Alexander

"Wanna come to a party with us!?" Irina's voice rang out through the crowded lunch hall. Alexander had to register what the hell she just said to him. He glanced over his shoulder towards the short girl. ".. Excuse me?" He asked, a slight shock to his voice. He heard Jacob laugh from beside him. "Irina and I got invited to a house party, and she's set on convincing you to come with us." Jacob explained. Irina beamed from where she was standing, serving herself a salad.

"Exactly!" The girl claimed. "Pleaseeeee Alex!" Irina begged, staring at Alexander when the line stopped moving. She intertwined her hands together in a begging motion. "You never go out with us you know, it's starting to hurt!" Irina whined, seemingly joking. Alexander sighed. "It's not that I don't want too, it just there will be so many people I don't know.." Jacob piped up, slinging his arm around Alexander's shoulder.

"Come on, we'll be there with you so there's nothing to be scared of." He said, making Irina nod in agreement. "Yes, so please!" Alexander laughed a bit at his friends energetic behavior. He thought for a moment to himself, it wouldn't be bad to get out of his lonely dorm room. "Fine.. I guess I'll make an acception for tonight." His friends celebrated together, maybe it wouldn't be as bad as he thought.

"This the place?" The old man ubering Alexander around asked while looking in the review mirror. “Yessir, thank you. Do you take Apple Pay?” The old man nodded and rushed Alexander out the car. Nowadays uber is cheaper than gas prices. Alexander stared at the house infront of him. Music was pouring out from the front door, the bass so loud he could practically feel it vibrating through his feet. Irina and Jacob weren’t outside, maybe they were running late?

He stepped closer to the house, passing a few groups of people who all seemed way too social for Alexander himself. He stepped inside and was met with so many unrecognizable faces. To the left he saw people playing beer pong, and to the right a bunch of people dancing to songs that had too much bass for his liking.

Alexander awkwardly walked down a hallway, trying to explore and maybe find his friends. He entered the kitchen, met with a girl making drinks. He couldn’t believe the host hired a bartender for a simple house party. “Um..” Alexander approaches the girl. “What uh, what’s good?” He asked, internally stabbing himself for being so odd. The girl smiled. “First time? I’d just get plain beer, don’t drink too much though!” He said, handing him a red plastic cup with bitter looking liquid inside.

He thanked the girl quickly and scurried out as a group entered the kitchen. Alexander found a set of stairs, maybe Irina and Jacob were waiting in a quiet area? He headed up, looking around at the decor and pictures. As he went to take a sip, Alexander turned a corner and crashed into someone. The drink spilled on him as well as the person infront of him. He was about to apologize before he caught the sight of {{user}}.

He froze up. Alexander heard rumors about this guy, that he was some type of delinquent, or maybe was it that he heard {{user}} was in a gang? Alexander couldn’t remember due to the fact that the most feared guy on campus was infront of him, and he didn’t look thrilled.
