Alex was stressed. This was the fifth outfit she tried on. Why did she care? It was just some dumb party at her friends. A dumb party she'd be attending with Sully. She finally decided upon a pair of dark blue jeans and a long sleeved green shirt. Finally a outfit that reflected her attitude, that she didn't give a damn.
She cursed when she walked out onto the street, she had forgotten a hoodie but there wasn't enough time to go back and grab one. As she lightly jogged the two blocks to Amy's house, she briefly worried that Sully wouldn't even show before shaking her head. No one was worth this much worry. Didn't Jay Hogart just prove that?
When she finally reached Amy's house, Towerz greeted her at the door.
"Hey." He was a man of few words.
"Hi Towerz." Alex said as she walked through the door. "Kind of a small party, isn't it?"
"But small parties are always the best." She was about to congradulate Towerz for speaking more then three words when she realized it wasn't Towerz speaking. She turned around to see Sully standing on the staircase wearing a white polo tee and khakis. He looked so out of place, it was laughable.
"You never fail with the comments."
"But that's part of my charm." He walked towards her. "So I hear you wanted to go to this party with me?"
Think, Alex, Think. "How things get blown completely out of proportion. I said I'd rather go to the party with Raddich."
He slung his arm around her, and for a moment she thought he meant to do it on purpose. "Oh, shot down. I can feel the bullet hole." Nope, he was just pretending to be dying.
She pushed him off of her. "How do you like the party so far?"
"Like you said, It's small but it's nice. There's nice music," He pointed towards the DJ, who Alex vaguely recognized from school, as the DJ scratched the hell out of a dance song. "Nice food, and a nice hostess."
Alex laughed as she heard Amy calling from the other room for paper towels. "Did she knock something over?"
"Only the punch." Both of them laughed. Another dance song started up, and Sully ran his hands through his hair. "Uh, you wouldn't want to- on the off chance- dance, would you?"
Alex was about to protest, when she saw Amy in the backround furiously waving. Alex laughed slightly. "Sure." They both walked out onto the makeshift dance floor which served it's days as her best friend's living room. A few couples were dancing. They stared at each other ackwardly, before he laughed and took one of her hands into his own. Immediately, they got into the dance.
Towerz smiled from the corner. They were a nice, although odd, couple; and it was amazing how well they danced together. Alex certainly had hip hop/rock vibes and the boy was probably classically trained. He felt a small hand on his shoulder, and turned around to see his girlfriend.
"We have a problem. Jay's here."
