jake acting that way...would he sense something?


"Hello..." He answered to the girl Reese was talking to a minute earlier with a bow.Nothing more or less than his manners.

"Ive missed you too, Reese." He told her with the widest smile there could be, just to cheer Reese up and not let Jake take her away from him anymore. A sudden cling from her was shown, his laughter as well. He was pretty happy to be back home, and now celebrating Reese's birthday. "Ooh, really. Then, instead of giving you this..." He said, taking a medium sized box out of his pocket, "I...shall send it later." Em said, jokingly.

How was he...well, let's start. "I'm great. I convinced Mum and dad to let me stay with Diana...but with the condition that every vacations, I have to go see them...but I have no problem with that." He said with a smile. "So, I'm continuing studies at Hogwarts." He added quite excited about his sixth year.

Once the door was open,Whit walked into the mansion and roamed around the house looking for the host. Or rather,the host's. She found her way into the kitchen to find Reese,Emiliano and a couple of other people she didn't know. Perhaps one of them was Jake? "Hi guys!" she yelled giving Reese and Emiliano hugs and waving to the other two,noticing the tension in the room.

"NO!" Jake yelled. "I will NOT stop it, come HERE!" he tugged again on Reese and had to use some seeeeeeeeerious self restraint to stop from launching himself totally at Emiliano. "You stop it!" he yelled at the grinning baffoon.

"Just STOP IT!"

Stamping his foot on the ground, Jake gave a final tug at Reese. So what if it wasn't good attention... any attention was fine with Jake.

Jai frowned at the little boy, she didn't know anything about him so she wouldn't say anything but this was begining to get annoying and she wanted to talk to Reese alone, without any disruptions.

Reese,who was clinging onto Emiliano for what seemed like forever,finally decided to let go of him.She watched him pull out a little box and her eyes widened. "Ohmygosh,Em.You really didn't have to get me anything.You being here was enough,"she told him with a little smile on her face.It was really the truth.She loved having Emiliano around.Wait,was she falling for Emiliano?No.She couldn't be.She has giving up on dating guys after Lucas.Darnit.Emiliano was stealing her heart a little bit at a time.

"Really?So,your staying?I'm so excited,"Reese squeeled. "That news has totally just made the rest of my day." She smiled at Emiliano.He was staying in London! She was worried since the day Emiliano told her he might move to Mexico.She couldn't stand him leaving.

Reese heard a voice approach then and she turned to face Whitney. "Hey Wh-" Reese was cut short my Jake and his little tantrum he was having.She turned to him and narrowed her eyes. "I'm sick and tired of this attitude of yours,Jake,"she told him. She looked at Emiliano and Whitney then back to Jake. "I want you to go up to your room for a while.Now." She pointed her finger at the staircase.

Whit watched as everything happened. She smiled when she saw Em give Reese a gift and got the most amazing idea ever. "Emiliano and Reese look so cute together! They should sooooo date!!!" She'd have to talk to Reese about it later,she was even thinking about talking to him about it. Unless...they were already together and she didn't know it? Then suddenly she heard the younger boy yelling at the top of his lungs.

"What in the world is going on?" she asked and then heard Reese tell him to go to his room. She was so lost and confused now,why did he have to go to his room? And why did he have a room there?

"But that's... not..."

Don't kid yourself, it's totally fair.

"Mkay," Jake mumbled, watching his feet as he started the loooooong journey to his room. Or it would be long at this pace. "But... I'm coming back later?" he phrased it as a question before he sent one last glare to everyone around Reese before traipsing upstairs.

When he got there, Jake sat on his perfectly made bed, before curling up on the duvet, head on the pillow. "Calm it, Jakers... calm it down," he muttered to himself, closing his eyes and falling asleep.

A huge house.. obviously belonging to someone rich, appeared before Dustin as he viewd thehouse. NIce taste. He let out a sigh and headed towards the house. Reese had given him an invite and thought it rude to say no. Besides he didnt know anyone here since all his friends left. He stufed his hands in his pockets as he walked up the front walk swishing his head to the side in an effort to try and get some of the bangs out of his eyes.

When he reached the door he noddedto himself to go ahead and knock. Parties that he didnt know anyone werent his specialty but Dustin could deal. He lifted his hand and knocked waiting patiently but nervously for somoene to open the door.
