About 2 hours after I got home I feel a buzz in my pocket.

*1 new notification from Jackson*

"Hey cutie"

"Hi, Jackson."

"What's with the period, you don't seem very happy to receive my message 😕"

"My bad"

"Are you guys gonna come?"

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure"

"Okay! The party is gonna be at 1763 Conway Ave N. Be there around 9-10"

"Alright, see you there"

"See you there cutie 😘"

With that message, I turn off my phone. I walk to Max's room and tell him, "Jackson sent me the location, he says we should come around 9-10"

"Okay, sounds good," he replies with a smile

...

It's about 8:30 when I decide to get ready for the party. I hop in the shower, do my skincare routine, my hair routine, put on deodorant, and a matching scented cologne. I head over to my closet to pick out an outfit for the party. I grab a pair of cargo pants, a car graphic tee, and a red flannel. For jewelry, I wear my diamond studs and my "Steller" necklace. By the time I'm ready, it's about 9:20.

I knock on Max's door and it creaks open. I stand there taking in his features, "Wow."

Max, hearing me, turns around, "What?"

Seeing him this way he's even more impressive than in the mirror.

"Nothing, you just look good..." I reply

With his usual grin, he says, "You think so?"

Rolling my eyes I reply, "Yeah, who are you trying to impress? Should I be warning my family sister?"

"No need, I already ran it past her," he smiles

"Alright, are you ready to go?"

"Yeah, lemme just grab my keys... Actually, are you planning on drinking?"

"Yeah probably a little, you?"

"Yeah, I was... but if you wanna drink I'll be the DD"

"Nah, I wouldn't want you to miss out on the fun. We can just get an Uber there and back."

"Oh yeah, sounds good."

...

Arriving at the party I check the time, 9:45, and at that exact second, I get a text from Jackson.

"You here yet?"

"Yeah, we're right outside"

"Okay, I'll come to you."
