    We have been running around all day getting things we need for the night. Dad left money for anything I needed for the weekend, so we went to the grocery store and bought all that we had put on a list earlier in the day. It’s a good thing my parents always keep the fridge stocked with beer and wine coolers. People will be coming over between four and five, so we have about an hour and a half before they’ll arrive.
    “Guys, I’m going to run home to shower and change. I’ll be back in about forty-five minutes.”
    “You staying here tonight since your mom’s working an overnight shift?” I need to make sure she’s okay. It’s something I do and always will.
    “I don’t know, we will see how the night goes. I’m not staying if you two idiots decide to invite guests to stay over, too. I’ll just head home…no biggie.”
    Ryan looks at me, then over to Ansley. “You can stay no matter what. Coop’s got extra bedrooms.”
    “Really? Like I want to see or hear you two.” She rolls her eyes and starts walking toward her house.
    “Well, I’ll be quiet but there’s no guarantees our guests will be.”
    “Shut up, Ryan,” she yells over her shoulder, as she walks up her back steps.
    “What, I’m being serious,” Ryan yells back. I laugh at the both of them and Ryan chuckles, too.
    We set up the grill and get the food out that we are going to start cooking. I run inside, take a shower and change. I throw on a pair of board shorts and a t-shirt. Ryan doesn’t go shower at home. He already has a bag he brought with extra clothes. You’d swear he doesn’t live just two doors down. He loves to make a statement with his clothes, so when he comes back after his shower in my house, he walks out wearing bright pink board shorts and a white tank with a pink FOX logo on the front of it. Ryan’s dad stops over to make sure we are going to behave tonight. He makes sure we know, even though they are going out to dinner, they will be home in two or three hours, and if we need anything, to call them. He really does have the best parents.
    I’m sitting on the deck steps when Ansley starts walking back. What the hell is she wearing? A bikini top and a short skirt is a bit much, doesn’t she think? I mean yes, this is a pool party but really, she could have thrown a tank top on. I catch Ryan staring at me, out of the corner of my eye, while I evaluate Ansley’s outfit.
    “Dude, she can wear what she wants.” Ryan’s eyebrows are raised.
    “I didn’t say anything…did I?” I’m annoyed that he looks at me like that.
    “You didn’t have to, it’s written all over your face. Quit trying to hover over her. She’s a big girl and can handle herself. Besides, we’re here if anything happens that she can’t take care of.”
    “Yeah.”
    “Soon this place will be swarming with hotties for us. Let’s make it a night to remember.”
    I stand up, fist bump him and decide he’s right. But I’m still going to make sure she’s ok during the party. I know Ryan will be looking out for her also.
    “Hey guys, what else needs to be done before the crowd comes?”
    “Nothing, Peanut, relax…grab a drink and go sit by the pool.”
    “You’re lucky I love you, Ryan.”
    He walks over and hugs her. “Yeah, I know. We don’t have to tell Coop you love me more. We can keep that our little secret.”
    “Nice shorts, by the way,” she says, laughing at him. She pinches his side and takes off running toward the lounge chair when he let go. I don’t know what I’d do without these two in my life.

    THE PARTY IS IN FULL SWING, and I can see both Cooper and Ryan are having a great time. There are a ton of people here. Honestly, I think more than what Coop even thought would come. Thank goodness they are all outside and not going in his house. There have to be twenty people in the pool and fifty out. It is crazy. I look over to see Coop smiling as he looks around. His party is a success.
    I’m
