"Can you put that in my room, and lock it back?" Juliana asked handing Theo a box of picture frames and decorations that could fall off of shelves and break easily, "Thanks."

"Okay everyone just finished. Are we ready?" Tristin asked the girl full of enthusiasm, knowing his answer was yes.

"We have ten minutes until it starts and about twenty till people start showing," Juliana explained looking down at her notebook, making sure everything is done and crossed off her list.

"Okay I'm going to do the double-check for you," Tristin said walking outside to make sure the bar is set up and everything is full. Pouring his two friends a drink to loosen them up. He didn't understand why they were so nervous and tense. Parties are easy and fun. Not whatever they're doing.

"I know we're early but pre-party!" Louise shouted following Madeline through the door with their hands full of drinks.

Juliana laughed at the girls as she watched Tristin carry three cups towards her, "Here you go."

"Ahhh you're pregaming I'm so proud!" Louise shouted excited clapping her hands together as the girl took a sip.

"To us, throwing the best party!" Madeline shouted as Theo joined, cheering for good luck.

"Teek!" Logan shouted seeing the girl with some friends.

"Huntzberger! Glad you could make it!" she shouted back hugging the boy. Feeling looser, having about three drinks in her system.

"Robert and Jackson are behind me somewhere and Colin is running a little late," he explained almost on cue the boys walked in slightly stumbling looking the girls around up and down, checking them out.

"Oh, Teek! There you are!" Robert shouted as he reached Juliana kissing her cheeks.

"Hey!" Jackson smiled keeping his eye on the girl to his left.

"See Teek, it's catching on!" Logan smiled throwing an arm over Juliana's attention, getting a certain duos attention.

"I'm Tristin," he introduced, him and Theo rushing to the girl, "And I'm Theo Montgomery."

"Logan Huntzberger," he says confused not removing his arm from the girl, sticking his other hand out to shake theirs but they just stared at it. Logan pulled his hand away confused, looking down to Juliana, who stared at the boys disapprovingly.

"Hmm nice," Tristin mumbled, the group became silent.

"I'm here don't you worry!" Colin shouted walking up to the awkward group, "I don't like the energy here I'm going to get a drink."

"Count me in!" Juliana got excited seeing a way out of this awkward situation, "Huntz you coming?"

"Right behind you."

"Hey Teek, I got to go take care of my drunk friends," Logan says trying to keep an eye on the three.

"Need any help?" Juliana asks laughing at the three boys hitting on some girls who were trying to leave.

"I'll be fine," he reassures kissing the girl's cheek, "I'll see you soon Teek."

Juliana watched as he walked off, scolding his friends as they tried to run away or grab another drink. In the last week, she and the boys have become quite close, which she loves, having older friends.

"They're interesting," Tristin says joining Juliana watching the boys leave, finally.

"Yeah I knew you'd like them," she told him happily, walking around and picking some empty cups off of tables throwing them away, as almost everyone has left, only leaving Juliana and her closest friends.

He just mumbled assisting the girl, not breaking his promise to help out.

"How are my favourite people!" a drunk Theo walked to the duo throwing his arms around their shoulders.

"You're drunk?"

"Just a little."

She looked towards Tristin who was trying to hold back laughter, "You got this?"

"Yep," he mumbled dragging Theo with him inside and up to the guest room.

"She's really hot," Theo told his friend who helped him onto the bed.

"She is isn't she."

"Very."

Tristin was trying not to die laughing, turning around and leaving Theo, walking into the girl's bathroom and grabbing the Advil then walking downstairs and taking a bottle of water. Placing it onto the bedside table in the room Theo's in. Once he turned off the lights and closed the door, he walked back down to the girl to continue helping her out.

"How was he?" she asked watching Tristin appear back into her view.

"Drunk, am I like that?"

"Sometimes," she answered him to see the reaction on his face, which was priceless.

"Juli, we're leaving," Louise hugged the girl, whispering in her ear, "Look at them," Juliana directed her attention to the boys Madeline and Louise had basically wrapped around them.

"Bye Dugray!" Louise and Madeline shouted together acknowledge the boy who stood there confused about how they always found new guys.

She laughed and gave them a thumbs up watching as they left. "God I love those girls."

"Thanks for staying and helping," Juliana told Tristin the next afternoon after they restored the house almost perfectly.

"Yeah well I couldn't leave you to take care of that," Tristan joked staring at his best friend who was passed out on the couch.

"I hate you," he mumbled into the seat sitting up, "Hangovers are a bitch."

"Aww is little T a hangover virgin?" Tristin mocked walking over to his best friend and slinging his arm over his shoulder.

"Shut it, I usually have to take care of you two," he watched the two suspiciously, "How are you two walking right now, the amount you drank you have to feel like absolute shit."

"I replaced my alcohol halfway through with soda, I'm not an idiot," Juliana looked at him smiling proud of herself.

"I didn't even drink that much," Tristin said not convinced.

"Okay sure."

"So your birthday is next week," Tristin said to the girl changing the previous subject, "What are we doing?"

"I was going to let my grandparents have a party for me on Saturday with everyone," she told the two shrugging her shoulders, not wanting to make a big deal out of it.

"That's it?" Tristin asked not convinced.

"Yeah. Why?"

"That's boring!" Theo whined, not happy.

"I mean I guess we can do something on Friday?" she suggests.

"We don't have to do anything if you don't want," Tristin reassures the girl, who is smiling up at him.

There is no way that's happening. Tristin has now made it his duty to give her the best birthday ever.

Theo looked at him confused why his best friend will pass up the opportunity to the party. Tristin giving him a look confusing him even more, giving up and rolling his eyes.

"Surprise," Tristin mouthed when the girl looked away, Theo's mouth turning upwards into a smirk. Party time.

Juliana was fine not doing anything major for her birthday. She wanted to celebrate with her dad, but she couldn't. He was on the other side of the country, hating how he couldn't be with his daughter. Trying to figure out a way to be with her.

"Call Louise and Madeline," Tristan demanded as they got to Theo's house.

"Why," Theo told him as they got out of the car walking towards his house.

"Because we need help."

"Fine. I'm calling them," he told Tristan as they walked up the stairs towards Theo's room.

"Hello?" a voice rang from the phone sounding confused.

"Madeline, hey, get Louise," Tristan said hearing a noise in the back.

"Present what's up?" Louise asked joining the call.

"We have an idea for Jules' birthday," Tristan explained.

"It's Jules' birthday?" Madeline asked clueless, Louise rolling her eyes, "Yes on Friday!"

"Oh."

"Anyway we wanna have a surprise party, but she doesn't want to do anything big," Theo explained to them pacing around the room thinking.

"You sure we're talking about the same Jules?" Louise asked confused why her favorite party girl doesn't want to have a huge party.

"Yeah, we think it's because her dad's not going to be here," Tristan added, Theo looking at him, "How fast can you two get here?"

"We'll be there in 5," Louise said quickly, her voice dropping from the call followed by a silence.

"Your mom here?" Tristan asked Theo, knowing his mother wouldn't let two girls into his room with the two of them.

"No she's in New York o for the weekend," Theo told him. The two walking around and cleaning his room a little, shoving clothes into his closet and picking up random objects and placing them where they should be.

The sound of the doorbell went off signalling they were here. "Hey, girls come in."

"We brought Paris, hope you don't mind," Louise said as Paris awkwardly waved.

"Cool let's do this quick," Tristan instructed leading the way to Theo's room.

The group sat in a circle, discussing and planning out their ideas, from the guest list, which no one could agree on, to the date and time, the only thing they all were in agreement on.

Finally, after a few hours, they had everything perfectly planned out and organised. The only things left to do were invite her friends and to get her out on Saturday.

Nothing can mess this up, everything is perfect, Paris made sure of this. Every detail is planned out, all the ways each could go wrong and two solutions. The group paced around Theo's house talking to caterers, bartenders, older friends to get alcohol, anyone needed to make this party perfect. The group was finally in agreement on everything, everyone knew what they needed to do and where they needed to be.

In their minds, this was the perfect party.
