Megan POV

     "How about this one?" I ask, twirling around in a full body mirror, examining the fancy yellow dress I'm wearing.

     "It looks nice, but I think you'll look better in red." Jenny tells me honestly, handing me a hanger with a long silky red dress with a gold belt.

     "How many dresses do you have?" I ask, laughing a little.

     "Oh, a whole closet full of them. Although, I seriously had to cut down my stash when I moved to college." She says, waving at the small closet behind us.

     We're currently getting ready for the party tonight, and Jenny is letting me try on some of her dresses so I can wear one. Charlotte and Alice are in the bathroom, doing each other's makeup. Colin, Max, James, Corbin and Anthony are all setting up decorations, getting food, or inviting other people to the party.

     Jenny is wearing a beautiful black dress with a silver belt, necklace and earrings to go along with it. Honestly, I don't think I can compete, but I don't really want to anyway.

     I take the yellow dress that I'm wearing off, and start putting on the red one.

     Yes, we've seen each other in our bras and underwear. It's not a big deal, especially since we've both stripped naked in front of guys before.

     "This is kinda crazy, you know?" I say, more so just thinking out loud.

     "What's crazy? Charlotte getting pregnant?" Jenny asks, as I pull my head through the dress.

     "Yeah. I've never known a young mother before. So this is the first for me." I say, running my hands along the long sleeves of the dress.

     "Not me. My childhood best friend got knocked up at fifteen." She says, shrugging. "What I find interesting though, is James's brother."

     "Yeah, James doesn't seem to pleased by him showing up. Then again, he's never pleased about anything, but still." I say, moving over to her jewelry box to see if I can find a gold necklace.

     "I mean, it makes sense. He's hot, smart, talented. Who wouldn't want a guy like him?" Jenny says, almost dreamily.

     I look over at her in confusion, then say. "You're talking about him as if you know him."

     A brief look of panic flashes over Jenny's face, but she quickly covers it up with an innocent smile. "No, I'm just basing him off of how James described him."

     "Right." I say, not totally convinced, but if Jenny says she doesn't know him I believe her, until she proves me otherwise.

     A few hours later, all the guests start to show up. We all wait in the kitchen, except for Jenny, who is at the door, welcoming people in.

     Colin is beside me, with his arm around my waist, as I lean against his side. James is beside Colin, who is fidgeting nervously. He keeps looking over at the door too, giving it a scathing death glare.

     I'm a little nervous for when Jasper arrives. I highly doubt James will try to get physically violent with him, but I can see him spewing out a couple of death threats.

     After a few minutes of waiting around, there's another knock at the door, and when Jenny opens it, I see a guy that is most definitely James's brother. Based on the reaction from James, I'm right.
