Luna gulped down the last bit of her orange juice and glanced up at her mom's face. Maria had been staring at her with wide eyes and a grin and mumbling non-stop about the date that she had with Jordan and how she just couldn't wait to hear her daughter gossip about it.
"I'm on the edge of my seat," Maria placed her chin in the palm of her hand. "Details, now."
"It's not that big of a deal," she waved her off. "Just a date with Jordan."
"Details," she repeated. "Now."
"I cooked him dinner, we ate outside in the backyard, and then we hung out in my art room," she explained. "We even kissed a little. But then stupid Asher barged in and ruined the moment."
"Hah!" Peter butted in from the other side of the room. "Good for Ash."
"I was supposed to be at the cafe like 10 minutes ago," Luna groaned. "I will see you two later."
The two parents spared the teen a look, watching her grab her car keys and walk away. Luna quickly made her way over to the cafe and walked inside spotting Spencer, Liv, Layla, Chris, and Jordan crowded around a table. It was odd to see Chris with them if she was being honest, sometimes she'd forget that he and Liv were dating.
Layla waved her over to the table which had obviously caught the attention of Jordan and everyone else there. She strode over to them, standing beside Jordan who greeted her with a kiss and earned a grimace from everyone.
"I think my dinner from last night is coming up," Liv gagged. "I can't believe you're publicly cheating on me, Luna!"
"I think you two are cute," Layla shrugged.
"Me too," Jordan slung his arm around Luna.
"Let's move on, yeah?" Luna suggested. "Thanks."
Chris took a glance at the table, raising his glass in the air. "I'd actually like to make a toast. To the Beverly Eagles. Congratulations on doing something me and my boys never could...Making it to the championship with my boy Spencer."
Jordan let out a breathy laugh. "Hey, that's fine, alright? Take Spence any day of the week."
"You know what?" Chris spoke once again. "Y'all should actually come through to my crib tomorrow night. My parents are out of town so I'm throwing a party. It could be one last celebration before we crush y'all dreams next week."
"A party?" JJ appeared out of nowhere with his phone in his hand. "I'm on it."
All their phones chimed in sync, notifying them of the party at Chris's house along with the directions to his place, all provided by JJ.
