"So, you know," says Chelsea as I drive to the party.

"Of course I do. C'mon, you all made it so obvious!" I chuckle.

"So, you're not mad?"

"Maybe a little. But, you tried to protect me."

We get to the party. I park my car near the house, then slowly walk with my twin in.

"I'm going to grab a drink. Do you want something?"

"Nope. I'll be in the living room."

"Alright."

I start looking around for Ethan. I see him talking to Jake. I walk to him and hug him.

"Hey, Kat!"

"Hey, Eth. Hi Jake."

"Wow, you actually didn't pretend I'm not here." I roll my eyes.

"You're here alone?"

"No. Chelsea's in the kitchen and Meredith should arrive here any minute."

I see Grayson walking in the backyard. I need to talk to him.

"Catch ya later, loser!" I say, then leave the boys.

I follow Grayson outside. He's flirting with a girl. Well, nothing new.

I walk over to him and drag him out of there.

"You seemed like you had a good time with that blondie," I say laughing.

"Fuck you, Katherine." I roll my eyes.

"Have you found his Locker Code?"

"Not yet. It's harder than I thought. The kid knows how to hide things."

"I need the Code tomorrow."

"Why? It's Saturday. Nobody's at high school then."

"Exactly. I can search in peace. And in the boys' locker room."

"Katherine, you can wait until Monday to do this. I can search in the locker room."

"You'll forget to search for the code until then. We need a moment when he's not in his room."

"Well, that's kinda hard. When we're at home, he sits in his bedroom all day."

"What about now?"

"What?"

"Well, he's here, at the party. We can search for it."

"You're so desperate!"

"Are you going to help me?"

"Yes."

"Then shut up."

We walk back inside.

"I'll tell Chelsea that I'm leaving because I don't feel good. Wait for me at my car."

"You ain't my boss."

"Grayson, go!"

I find Chelsea and Meredith dancing. Good. They're both here.

"My head hurts a little. I'm going home."

"What happened?"

"I don't know. But, you stay here. See you later!"

I hug them, then leave as fast as I can the party.

"Where are you going?" shit.

"I've got a headache. I'm going home."

"Want me to drive you?"

"No, I'm fine. I promise."

"Alright. Text me when you are home."
