Addison's point of view
I open the door and I see 4 people here instead of two. Huh, weird. "Hey!" I say and they all wave back.

"Ok so on our way here we met these 2 really cool girls! This is Charli, and this is Avani" Mads said to me, "I hope you don't mind." "Of course not! It's nice to meet you both!" I say, and Charli and Avani wave back at me.

They seem so nice. "Well what are we waiting for? Come inside girls!" I say as I let them in the door.

I think about Kio's girlfriend, Olivia, as I ask "Hey, wanna invite Kio's girlfriend, Olivia?" I say, but as I finish saying it, all the other girls share uncomfortable looks.

"What?" I say, confused as to why they reacted like this. "Well...." Nessa said, "We tried, but she was extremely rude to us, and called us not so nice words."

I give a shocked face, she seemed so nice. I guess you can't judge a book on its cover. "Forget her then! Let's start on face masks!" I say, as I pass out all the products to the girls and we put it on our faces.

"Wanna play Truth or Drink?" Avani said, getting out a really big bottle of tequila. We all get excited, but we see Charli shift in her position.

"I don't know about this guys..." Charli said, uncertainty in her voice. "It'll be all fine, Char" Avani said, placing her hand on her shoulder, "just don't back down on questions!"

We see Charli giggle as she agrees. I get the shot glass as Avani pours some in the glass. She gives the shot to Charli, as she says it's my turn.

"Ok Charli.... do you have a crush on anyone?" I say, as I see her blush.

"Well, I came here with my guy friend Chase. I really like him, and I don't know how he feels. But I wanna ask him to be my boyfriend. Tonight." We all say aw as Charli passes the shot to Mads.

"Ask away Avani!" Mads says, eager to spill the tea. "Ok" Avani says. "This one is never have I ever. If you refuse to answer you have to drink."

"Hit me with your worst" Mads says, challenging Avani, as me, Charli, and Nessa giggle. "Ok. Never have I ever had sex with Jaden" Avani says.

A hush falls over the crowd, as Mads eyes Avani and then the shot. And next thing we know it's bottoms up! She puts the glass on the ground as she coughs.

"That was strong" she says as we all laugh. Avani fills the glass and hands it to Nessa. "Char your turn" Avani says in hype voice.

Avani is the party animal, and I am loving it. "Nessa...." Charli says, "Describe you and Josh's sex!" I was shocked.

"Oh that's a good one!" Mads says, high fiving Charli and eyeing Nessa. I had a feeling she wasn't a virgin, but I was hoping I was wrong.

Now Nessa shot down the shot. She coughs too and then she passes it to me. I fill it up and it's Mads' turn.

Now I am scared, because Mads has been picking at me about me and Bryce. "Addison, what is up with you and Bryce?" Mads says. "I hate you!" I say as Mads and Nessa laugh.

"Oooooo who's Bryce?" Avani and Charli says in unison, and Nessa and Mads fill them in. Now they are interested and everyone is staring at me.

I wasn't gonna be a wuss and drink so I answer honestly. "Well..." I start off, "I like the way things are going right now." I hear disappointed sighs in the group.

"You are so spilling at playlist" Nessa said, and I just nod. I pass the shot to Avani and Nessa asks her "You have a boyfriend?"

"Yes! His name is Anthony and I really like him. Tonight is the night I am going to have sex with him. He doesn't know but I am really excited!" We all say aw, then see her choke down the shot.

"But you answered!" Charli said, shock in her voice. "Let's live a little!" She said as she fills the shot and passes the glass to Charli.

We all applauded her as we continue the game. A couple rounds later and all of us are tipsy except for Charli.

We go to the bathroom to take the face masks off. We stay in our bathing suits and we play a couple more rounds of Truth or Drink.

By the time we are ready to leave, the bottle is empty and the girls and I stumble out the door.

Charli walks out peacefully, because she stayed sober. The rest of us were steered by Charli to the beach party, full of alcohol.
Bryce's point of view
I got to the beach and I saw two boys I didn't recognize with my boys. I walk over and they introduced themselves. Chase and Anthony.

They seemed cool, so we got extra chairs for them. We all tanned in the sun, drinking our beers and honestly just vibing.

"We are gonna get HAMMERED tonight boys!" I scream as I hear them get hyped. We soon watch the sun set as the skies turn into orange blending into yellow. This is how we knew the party was about to start.

Chase and Anthony go and get sticks for the bonfire. That's when I see a group of girls being steered by another girl towards us.

As they get closer I recognize who they are. It's Mads, Addison, Nessa, and two other girls with them. They were all laughing as they finally got to the bonfire.

They separated as Addison walks towards me. "Hey. What happened to you?" I say as I catch her from her tripping.

She giggles. "Hanging, silly goose!" She says, then boops my nose. I laugh as I sit her down in a chair. "You need water" I say as I look around for a fountain.

"No. I need more tequila!" She says, getting up. "Addison no" I say as I hold her arm. She shoves me away. "Get off of me!" She says with anger, and I raise my hands up in defeat.

She goes over to the girls and falls in the sand. They all laugh as they sit in the sand. I hope she's ok I say as I get another beer. I then see the girl with Addison go to Anthony.

"Babe.." she says. "Yes Avani?" he says, allowing me to know her name. "Don't tell Avani I told you, but Avani wants to have sex with you. Tonight. Promise me you won't tell her. She'll go ballistic" Avani says as she makes a funny face.

He laughs and says "Promise." I turn to see Chase calling out Charli. I see the sober girl walk over to Chase and hug him.

"Charli!" I call out to her, and she walks over to me. "Yes?" She says, like she already knows my name. "You're sober. Keep an eye on Addison for me, k?" I say to her, as she gives me a smile.

"Oh you're Bryce?" Charli says, and I nod. "I am on it!" She tells me as she goes over to the group of girls and they vibe right by the water.

The party is going by smoothly and I decide we need more drinks. I go to the cooler in my room and get my drinks. It took me longer then usual to get here. 30 minutes passed by. Weird.

I get the drinks and I walk back to the bonfire. And after what feels like an eternity of walking, I see it. I run over and drop everything.

Kio's girl Olivia has a black eye, Addison is passed out, and everyone is freaking out. I go straight to Addison and I see she's not breathing.

I give her CPR and she's not waking up. I cry on her chest, begging her to wake up. Then I hear breathing.

I whip back up and see her open her eyes. I cry more as I hug her. She gets up and I lead her to a chair. She sits and I turn to the group. "What the hell happened?" I say.
