~Wow, he's cute, I think to myself.
"Um, you're hot, and that's called flirting," he laughs.~

I texted Ben that we were coming over while Jackie put her shoes on. I also texted Balth.

"Come on, last one to the taxi is a rotten egg," Jackie taunts, coming out of the bedroom. "What are you, five?" I say, though I chase after her. We patiently wait for the elevator trying not to laugh while another couple comes on. The bell dings and we race off onto the street. We both try to hail a cab, but Jackie prevails. "Haha," she teases as we get into a cab. "You're the worst," I say as I ruffle her hair. We tell the cabbie the address and sit in comfortable silence as we play checkers on our phones. As we arrive I say, "Round two," with a smile and push her back as I race up the stairs, not bothering with the elevator. As I reach their apartment Jackie trips me and races ahead. "You little shit!" I yell and start to crack up. She just shrugs at me while I slowly walk down the hallway, accepting my defeat. Hearing the commotion, Ben opens the door and just says, "What the hell is going on? Our neighbors are going to file a complaint!" I throw up my arm into an obscene gesture and walk inside. "Hello everybody!" I say while they say ,"Hey," in a bored-never-to-be-repeated-unison, not looking up from their phones. I plop down on the couch and sit in comfortable silence. "Ugh, you guys are boring," I sigh. "Do you always just ignore each other?" "Actually, we are texting each other about you," Meg states. "Seriously!" I exclaim in shock. "No, we aren't that mean!" Hero says. "Or at least I'm not," she says eyeing Bea. "Ugh, don't look at me," Bea replies in disgust, then looks at Claudio with a smile. "Boo you," Claudio says, not looking up from his phone. Jackie looks very confused, so I just grab her hand and say, "Who wants to play SpongeBob Game of Life?" Ben yells from the kitchen,"As long as I get to be Patrick!"
Balth's P.o.V.
"This was a mistake," I say, as I walk into a gay bar. "Is this a strip club?" Paige says with an incredulous look. "Hell yeah! Let's catch up," Chelsea laughs, trying to pull of her top. I just give Paige a look that's says, it's your turn, and walk away trying not to laugh from embarrassment. All I hear her say is, "Honey, no, that's not how it works." "Oh, why not?" Chelsea pouts. I try not die of laughter, until I walk right into a tall, skinny man, with a cute smile and dorky glasses. "Oh, s-sorry," I stutter, caught off guard by this mysterious man. "No that was me, I was distracted at all the food and drink choices." I give him a confused look and he explains, "I'm a vegan," I nod as he sticks out his hand and says, "Fred Boyet," "Stanley Balthazar Jones, but you can call be Balthazar." "Well Balthazar, would care to go to a vegan café, and get to know each other?" "As long as I can get away from all the glitter," I joke. As we walk out I hear my phone buzz, but for the first time, I don't even bother to look.
