Star World

twenty six

Scarlet POV

I let out a tired breath and fell back onto a bean bag. Vi and I had been setting up all day for the party tomorrow. One may say we overdid it, and yea, we may have, but this was a big deal. We were celebrating the opening of a second Star World location, and not only that but our LA crew was gonna meet the new New York crew.

We were very excited, to say the least.

We had two tables set up for beer pong or rage cage. The dancefloor was all set up, covered in glitter, and the disco ball was dropped; there were also strobe lights set up everywhere. My favorite part was right when you walked in the door; there was an entrance fee, 1 shot. Each shot had a different type of liquor, so everyone could be surprised with what they drank. We also had some streamers hanging from the walls and little random decorations everywhere.

We were having a party at the new Star World location. We were gonna have it at our apartment, but we didn't want to piss off any neighbors just yet.

"We did pretty good," I said, looking over to Violet. She was face down next to me on the other beanbag, worn out as well. Vi mumbled a yes and raised her hand, giving me a high five. I checked the time on my phone and realized it was getting late, and we hadn't eaten since breakfast. My stomach grumbled at the thought of food.

I stood up and dusted my hands off on my jeans, looking around to admire our work, this place looked really good. I walked over to the bar and grabbed my purse, fishing out my sunglasses. "Wanna go grab some takeout? I'm starving." I said to Violet, who was still face down on the bean bag. She raised her head at the mention of food and stood up as well, "Yea, for sure, I'm so fucking hungry. Do you think we should call Anderson and Preston to see if they want anything?"

Preston and Anderson were staying at our apartment while we were all here, they almost got a hotel, but we insisted they stayed with us. There was no need to waste money on a hotel when we had a perfectly good place to stay.

Anderson had been so extra sweet these past few days, constantly saying he loved me and being extra cuddly. Preston was also on good behavior, always getting things he knew made Vi happy, like her favorite drink or watching her favorite movies with her.

"Yea, good idea. What do you want? I was thinking burgers," I said, scrolling through my phone. I had searched the best restaurants near me, and a cute burger shack showed up called 'Johnnys.'

"Yea, that sounds perfect to me; I'll call Preston," Vi said, pulling out her phone and dialing him.

He picked up after a few rings answering in a groggy voice, "Hello."

Violet looked down at her phone with a funny face, looking back over to me with a little smile, "Did I wake you, princess?" I let out a loud laugh, it's 7:30 at night, how is he asleep right now?

"Ugh-no, I mean kinda, I was just taking a power nap. What's up?" Preston said, clearing his throat. "Scar and I were just leaving Star World, and we wanted to grab a bite to eat, you guys hungry?" Violet responded. "Yea, starving. Let me go grab Anderson," Preston said, yelling Anderson's name.

"We're getting Johnnys, it's a burger place," I said to the boys. They gave us their orders, both getting the exact same thing. Violet and I left the club to grab an Uber and head over to the place. We had already phoned in our order, so hopefully, it wouldn't take too long.

After 45 minutes, we were trudging up the stairs of our apartment complex, hands full of drinks, and food bags. I tried reaching into my purse to grab a key, but my hands were too full, so instead, Violet used her foot to kick the door, trying to knock on it.
