Tessa didn't want to go to the party. But at request of their choral director, the Muses of the Olympic School of the Arts were invited to the New York City Glee palooza, or whatever. Tessa didn't care much for these whole gatherings of other glee clubs in the city for two reasons: one, her school was on Long Island, not even in New York City so why did they count, and two, she wanted to avoid contact with one team in particular for the rest of her life.
Tessa suppressed a groan. The Oracles of the Apollo Academy were an exceptional team, making them their rivals, but it was their captain that drove her nuts. Kaden Gray, the insufferable leader of the Oracles, always found a way to get on Tessa's last nerve. And it didn't help that he was hot as hell, either.
"Oh, come on, Tessa, lighten up!" Tessa's best friend, Dale, said. The bronze-skinned girl hadn't dressed up much for the party, but still managed to look nice. Tessa guessed it was to impress one of the Oracles, a sweet blond boy named Reese, but she shrugged.
"No, thanks, I'm good." Tessa flashed a sarcastic grin. She ran a hand through her long dark hair, probably adding more waves to the ones that already existed in the locks. Unlike her best friend, Tessa had at least dressed up: a black top, floral skirt, and flats.
Tessa and her team made their way down the streets of New York, trying to find the location of the party. They heard it before they saw it, and soon enough, they stood in front of a small park, pounding with music and filled with people. Banners of various schools and groups hung around the park, and Tessa was able to spot the omega of OSA.
"We should—" Tessa started, turning around to address her team, but they were all gone. She huffed a strand of hair out of her face in frustration. "So much for coming as a team." She grumbled.
"Can't even keep your team together at a party, Brennan? I wonder how you'll manage them at sectionals next weekend." A voice drawled from behind her, one that send warning flags flying all around her and a skip in her heart.
Tessa turned around slowly, folding her arms. Kaden Gray stood before her, his signature smirk on his lips. He too had dressed sharply for the event, which made Tessa hate him even more, but the button up and slacks didn't do too bad of a job on his broad figure. He held a cup in his hand, and his green eyes shimmered calculatingly in the evening light.
Tessa narrowed her sea green eyes. "I don't see your posse," She made a big show of looking behind him for the entourage that normally followed him. "So I wouldn't talk if I were you, captain." She added sarcastically, trying to flounce past him.
"Woah, woah, hold it." Kaden called, reaching out to grab her arm as she passed. His touch sent a shiver up Tessa's spine, but she forced herself to meet his gaze forcefully.
"You have five seconds to let go of me. Five, four, three, two—" Tessa rambled, but thankfully, the green eyed boy let go of her.
Kaden chuckled. "Would've thought you'd be nicer to me tonight of all nights, Tessa," he said, his smirk still on his lips. "Or are you always this bitter?"
