Friday night.

The girls were all ready and dressed nicely for dinner.

Harper had a nice black dress on, Scarlett had dressy shorts and Riley had skinny jeans with wedges and a nice dressy shirt.

They were meeting the guys and waiting in the car park just down the road from the restaurant.

"Its seven...why arent they here?" Scarlett sighed, as she checked her phone.

No Notifications.

"They will, chill" Harper sighed. "Mm, I'm starving." Riley pouted as she sat down on the small wall at the side walk, separating the car park and road. She was quite proud at the fact she was starting eat properly around others.

A car then drove along the street before it stopped in front of the girls.

It was the guys, but in a larger car.  A much larger jeep. It wasnt Austin's.

"Um hey..." Harper spoke up, as the three girls walked to the car. "Uh hi..." Austin then chuckled. "Who's car?" Scarlett pointed. "My parents" Drew held his hand up from the back. "We planning on having a party? There's room for like ten" Harper joked, giggling.

"Uhh...yeah, change of plans" Austin smiled. "Change of plans?" Harper repeated. "We're going to a party..." Austin grinned, but his tone was cautious. "Yippee..." Nate frowned from the front. "Very funny" Scarlett laughed before she stared at the guys.

"Your kidding right?" She asked. "I thought you didnt want to go to that party?" She asked. "I dont! He does." Nate told them. "Oh Austin!" Harper huffed, folding her arms. "Just a couple of hours." Austin nodded.

"No. It's bullshit! Your not going to get on they're good side, by attending a party" Harper told him. "Yeah besides it was Riley that was properly invited" Drew reminded them, but was soon punched in the arm by not a very happy Levi.

"I'm not going, dont worry. No way, not my scene" Riley held her hands up.

"Couple hours tops! I'm driving, we're not drinking...please?" Austin asked. The girls sighed, as they looked each other. "We can do dinner tomorrow!" Austin grinned. "We cant. I'm busy tomorrow" Riley nodded as she opened the back door.

"Couple hours then we leave!" She told them as she got in beside Drew and Levi.

Drew chuckled, as he climbed through to the back to let the girls in.

"Ass!" Harper hissed, as she slapped Austin softly around the back of his neck. "I got dressed nice. Not party nice" She closed the door, and huffed. "You look beautiful" He looked in the mirror.

"Dont butter me up. Hurry up and drive Corini before I change my mind" She smirked.

Music bounced around the large open house of the party owner. They still didnt know who exactly the host was.

"This is shit." Levi sighed, folding his arms. His curls were all messy, cute messy. He had a dark blue shirt on white light blue specks and ripped up jeans. His long necklace, and rings. "I agree" Riley told him as she smiled.

Levi turned to her, a smile forming on his lips.

"We could ditch..." She then shrugged looking away. "I'm tempted" Levi nodded. "How about we have one drink. A sensible one, and then see how we feel. If not, we'll leave it?" Riley grinned. "What would you like?" Levi chuckled.

"Anything with ice. Please." Riley nodded. Levi smiled, as he stood up and walked off with Drew.

Riley had been sitting a couple minutes, swiping through her phone. She sighed, as she looked up. Still no sign of Levi or Drew. Looking towards the kitchen area, she then saw them standing. Their backs were to the living room and they were talking to three girls.

All three, looking very pretty. Drew seemed into it, he was chatting away and laughing before Riley saw one of the girls giggling and put her hand up onto Levi's shoulder.

Sighing, she turned away and shook her head. She was mad to ever think Levi liked her.

Standing up, she walked away into the large lounge room before sitting down on a two seat sofa. If it was two, it would be less than likely anyone would sit with her. She wanted to go home, she wasnt a party scene girl and she didnt like being in these type of situations. Never mind alone, now.

Riley sat, going through her phone for what it seemed like forever. It was around half an hour or just over. No sign of the girls, nor the guys. She wanted to go now, but she didnt want to get up and hunt around the house full of people she didnt know just to find them.

Going through her friends instagram, she smiled. She did miss Ashlee and Bella. They'd be in Ashlee's room, rocking out to music. Eating pizza and prank calling Benny and Andy, even though they knew it was the girls but still went along with it. Ashlee was into the heavier rock bands, and her room was black and white. The white being maybe a splash of it on a poster.

A small glass with clear liquid was put in front of her, as she looked up.

"Looks like you could use this." A guy then told her. She then stared at him, trying to figure out his now familiar face. It was Oscar. The second Oscar, that was staring at her at the mall while the first Oscar was talking.

"Um...what is it?" She took it from him. "A drink." He chuckled, sitting beside her. "Can I?" He asked, but Riley just shrugged as she turned and sat the glass down on the stand next to her. She locked her phone, and looked up. Oscar was sitting smiling at her.

Okay, he was kinda cute.

He still had the stubble around his mouth, but he didnt have a snapback on. His hair was slicked back a little on the top of his head. He held a beer bottle in his hand.

"So, you came. Having fun?" He asked, obviously knowing she wasnt really. "Uhh, well..." She made a face. Oscar chuckled as he shook his head. "Are you here alone?" He then asked. "No. I was here, with my friends but...looks like be right back is the new forty minute period to disappear." Riley mocked.

Oscar laughed, before sipping some beer.

"How you liking California?" He asked her. Riley shrugged. "Its not bad. Its a big adjustment" She nodded, with slight wide eyes before sighing. "Your from...where again?" He asked her. "Wisconsin." She nodded. "Ahh, right." Oscar nodded.

"Yeah, it was such a small town. It was twenty minutes to the store for milk, and a full hours drive into a town for a proper store" Riley smiled. "Wow. That is...small" Oscar nodded, quite shocked. "This must be a huge difference" He told her, before sipping more beer.

"Yeah, exactly. I miss my friends." She then admitted aloud. "I could imagine it" Oscar nodded. "Just friends you left behind?" He then smiled cutely. Riley looked at him, and couldnt help but blush a little as she laughed quietly.

"Yeah, just friends." She then cleared her throat. "Hm" He nodded, rolling his lips together.
