Switched at Birth

Chapter 7

That evening in Bayley's room, Seth was sitting on her bed while she got ready for the party.

"I still hate you for inviting her." Bayley told him as she looked through her closet.

"You'll thank me later. And wear the black one." Seth told her.

Bayley rolled her eyes and grabbed the black dress Seth was referring to. She walked into the bathroom and slightly shut the door. Seth looked at the time on his phone before accidentally glancing up and seeing Bayley's bare back through the cracked door. He watched for a moment with curiosity as she slipped on the black dress. Seth quickly snapped out of whatever trance he was in and looked away.

"Hair up or down?" Bayley asked as she displayed herself in the black mini dress.

"Down.. Definitely down." Seth said with confidence.

Bayley laughed and let down her hair. Now Seth had to suffer through another rather sexy sight of his best friend.

"Shoes?" Bayley asked.

Seth handed her her favorite pair of black combat boots.

"You know me so well." Bayley said with a smile on her face.

In the guest house, Becky and Sasha were just finishing getting ready themselves. Sasha wore a gold romper outfit with her hair down while Becky simply wore a black crop top with jeans.

"I still think this is a bad idea." Becky told Sasha.

"It's a party, Becks. There's no such thing as a bad idea when it comes to parties." Sasha assured her.

"We're not going to fit in, Sash. It will be you, me and a bunch of trust fund babies." Becky told her.

Sasha rolled her eyes and lead the way outside where Bayley and Seth were just getting in the jeep. Seth looked at Sasha for a moment and let out a slight smile. Bayley seemed too annoyed with Becky's presence to take notice of Sasha.

At Roman's party, the song "Rich Friends" by Portugal. The Man. was playing as everyone gathered outside. Sami and Finn were talking to a few of their friends. Alexa was trying her hardest to get Finn's attention.

"I was thinking maybe we could get out of here?" Alexa whispered to Finn.

Sami gave Alexa an annoying look at her desperation. Finn gave her a nod and took her hand. Just as they began to walk off, Renee walked into the party. Finn stopped and stared at her as his eyes lit up. Sami looked across the party at Renee and again couldn't believe her beauty.

"On second thought, Lexi.. I think I have other plans." Finn said as he let go of her hand and walked towards Renee.

Sami watched in confusion as Finn approached Renee.

"I'm glad you made it." Finn told her.

"I've only got one life, right? Why not live it." Renee told him.

"Yeah, yeah.. Sure." Finn said as he looked her up and down.

She was wearing the same outfit she had auditioned in only now her hair was down.

"Why don't I go get you a drink?" Finn asked.

"Sure." Renee told him.

As Finn walked away, Renee looked around at all the people at the party.

"I take it he invited you?" Sami asked.

"Um.. Yeah. Unlike some people." Renee joked.

Sami wasn't sure if she was joking at first so he took her comment a little personally.

"Look, Finn doesn't necessarily understand boundaries. And if you're going to be joining the band, maybe you should be careful with him." Sami warned her.

"You mean you want me to stay away from him?" Renee asked bluntly.

Sami froze for a moment not realizing how rude he sounded.

"It's okay.. You don't have to worry about me. Relationships in bands have never exactly worked well together. Not to mention the fact that your friend seems like a total player." Renee told him.

Sami let out a small laugh.

"Maybe just a little bit." Sami said as they both looked over and saw him already talking to another girl across the party.

When Renee laughed at Sami's comment he couldn't help but let out a smile.

"You were amazing today.. at the audition of course." Sami told her.

"Oh I know.. I'm pretty amazing." Renee told him seriously.

Sami was a little taken back by her confidence as they shared a laugh.

"That song seemed a little personal... What was that about?" Sami asked.

The smile faded from Renee's face.

"I'm going to go get myself a drink.. I think your friend got distracted." Renee said as she hurried away.

Sami watched her for a moment as she waked away frm him. He had absolutely no idea who this girl was but he definitely wanted to know more.

A few heads turned when Seth and Bayley walked in with Becky and Sasha. One person that took particular notice of the new girls was Roman Reigns. Bayley fixed her hair when Roman started walking in their direction. Becky was actually looking around for a particular someone that she'd met during her tour of Buckner Hall the other day.

"Hey." Roman said as he walked right up to her.

Becky looked at Roman in confusion as Sasha checked him out. Seth had casually stepped in front of Bayley, slighting blocking her from Roman's view.

"Um.. Hi." Becky said in confusion.

"I'm Roman." He introduced himself.

"Becky." She told him as a few girls looked on jealously.

Roman let out a half smile but his usual charm didn't seem to be working on Becky.

"Can I get you a drink?" Roman asked.

"No thanks, I'm good." Becky said politely.

Bayley seemed more annoyed than ever at Becky turning down Roman's offer. Roman tried not to seem to offended by Becky so he turned his attention to Sasha. He looked her up and down before making eye contact with Seth. Roman quickly remembered a promise he'd made and backed off.

"I'll take a drink." Sasha spoke up .

Roman smiled over at her and took her hand.
