"There! All done!" Liv said and she moved away so I could see myself. She had done my makeup amazingly. It was light but amazing. I was dressed in a black, baggy tshirt with some ripped shorts and then black boots, that Liv had found me, and some black and gold bracelets on my left arm.
Liv was wearing a tight black top with some ripped jeans and boots like mine.

"Let's go!" She squealed. I giggled and followed after her, through the compound. When we got to Zeke's, we knocked on the door loudly and he turned up quickly.

"You guys made it!" He said and we laughed.

"Of Course Zekey!" I said. He pulled Liv into a small hug and then she walked into his apartment. He smiled at me.

"Hey Zeke." I said and he picked me up and spun me around.

"Zeke! Put me down!" I shouted, laughing, and he eventually set me down and hugged me tight.

"In you go, there's drinks in the fridge." He said.

"Thank you babes." I said and walked into his kitchen. I walked in and saw Uriah, Four and Cassidy standing chatting.

"The party has arrived!" I shouted to them and they turned and laughed.

"Hey Cass." I said hugging her.

"Hey Bray." She said.

"Uriah. My man, how've you been bro?" I faked a manly voice.

"That's real funny Bray." He said and picked me up like Zeke had done and spun me around.

"Kidding on Uriah." I said and he laughed.

"Four! It's been so long!" I faked a drama.

"I know Brayden! It's been what? Two hours?" He said and put a hand over his heart in hurt.

"C'mere and give your favourite Brayden a hug." I smiled cheekily at him and he pulled me into a massive bear hug then let me go to get a drink.

"Why you guys not next door?" I asked, walking to the the fridge to get a beer or something.

"Just got caught talking," Cass said.
"C'mon lets go through." She said and grabbed my hand, pulling me along behind her. When I went into the room, I saw Matt, Liv, Jack, Zeke (obviously), Luke, Tay, Aaron, Lynn and Tess.

"Brayden!" Tess squealed and I laughed.

"Tess!" I said and hugged her.

"Wait how do you know each other?" Zeke asked suspiciously. I looked at Tess and she smirked.

"Well that would start with Brayden being in E-" she began but I clamped my hand over her mouth.

"We met at the tattoo parlour last week." I lied and he shrugged. I let Tess go and she smirked.

"Do not tell anybody about him and I." I growled at her.

"Sorry honey I'm a leader, I can tell whoever I want to." She smirked and I whined.

"Aw don't worry sweetie, I'm not going to tell anyone." She said and I hugged her tight.

"I love you. Thank you. I love you. Thank you." I said and she laughed.

"Calm down there Bray." She said teasingly and I rolled my eyes then sat down in the circle with everyone else.

"Sooooooo.... What we playing?" I asked no one in general.

"Truth or dare." Uriah suggested and most people nodded.

"Okay if you don't want to answer a truth or do a dare, then you have to take an item of clothing off. Socks and shoes don't count." He said and shivered. Guess I won't be avoiding anything tonight.
