THE BASS WAS POUNDING THROUGH THE WALLS the second lexie stepped into the house, instantly assaulted by the smell of weed, cheap beer, and someone's body spray that had no business being that strong.
"god, it smells like a frat house threw up," she muttered, pulling her hoodie tighter around herself.
"welcome to nightlife, antisocial ass," miles said, taking another sip out of his bottle as he handed her a red solo cup with zero explanation.
"what's in this?" she asked before sniffing it, getting a strong whiff of whatever alcoholic concoction could possibly be in there.
"don't ask questions you don't want the answers to." miles said through a small laugh, causing her to stare up at him with a hardened jaw, "you are genuinely the worst." she said with annoyance.
"and yet here you are." he said with a small smirk.
they barely made it two steps inside before a voice shouted—
"YO. HOLY SHIT. MILES FUCKING FAIRCHILD!"
lexie turned just in time to see a guy nearly body slam into miles excitedly before jumping up and down like a maniac.
and like that, she felt like she was gonna throw up.
because that same fucking feeling came back.
lexie felt her clock tick slower as she studied the person in front of her.
he looked so fucking familar.
she snapped back into reality just as fast,
"jesus christ, noah," miles coughed as his beer nearly sloshed everywhere.
"i haven't seen you since you were in the back of a cop car!" noah screamed like it was the best news he'd ever shared.
lexie froze.
wait.
back of a what?
her brain did a hard left turn. miles? in a cop car? what the hell did that even mean? was he kidding? was noah kidding? was this a joke between degenerate friends or was she currently standing next to a literal criminal?
"wait" noah pushed miles out of the way as his eyes fell on lexie, "who is this?" he asked out of curiosity, causing miles to turn his head over to lexie who was standing beside him.
"lexie," miles said casually, clearly ignoring the bomb that had just been dropped five seconds before,
"this is noah, the worlds biggest dumbass. and noah, this is my lovely cousin, alexandra" he wrapped his arm around lexie with the fakest smile on his face ever.
