SHE GLIDED ALONG THE FLOOR, bottle of tequila in one hand, whiskey in the other and the happiest smile on her face. Jules skates threw Adam's kitchen, greeting the guests for the graduation party as the chat and bop to the music that booms throughout the house. She changes direction, going backwards threw the swinging door and into the living room where she finds Adam talking with Charlie and Guy, a beer in his hand and leant against the arm of his couch. 

"Hey there, pretty girl." He greets, smiling gently when she skates up to them, "Having fun?" Juliet nods, when Averman comes up, holding a camera to take a picture of them. 

"Come on, we need a photo." Jules chuckles, pulling the boys around her. Adam rolls his eyes, one arm around her shoulders as they all lean in for Averman to snap the shot. Juliet looks up at her boyfriend in the last moment, went the flash swoops over the living room for a moment, breaking the dim lighting, "Oh, this is so pretty." She takes the developing Polaroid from Les, shaking it to dry it off and showing it to her friends. 

They smile, "I'm framing this." Adam plucks it out her hand, "Be back in a minute. Gonna put this where it can't be destroyed." He looks at the picture again as he wades threw the drunk dancing teenagers. 

Around midnight is when the guests start to leave when Adam, Charlie, Guy and Fulton are stood out the front playing a game of beer-pong. Jules is dancing with Connie in the entrance hall, the DJ set up beside the staircase that is curved because the Banks' are rich and need a curved staircase. Adam can see her dancing with Connie, both girls obviously drunk but seeming to have the best times of their lives as they dance to Nirvana and Led Zeppelin.

"So, are you going to pop the question any time soon?" Charlie asked, bouncing the pingpong ball on the white table, closing one eye to try and name it. Adam frowns, "Come on, you two are living together, its so obvious you want to marry her and Luca gave his blessing three years ago."

Adam bit on his bottom lip, sipping his beer, "Yeah, but... he was dying and I just don't think we're at that place yet. You know? Maybe after college, when we're a bit older and can actually legally drink." The guys chuckle, when Adam bounces the ball on the table, getting it in a cup so Guy and Charlie have to drink, "She's so happy right now, and what if I push her away with the question?"

"You won't, man." Fulton pats his shoulder, watching Guy take the ping-pong ball out the beer after chugging one, "Jules is better now, she's not going to run away because you asked her to marry you."
