Whats going on? I asked.
You know how news travels in this town, Trevor said. Everyone likes a party. Not just you guys.
Wheres the coffin guy? a Pradabee asked.
Is that him? another asked, pointing to Alexander. Hes gorgeous!
I wonder if he has a dungeon, the Pradabee commented. Or a secret room. I wouldnt mind if he locked me up in one. The pair laughed and followed the others to the backyard.
What are we going to do? I asked frantically. Call the police?
Noits fine. Alexander beamed.
Alexander surveyed his uninvited guests and their festive mood.
Well, we dont have enough drinks, I said. I mean, the non-Romanian kind.
Doesnt seem to matter. Looks like they are bringing their own, Alexander commented.
Sebastian lit up. Now, this is a real party. This is what were missing by being homeschooled. Look at these girls. Theyre all hot!
We arrived in the backyard to a full-fledged happening. The backyard began to fill up with every teen in town.
Heres some liquor, a soccer snob said, holding the unfinished Transylvania 1972.
He lifted it to his lips and leaned back to take a huge swig.
No I yanked it out of his hands. Thats an import! I chastised. I grabbed the goblets and carried them into the house like a seasoned waitress.
As I exited, I met an anxious Jameson in the doorway, examining the expanding party.
Miss Raven, what has happened?
We had a few party crashers.
A few? More like a hundred. I must go to the basement. I know we have more stock.
Not the cellar, Jameson, I said. Its not that kind of party.
Of course, I meant in the downstairs pantry. Jameson fretted. Oh, I wish I had time to prepare!
Id watched plenty of movies. Couples using pieces of furniture and empty bedrooms for makeout sessions while others used the furniture as coasters. I didnt want the Mansion trashed and, more important, Alexanders and Sebastians identity revealed. Dont let anyone in the house, I told Jameson before he started off. If they find Sebastians bed
I understand, Miss Raven.
Just then two girls came up to the door.
Which way to the bathroom? one asked.
That way, I said, pointing to the street. There is one at the gas station. Or, better yet, I bet theres a golden-seated one at your home.
The girls glowered at me and returned to their boyfriends.
Ill stand watch as soon as I get back, he said nervously. Jameson wasnt the only one upset. I returned to find my partylike my lifeout of control.
Couples were mashing. Some were hanging out by the fire pit. Others were dancing.
I spotted Onyx and Scarlet hovering on either side of Trevor. The girls were fawning over his beefy physique.
