"Jesus Christ, it's already how late?" Cal asked. "How long are you going to get ready?"

It was already 1 am by the time Kenzie exited her bathroom, dolled up and ready to go to the party. Cal had already come over late in an attempt to avoid going altogether, but now Kenzie was treating this like she was getting ready to be a bride in a wedding.

"Oh, so now you're all eager to go?" Kenzie replied.

Cal rolled her eyes.

"Are we going or not?" Mark impatiently yelled up the stairs. They were at Kenzie's house since they'd all be carpooling to the party.

"Let's go," Kenzie said, pulling Cal with her down the stairs.

"Jesus, try-hard much," Mark said when he saw Kenzie's dress and extensive makeup.

"Hey, I just know that Sean's going to be there and since he just broke up with his girlfriend, I'm making a move on him tonight," Kenzie explained with over-the-top gesturing. "And I got to look the part, sweetheart."

Sean was some senior that Kenzie had apparently had a crush on since sophomore year. Mark and Cal rolled their eyes at her explanation.

"Alright, whatever, let's go," Mark said, and the three of them headed outside to the car.

Kenzie drove them to the party and, as expected, it was already jam packed with drunk teenagers. The party was larger than Cal had expected.

They hopped out of the car and headed in. Naturally, the place was already trashed and there was a plethora of people stumbling around, making out, and possibly doing drugs in the corner. Cal was already getting flashbacks to the last party she went to that got busted. They probably shouldn't stay here very long.

As Kenzie lead them through the crowd of sweaty bodies, Cal wondered if Grace actually did show up. She felt a feeling that was almost similar to...hope? No, no, that couldn't be it. There's no way she'd want to see Grace's little prissy face at an out of control house party.

After several minutes of Kenzie trying to get the three of them to dance in the living room or play a round of beer pong, Mark split off to talk to some guys from the soccer club he was in.

As they stood in what was basically a corner, Kenzie was very obviously looking for her crush among the crowd of people. Ultimately, she spotted him in the living room with a few of his friends. Kenzie seemed reluctant to go talk to him.

Sensing this, Cal said, "Hey, why don't you go say hi? I was going to go put my jacket in your car anyway so I don't have to carry it around."

Kenzie beamed at Cal. "Really?"

"Yeah, and I'll come back in and join you or Mark."

"Okay, well...be careful." Kenzie handed Cal her car keys reluctantly.

Cal chuckled. "I should be saying that to you. Go get 'em."

Cal playfully shoved Kenzie in Sean's direction before turning to head out the front door. The cool air was like a blast of relief for Cal compared to the stuffy house interior. Honestly, she wished she could just take off and go home, but Kenzie and Mark seemed to be having fun. Maybe she should just hang out outside away from everyone...

Before throwing her jacket back in Kenzie's car, she decided she'd light up a cigarette and take a quick stroll around the block. She rarely smoked, but every once in a while she found it helped clear her head. She used to do it a lot more when was first introduced to it by...well, nevermind. No use in sinking her mood by thinking of that now.
