TW- *UNDERAGE DRINKING*

School started in two days and Ellie was not excited at all. She was going into her junior year, all of her friends were. Except Lucas he got held back a year cause he's very, how do I say it.

Not smart.

But anyways, because it's the very end of summer, her friend is having a big party for most of the school to go to. Ellie's never really been to real party before so she was super excited, but also a little nervous.

The party started at 8 pm. It was currently 6 pm and Peyton and Mariah had just came over to el's get ready all together.

Mariah and Peyton had gone to a party earlier in the summer, but they still were very new to all of it, just like Ellie.

"I think you should wear that one blue dress that you got for Christmas el" Mariah says smiling at ellie.

"Yeah it really brings out your eyes, and it looks so fucking good on you" Peyton says agreeing with Mariah.

"Oh, I don't know" el says hesitantly. "I feel like that's too fancy for an end of summer party"

"El, you've never even been to a party so how would you know" Peyton says rolling her eyes playfully.

"And besides, we're wearing dresses like that too, so we can all sorta match" Mariah states.

"Okay, fine. But if no one else at the party is dressed fancy, then we're coming home and changing" el announced.

"Deal" Mariah and Peyton both said in unison.

The girls finished getting ready and went down to the kitchen to grab a quick snack, knowing there probably wouldn't be much food at the party. But instead alcohol.

The triplets and Lucas were picking them up tonight and they were all going together.

The triplets arrived and picked up the girls, and headed to the party.

They got to the party and Chris jumped out of the car and ran into the house. They all assumed he went straight to the alcohol.

They all eventually made it in, and sure enough, Chris was making some concoction of alcohol for himself.

The party was very crowded, and very loud. Music blasted from like 7 different rooms, and every step you took there would be at least 10 other people in front of you.

El was trying her best to take it all in so she could enjoy her night, but to be honest, it was a lot. Her ears already hurt from the blaring music, and the air had already began to get stuffy.

She felt like she needed a break already even though she got there literally 2 minutes ago.

"Hey el, we're gonna go find some other friends, just call if you need anything" nick yelled over the blasting music.

She just smiled as she watched nick and Mariah walk out of sight.

She looked back around hoping Peyton would still be with her, but no, Peyton had already left too.
