of course alex knew karl would be at the party, but he didn't want to tell soleil that. she seemed very excited to go, and he didn't want to kill her mood.

"so who invited you?" he asked, watching his friend over facetime finish up her makeup.

she wore a grin as she replied, "nathan. which is kind of alarming seeing as he did come to my front door to like.. invite me, but i think it'll be cool. he said it was going to be a chill party."

alex nodded understandingly, "cool, sounds like it's gonna be fun. are you driving there or?"

"nathans taking me."

"are you going to drink?"

"what's with all the questions?" sol chuckled, picking up her phone, clearly done with her makeup as she left the bathroom, turning off the light behind her.

he let out a small sigh, followed by a laugh, "i'm just asking!"

"okay well, i'm going to go now," she said, grabbing a sweater and throwing it over her shoulder. "i'll text you later alex, love you, bye!"

"alright, text me if you need anything! love you, bye!" with that his friend hung up, and he couldn't help but worry how the night would unfold.

alex knew he should tell soleil everything he knew, but what difference would it make?

( for now, big q is on probation bye 🙏🏼 )

meanwhile, karl had just arrived at corinna's house. luggage in hands, and when dropping them into her guest bedroom, she was practically dragging him out, encouraging him to go to the party.

he shrugged with a small giggle, "sure, why not."

TW : mention of alcohol and drinking [anything you'd find at a party]

please read with caution :)

!!!!!

nathan and soleil had arrived, and the party was far from ' chill '. there was music blaring, you could hear it from outside.

the stench of alcohol was overwhelming, and the amount of people crowding around one another sent an anxious feeling to her stomach.

he had glanced over at soleil, sending her an apologetic half smile. "i'm so sorry," she read off his lips.

sol wasn't one to stay and enjoy how chaotic parties can be, but she took a deep breath, and decided she'd stay. despite what her stomach was feeling, she was determined to challenge her boundaries.

"it's okay," she responded with a smile.

within a few minutes the two were over in the kitchen, nathan had served her a drink. when handing it over to her, she brought it closer to her nose, taking a sniff of it. she scrunched her nose, the strong smell bothered her. this is going to be hard.
