KENNETH PHILLIPS ⋆✴︎˚｡⋆
           ⌞ real life ⌝

the house was booming from the inside out, the speakers as loud as they could possibly get, blasting what sounded like the shittiest music people could find.

that was the bad thing about parties, the music sucked.

kenneth pushed himself through the sweaty crowd of people, all dancing with one another, in order to get to the kitchen. everyone seemed to already be drunk.

when he got to the kitchen he grabbed the first beer he could find, cracking it open and taking a sip as he leant against the countertop. nolan approaching him from the living room.

"hey man, nice costume." he dapped up his friend, a small smile spreading across his face. "thanks bro, likewise..." nolan nodded, looking at kenneth's costume.

"wearing your football kit and covering yourself in blood... creative!" he said sarcastically with a laugh, earning an eye roll from kenneth. "okay okay! i'm not the one dressed as a disney prince!" kenneth laughed out.

"hey, there's nothing wrong with liking disney!" nolan defended, raising one of his hands in the air through defense.

kenneth and nolan got along pretty well, despite their very different personalities, kenneth was one of nolan's closest friends, one of his only friends, actually. and he knew that. he didn't mind though, nolan was one of his closest friends too.

as the two started talking more, brooke and gia walked into the party, heading straight towards the kitchen where they bumped into the boys.

"oh, hey guys." gia smiled, grabbing a can of coke from the fridge. "hey... nice costume." kenneth said with a smirk, looking her up and down, she was wearing a sexy ghost face costume, sure she was expecting some looks like that, but right off the bat? that's crazy.

gia rolled her eyes and flipped him off subtly, before walking off into the living room, probably trying to find someone who wasn't going to ogle her.

"really kenneth?" brooke rolled her eyes, before her attention got diverted to the trio who walked through the doorway and over to the others.

alana, william and holly.

alana walked straight over and stood by nolan, her older brother, who she loved very dearly. they'd always been very close, especially since they'd be the ones looking after each other, their mother being at work a lot and their dad just never being around.

"brookie!!" holly exclaimed as she hugged her, the girl hugging her back, the two began talking and catching up, since they hadn't really seen each other recently.

"is this everyone? like, the whole group were hanging out with?" alana asked, brooke shaking her head.

"we're still waiting on georgina and francis." she said as she looked over to the doorway, seeing the two walk in. "speak of the devils." holly laughed.

georgina and francis joined the circle, william going a little bit pink, though that was probably just the heat of the house.

"happy halloween!" francis beamed as he looked at everyone's costumes. "you all look so good!"

"thanks francis!" georgina smiled, she was wearing a pirate costume.

everyone got to talking, talking about random things, everyone laughing and arguing, though it was mostly harmless.

"okay okay okay!! i say we get drunk and then go trick or treating!" georgina exclaimed, having to shout over the loud noise of the party.

"i agree!" alana responded, warning a slight slap on the arm from nolan.

and with that, the group got to drinking, the girls shuffling into the living room to dance, if they were gonna get drunk, they were gonna have fun while doing it.

the boys just stayed behind in the kitchen, watching them and talking.

though kenneth's eyes lingered on brooke a bit more than they should've.

"staring at brooke are we?" francis smirked as he nudged kenneth, getting nothing more than a scoff in return.

"c'mon man, we can tell you like her." nolan added, a smirk on his face too.

"okay so she's kinda and funny and smart and pretty but that's all! she's nice to look at and nice to talk to! doesn't mean i like her!" he defended, a bit more desperately than he would've liked.

the three boys beside him just scoffing and rolling their eyes at him and his clear crush.
