Dahlia's POV
************

"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god! This is their house! This is their house! This is their house—"

"Dahlia, please. Calm down." Caden chuckled as he patted my head. I wasn't even bothered by the usually annoying action as I stared out of the car window, my eyes wide as the house got closer and closer. Today is Saturday. Kai's housewarming party. I'm super excited, and I don't even know why.

I guess it's just cause I like how things are going right now. Everyone's growing up and doing, like, adult shit and shit, and I'm happy for everyone getting their lives together and shit.

Plus, I can't wait to see Jessica again and tell her about all the Kpop music I've been listening to recently, and I can't wait to meet Ori because apparently, he's a science nerd and has all kinds of fancy science kits and shit which I can't wait to see.

"Okay guys, let's have a little chit chat before we go into this house," Cadence said as she unbuckled her seatbelt. Caden stopped the car after we pulled into their packed driveway and turned to look at her. "We're gonna be on our best behavior today, okay? We don't wanna freak Kai's new roommates out with our craziness. Dahlia, don't obsess over their silverware, and Caden don't eat all their damn food. Behave."

"Yes, mother." Caden rolled his eyes before opening his car door. "Let's hurry up and go in, I'm hungry!"

Cadence was about to say something to him but he was out of the car before she could. She just sighed and shook her head as she got out as well.

We all got the gifts we brought out of the trunk and then headed up to the front door. The house is honestly really nice, judging by the outside. It looks big and the yard is nice and clean looking. The grass is so green and it's cut nicely, there's a cute little bench swing on their porch, even their mailbox is adorable!

Okay, maybe I am being a bit crazy. Dial it down, Dahlia.

We waited for a few moments after knocking, and then Jessica opened the door and smiled widely at us, welcoming us in.

"You guys can put your gifts over in that corner," she pointed toward a far corner. "And thank you so much for bringing them! It really means a lot!"

"It's no problem," I grinned as I handed my baskets to Caden and let him and Cadence carry all the stuff over as I hung back to talk to Jessica. "I'm really excited for this party and it's not even mine." I chuckled. "Are you guys enjoying living here so far?"

"Yeah, it's really fun. This house is honestly a lot nicer than my parents' house. Not that it was bad or anything! Our house was a cute little cozy home, but I always wanted something bigger and this house definitely is. Four bedrooms." She grinned excitedly. "Four! I feel rich!"

We laughed as we walked into the somewhat crowded kitchen, greeting the people in there before we got back to our conversation. "Getting to live with my friends is really fun too. Kai and I haven't been friends for all that long, but she seems really cool. We've been spending a lot of time together and she's awesome..." She blushed a little and looked down and I took note of that. "Orb and I have been friends since we were younger and it's always been our dream to move in together. I'm happy we got to, too. I was really scared that since he's a senior we'd lose touch or something as soon as he graduates this year, but now we live together so I don't have to worry about that."
