Closure (BxB) [sequel to SAS] *ON HIATUS*

Chapter five:

---------------------------------

Brian's POV:

"Sorry, what's your name again?" the girl asked while checking her iPad.

"Brian Larson" I shook my head as I lost my patience.

"Oh! Larson! I thought you said Carson!" she giggled.

I pretended to chuckle as she handed me a plastic bracelet and opened the door for me.

This is ridiculous, I thought to myself as I stared at the green bracelet.

I looked around me, trying to find some familiar faces to talk to.

I failed to find anyone I know in the living room, but I did notice some had different colored bracelets. Why?

I decided to continue my way to the kitchen, which was smart because as soon as I entered the kitchen, I found Olivia by the drinks table.

"Hey," I said as I got closer to her.

She jumped a little and spilled some vodka on the floor but didn't seem to actually mind it.

"Brian!!!! Congratulations!!!!!!" she yelled as she turned around to hug me.

"thanks" I mumbled.

"what? What is it? Why you look so upset? We're here to celebrate!" she pushed me back.

"I'm fine, I'm just tired" I lied.

"Oh. Let's take you to Fred then" she grabbed my hand and started dragging me outside to the porch.

"Brian! Hey! Congrats!" Fred lifted his cup at me.

I raised mine too as the three of us cheered.

"why you look like this?" he asked.

"he's... 'tired'" Olivia air-quoted me.

"I actually am, you know. I woke up early for those tryouts, which were so damn hard, and I'm awake since 5 AM basically" I continued to lie.

Olivia just rolled her eyes as Fred nodded in understanding.

"Why do you guys have a red bracelet?" I suddenly asked them.

"ask her" Fred pretended to not knowing anything.

"oh, I just thought it'll be more interesting if people knew the relationship status of the other people at the party. You know, so people will know who they can hit up! Red is taken, yellow is complicated, green is single... I even made a rainbow one for LGBT people!" she chirped.
