"Okay ladies, the official Friday night sleepover is now in full swing." Samantha Mills announced while standing above her four friends who were laying on top of their sleeping bags.
The five best friends were having their last Friday Night Sleepover of the summer.
"Okay our first order of business is to make a signature list of ninth grade. As we all know the original PC also did this. But did not make a list to remember." Sam said throwing her dirty blonde hair over her shoulder and pulling out her notepad. Sam was showing off her new pajama set. A cute blue silk camisole top with matching silk boy shorts.
"How do we know this?" Alana Harris asked raising her hand. Her brown hair falling off her shoulders. She was wearing fluffy pink pajama pants and a pink camisole.
"Remember? TPC left a notebook with all their successes and rules so the next generation could follow in their footsteps. Which is what we’re here for." Brooke Johnson said twirling her red hair around her index finger. She was wearing green boys shorts and camisole.
Alana made an ‘O’ with her mouth and nodded.
"So anyway. I will start it off and fill it out," Sam said.

"Jonas Brothers Casey? Seriously?" Lauren says looking at Casey’s paper.
"Hey! Don’t look." Casey shouts and hits Lauren’s arm.
Sam reaches over and takes Casey’s paper.
"Okay these papers and now under my supervision. Nobody will see them. And as tradition we will look at them near the end of this year. Everyone agreed?" Sam says folding the last paper and putting it the envelope.
Everyone nods.
"Okay. Say goodbye." Sam says closing the envelope and stamping it shut.
She kisses the envelope and opens her TNPC box. That contained previous year entries and slips the new one in.
"Good it’s done." Sam announces closing the box and walks into her walk-in closet. She stretches and puts the box on the first shelf above her jackets.
She walks back into the main room and goes back to the circle of sleeping bags.
"Next order of business… the welcome back camping trip. I don’t know what you guys we’re thinking but I’m excited." Sam gushed. Lying down on her stomach on her purple sleeping bag.
"I am too. And not just because the Briarwood boys are going to be there." Lauren says and smirks. She was also lying on her blue sleeping bag.
"I think we should move in on our crushes then and flirt a bit." Alana says picking at her nails, some nail polish landing on her pink sleeping bag.
"I agree," Sam says. "And we should make a packing list. So we can stand out and not lose our crushes to outsiders…"
Casey shivers in her yellow sleeping bag of fear. "I can’t even think about that."
"Exactly, so we need to be prepared." Sam says getting up and retrieving her notepad again. She quickly started writing.
The Pretty Committee’s Confidential Packing List
"Okay now whatever goes on this list will not leave this circle." Sam says putting the clipboard on her sleeping bag and sitting back down.
"Agreed." Brooke and the others replied.
"First will be shirts." Sam wrote down.

"Next then, Pants." Sam writes.
"Jeans obviously, dark only. No sweats. Pajama bottoms. No dress pants or shorts. Pack at least two shorts if it gets warm. A couple of skirts are okay only if they have leggings underneath." Alana lists off as Sam tries to keep up.
"Got that all Sammy?" Lauren asks smirking and she nods.
"Are all the guys going on the trip?" Casey asks.
"Yeah everyone from Briarwood in grade nine." Brooke says.
"Oh right."

"Oh ouch." Sam says putting down her pen then shakes out her hand.
"You okay?" Brooke asks.
"Yeah my hand is swore. It is a lot of writing but I think we’re done."
"I think we should add an ‘other’ column for anything that doesn’t fit under any of those things." Lauren suggests.
"Alana can you do it?" Sam asks holding out the paper.
She nods and takes the paper, quickly begging to write.

"Okay I got it." Alana says handing back the paper to Sam.
"I’ll scan this on the computer and email it to you guys later." Sam says.
Sam’s IPhone suddenly vibrates beside her sleeping bag.
Sam picks it up and gasps.
"It’s Blake." She turns her phone around and shows a picture of Blake she took last year at the Bye Bye Ball for both schools in June. That’s where they met then exchanged numbers and email.
"How did he get your number?" Brooke asks.
"Remember she met him last year. We were there." Alana says.
"Hurry up and answer already." Lauren says.
"Okay quite guys," Sam whispers and then touches Accept. "Hello?"
"Hey Sam. It’s Blake." His voice says on the other line.
Sam’s heart melts.
Sam puts her phone in the middle of their circle and presses speaker phone. "Oh hey. What’s up?"
"Nothing much. I’m hanging with the soccer boys. Playing video games and other things. You?," Blake says and then theirs a ‘crash’ and a ‘boom’ in the background. Then a roar of laughter. "Hey guys! Be quite!"
Sam laughs and the other girls over the mouths.
"Sorry. Anyway what are you up to on this lovely Friday night?" He says.
Sam giggles. "Well, I’m hanging with TNPC. And we were just talking about The Welcome Back Camping Trip."
"You guys are going to that?"
"Yeah all of us. Are you guys?"
"’Coarse. It’s going to be really fun and-" Blake says.
Then a voice in the background cuts him off. "Hey dude. Get off the phone."
Nolan Anderson, everyone recognizes that deep voice.
Alana smirks and air claps.
Sam puts a finger to her mouth.
"One second." Blake replies to Nolan.
"Who are you talking to anyway?" Another voice asks.
Andrew Palmer.
Brooke blushes at the sound of his voice.
"His Mom." Two voices reply at the same time.
Jesse and Jason Russell.
Casey and Lauren smile at each other and hide their faces.
"Sorry Sam. Got to go. See you on Tuesday or earlier?" Blake asks.
"Yeah, defiantly. I'll text you tomorrow or something." Sam says.
"Okay cool. Bye."
"Bye."
They both hang up.
The girls all start squealing like little girls and dancing around the room.
Sam gets up and plugs her IPod into her stereo. She flips to Love Me by Justin Bieber.
They all start dancing around Sam’s room and singing along to the song.
"Love me, Love me. Say that you love me!" They sing and laugh.
The door bursts open and Sam’s mother, Diana, is in the doorway. In her usual black DKNY jumpsuit and with her hands on her hips.
Sam quickly unplugs her IPod and smiles sweetly at her mother.
"What is going on here? Sounds like a jungle." Her mother comments.
"Sorry Mrs. Mills. We weren’t trying to bother anyone." Alana replies.
Everyone nods.
"Sorry Mom. We had a burst of energy." Sam says.
"Okay well burst over. Time for bed I think. It’s getting late."
"’Kay Mom. Night." Sam says and waves.
"Goodnight girls. Go to sleep." She says and slips out the door, closing it behind her.
Once she was gone everyone burst into another fit of laughter.
Sam whips the tears from her eyes and finally stops laughing.
"Okay guys really, I think we should go to bed now." Sam says and sniffles.
Everyone slips into their multicolored sleeping bags.
"I think we should make an oath." Brooke says while Sam turns off the light and climbs into her own sleeping bag.
"About what?" Alana asks.
"About us. And trying to win our crushes." She replies.
"Okay," Sam thinks. "I swear on our friendship that we will try and win our crushes and try not embarrass ourselves in front of them during and after the Welcome Back Camping Trip. Amen?"
"Amen." Everyone replies.
