"Where's everyone at?" Alexa asked when her work shift came around. She's been prepared to pour drinks and chat up the rich guys, only finding the bar rather bare.
"Low crowd." Delis shrugged in return, tossing the rag on the counter. "Why don't you head out? Go to prom like the rest of your class."
Alexa shook her head. "Need the money."
"No one's here, you'll still get paid by the hour." he said in return with a small smile. "Go have fun."
"I don't have a dress." Alexa sighed, honestly trying to get out of these as much as she could.
Delis pointed to the thrift store across the street. "My cousins owns it, tell 'em I sent you."
Alexa found his eye with a sigh. "You're killing me, Delis. Killing me."
Alexa did find a dress, a long one that drug at her ankles and was a little loose on her chest, and colored a maeve shade. Alexa wanted to call Robby and see if he wanted to come, but ended up deciding she wanted to go before deciding if she wanted to stay first. Yet, as she poured herself some of the punch, he seemed to beat her to it.
Alexa looked in pure disbelief when she saw Tory and Robby walk in, arms linked.
He didn't see her at first, clearly too focused on watching Sam and Miguel reaction. But when he finally did, oh boy, his face dropped fasted then her grades did at the beginning of junior year. Robby and Tory were going toward her immediately. "You said you weren't going."
"So, you show up together?" Alexa looked between the two with a judgmental look. "All to piss off Sam and Miguel?"
"Yeah, that's all." Tory reassured it, because she wasn't dumb, she knew that this annoyance had nothing to do with Sam or Miguel.
"Why'd you lie?" Robby asked her, Alexa's hand tightened on her drink. "Don't you throw that at me."
"I'm tempted to." she answered. "I didn't lie. My boss let me off early and told me to come."
"You could have called." he suggested with a weird look.
"You could have not shown up with my best friend." Alexa shot back.
"Guys, hey." Tory stopped the pair with a serious look. "I think I know a way to make both of you feel better."
Tory nodded forward, Robby and Alexa followed her gaze to fall on a shocking looking Sam and Miguel, who broke off the eye contact when they noticed the the trio looking over. Alexa sighed as she looked to Robby. "I was gonna call but I didn't know if I wanted to stay."
"You have to face this torture with us." Tory gave her a serious look. "We also have Sensei Silvers car."
