Friday morning came quicker than I had expected. The party was that night and I had no idea what to wear. It also happened that I had no shifts today. So I walked into Sam's room.

"Sam!" I called out. She groaned as she turned over in bed. Noticing she wasn't going to get up I jumped on her bed. "Sam, I need your wisdom." I said dramatically. She rolled her eyes before looking at me fully. "Why the hell are you waking up early?" She asked roughly. I quickly put my hands up in surrender. "Okay, first of all its not early. Second, there's a party tonight and I don't know what to wear." I explained. Sam glanced at me before sighing.

"How about you go to class and I'll worry about your outfit?" She suggested. I thought about it for a moment and grinned. "Okay deal. I'm leaving in half an hour. I'll be back by 4." I stated. Sam shot me a cocky smirk as she got up. "That's plenty of time to make your outfit hot. No dresses or skirts right?" She asked. I smirked and stood. "Of course. Who would I be without my classic ripped jeans." I retorted.

A few hours later

I walked back into the apartment only to be greeted by an excited Sam and a kind of excited Matt.

"What are you doing here?" I questioned as I looked at him. He laughed as plopped down on the couch. "Easy Alex. Sam invited me here. Something about making you look good and the fact that I'm amazing at fashion." He said cockily. I scoffed but couldn't hide my smile. "Well what did you two decide on?" I asked.

"Glad you asked. We settled on three outfits. You're gonna try them on." Sam told me. I looked at the outfits and let out a tired breath. "This is gonna be a long few hours." I muttered.

Today was already tiring. After filming in the morning for a few hours. Me and Roni had two phone meetings! We only had a two hours till the party. Roni was in the shower as I looked through my closet trying to find the right outfit.  Eventually after twenty minutes I decided on one. A simple pair of jeans with a sweater and a jacket. It was cute but simple.

  "That looks cute." Roni said as she popped her head in my room. I grinned proud of my outfit. "Thanks. You done with your shower?" I asked. She nodded before disappearing back into the bathroom.

  I took a quick shower and then began on my makeup hoping that tonight would be fun.

  It took way too long to try different outfit. I eventually ended up with something good. Converse, black jeans and a striped button up. After fixing my hair and making sure it everything looked good I walked back to them.

"Damn Alex. You clean up nice." Matt quickly said. I chuckled as a blush came to my cheeks. "Hey I'm into girls." I teased him. Matt laughed as Sam grinned proud of our work. "Well if you wore that to work I'm sure more girls would ask you out." Matt teased back. I smirked as I thought about the party now. "Don't get any funny ideas Alex. I'm home tonight and I do not want to hear you and some chick going at it." Sam warned. "I won't bring anyone home tonight. I'm just there to chill and maybe drink." I told her honestly. "Well I'm not giving a ride home if your dumbass gets drunk." Matt said with a huff. "Gee thanks Matt. Always nice to have a friend." I said sarcastically. He winked and I rolled my eyes.

"Okay well I'm leaving. I'll be back later. Have fun you two." I said as I walked out the front door. The trip to the party wasn't long as I got an Uber. The house and neighborhood was pretty nice as I walked up to the door. Taking a deep breath I knocked.

"Alex! You made it. Thought you were gonna bail." Bobby said as he pulled me in. I shook my head at his words. "I wouldn't bail on you buddy. Besides who else would laugh at your unfunny jokes?" I grinned as he pretended to be hurt. "Ouch, your words wound me, Alex." I chuckled before looking around the place.

"Nice place right? Well the kitchens to the left. Tons of drinks. Both alcoholic and non alcoholic. Bathrooms in the back. Just take a right and then when you see that big painting take a left and there they are. Stairs lead the rooms in case you meet a 'special' friend. And I thinks that's all!" Bobby finished off his little speech. I chuckled before glancing toward the kitchen. Something told me I should go there.

"Thanks Bobby. I'm gonna head to the kitchen." He nodded before walking off. As I walked in there it was actually empty. I saw a cooler and figured that's where the drinks were. I bent over and opened it to find plenty of nice drinks. But before I could grab one for myself I heard a familiar voice.

"Uh excuse me, what drinks are in there?" I turned and looked up only for my eyes to widen. "Oh my god."

  Sorry to leave y'all on a cliffhanger but who do you think Alex saw? Also happy late birthday to the twins!!! I'm so happy I got into them last year.
