Thad wasn't usually the type that would be anxious, but the second she saw the house her eyebrows arched. "Small party, eh?" she said, quoting what Piper said a few days ago when she convinced Thad to go. It wasn't that Thad didn't want to go, she loved parties, but she wouldn't know anyone there, plus some where the higher class, it was a party in a mansion after all. She looked at Piper for a moment with an I can do this kind of look, with "help me" kind of eyes and a smirk. Piper just patted her head awkwardly and laughed. "Come on padawan, don't be nervous" she said. Thad just chuckled a bit to herself, nervous. Piper wasn't much older than Thad, but since they knew each other since they were kids the small gap seemed like a century, especially when they were in middle school. Piper thought that Thad looked up to her, really she just thought of her as a good friend, but Piper was adamant about the names that showed she was older. "Here we are" Piper said, Thad looked at the house, slightly surprised.
"Jesus, this guy a millionaire?" Thad mumbled to herself but loud enough for Piper to hear. Piper laughed and shrugged. She didn't really know Greg or how he had this amazing house, it was one of those friend of a friend of a friend situations.
To Thad the walk to the front door was a million miles and a man with an axe was at the end, except it was about 10 yards and only a door waited at the end, some people on the other side some probably already drunk. She wasn't a social butterfly. She had friends of course like any other kid, but she didn't go out of her way to meet people, plus she had a hard time talking to people she's never met before. The thud thud thud of the bass shook the ground slightly. Thad absentmindedly started humming "Here Comes My Baby" by Cat Stevens and Piper threw her a sideways glance, then opened the door. music blasted out, it some dance song that Thad wasn't fond of. At first glance Thad just saw a bunch of party kids, a scene that she was used to, but then she started noticing different details, they were all of course party kids, but they were all people, Thad's inner ADD started working and she thought of all these people, all these party kids. As Thad looked around she noticed people were at least semi-formal, and her T shirt and jeans suddenly felt too casual. She wasn't told what to wear. She didn't like anything other than her T shirts (tonight's was a Cage the Elephant T shirt) some jeans and a jacket. She just shrugged it off and looked to her left where Piper was standing a moment ago. She saw Piper talking with a big group of people, looking like strong and confident Piper. Thad just gave a small inaudible sigh and went to go look for a couch where she could sit and twiddle her thumbs on for the rest of the night.
