Chapter 5: The Nightclub

It was a long and hard week of classes but it was finally Friday and that meant it was almost time for Ace and his friends to visit the nightclub Tess works at. They were all done with their classes for the day and were now preparing for their night out on the town for the first time. Since the boys had a bigger room due to it being able to room three people, they all decided to group up there so they can all head out together. Once they all grouped up they left the room and started making their way out of the dorm building. As they walked Ace noticed that Kat was on his phone and he appeared to be texting someone.

"Who are you texting?" he asked.

"Greyson, that guy from our algebra class remember?" Kat answered. "He just texted me that he's going to meet us at the bus stop."

"Good to know," his friend smiled.

Kat smiled at him then they eventually got to the bus stop that was near the student center and no one else was there besides Greyson. He was sitting down at the bench and he appeared to be playing a game on his phone.

"Hey Greyson," Kat greeted.

"Hm? Oh hey," Greyson said when he noticed them.

"Ready to head over to the nightclub?" he asked.

"Yea, kinda nervous since this is my first time going to one," the male said as he rubbed his neck. "It helps knowing that I'm not going alone."

"It's nice to have someone new join us when we go out occasionally," Ace said.

"You're cool with us as long as you don't do anything to piss us off," Kiki said, crossing her arms.

Greyson was slightly intimidated by that and nervously rubbed his neck a little.

"Leave him alone Kiki, you'll scare him away," Kat said.

The girl just rolled her eyes then after a few minutes the bus arrived and they all got on. Once they sat down the bus started moving and started making its way to town. The bus ride was about half an hour long and the town didn't look half bad. Since it was almost dark some places looked a little shady but most of it looked decent because of the street lights. The bus eventually arrived at a bus stop and the group got off then started walking.

"What's the club called again?" Coco asked.

"It's called 'Neon Lights,'" Ace said. "It shouldn't be too hard to find since Tess said it was the only building in town that had a sign with bright neon lights."

"Good to know," she said.

The group kept walking for a few minutes until they finally spotted the club at the end of the block. There was a man standing in front of the door and there were a few people standing in a line. They got in line and one by one the man let the people in and eventually it was their turn to be let in.

"Can I see some ID?" he asked.

They all got out their college ID's while Greyson got his actual ID and the bouncer let them in. The club was decorated in purple, blue, and green neon lights, the furniture looked pretty comfortable, the bar looked decent and had a large fish tank next to it, and there was a stage that only had a microphone.

"This actually doesn't look half bad," Kiki said.

"Yea this looks pretty cool," Josh added.

Ace looked around for Tess but didn't see her anywhere in the club and he was slightly confused. He walked around to try and find her while the others did their own thing but after not being able to find her he eventually decided to ask someone else that works there. The only person that obviously works there was the bartender so he went over to the bar to see the bartender cleaning a glass. His hair was black with two white streaks in it and he had a bit of a stubble.
