Lex had just restarted her search for her friends when her phone buzzed. She somehow managed to extract it from her handbag without spilling her ice cream or getting it on her top, which she considered an achievement. A text from Annabelle awaited her.
To: Annabelle
I'm near the popcorn stand. Also, you're probably the only 100% sober person here, just saying. Should I come find you or will you find me?
She'd only just sent the text when a hand reached over and stole a precious chocolate button from her ice cream. She whirled around, an angry retort on her tongue. However, on seeing who stood there, she just grinned, all anger dissipating.
"If I didn't know better, I'd swear you were avoiding me. Afraid that I'd steal all of your pledges?" She asked teasingly, resting an elbow on the girl's shoulder. Haezia was gorgeous, there was no denying that. And, had things gone differently, Lex totally would have gone there. But they were friends above anything else, and Lex was perfectly happy keeping it that way. Especially with her other... arrangements.
"So, are you going to disappear on me again, or are we actually going to hang out?" She asked, pouting a little. "Because everyone else appeared to disappear on me, so you're stuck with me, whether you like it or not," she said, throwing her arm around Haezia. In the midst of all the happy chatter, she was aware of someone- or several someones- yelling at each other. While it did sound and look out of place, she also wasn't surprised. Some people were just more volatile when drunk. And, judging by the amount of people that had been at the Sigma pregame, a vast majority of people at the carnival had to be even just a little bit drunk.
