PRINCESSLEIA25: What did U say?

FUTUREPREZ: I'm ur mom.

PRINCESSLEIA25: LOL

FUTUREPREZ: Just call!

PRINCESSLEIA25: Do me a favor --call Laney. Sky

said she's auditioning 4 Hutch 2.

FUTUREPREZ: No way. RU serious?

PRINCESSLEIA25: Sadly yes.

FUTUREPREZ: OK, I'm dialing now ...

I hear Tom clear his throat. "Sorry," I whisper to him. "My mom. I've got to call her. I'll be right back." I tiptoe out of the room, hoping no one but Melli and Tom notices I'm gone. When I swing through the double door to the kitchen, I can see this is the right place to make a call. The chef is busy barking orders at assistants readying fruit tarts and freshly stuffed éclairs while the waitstaff keep running in and out with trays of fried shrimp, mini filet mignons on toast, and crab cakes.

No one will hear me make a phone call in here. I look around once more, making sure Sky is nowhere to be seen, and dial.

"HELLO?" Someone yells. Loud music is pumping in the background.

"Hey, it's, uh, Rachel," I say, almost forgetting who I am at the moment. "I was in the loo."

"Can you hear me?" Beth yells. "I'm with Liz and Allison." Liz. Why is she letting Beth call me when she knows where I am?

"Yeah, I can hear you." I glance at the door. So far so good. "Is something wrong? My mum said it was an emergency."

"You missed it," Beth screeches. "Austin and Lori had a HUGE fight and they broke up!"

"What?" I'm shell-shocked. I just saw him an hour ago, though it seems like it was on a different planet. "Why?"

"Because of YOU," she bellows. I hear Liz hoot in the background, "Go Rach!" "He was yelling at her about throwing her drink on you or something and he said he'd had enough with her games and jealousy and that it was OVER. Lori threw a plate of nachos at him and said the party was officially finished. She's kicking everybody out right now. Can you believe it? Austin broke up with Lori over you!"

I can't actually. This is crazy! There's going to be no dealing with Lori now. But wait, does that mean Austin's single? What am I thinking? I should be concentrating on getting the Hutch Adams part.

A waiter behind me drops a platter and it crashes to the floor. The chef closest to me starts cursing at him in French. Hmm, maybe he can help me with my French homework. I have a quiz tomorrow morning.

"What was that?" Beth asks.

"I dropped the bloody phone," I blurt nervously. "It's late. I should probably go...."

"Yeah, terrible curfew you have," Beth says, reminding me of the excuse I used to leave the party early. "Don't worry. Call me tomorrow. I'll fill you in on the rest."

I hang up the phone. A waiter drops another plate of chocolate eclairs and strawberries, and I don't even flinch. I've got to call Liz when I get out of here and find out more about Austin and Lori and tell her about Sky and Hutch Adams.
