[Jettson Chen, location: locker 117]
Jett had a pretty good Valentine's day. He went out with some buds and danced around the town. HE would have taken Izzy but she had some plans or something. HE did not really listen. Jett would have gone drinking, but he got a text from Alyson about a party at The Standard Friday night, so he decided to wait and drink tonight instead.
Jett could not wait. Crashing a Silver party. Why not. Cute chicks, this would be fun. He considered taking Ben with him, maybe even invite Eden out of fun. He would love to see her handle one of those parties. It would be great. Jett drove to school as usually he got out and started his walk to the school. Of course he got a ton of hey's and hellos. The usual for him.
Jett loved high school. Of course he would be graduating this year and hopefully with a football scholarship to UCLA. Actually he did not need the scholarship, he just wanted to be recruited. eden was right. Jett would leave and probably stay away except on major holidays and a few weekends. He would still come back for Izzy and Ben. Perhaps Eden too, but you never know. He stopped by his locker and opened it up. He put books in and took books out. "Hey, how was your night last night?" He asked when someone walked over.

Ben had a plan. Well, Eden had a plan, but he and Izzy were helping her with it. He wasn't sure he was completely comfortable about where it had gone. Convincing Jett that something that happened was different than his sister jumping into bed with him...but what was he supposed to do? If Eden had agreed to it, it meant that she was okay with it, which meant he should be to.
So he'd go through with the plan. And that meant invited Jett over that night. He didn't know about the party, so he planned to invite Jett over to his house. They'd get him drunk and then Izzy and Eden would do the rest. He had to invite Jett over though because it wouldn't make sense for either of the girls to do it.
He didn't mind plotting against his friend, mostly because he knew if the tides were turned that Jett would have no problem pulling the same sort of thing over on him. Maybe for Eden it was more serious than that, but for Ben it was all in good fun.
Once he and his sister arrived at school they split off. Ben headed to Jett's locker first, hoping to find him there, smiling when he saw his friend. Perfect.
"Hey man," Ben said approaching him. "Did you have fun last night? I hung out with the girls and I guess some of Izzy's friends," he said with a shrug. "We made cookies and stuff...actually kind of fun," he admitted. He had had fun after all. "Anyway, was talking to the girls last night and they were talking about hanging out--I think Izzy's gonna come over, was wondering if you wanted to come too? Nothing big or anything, just some beer, maybe smoke some weed or pull out the hooka or something," he said nonchalantly, as if it was all completely normal. And this part was--Ben invited Jett over all the time for these sorts of things, so really there was no need for the other boy to be suspicious, and Ben kept it extremely cool, as by nature he was just more calm and collected than his sister was.

Jett looked at Ben as he walked over. "Yo dude." It was not weird for them to talk, but to talk in school> usually Benn stuck around Izzy and Eden all day, but Jett did not care. Ben was his best friend after all. "I had fun. Went out with the guys. I did not drink. You went with izzy and her friends...cookies...sounds boring, but if you had fun thats good. There is this party for some Silver kid tonight. I was going to go there. All sorts of good booze, but you do make a tempting offer."
Jett shrugged, "Sure Eden wants me over. I am afraid she might try and beat me with her surf board." Jett laughed. HE did not not they were planning something. If he did, he would be impressed. Jett liked pranks. Even if the prank publicly humiliated him, he would be mortified at first and then say congrats in the end, because Jett was a good sport. But he had no clue what was coming.
"Maybe I will come over. I get to drink either way, but I hear this party is at The Standard. Suppose to be cool. Aly invited me." He looked at Ben, "She is one of the cheerleaders." He explained. "But I could use a night with friends rather then strangers. Not sure."

Jett already had plans. As silly and basic as it seemed, the three had not accounted for this in their plans. Ben would have to try to convince him not to go to the party...that or tell the girls it was a no go for tonight and they'd have to go on with the plan some other time. If it had been Eden, she would have flipped and given it all away, but Ben played it cool.
"Party at The Standard, really," he said, he had not heard of the said party but then again, he wasn't in the loop like Jett was, when it came to stuff like that. "I guess that would be fun...was hoping you'd come hang out, but what's another night with the girls, right?" he shrugged. Ben knew it would be off if he acted like he cared, so he pretended not to.
"Aw come on though...you know Eden would never really do anything. She might say that she will, but its all talk," he laughed. "If you did come over, she probably wouldn't do anymore than complain, which is unfortunate...personally I keep telling her to just go on and fight you but she never does," he laughed. He felt his phone vibrate in his back pocket and he didn't even have to look know know who it was, it was no doubt his sister texting to find out if Jett was coming that night. Well, she'd have to wait for a response.
"But The Standard is pretty sweet, you should probably go to that," Ben said. Yes he was pretty much telling his friend to do the opposite of what he wanted but he was hoping that somehow it turned into some weird reverse psychology or something because he was at loss for what to do. "I mean if you just want to get drunk, I can get you drunk, but you know you can come over my place whenever ya want," he said, "could even stop by afterward if ya wanted...I'm sure the girls and I will be hanging out till pretty late." He hoped this was an enough of an enticing offer, but somehow doubted it. The problem was that Ben was always relaxed. He was always calm and cool. To all of a sudden try and talk Jett into changing his plans for him was not something he'd ever do and the last thing he wanted was to give himself away. If he couldn't get Jett to come over tonight, well then they would just have to come up with plan B during lunch.
"If you're going to drink though, how are you going to get back from the hotel? You better not drag Izzy with you to drive your ass and completely ruin my plans for tonight," he added, teasingly. Maybe that would do it...Ben just continued laughing, hoping for the best.

Ben did make sense. "I would feel bad leaving you with the girls. I mean they might turn you into one. Thank god you don't have a thing for Izzy or else I might get worried about you always spending time with her and Eden." Every time Jett talked to Izzy she was always hanging with Eden and Ben. But Jett doubted Ben and Izzy would ever go for one another. "I doubt you would ever like Izzy the way Eden likes me." Jett laughed, "Just kidding dude, but you should have seen it. When i kept insisting she liked me. It was so funny man."
Jett laughed getting a kick out of the memory. "Alright dude I am in. I guess I could give Izzy a break. Although I only drag her along so she can met new people. She needs to expand her social skills, but sounds good to me. I can miss one party." HE told Ben.
The reverse Psychology had worked and Jett did not even know it. "Besides there is nothing better then beer and weed. Thats my kind of night. I can get all kinds of drunk and high with that." Jett nodded. "Maybe watch some movies. Oh we can make special brownies. That sounds cool. I can make fun of Eden some more. You know she is going to plan some prank to get me back. I am looking froward to it to be honest, but shhh don't tell her. I am curious to see what kind of guts she has."

Wow...that was...easy. Surprisingly easy. Ben smiled. "Yeah...Izzy...is like my sister. And trust me, I saw Eden's reaction because she hasn't stopped complaining about it," he said, shaking his head. "Would have liked to see her face when you first said it though," Ben admitted, and that was actually the truth. Eden did have some priceless expressions sometimes.
"Yeah, brownies...good idea. We can totally make some of those," Ben agreed. "I haven't had brownies in awhile anyway," he said, already excited for the night. Prank or no prank, it would be a fun night. "Yeah...Eden mentioned she wanted to prank you. She wants me to help...but I got nothing. I mean, love Eden to death, but pranks aren't really her forte," he said, although he really did hope she pulled this one off because it would be funny seeing someone get Jett for once.
"She was pretty pissed at me when she found out I knew too. She said I should of told her." He shrugged, "I told her it was pay back for the talent show." Ben had already told Jett about how he'd found out the day of the talent show that he was signed up. He'd wanted to kill his sister that day and as far as he was concerned he'd gotten his revenge through helping Jett. Now he had no problem helping her, prank his friend.

"Typical Eden. Overreacted and got mad at you. Izzy helped her and you helped me. It all seemed fair. Besides you did need revenge for the talent show. If Eden is planning something you might want to warn her not to tell Iz. That girl can't keep a secret." Or so Jett thought seeing as thought he had not only found out with the lip gloss but also because he heard Iz on the phone. "Yeah man. I could go for some good brownies. I have not pigged out in a long time." Jett rubbed his stomach.
"Her face was priceless. I wish I had a camera. She was so adamant that I was lying and she was not into me. It was just funny. She never saw it coming. I asked her out and everything. It was great. Mean, but great. Dude if she does pull off a prank I will have mad respect for her, but I doubt it would happen. No offense to Eden but her and pranks do not get along." Jett just did not see Eden being able to come up with or execute a prank.
Jett ran a hand through his hair and eyed Ben. He did not suspect a damn thing. "How have things been going anyway? I haven't talked to you in a few days. Did Iz tell you where mom went. He latest journey. She packed up and flew out to Alaska. Said she wanted to experience extreme cold. Some research for a movie. I do not get her but what ever. Moms will be moms." Jetts mom was forever jetting off to places. That was nothing new. If jett had a quarter for every time his mother took off. "She will be gone for about a month. Dude I think the record my mom has ever stayed in town was two months and then she left."

"Yeah, she's just mad you found out," Ben said with a shrug. "And yeah, I needed to get my revenge but I think I got it. I mean maybe I wasn't the one to get her back, but I feel like she's been repaid more than enough," he said.
Ben laughed when Jett mentioned the brownies, "Well, don't pig out too much...you know how those brownies are, it will take awhile but even just one will hit you like whoa," he said. "If you want to pig out we can make some normal brownies too...or maybe another snack food so we don't get confused by mistake," he laughed, imagining that that would be bad....very bad.
"Yeah, not much has been going on. Just hanging out with the girls, the usual.---Did hear about your mom though, pretty crazy, but I guess not that crazy. I mean, both my parents are away all the time. They try and switch off so one of them is in Cali at all times but right now they're over-lapping for a few weeks so neither are around." Ben shrugged. He didn't really mind. He didn't live with his dad anyway, so when his father left it didn't affect him quite as much, but usually he'd stop by and stuff. This was the first time he and his sister had been completely alone for more than just a week. "But at least you have your freedom, surprised you haven't thrown a party yet. I mean, Eden and my version of a party is having you and Iz over," he laughed. He supposed he knew a few more people he could invite over if he wanted, like the people he'd met last night, but he was pretty sure they wouldn't be into the whole drinking and pot thing so he didn't think it would be quite as much fun.

"I was thinking of throwing one but with the. Party at The Standard and then the one in Burbank or something like that, I did not think this weekend would be smart. I am thinking next weekend or on February 29. Celebrate leap year." Jett laughed. It sounded like a good idea to him. He shrugged, "you have to admit. A party on February 29th sounds awesome." He laughed.
"Dude getting the browines confused will be fun. I bet we could get Iz to jump into the pool with her clothes on again of do that table dance. Now if only she could be that crazy around school." Jett was forever trying to get his sister to break out of her shell, but it never happened. "We can make rice crispy treats. Have not had those in forever." He told Ben.
"I say we make two batches of brownies and give the girls the batch that is normal, but tell them it has pot. I would love to see what happens." He wondered if they would be able to tell. He figured Eden would but not Izzy. "Dude between pot and beer I hope you are letting me crash. There is no way I will make it back to Malibu." Jett would be trashed. He had no idea that's what they wanted. "Parents will be parents. I sometimes forget I have them. Izzy has not heard from her dad since Christmas. She is majorly upset about it. Makes her cry when she thinks about it." Jett said without thinking, "Shit. Don't tell her I told you."
