Hayden sighed. Yes he loved and enjoyed parties, he loved drinking. But that was normally in a simple manner, nothing elegant. Plus....the Burr hated suits. He hated wearing them when he was a child, a teenager, and especially now. But he would reluctantly put the suit on his body. "Atleast I look decent in this piece of....." he would speak,as he moved to find his phone. He heard a beep from it earlier, but couldn't find the time to check it. He had heard his big brother yell out for the uber, and he decided to call his own. He didn't feel like sharing a car with everyone else. He took his phone and would unlock it, staring at the picture of him, Daisy, and Daniel. They were his rocks.
To: ❤ Danny Boy ❤ (Daniel)
Sure thing babe <3
He would laugh aloud as he typed the text. His best friend, also happened to be one of the guys he had liked. Was it awkward? No, they were still bros. Hayden was happy that his friend didn't let it move into their relationship.
To: Alexander Hamilton (Daisy)
Attachment: PICTURE
I'm going to see you there right? Bc I don't think I can do this type of shit without you and Danny. Also, I look good right?
He would speak, before his phone went off. He would roll his eyes, and would exit his bedroom. He made his way downstairs, and hooped in dark black car. With a stranger, to head to the party. Hayden couldn't wait.
NAOMI SATO
location; Alpha HouseXXoutfit; X
———————————————————————
Naomi leaned forward towards the circular mirror of her vanity as she glided the dark rouge hue across her lips. Her cat-lined eyes blinked back at her reflection, and her newly painted lips curved into a satisfied smile. Raising her hands to her head, she thoughtfully brought together her straightened locks, considering for the third and final time whether she should actually put them in some sort of updo. Instead, she tucked both sides smoothly behind her ears.
Done. Finally.
Naomi loved parties, but good grief getting ready for them took forever. Especially when the party was one as illustrious as the 'Guys in Ties, Girls with Pearls' soiree she was currently prepping for.
A soft buzz sounded, and she stood up from the table. Walking over to her bed, she searched the strewn sheets for her phone, finally finding it nestling between a nook in her duvet and a cushion. She pressed her thumb against the middle button, and looked through the two new messages.
From; Yuda
Yes, the rumors are true, I will be attending tonight's event. No pictures please.
With a smirk, Naomi texted back a teasing reply.
To; Yuda
About time you got out of the house. Fucking vampire.
Wear something cute for me, k? ;*
The second message made her pause for the briefest of moments, but then she was sending back a reply just as jovial as the prior.
From; Pothead
U need a hot date for tonite? Hmu
To; Pothead
Depends... will said hot date pay for the uber?
"Omi, open up! Show me what my competition for tonight looks like!" Smiling softly, Naomi opened her bedroom door. However, upon hearing Audrey's next sentence, her expression turned to one of good-humored suspicion. "And if you're Uber is on the way, make sure there's an extra seat for my beautiful Little. I'm going to borrow yours for a few minutes, so we'll swap."
"Borrow? May I ask what for?"

Making sure the smell of weed had faded, Archie walked over to the door, "You two better hurry up and get down there. If us Betas don't show our faces, every sorority girl on campus is going to go lesbian rather than having to choose a Kappa or Sigma to go home with. You know how big we are on community service, boys. Let's be good citizens and keep the ladies happy tonight, but that doesn't mean I approve of any pity fucks. If you plan on bringing home a Theta, you better text me first for approval." Hudson's voice held a joking tone, but Archie knew he and Mad better get going, they didn't want to piss off their fearless leader. With a mock salute and "Yes sir." Directed at Hudson, Archie and Maddox made their way out of Archie's room, past the common room and out of the door. "You don't want to keep Eli waiting...or will it be Naomi tonight?" It's Archie's turn now to play dumb as he gives Maddox an innocent look and a small shrug, "I have no idea what you're talking about Maddox," Archie feigns nonchalance but eventually is facade cracks and Archie can't help but smirk, "Why not both?" He finishes with a wink as they pull up to the party.
Hopping out of the car, Archie can see the party is already in full swing but before he can step inside, his phone beeps with incoming texts, smiling at each reply from his friends, Archie quickly shoots some back.
To: Daze
When don't you look stunning? You better get here soon.
To: Eli
Oh I love it when you talk dirty.
To: Abby
Already here, hmu when you are.
To: Omi
I'm already here, but I can offer you an uber ride back to mine? ;-)

Tucking his phone back away in his inside jacket pocket, Archie pats himself down before he and Maddox head in. "If you need me, you know what to do." Archie gives his big a thumbs up as he watches the guy walk off. It doesn't take long before Archie is approached by someone new, what was her name? Katie, Karen, Kat? Archie couldn't remember but she was making a direct beeline for him so Archie just stood still and smiled at her, hoping the name would come back to him.
"Arch, I haven't seen you in agesssss," Archie nods, despite not being able to remember ever seeing her, as the girl leans further in toward him, a strand of long blonde hair falls onto his shoulder as she whispers, "We should catch up sometime." So maybe Archie didn't recognise the girl, but that doesn't mean the proposition didn't sound tempting to him. "Let me buy you a drink." He offers, and the pair wander over to the bar.
Once there, Archie notices Eliana and sends her a mischievous smirk, "Miss me?" He asks the girl, having not seen her for a couple days, feeling a tug on his sleeve, Archie turns to the girl at his side and then back to Eliana, "Oh, yeah this is, uh-" Archie pauses for a moment and the girl frowns at him, "I'm Amy." She says. Unable to hide his surprise, Archie wonders where the hell he got Katie from, but smiles like he knew it the entire time anyway. "Of course Amy," Archie looks at her with a soft smile, before turning back to Eliana, "She's a friend."
As the bartender makes his way over to where Archie is stood, he attempts to order some drinks, but is greeted with a firm "I'm gonna need to see some ID." from the bartender. Pretending to pat down his pockets, Archie gives the bartender an exasperated look and a shrug before saying, "Damn, I think I must've left it at home." Turning to Amy, Archie smiles sheepishly until she gets the message. "Oh right, yeah I'll get these - here's my ID." Taking a glance at her license as she hands it over to the bartender, Archie's eyes widen when he realises that she's 24. He didn't even know people could stay at Fulton for that long.

However, she knew that she owed Naomi at least a little bit more than that, so with a smile that was nearly apologetic, she added, "Nothing bad. Nothing you need to worry about. I just need to give our little black sheep of the family a little bit of TLC. You can have her back as soon as you get there." A glance at her phone signaled that Hudson and Weston were almost here, and that it was a good thing too, because Audrey didn't want to be too late for this party, and the time signaled that they were getting close to that point. Though she didn't know if Naomi would push for more information than that, the guiltier side of Audrey didn't want to handle it even as a possibility, so she purposely didn't give Omi much of a chance to answer before giving her a wink, and starting towards the end of the hallway where the stairs were. "I'll have Jules wait for you outside, and I'll see you there!" she called out.

"Why does she want to talk to you?" Juliette asked, arms crossed over her chest with her face sporting what seemed to be her signature look of anger and offense. "Don't tell me that you had Michaela and Jazmyn over again today." Juliette could not comprehend why Charlotte insisted on doing the exact opposite of what Audrey told her to do. In her opinion, it was clearly Charlotte who was the one out of the two of them who constantly needed the attention to be focused on her. That was why she was always purposely acting out, Juliette believed.
"I was going to ask you if you knew," Charlotte said, throwing in a nonchalant shrug. Aside from the nail polish incident, Charlotte felt like she had done well this week at adhering to all of Audery's unnecessary and annoying demands and standards. She had been busy with two school papers, so that was part of it, but for the most part, outside of class, she had remained in the Alpha house (alone), or in the campus library. She had barely seen her friends since last weekend, so she didn't know what Audrey could need her for. She assumed, however, that it was just going to be a car ride full of discussions about how she needed to use this party as a chance to redeem herself, and how she was forbidden from even looking in the Zetas' direction, or something.
"She didn't mention anything to me," Juliette acknowledged, before quickly continuing with, "But can you please be normal tonight? I don't want Audrey to be in a bad mood, and some of mom's friends are going to be here. You know they'll tell her if they see you don't anything weird with your friends."
Charlotte wanted to object, or at least tell her sister that unlike her, she had enough of a brain to know that she was allowed to interact with people from other houses, regardless of social stigmas, but before she could, Audrey came downstairs. As much as Charlotte disliked Audrey at times, there was no denying that she was everything than an Alpha president should be. She was beautiful and graceful, she knew how to demand respect and get her way, and she was intelligent and influential. Charlotte didn't like her being her President, but she could give credit where credit was due, and in part because she felt like Juliette's stare was going to burn a hole in the side of her face if she was anything but respectful, Charlotte smiled at the redhead. "You look pretty, Audrey."
"She looks more than pretty! Oh my god, that dress looks even better in real life than it did in the picture you sent me."
"Thank you, my loves," Audrey smiled, relishing in the praise for a moment, before nodding approvingly at the two girls, too. She had seen both outfits before they had been put on the girls, but the Arnault genes never failed to make anything look flawless. That was one more reason for why it was all the more frustrating that Charlotte didn't take advantage of it on nights that weren't like tonight, where she was forced to dress nicely. "You two look perfect as well," she complimented, with her eyes flashing towards Charlotte's hands to make sure that the girl had rid herself of the chipped black nail polish that she had originally planned on wearing tonight. With confirmation that it had been replaced, her smile returned, and she opened up the front door. "Jules, Naomi should be down in a minute. We'll see you there," she said, waiting for Charlotte to follow her out. Charlotte did follow, but only after sending a quick text to Naomi that read, "Why am I being forced to ride alone with Audrey? Is my body going to be found in a shallow ditch miles away in a few days?" While Charlotte knew that Naomi was best friends with Audrey, she was close enough with her own Big to confide in her about how she sometimes felt like Audrey unnecessarily targeted her. Additionally, given Naomi's closeness to Audrey, Omi was usually helpful in giving Charlotte a heads up right before Audrey was going to snap on her about something.
The limo was already waiting for them, so Audrey headed towards it, smiling at Abby as she passed and saying, "Abby, Naomi and Juliette are about to leave if you need a ride." Normally, she would have been welcoming for any of her Alphas to ride with her, but she needed some alone time with Charlotte, Hudson and Weston tonight, and once the pair were in the limo with the boys, and the driver pulled off, she knew that she had that.

Ben worked his way through the crowd, lightly moving people out of their spot in order for him to get by. His head towered some of the women and some of the older gentleman that had more than likely started shrinking in their old age. Ben had no idea what she would be wearing so it even be possible for him to spot her by her attire this evening. Nonetheless, he kept looking. He knew what his girl looked like enough for him to be able to spot her in crowd. As he made his way in the maze of people that gathered and grew, Ben's phone buzzed in his pocket. He stopped dead in his tracks to pull it from it's deep abyss of a pocket. His stomach fluttered with emotions as he hoped it was Ayala texting him back. It wasn't. His body's excitement calmed. He received two texts, one from Amaris and one from Abigail. He quickly typed responses - any minute spent staring at his phone, was a minute with Ayala passing him by. He typed out 'of course, you'll always have one saved' to Abby and 'just got here now, looking for Ya, seen her?' to Amaris. He gripped his phone, not waiting for a reply for either, but rather keeping on the alert just in case Yaya walked past. He kept moving from the inside of the crowd, working his way out with hopes he'd run into her. Just as he was nearing the edge of the huddled bodies, he felt a grip tighten on his suits sleeve. Ben turned to see who was grabbing, only to hear a soft and breathy "I'm already here," escape from the mouth of the one he searched for.
The world paused around him. Everything that was moving stood still, every sound the reverberated off the walls were quiet now. His eyes laid in her big hazel eyes and Ben suddenly remembered all of the reasons he loved her, as though they were once easy to forget. His eyes wandered down her body, then back up only to rest on her lips. He wanted so much to lean in and kiss her as though they hadn't been apart for the last several months. He gazed back into her eyes. "You look beautiful," a barely audible compliment stumbled from his lips. Ben was in a trance, seeing and hearing only the girl who stood in front of him now. Her arm still gripping his suit jacket, his arm cupping her arm. Ben held her close to his body, as if he was ready to hold on forever and never let go.
Yaya sucked in a deep breath, as she watched Ben eye her lips she wanted to kiss him, she wanted to kiss him so badly but it would just muddle and confuse things between them. She couldn't, however, resist the urge to touch him and stood on her tiptoes to slide her arms around his neck. She couldn't help but marvel at how good he felt just pressed against her body. Memories of the two of them seemed to flash in her mind. Memories of him laughing warmly at how terrible she was at Portuguese, of their first date, of them lounging in bed casually and for the life of her she couldn't think of a reason for them not to be together, "God, I've missed you."
The way her fingers interlocked around his neck, the way her eyes drew him in, the way her warm breath reached just under his chin. Yaya wasn't short but she didn't quite reach eye level with Ben either. A smile broke across Ben's lips, it was the first sincere smile he's let show in months. "I've missed you too. More than you know." In this moment, Ben was unsure of what angered him to the point of separating for the summer in the first place. "Ya, I was stupid to let you go. Even for a minute." All their bad moments were locked away in Pandora's box. Ben wrapped his arms around Ayala's waist, he pulled her even closer, as though he could infuse the two of them together and never let her escape again.
Yaya stepped out of Ben's arms and crossed hers over her chest, "Ben we needed the break." She tipped her head to the side and considered her words carefully, "I care about you and I know you care about me but you don't trust me. If you did you wouldn't freak out every time a guy hits on me. You would know that no matter how many guys hit on me that I was leaving with you." She reached out and grabbed his hands, not wanting him to feel like she was rejecting him, "I want us to be with each other but I want it to be healthy. How would you feel about staring over? Going on dates and getting to know each other again?"
Ben stood back, carefully considering the words Yaya was saying. He felt a little hurt by them, but he knew he couldn't fight against them because she was only saying them for both of their best interest. A confused look painted itself across his face, Yaya moved in to grab his hands, to assure Ben that this wasn't the end, just a new beginning. Reluctantly, Ben nodded. He knew this meant he could get her back, he just needed to learn how to trust her. "Let's start over," Ben agreed, he pulled her hands in and around his waist, his hands moved her to her waist. Ben arched his neck, bringing his head down to meet her, and softly placed the first kiss in months on Ayala's lips.
Yaya smiled against his mouth, "Agreed." The smile stayed on her face as she wiped a bit of lip gloss off of his lips.

Yuda got up from her vanity, butt numb and walked over to her bed to grab her purse."Lip gloss? Check! She named the items as she dropped them in her bag. "Phone? Check! Wallet just in case because you know how daisy is? Check! Tampons just in case of an emergency? Check! Mints? Check! Tiny bottle of perfume, you know, just in case? Check! And lastly, my Nintendo DS for when the party grinds to a halt? Check! After grocery listing the items that Shen might need for the event, Yuda gave herself one last look in the mirror and fixed herself a bit; looking all around her room for her necessities threw her hair off a bit. She sighed, already ready to head home even if it was just the beginning of the night and headed down stairs to meeting Amaris Nicholas and Daisy.

From the entrance of the kitchen, a sharp left and following the length of the hallway, and Amaris was in the great room of the Theta Chi house, eyes trained on her phone as she began to receive text messages from her babies. She hadn't heard anything from Eliza, which was why she immediately set to text her Little in favor of knowing where the girl was. She had also gotten a text from Eliana, which led to Nick holding the front door open for her (he did it anyway, so it wasn't like she was moving without knowledge of the happenings all around her) and responded to that as well just as they were halfway down the neat brick-lined pathway which was framed by neatly-trimmed green grass on either side. Amaris made a habit of parking across the street from the house, particularly so that her Bentley wouldn't suffer from direct exposure to the sun (nothing to worry about tonight, obviously) when the daytime returned. She was sliding her cell phone back into her clutch just as Nick reached over to grasp her elbow, assisting her in taking the step off the curb. She smiled.
To: Eli
Aren't we? He thinks he's gonna be the sober one tonight and something tells me I'm going to be the one driving us home with all the drinks he'll be offered lol. On our way
To: Liz
How are you getting to the party? It'll be a tight fit, but are you still home? I can give a ride.
"Such a gentleman," she commented quietly, a playful glint in her eyes as she peered over at him from under her long dark lashes and Nick rolled his eyes. "Stop flirting with me," he replied with a raised, daring eyebrow and Amaris chuckled quietly, stopping only when they had arrived at her car and heard Daisy exiting the house as well. While Amaris beamed at the girl's compliment, Nick flushed and hurried to unlock the vehicle, clicking the button and opening the front passenger door for Amaris. "Please, babe, you're a doll," she said, a bit of a response for the both of them since Nick offered a quiet "Thanks!" as he reached through the front passenger side to put the key into the ignition and at least start the car up. Luckily, simply because it was Florida but also because global warming left the night warmer than it typically was this time of the year, they wouldn't have to turn a little heat on. "I figured, since it's senior year, there was no point in not showing off," Amaris continued to explain as Nick moved out of her way so that she could enter the car. Once she was seated and was looking back at her phone (she really should just keep it in hand at this point), he was opening the back passenger side door for Daisy, inquiring loudly so that Amaris could hear from the back, "Is Yuda coming?" Amaris nodded for a second as she set to type out responses to the Theta Chi alumni she knew were already at the venue and Yuda herself. "Yeah, should be coming down now." Once Daisy was in, Nick closed the door for her and as he walked to the driver's side of the car, he pulled his own phone out to see no response from Wes. Which made him frown, a sort of deflation in his mood due to the disappointment and uncertainty he had yet to truly verbalize or confront, but he hurried up to fix his expression and shove his phone back into his pocket in favor of getting inside the car.
To: Yuda

Luckily, simply because it was Florida but also because global warming left the night warmer than it typically was this time of the year, they wouldn't have to turn a little heat on. "I figured, since it's senior year, there was no point in not showing off," Amaris continued to explain as Nick moved out of her way so that she could enter the car. Once she was seated and was looking back at her phone (she really should just keep it in hand at this point), he was opening the back passenger side door for Daisy, inquiring loudly so that Amaris could hear from the back, "Is Yuda coming?" Amaris nodded for a second as she set to type out responses to the Theta Chi alumni she knew were already at the venue and Yuda herself. "Yeah, should be coming down now." Once Daisy was in, Nick closed the door for her and as he walked to the driver's side of the car, he pulled his own phone out to see no response from Wes. Which made him frown, a sort of deflation in his mood due to the disappointment and uncertainty he had yet to truly verbalize or confront, but he hurried up to fix his expression and shove his phone back into his pocket in favor of getting inside the car.

At the car. Parked across the street.

Thanks, love. Though I'm pretty sure you're already there looking like a supermodel and whatnot.
NAOMI SATO

———————————————————————
"My, oh, my, don't you look stunning?" Naomi should have known better than to be so easily flattered, but she was easily won over by compliments, and she knew she looked good. It was a sleek look, and she looked almost feline with her subtly winged eyes and slender frame. Still, even if she looked absolutely horrendous, Naomi was well aware that she could trust Audrey's compliments. The Alpha president had a penchant for brutal honesty- if Naomi looked bad, Audrey would certainly tell her so.
With a flirtatious smile, she pointedly looked the redhead up and down, commenting in a faux blase tone, "Not so bad, yourself."
She was making a severe understatement, of course. Audrey looked gorgeous. Audrey always looked gorgeous. The girl simply wouldn't settle for anything less.
"For important, top-secret Alpha Theta Pi presidential duties, of course!" A little red flag immediately went up, and Naomi raised her brows in a touch of exasperation. Yes, Naomi knew that Charlotte was... different, and she knew that Audrey loathed when the certain expectations of an alpha weren't met by said alphas, but...
Well, that was just it. Charlotte simply didn't fit, and what's more, the girl had no desire to. Sure, she did try to appease Audrey's demands, but she never changed herself. As far as Naomi could tell, Charlotte's priority was Charlotte, and the Little was not about to throw away who she was in order to conform to some admittedly twisted set of standards.
Naomi actually admired that about her, not that she would ever tell Audrey that.
"Nothing bad. Nothing you need to worry about. I just need to give our little black sheep of the family a little bit of TLC. You can have her back as soon as you get there."
Naomi knew the game by now. Audrey wasn't letting her get a word in edge ways, which suggested that Audrey was up to something of arguable moral standing. As the redhead spun around and headed down stairs, Naomi could only sigh in mild frustration.
"Kuso..."
Her phone buzzed again, and she chuckled at Yuda's message.
From; Yuda
Omg, shut up! It'll be useless looking nice just for you because I'm pretty sure you'll be going home with someone else xoxo
To; Yuda
jealous are we? ;) See you soon xx
Her phone buzzed again, twice, and she opted to read her little's text first.
From; Charlittle
Why am I being forced to ride alone with Audrey? Is my body going to be found in a shallow ditch miles away in a few days?
For a second, she felt a twinge of guilt. She's tough. She can handle whatever crazy scheme Audrey's got cooked up I'm sure.
To; Charlittle
I'm as lost as you are... if you die, I'll avenge you tho, so don't worry xx
Reading Archie's text, she only scoffed, and stuffed the phone into her purse with a roll of her eyes. "Moron..." She betrayed a smile before taking a final look in the mirror and heading downstairs. Smiling at Abby and Juliette, she nodded towards the uber waiting outside.
"Coming?"

When he read the text from Hayden, he chuckled out loud. That boy was like his brother. They were close enough that Danny could laugh off Hayden's freshman year crush. The other text from Daisy left a smile across his face. He couldn't lie. She was right. She looked good in anything to him. Danny wanted Daisy. There was no denying that. The problem was that she was tight with Eliza, and the feeling he felt at this moment when he realized he had no reply from her. That muddled things, but he couldn't let it stop him from having fun. Not until he was sure about Eliza at least. He shook off the inner dilemma and went to type out his replies.
TO: Hayden
lol just get here fast.... Ben ditched me for you know who.

You're right ya know ;) I'm chilling at the bar. Come see me when you get here?

The party was filling up, but Danny's friends were absent so far. He swung back around to face the bar and waved the bartender over to order a drink. As he waited he pulled out his fake ID. He'd be 21 soon, and he could throw it away. He slipped the ID across the marble bar top. The bartender took a glance and slid it back to him. These bartenders weren't too concerned with underage drinking. Danny smirked to himself before looking up to order, "I'll take a glass of Johnny Walker Blue Label on the rocks. Please and thank you." Danny slid the bartender his card. When his order arrived, he leaned back and relaxed as he sipped his liquor.

Yaya stood by Ben as she watched people around the party mingle. She felt a weight being lifted off of her shoulders and it almost made her want to go out of her way to socialize, almost. She noticed some people that she knew starting to arrive and as she looked to the bar she spotted both Daniel and Archie. "Hey I see Archie, meet up in like thirty minutes to an hour. Danny is there too if you want to head over."
Part of her thought that this would be a good opportunity to see how he did with watching her communicate with a guy that she was close to. That was their only real problem anyways. They got along amazingly besides that, hell half of the people on campus thought that they were one of the happiest couples on campus, the others didn't know them. I mean he was doting and kind, he made her laugh, they had a great physical connection, and he never judged her or forced her to change in any way.
She smiled and kissed him on the cheek before walking over to where Eliana and Archie were standing. "Well look who's here" She said sidling next to Archie and his lady friend, she nudged him on the shoulder rather than opting for a hug. She also leaned a bit to make eye contact with Eliana and she sent her what she hoped looked like a friendly smile. She made it just in time to watch the bartender hand him a drink and she eyed him in false judgement before sliding her eyes over to his friend. "Who's this?"
She turned to the girl and lifted one of the corners of her mouth, "I'm Ayala." She honestly felt like she didn't need to say who she was and that wasn't being cocky or thinking she was better than anyone but the fact that becoming an Alpha meant that everybody knew her business all the time. As soon as her and Ben took a break people were asking her about it. She bit her lip softly as she began to lose her train of thought. She wondered where to go with this "just dating but not really exclusive yet thing." If she was honest the thought of him being with someone else made her want to lose it and she wondered if that's what he felt every time he visited her at work.
She released her bottom lip and stuck her tongue out to lick it before leaning against the bar to get the bartenders attention. He came over pretty quickly and asked her what she wanted with a flirty look in his eyes but she chose to pretend it wasn't there. "Can I please get a rum and coke?" She asked with a smile. "Here's my very real and very legal i.d." She said sending a playful look to Archie.

There was tension in the car, and had been since he had revealed to Weston what was really going on here, but the moment that Audrey stepped into the car, Hudson was smiling again. It was a smile that he couldn't help being there, and it was as if there was no wiping it off of his face, even if he wanted to. Why he was so mesmerized with Audrey, he would never really know, but it was noteworthy that Hudson wasn't even undressing her in his head as he looked at her, like he did to most girls. "Can't you tell by that enthused smile on his face?" he answered, not looking at Weston then, but knowing that there was no smile on his face. He sent him a hard glare that was sure to signal that he better put one on his face now, if he knew what was good for him, though.
"Perfect, then let's get Charlotte in the loop," Audrey smiled, looking at Weston briefly, in an attempt to re-read his expression in some way that would allow her to believe that maybe he wasn't as bothered as he looked, and that he had taken the news well enough to convince herself that Charlotte might to. She turned to Charlotte a second later, with an eager smile, as if she had amazing news that she couldn't wait to share. If business failed for her (which she knew it wouldn't), at least she could have a backup career in acting...
"Yeah... I'd appreciate it." It was the first thing that Charlotte had said since getting into the limousine, and that was mostly because she was really confused about what was going on. It would have been strange enough to have to sit in a limo for the duration of the ride with just Audrey, but adding Hudson and Weston into the mix was perplexing. Hudson would have been one thing, since she knew that he and Audrey were close friends. Had Weston not looked so uneasy, and had Audrey not brought Charlotte along because she wanted to talk, then maybe Charlotte could have pieced this together as Audrey and Hudson wanting to ride together, and Weston being invited because he was Hudson's Little. Given the situation in reality, though, there was no way to logically explain why she was here, and what Audrey was going to get her "in the loop" about.
Audrey didn't waste a moment in beginning to speak, once Charlotte acknowledged her. "Well, as you know, I've been worried about you," she began, her smile fading almost instantly as she looked at Charlotte with a more somber expression. "You're just always... off track. You have so much potential and that's why you made it as an Alpha in the first place, but you don't utilize it, and it's upsetting. It's really upsetting, and you know me, Charlotte. I can't just sit around and watch one of my girls waste away, due to all of these meaningless distractions." And by meaningless distractions, Audrey most certainly meant all of the unworthy friends that Charlotte seemed to choose over her own Alpha sisters. "So, I've decided to do what any good president and friend would do. I've set you up with a distraction that will actually do some good for you," she continued, pausing only slightly, before looking towards Weston with a smile, as if she were the host of a game show, revealing a contestant's grand prize. "Meet your new boyfriend, Weston."
"Are you on drugs?" Charlotte was smirking, and not because she found her own comment to be amusing, but because it was her first reaction to what Audrey said. It was hard to interpret it as anything other than a joke, and she wanted Audrey to know that if it wasn't a joke, it was a laughable suggestion, because Charlotte wasn't going to treat her words as a serious demand.
"You should be thanking me, Charlotte." Audrey wasn't getting sharp just yet, but she allowed a tinge of hurt to accompany her words. She had prepared for this, so again, the offense was feigned and rehearsed, but a part of her did want to believe that Charlotte was reacting ungratefully. She was doing a good service by helping and guiding Charlotte. However, even if her voice was still cool and calm, it seemed necessary to tell Charlotte what was on the table before the girl let her mouth get the best of her. "If Hudson and I hadn't come up with this option, I would have had to terminate your sisterhood with Alpha Theta Pi, and if I had to do that, I would have felt inclined to do the same for your sister. Isn't this more fair for everyone?" Of course, it was wrong for Audrey to include Juliette in this in any way, shape or form. Juliette was a model Alpha member, not to mention the sweetest Little that Audrey could have ever asked for, but no relationship in the world was more important to her than her own image. It was messed up and sad, really, but if Audrey had to toss her friendship with Juliette away, just to prove a point that she would get her way, then she was willing to do that. It would hurt, but Audrey would be able to convince herself that it was necessary.
"Not really." Fair?! This was far from fair. This was absolutely absurd, that was what this was! The smirk had disappeared from her face, but Charlotte still couldn't believe that this was something that Audrey was actually proposing. She knew better than to think it was a joke at this point, as more time allowed her to remind herself that Audrey probably was crazy enough to be capable of this, but even for her, this seemed low. It had nothing to do with Weston, a boy that Charlotte only knew on a surface level, but just the situation as a whole.
"Can I just add in that--" As if Weston wasn't feeling uncomfortable enough about the situation, knowing that he could do nothing other than accept it as the better option, at least for now, but on top of that, he now had to deal with the awkwardness of this girl freaking out over how horrible it was going to be to pretend to date him. He knew it was being dramatic to take it so personally, given that anyone in Charlotte's situation had a right to react that way, but it was an awkward position to be in, nonetheless.
Hudson cut Weston off almost immediately. As bad as it was, he was enjoying the show that Charlotte was putting on, even if his eyes had barely left Audrey for a second. He didn't need Weston interrupting them, because as he had said earlier, his opinion on the matter held no weight. "You don't get to add in anything, unless it's a compliment on how nice Charlotte looks." Weston answered that with silence, that was only intended to prove a point that what he was going to say had nothing to do with going along with this bizarre scenario that Hudson and Audrey were forcing on him and Charlotte. "Really? You're not gonna tell the lady that she looks good, Wes? Shit, you really should be thanking me for this. You clearly don't know how to treat a girl."
"That's not what I meant," Weston sighed, looking towards Charlotte apologetically, even though it appeared as if she was caught up enough in her own emotions, which mostly came across as being anger, on her face, to even acknowledge what was going on in the car. "You look great, Charlotte, but I really think that--"
"You think that this is the best option to keep you in the Beta house, and that I'm a wonderful Big for setting you up with a girl like Charlotte." That was enough to shut Weston up, and once the boy seemed to sink back into his seat, Hudson was able to turn his attention back to the girls, fighting back a smirk that so badly wanted to shine on his face. It wasn't his fault that he had a soft spot for some good drama.
"You can't do this, Audrey. Can't even you see how absolutely crazy this is? You can kick me out, I really don't give a fuck at this point." At this point, it would be a relief to be kicked out of the Alpha house, and right now, she thought she would be even happier to be kicked out of this car. Even if it was still moving. She'd take some scratches and bruises, even a broken bone or two, from jumping out of the moving limousine over having to deal with this absurdity.
"Should I text Naomi and tell her not to take Juliette with her, but instead to tell her to start packing?" It was an ultimatum, and because Audrey knew the answer that she would ultimately receive, she was able to give it with an innocent smile, as she pulled out her phone to signal that she wasn't bluffing.
"You're so fucked up."
"I need an answer, Charlotte. Should I text her and tell her that, or are you going to embrace your relationship with Weston?"

As Andre and Reid chat mindlessly, Maddox joins them, silent until they finish speaking. Andre smirks approvingly; Maddox has never given Beta any issues, acting like a proper Beta at all times and never giving the fraternity any issues. "Hey Maddox, have you met Reid James? He's one of our prominent Fulton alum, you might have seen him on NBC." Clearly Andre is not one for modesty, and knowing Reid James, he isn't either. He's a news anchor, and a Beta. The Beta alum extends his hand toward Maddox, but his attention is suddenly turned on the blonde frat boy entering the event. Cyrus.
Cyrus makes his appearance much earlier than he wanted to. He almost thought about not going, even going so far as to unlock his room at the Sigma house and take off his jacket, but he was pressured by the rest of the brothers and hustled into an Uber with some of his pledge brothers. Before he knew it, he's here, swarmed in a mob of Sigma brothers.
The first person he makes eye-contact with was his father, Reid. Luckily, Andre's father Bruno decided to show as well, and his big brother Blake's father, Alexander. While Andre followed the Beta legacy, being the son of a former president, both Cyrus and Blake had shirked a Beta legacy in hatred of their fathers and went Sigma. Cyrus is sure that Alexander is just as bitter as his own father. Still, he hadn't expected to see his father so early, and isn't keen on going to greet him. One of the Betas beside him is just more of a deterrant, but his favorite Beta is also nearby. He looks at Maddox for a quick moment, a barely visible wink towards the Beta before he sets off to find anyone else to hang out with.
"Cyrus!" He hears his father call him, and with a roll of his eye only visible to the brothers arriving with him, he makes his way over to the three Betas standing together. Getting this over early will be best. Cyrus ignores the glare he can practically feel coming from Andre, and extends his hand to his father. Cyrus may hate the man more than anyone else, but he knows how to be cordial in public, a skill set he'll need for foreign relations.
"Glad you could make it, I know you have such a busy schedule." Cyrus tries to keep his voice teasing, but it comes out cruel, and he can see his father's barely concealed cringe. He recovers with a quick, "Anything to see my son and my alma mater." With that, Cyrus leaves the Betas with a curt nod and quickly finds Ya Ya, the first person he spotted. She's by the bar, accompanied by quite a few people, including Maddox's little brother Archie. Cyrus let his hand slide sensually against Archie's back, just out of view of everyone but enough to rile up the Beta boy. He slides in next to Ya Ya, flashing his fake I.D., made by the DMV through a special source, and ordering a Tom Collins. With these upscale bars, Cyrus liked to use the terminology instead of explaining his order bit by bit.
He turns to the Alpha, pulling a forced smile she would understand as his public face: the face he keeps when there's more than one or two Betas in the room. "Hope you didn't miss me too much, Ya." Cyrus teases her, which is rare in their friendship. It goes to show how much he depends on his friends when his father is around. He takes a sip of his drink, searching for Ben over the rim of his glass. He assumed the Kappa would make it, and he's not sure how the whole "Ya Ya and Ben" situation is going currently.
He also sends a text to Maddox, just because he can, and wants to see him blush.

The kiss Yaya placed upon Ben's cheek, left a soft lingering feel. As she disappeared back into the crowd, his hand moved from his side to his cheek. He felt where her kiss lingered and was still unsure if the last few minutes happened or if he's grown delusional. Ben slowly moved towards the edge of the crowd where he thought he had seen the other boys from the house gathering. He was stopped occasionally by alumni who knew his name and of the work he'd been doing within the community. He shook hands and teased and joked in a friendly manner, as though these older men and women were old family friends who never lost touch.
Ben's eyes wandered beyond each of their heads, always looking for her. He wanted to keep his eye on her, not because he didn't trust her, but because he didn't trust the guys who hung around her. Ben knew what their intentions were. Guys only ever want one thing and that's a girl - how he gets her and what he does with her is a different story. When they first met, Ben knew what he wanted. He wanted her - and eventually he got her. His intentions with her were different though. They had a connection and Ben wanted more of that; most of the guys Ben's age nowadays want nothing more than a girl they can slid into and toss aside in the middle of the night. They don't care about learning names or how her body moves, as long as they get their fill.
To keep himself from going crazy, Ben excused himself from the weighted grip of these wealthy men who held onto more than just memories of when they attended this event. He pulled his phone from his pocket, no messages. He opened the text from Abby and typed a returning message to her.
He slid his phone back into his pocket, worked around the crowd of old geezers that he was tired of listening to moan about 'the golden years' they experienced when they were 'young lads of the frat house.' Ben rolled his eyes and moved his way to the bar. He was just under 21 but more often than not, bartenders thought he looked old enough to pass up on carding him. He stood by Danny, who was sipping on his own drink at the bar, and ordered one for himself. "I'll take a Maker's and Ginger, thanks." The trick, Ben thought, was to not give the bartender an opportunity to even ask for an ID. It didn't stop the bartender, "ID, please, sir." Ben forced a smile, his hand slid back into his back pocket and pulled out his wallet that his girlfriend had given to him when they first started dating. He slipped his fake ID out instead of his real ID and held it up for the bartender to see. The man nodded and Ben put away his fake and wallet. Ben looked at Danny as the kid sipped on his drink, "Who're you waiting on, kid?" When Ben got his drink, he turned himself around on the bar. Leaning back on his elbows, Ben held a drink in hand while he stared out at the people crowding around the once open space. Ben sipped slowly on his drink. From afar, he could see Yaya sitting with Archie - Ben wasn't a huge fan, but he knew that if he walked over there right now and tried to interrupt whatever they were talking about, Yaya would believe Ben didn't change at all and he would lose what little trust they had started over with. It made him sweat though - right now, they weren't exclusive yet so technically anyone was free game, and that scared Ben.

It made him sweat though - right now, they weren't exclusive yet so technically anyone was free game, and that scared Ben.

Eliza looked up from her computer screen. She blinked. The time didn't change. How could it be that time already? Eliza sighed and saved her work before spinning her chair away from her screen. She needed to stop doing that; getting so absorbed in her work that she lost her already fragile track of time. Eliza stood and stretched, a groan escaping her body as she arched her back. When she had told her mom about the formal, she had insisted that her daughter was getting a new dress. The whole thing still seemed a bit ridiculous to Eliza. A whole new dress for one night. She looked at the red number. It wasn't what she usually wore, in fact it couldn't be further away from her usual uniform if it tried, but her mom insisted that she looked amazing in it.
Eliza grabbed a quick shower. As she climbed out of the shower, she heard her phone buzz. She picked it up from her desk and saw Danny's name light up the screen. Her heart flipped. No, nooo, bad heart. We do not flip when we see Danny's name. Danny's just a guy, she told herself. Yeah, but he's a cute guy. "Snuffie, my subconscious is a traitor, don't ever get one," she said to the rubber duck on her desk. Eliza opened the text.
From:Danny
What time will you get to the party? Can't wait to see you! Missed you this weekend!
What time will you get to the party? Can't wait to see you! Missed you this weekend!
Her heart flipped again as she read the text. This was ridiculous. She dropped the phone onto her bed and began dressing. There was no point texting him right now, she'd just embarrass herself. She liked Danny, there was no denying that. She liked him a lot. But she wasn't one of those girls that could just walk up to a guy and ask where they stand. Eliza was something of a wallflower and she was happy like that, but sometimes, she envied Michaela and Amaris their sky-high confidence. This was one of those times.
When Eliza was sure that she was ready, besides her hair, she grabbed her phone from her bed and text Danny back.
To: Danny
I'm still getting ready. Me and my bad sense of timing. I'll let you know when I'm on my way.
I'm still getting ready. Me and my bad sense of timing. I'll let you know when I'm on my way.
That left her with one thing to figure out. How were they getting there? Sure, she could shout through the house for Amaris and ask her, or she could just text. Amaris would know, she always did. As the thought occurred to her, her phone buzzed again. Danny didn't usually respond that fast.
From:Amaris
How are you getting to the party? It'll be a tight fit, but are you still home? I can give a ride.

Eliza dropped her phone back on her bed and checked her face in the mirror. Acting on her mom's advice, she kept her make up light. 'Let the dress do the talking'. She had a pink tint on her lips and a soft brown shadow swept over her lids. Jesus being a girl was a nightmare sometimes. She swept her hair over her shoulder. Anything more would have been overkill. Eliza studied her reflection for a moment. She looked good. Really good. Smiling with a sense of confidence, as fragile as it was, Eliza skipped downstairs, her heels clicking on the steps as she did.
As she stepped outside, Eliza looked up to see her sisters waiting for her, with Nicholas who was by Amaris's side as usual. She took each of them in. Yuda in pink, Daisy in black and Amaris in a red number that Eliza would never be able to pull off even on her best days. "Sorry I kept you waiting. You guys look amazing. You too Nick."

Blake tapped the steering wheel. Why was there always traffic when he needed to be somewhere? If he was being honest, he'd rather be back home with Rose and Johnny than going to this formal. It wasn't that he didn't enjoy them, they were great if the company was good, but the company back home was better. Blake smiled at the thought of his siblings. Rose was doing great at school, to the point she was making the teachers look inept. Mom was talking about finally moving her to a school for gifted students. Blake had no idea where Rose got her brains from, but he was glad that she had them. Johnny, it turned out, was going to be the family sports star. He'd been accepted onto the school football team and had spent most of the weekend talking Blake's ear off about it, as ten year olds only could. Taking advantage of the stop-start traffic, Blake opened his phone menu and dictated a message to Cyrus.
To:Cyrus
I'm on my way. Traffic is a nightmare, how dare it? Has the apocalypse started without me?
I'm on my way. Traffic is a nightmare, how dare it? Has the apocalypse started without me?
As he finished speaking, the traffic opened up, Blake began to pick up speed as his sleek, black BMW rolled through the late evening. Sure, he might not like his dad, Blake thought as he changed gear, but he was quite happy to spend his money. Mom was the trophy wife, he was the trophy son. Surely the same rules applied? He dictated another message, this time to Amaris.
To:Amaris
You're going to this formal, right? I will be very disappointed if you aren't. There'll be pouty faces and everything

Nick's reaction to her compliment made her laugh a little, but she mostly kept it to herself as to not embarrass him. She raised her eyebrows as he opened her door for him. It was the kind of gesture that a girl never expected, but was still lovely to get. She beamed at him as she climbed into the car. She smoothed down her skirt, before pulling her phone out of her bag and reading the few texts that had come in.
"So, Amaris, as our President, any last minute words of wisdom? Warnings about not bringing dishonour on Theta?" She asked, barely even looking up from her phone, but still grinning. From what she'd heard from some of her friends, other sororities and fraternities got lectures about how they were to behave and who they were to associate with. Like they weren't all grown adults capable of making their own decisions and choices. Sure, their fraternities and sororities were important, but there was a limit to it.
She grinned at Eliza as she arrived. "Aw, Eliza, you look stunning!" She gushed. She wasn't even exaggerating. Honestly, everyone in her sorority was so pretty. She'd really gotten lucky like that.
To: Hayden
Of course I'm going to be there! And you look fabulous, I think I may need to offer my services as a bodyguard so you won't be crushed by the crowds of people that will undoubtedly fall in love with you tonight.

She put her phone back into her purse and looked up at everyone. I have all the feminine necessities you might need ladies, so don't be afraid to ask She said, sort of proud of herself that she had become kind of a reliable friend. Well, I am all ready to go.
She sat on the porch and watched as most of the girls were already leaving to the event. She complimented a few of them as they left but the others she just nodded her head of approval. Abigail's phone chimed and it was a text from Daisy, who stated that she was riding with Amaris and Nicholas. She didn't bother to text her back as her phone chimed again and she looked at it as it was Archie sending her a text. She read it and started to type a reply.
To: Archie :D
Okay. I'll be sure to do that.
She sent the text then looked up at Juliette and Naomi as they came outside just as an uber driver pulled up. Her phone chimed again as Yuda name scrolled across the screen. She went to type a message but looked up again as Naomi asked if her and Juliette were coming. Abigail nodded her head and muttered. "Yeah." Was all she said as she got up and started to type a reply to Yuda whenever she got into the uber.
To: Yuda
I'll try not to. See you there though!
Abigail eyed Juliette and Naomi as she smiled towards them. "You ladies look absolutely stunning." She complimented them as she looked down at her phone and saw Ben's name come across her screen. A soft smile came across her face and she started to type a reply towards him.
To: Ben ♥
Awe, you're so sweet. And yes, a drink would be nice. Everything okay?
I am almost there, riding in an uber with Juliette and Naomi.
She sent the message then turned her head to look out of the window as they drove towards the event. She was excited to get there to have a drink with Ben and to dance with him but she was mostly excited to see everyone and just mingle. Abigail let out a small groan as she eyed Juliette and Naomi again. "Are we there yet?" She sat back in her seat in a kind of impatient manner before she saw the building within the distance. It caused her face to gleam with a certain happiness as she let out a light squeal.

"Oooh, who are you texting?" Juliette grinned teasingly, when she noticed the smile that appeared on Abigail's face as she read a text. Juliette and Abby weren't best friends or anything, but given that they had rushed together, she definitely felt close to Abby. Really, though, Juliette felt that way about most of the Alphas. While some of them probably found her energetic tendencies, and flightiness to be overwhelming sometimes, there was no denying that Juliette really loved the Alpha house and all of its members. "She's in a hurry to get there because she's totally meeting up with someone. I can tell by that look on your face," Juliette giggled, looking from Naomi and then back to Abby as she spoke. "Who is he, Abby? You have to tell us, we're your sisters!" she pressed playfully, though she was genuinely curious about whoever it was that seemed to have Abby eager to get there. For all Juliette knew, it could have just been Ayala or another Alpha, but jumping to the conclusion that it was a boy, particularly a crush, was more entertaining. She loved drama, especially good and positive drama that wasn't going to end in the dissolution of friendships, so something like this wasn't out of character for Juliette to be intrigued over.

The glass of gin and tonic in her hand was nearly empty, and after finishing it off with one last sip, Eliana turned to the bar. This time, she ordered three shots of tequila, but set two of them to the side. "Have either of you heard from Mickey and Jazz?" she said, turning her attention to the Zetas beside her, just as Ayala came over to talk to Archie and Amy. "I'll give them five minutes to get here before I'm downing both of these two. Your girl is in the mood to get a little too wasted tonight," she said, playfully winking at the girls, but feeling all too inclined to go through with the proposition of her Little and Jazmyn didn't get there soon enough. As she returned her attention back to Archie, Eliana giggled aloud as she watched Ayala catch the bartender's attention with a subtly sultry display. She wasn't trying to be mean, but sometimes, these Alpha girls just made her laugh. She couldn't help but to find them amusing sometimes, and could you blame her? Like the Beta house, the girls belonging to Alpha Theta Pi seemed so sure of their appearances that they thought they were sirens who could lure any man into their trap with the swish of their hair, or a lick of their lips. It worked for Ayala, clearly, as the bartender gravitated towards her quickly, but still, it was amusing for Eli to watch. Rather than contribute to the conversation any further, especially now that it had grown by one more, with the addition of Cyrus, Eli took her shot, and raised her eyebrows in curiosity, as she listened.

"Audrey wanted to ride with Charlotte. She said she had to talk to her about some things," Naomi nodded in acknowledgement before shooting the young Alpha a reassuring smile.
"Don't worry about those two- we both know that you're Audrey's favourite."
At Abby's compliment, she grinned slyly. "Well, of course. We're alphas, remember?... And you look gorgeous, as per usual."
As they got into the uber, Naomi's phone went again, and once she was seated, she grabbed her phone to reply.
From; Yuda
In your dreams sweetie, see you at the party and ALWAYS check the drink if someone offers you one.
Geez, and now my paranoia-meter is going to be on high all night. Cheers, Yuda.
She smiled ruefully as she slipped the phone back into her purse, only now noting the conversation going on around her.
"She's in a hurry to get there because she's totally meeting up with someone. I can tell by that look on your face."
"Oh?" Naomi's brow rose slightly, and a spark of mischievous curiosity glimmered in her eyes.
"Who is he, Abby? You have to tell us, we're your sisters!"
Naomi nodded sagely at Juliette's statement.
"Yep. Alpha rules."
Naomi was all too aware of the irony of her demanding -even jokingly- that someone else release the details about their love life. Her own was the dictionary definition of "it's complicated", and she hadn't exactly been open to her sisters with any info. But this was different. Sort of. Not really.

Abigail eyes widened whenever Juliette had asked her who was she texting. She wasn't really going to tell her but then brought up that they were all sisters and that meant something in the Alpha household. A gulp came over her as she continuously eyed Juliette and Naomi even a nervous chuckle could be heard, as well. Abigail bit her bottom lip as she tried to beat around the bush instead of answering her questions. "Uhm, what?" She responded then started to shake her head and waved her hand. "It's no one, honestly." Abigail said as Naomi interjected into the conversation, too.
Abigail swallowed hard again as she let out a sigh with an eye roll. She knew that she wasn't going to get out of not telling them anything so she might as well just tell them now. "Okay. I'll tell you guys but it must be kept on the down low." She eyed them both and pointed a direct index finger at them. She then proceeded to talk. "Well, before Ben and Ya Ya got together, Ben liked me but I shot him down, obviously. So, now that him and Ya Ya are on a break, we've been talking how we were before. It's been amazing, honestly." She opened up to them about who she's been texting and smiling along the ride. "Promise me that you guys won't say anything. Especially to Ya Ya. What I am doing isn't wrong, is it? It's completely harmless." She asked but was honestly scared and nervous of their responses but she knew that they were going to tell her how it is and she wouldn't want it any other way. "Now, if we're done here, I'd like to go inside, please."

The conversation between Andre and Mr. James is not that interesting, but Maddox knows better than to interrupt someone like Reid James. God forbid! "Hey Maddox, have you met Reid James? He's one of our prominent Fulton alum, you might have seen him on NBC." Andre says as if the man were so modest. Shooting the man his signature fake smile, he nods. "Of course, nice to finally meet you sir, you're quite a legend here". The interest in his voice is so convincing he almost believes it himself. There's an attempt to shake hands but something across the room catches Reid's attention, or rather someone. There's no need to look, Maddox already knows who. "Cyrus!" Much to Maddox's surprise, the blonde actually makes an effort to speak to his father, though it's short-lived and packed with sarcasm.The look on the man's face after Cyrus leaves makes Maddox just the slightest bit uneasy. For the most part, because it's the exact same look his father used to give him daily. A mixture of shame and disappointment. As difficult as it is, the disgust never shows on Mad's face and the conversation resumes. Not wanting to be part of it for longer than necessary, Maddox excuses himself to mingle with other guests. He's only known this man for less than two minutes and he already dislikes him. It's no surprise Cyrus avoids him as much as he possibly can.
Speak of the devil, the golden iPhone in Maddox's hand turns on with said devil's name flashing across the screen. Almost knowing what to expect, the Beta swiftly reads through the message with an involuntary roll of the eyes but can't hide the nervous smirk.
[From Cy: that suit would look better on my floor.]
[To Cy: please behave, or I'll have to have a serious talk with my future father in law]
Maddox has referred to Cyrus' father as "my future father-in-law" once before and the response he got from the blondie was amusing to say the least. He seemed almost flustered, which meant that Mad would be using the phrase several more times if it meant getting the same response. As he scrolls through missed texts, Abby's name comes across the screen from earlier that morning. Realizing she, as well as some of the other Alphas aren't here yet, he decides to send her a quick complaint.
[To Abby: Where are you? If I don't get to skip out on this thing, neither do you]
Once sent, he picks up his step, headed straight to the bar where several people have already gathered. He flashes a quick wave and smile to anyone looking but is more determined to get a drink than to make conversation. Archie is clearly busy with some girl he most likely doesn't even know the name of and has somehow managed to get himself a nice drink. Mad can't help but feel a little bit proud of him, making a mental note to tell him later. Just a few seats away, Cyrus has somehow managed to get himself one as well, not that that's surprising. Pulling out his own ID, the Beta slides it across the counter to the bartender. "Black Russian please" he says simply, body purposely bumping against Cyrus as he leans forward but never looking his way. "Thank you" he adds once the drink is finished, giving the bartender the simplest of flirty smiles. "I may need a few more of these, it's going to be a long night..." he says, knowing that's true in more ways than one.

Cas had forgotten all about what tonight was, which wasn't like him, and so when Cyrus walked in, wondering what he was still doing there, Cas looked up at the fellow Sigma with a dazed expression before he glances at his watch and his eyes widen. "Ah, fuck." He exhales, jumping up off of his comfy spot on his bed. Quickly, and with little consideration to the fact that Cyrus was still stood in his doorway, Cas threw on the clothes he had planned for tonight without a second thought.
Plucking his phone up off of the side, Cas notices a few texts, so before he heads toward the door and Cyrus, he quickly sends a few responses back.
To: Mickey
How does some Hay-Z sound? Just got it today.
To: Ayala
Want the usual? I can get it to you tonight.
How does some Hay-Z sound? Just got it today.
To: Ayala
Want the usual? I can get it to you tonight.
Then turning his attention back to Cyrus, Cas sends him a small smile, "I completely spaced dude," His smile is intended to show Cas' gratitude for Cyrus reminding him - he had some rather important business tonight. "You got a ride ready or do you want me to get an uber?" However as Cas said that, a gaggle of Sigma brothers waltzed into his room, clearly having hit the pre drinks a little too hard.
With a roll of his eyes, Cas picks up his phone again, realising no one else was fit to order an uber for the group, and quickly sets up a ride for them. One Sigma brother - a new pledge, Cas realises - looks ready to pass out and with a panicked look on his face, Cas runs to the bin by his desk, grabs it and hands it to the guy, just in time for him to throw up what looked like most of breakfast, lunch and dinner, into it.
"I know we're the party house and all but," Cas pauses to look at the guy who was almost white from vomiting so much, "slow the fuck down next time, yeah?" Sure Sigma's liked to party, but they weren't complete morons. Besides, if you wipe out at pre drinks, you'll miss the fun of the actual party.
Before long, a notification pops up on Cas' phone to signify the uber is outside, and he glances at the pledge, still cradling the bucket, "As a penalty, you're staying here tonight mate." The small freshman groans, but Cas is unsure whether that's because he's upset he can't come, or because he thinks he's going to throw up again. Looking around the group of guys, Cas points to another freshman, "You," Pausing, he gives the guy a more sympathetic look, "Stay here and make sure he doesn't die - I don't wanna have to deal with that."
With his attention directed back at the brothers that were going to the party, a mischievous grin slowly crawls onto Cas' face, "Lets go guys." And with that, the large group is walking out of the house, finishing the last of their pre drinks. Cas pats down his pockets to make sure he has the supplies he needs with him (and by 'supplies' he means less than legal items) before they all bundle into the uber.

The Kappa smiled, as the car pulled up. He took out the money to pay the person, he just had a very interesting conversation about lizards, and how people should be more like them. It was amusing to say the least, because people normally were strange in these type of things, but not like that. He would wave, and see his phone vibrated, as he smirked.

lol just get here fast.... Ben ditched me for you know who.
Hayden would look towards the door, and open it. Immediately he was struck with the sight of Ben and Ayala. "Hmph, cute," the male thought with an honest opinion. They were good for each other, now if he could find his own Prince Charming, that would be great. He wouldn't respond to the texts as he spotted Daniel. He would tap on his shoulder and in a more feminine voice speak, "So, um you come here often?" An immediate laugh came from Hayden, as he would move near the bar. "I'd like a Bloody Mary, the more vodka the better," the male would show the bartender, his real I.D, and look towards Daniel. "So, any woman so far that caught your eye? Hayden asked, taking a sip of the Bloody Mary he just ordered. Awaiting an answer.
