"Oh my god I want this house." Allie and Layla walked into the backyard of Asher's new house where music was blasting from the DJ, people were half naked swimming in the pools and overall having lots of fun.

Allie looked down at her two hundred dollar pastel yellow sundress, then back at the water. She was definitely not going into the pool.

"Agreed." Layla breathed. This was Allie and Layla's first time going over to Asher's house, since most of the time he went over theirs to hang out. "He needs to throw parties more often."

"Look, there's Olivia, let's go say hi." Allie raised an eyebrow at Layla. It's like Layla knew Olivia was going to go to the party. Which is odd, because Olivia never goes to parties anymore.

Allie picked up two cups of lemonade on their way and smelled it just to make sure there was no alcohol in it. She didn't want Olivia going to rehab again.

"Virgin Lemonade?" Allie offered Olivia the clear cup. "I love your top, by the way."

"Thank you." Olivia smiled and took the cup, yet didn't drink out of it.

"You two look good together." Layla not-so-subtly made a gesture in the direction of Spencer, who was mingling with a bunch of the boys from the team.

Olivia and Spencer? Allie's eyes widened. Was Layla seriously trying to set Olivia and Spencer up to make Allie stop shipping her and Spencer together? Because if she was...it was kinda working.

"We're not together, Layla. You know this." Olivia rolled her eyes at Layla and made a look pleasing for Allie to help her.

"Um, maybe if he knew you liked him." Layla shrugged. There were two things Layla was either doing. One was she actually had feelings for Spencer and was trying to wean him off to Olivia so she could get rid of her feelings, or Two was she was trying to play matchmaker with Olivia and Spencer just for Allie's sake.

"I'm the matchmaker, stop trying to take my business." Allie jokingly said to Layla. "Plus, you're obviously making Olivia uncomfortable."

Olivia nodded in agreement and Layla just sighed. "Sorry, sorry. I just want you to be happy."

Well, it was Allie's cue to get out of there before things got terribly awkward. So, she spotted Emma, a fellow friend on Student Council and started talking about Homecoming plans with her, while checking out how hot her boyfriend looked up on the balcony by the DJ stand.

Because it was inhumanly possible how hot he looked.

—————

JJ literally had nothing on except a pair of boxers. Allie was almost one hundred percent sure that he was playing the game of Poker just to show off his abs and bulge in his lower region.

She sat in Asher's lap while cuddling him. She might have have a few drinks, or four and the alcohol was really hitting her hard. All she wanted to do was go up to Asher's bedroom and be very naughty.

"Babe." Allie ran her fingers along Asher's neckline and smiled. With a slurred tone she whispered in his ear. "I want you."

No one paid much attention to them because they were more interested in what people were trading in this game. And most of the girls were staring at JJ's package below the table.

"Yeah?" Asher raised an eyebrow and chuckled. He loved the way Allie got when she was drunk, but he would never act on it. He hadn't been drinking for some odd reason so he was completely sober with his thoughts.

Allie hummed in response. She threw out a dare chip into the pile, just for the hell of it. If someone used it, it would be fun to see what the other person was supposed to do. "I want you. Upstairs. Clothing optional." She cooed in his ear.

Asher kissed Allie softly on her cheek. "Not right now." He wanted to make her happy, but in actuality he was telling her no. He was a teenage boy and the stereotypes could be true in some aspects of himself, but he cherished consent. Especially after Olivia's party last year.

Allie opened her mouth to argue, but Spencer and Olivia lurking by the doorway had been brought to Asher's attention. "Spencer, jump in, man."

"Nah, I'm good, man."

Everyone sitting at the poker table; including Layla and Allie chorused the words "Come on."

"Come on. The only person at the party who doesn't want a seat at the table?" Asher smirked and gestured to the dozens of people on the crowd who were hoping they could get a spot at the sacred poker table.

Spencer chuckled. "I'm just trying to keep my clothes on, all right?"

His comment made the crowd chuckle, but Allie turned her attention back to a half-naked JJ. It's surprising how every party, JJ managed to take off his clothes. Including Allie's 16th birthday party. He came dressed up as a stripper even though it wasn't a costume party.

"Just bet money. I saw you holding on to all that cash today. Or is that, like, an emergency fund?"

The crowd let out a collective gasp at the same time, all ready to see what Spencer was to do next.

Instinctively Spencer took a seat at the table beside JJ—because if he didn't it would show that words bruised his ego. Typical teenage boy.

"All right. Deal me in." Spencer told JJ, where the blond nodded in agreement. "What are you playing with?"

Spencer pulled out a stack of twenty dollar bills that was as thick as half of an algebra book. Allie raised her eyebrows. She did not think that kids from Crenshaw just had that kind of money laying around.

"Is this enough?"

Asher grinned as Allie drank from a shot that Layla slid down the table. Bitter.

"That's enough."

At least fifteen minutes had passed in this game of Poker until something interesting happened. Allie somehow won Spencer's dare chip, even though as drunk as she was, she had no clue how to play Poker. Though, that meant that Spencer had to do whatever she said. Fun right!

Allie looked at Spencer, then back at Olivia, then over to Layla. Well, since Layla claims that she had not feelings towards Spencer, Allie could definitely set him up with Olivia.

Allie giggled. Everyone knew this girl was a lightweight. "Spencer, I dare you to go skinny dipping in the jacuzzi."

"Easy. For how long?" Spencer smirked.

"Well, that part's on you. Oh, and also you have to go with Olivia Baker. Almost forgot that part."

Spencer literally froze and Allie could physically feel Olivia's eyes burning a giant hole into her head. But she didn't care. Playing matchmaker was one of her favorite activities after shopping.

"Have fun. But not too much fun, if you know what I mean."
