Blair's place is not so far away and soon I'm standing in front of her building. I start making my way when a taxi stops in front of me, I see Izaac steps out of the taxi.
Izaac: "You're going to Blair's party too?"
"Yeah."
Izaac: "Blair must be desperate to shake things up if she went as far as inviting someone entertaining like you."
(What a rude asshole.)
Just when I was beginning to think he wasn't so bad but then he says something like this.
Izaac glances over at me with a smirk.
Izaac: "Don't tell me you're going in empty handed?"
"Huh?"
When I look over, I see that he's holding a present bag.
I look around and see all the other people entering the house have something in their hands too.
Earlier, I asked Blair's friends about the details of the party, I also asked about bringing a present.
'You don't have to bring anything.'
(How could I have been so naive?)
I can almost picture the looks I'm gonna get...
"It would be pretty bad if I go in without a present, right?"
Izaac: "This is more like a housewarming gift than a present. It's a house party, after all."
"Crap, you're right!"
Izaac: "Don't worry too much about it. She'll probably just make a snide remark or two, and that'll be that..."
I feel knots forming in my stomach at the prospect.
"Actually, I'll just go and get something real quick."
Izaac: "What? Right now?"
"Going in without a present would be like walking into a team"
Izaac: "I guess when you put it that way."
He gives a small chuckle.
There are only a few stores open at this hour. I can't seem to come up with something thing that Blair might like.
I glance over at Izaac's present bag.
"Is that wine?"
Izaac: "Yeah. I only bought it because I wanted to drink some of myself. I didn't go out of my way to pick something out for her."
"Oh."
The truth is, it's hard to imagine Izaac would go out of his way for anyone.
"Hmm, I don't know. I guess I'll just go and buy something."
Izaac: "If you don't know what she likes, why not ask someone who knows her well?"
"That's a good idea."
I bet Serena would know, so I take out my phone and call her.
Serena: "Hello?"
I can hear lots of voices in the background. Which means she's already at the party.
Serena: "Hey, [Y/N]], where are you? Aren't you coming?"
"I'm almost there."
I tell her what happened and ask for any suggestions on what to get for Blair.
Serena: "Well, the thing she wants the most is that necklace."
"Oh, I was thinking more like something I can actually afford."
