"mj, are you excited? this is your first college party!" i say energetically. she looks unimpressed.

"you know this isn't the first party i've been to, right?"

"you could've fooled me. now go get dressed! we have to leave soon." i push her into her room and shut the door behind her. i enjoyed going to parties now since i moved to new york, i wonder if they were like this in high school too?

a knock at my door tells me that peter has arrived. i thought it would be easier for him to come with mj and i then send him the address and let him figure it out on his own.

"come in! mj's getting changed." i lead him into the apartment and into the kitchen.

"mj, hurry up! we have to go." i call. she storms out of her room and pats down her clothes.

"jesus, lily. you know, not everyone can look good effortlessly like you can."

"you know, that's about the nicest thing you have said to me." mj stuck her tongue out at me.

"stop being a child, let's go." i slip on my shoes and open the door. i'm not sure exactly why i am so eager to leave for the party, but i go along with it.

we all take my car to the house it's being held at, which is your typical huge, rich kid house that most parties are held at. lee is standing outside the door looking very impatient.

"lee? why are you waiting out here?" i ask.

"cause i wasn't going to go in alone!" he looks over my shoulder to see peter behind me.

"is that him?" he lowers his voice to a whisper.

"yes, lee. lee this is peter, peter, lee." i introduce and step to the side so lee can get a better look. lee shifts his stance and looks peter up and down. once lee decides his first impression of peter, he extends his hand.

"lee huang." he introduces. peter shakes his hand.

"peter parker."

"michelle jones, now lets get inside." mj interjects. i'm shocked at how eager she was to get inside the house full of people, but i suspect she wanted to see one person.

the party was loud, as always, but didn't smell as weird as the last. maybe because the night was still young, or the owners of the house liked their candles. either way, it was a better atmosphere.

"lily!" miles shouts at me from across the room. mj's face lights up slightly at the sight of him. in a few seconds, miles is standing in front of us. i nudge mj to say something.

"hey miles, want to go grab some drinks." she asks, she seems nervous but hides it really well.

"sure. lily, you want one?" he asks.

"no, i'm good. i don't drink, remember." he nods and walks off with mj.

"you really not going to drink? again!" lee criticizes.
