The next morning at school, the group was buzzing with excitement about the party at Minu's house that night.

The halls were filled with chatter and every chance they got, someone brought up the upcoming celebration.

"Tonight's going to be amazing!" Dom beamed, slinging his arm around Jay's shoulder "Your house is literally the best place for a party, backyard is huge and the vibe is always perfect".

"As long as we don't burn the food like last time" Yuna joked, nudging Shelly playfully.

The memory of their failed barbecue attempt made them both chuckle.

"Hey, that wasn't my fault!" Dom defended himself "Vinny distracted me while I was flipping the patties".

"Sure, sure~" Yuna teased "This time, let's just make sure we don't turn the steak into charcoal".

After school, Yuna planned to go to the hospital to pick up Minu, Dom and Jay immediately offered to come along to help.

"Three people to pick up one guy?" Minu teased through the Video Call, eyebrow arched "What, do you think I need a security or just super fragile?".

"No~ but you do need an entourage to carry you out like a dramatic prince" Dom grinned mischievously.

Jay teased, eyebrows raised "We could even throw flower petals while carrying you, imagine the grand exit!".

Minu rolled his eyes but couldn't help chuckling "Yeah, yeah. Just get here soon, I'm ready to leave".

Meanwhile, Shelly and Mia had another important task - buying ingredients for the party.

After the final school bell rang, they made their way to the grocery store, scanning the aisles for supplies. The aisles were crowded with shoppers, making it difficult to maneuver through them.

"Alright~" Mia said, holding up a shopping list "Big-juicy cuts of meat, fresh fruit piled high and plenty of cold drinks".

Shelly picked up a juicy watermelon and placed it in the cart "That's a start".

As they reached the beverage section, Mia suddenly paused, her eyes gleaming as she pointed at a pack of beer cans "Should we buy beer for the boys? I bet Dom and Vinny would love it".

Shelly chuckled, shaking her head "Probably not, Mia. Let's just drink soda, we don't need anyone getting too wild tonight".

Mia sighed dramatically but agreed.

Once they finished shopping, they stepped outside and Mia glanced at the food receipt "Have we bought enough yet?" She asked.

"I think we've got everything. Let's hurry back, I've got a feeling it's going to rain soon" Shelly said, eyeing the dark clouds creeping across the sky.

Mia looked up as the sun disappeared behind the incoming storm, she said to Shelly "Then let's run home fast!!".

By the time they reached Minu's house, the sky had fully darkened.

As they stepped through the front door, drenched from the light drizzle that had started, they found the others already there.

"Jeez, I thought you two got caught in the rain" June said with a sigh of relief "What took you guys so long?".

Mia handed the food bag to Yuna "Sorry, the store was way more crowded than we expected".

"And we had to wait ages just to get the bill" Shelly added as she took off her coat.

"Lucky you both made it in time" Dom muttered, staring out the window. Raindrops pattered against the glass "Looks like we can't barbecue outside anymore".
