"Hoyt." Woody mumbled into his cell phone, frustrated. Aside from seeing Jordan that morning, his day had not been a good one, and he was glad that his shift was ending in a few minutes.

"Bad day?" Jordan's voice asked.

"Yeah." He agreed, "Friends' there now?" He asked with a laugh.

"Yeah, but that isn't going horribly bad… except for the fact that some girls' on the plane called them sluts because Jessica had a play date with one of their boyfriends in the airplane restroom…" Jordan laughed.

"That wild?" Woody laughed back. He tried to imagine Jordan hooking up with a random guy in an airplane restroom… but he couldn't.

"Looking forward to tonight, now?" Jordan asked. She tried to make it seem like a joke, but she knew she sounded a bit too serious.

"Tonight?" He questioned.

"Yeah, we're all going down to that karaoke bar at six." She told him, glad he hadn't picked up on the joke.

"See you there, I got to go." He told her. At least he had something to look forward to in those last five minutes he had to stay at work.

"Bye." Jordan replied before hanging up. The plus side of wearing clothes like this was that you didn't have to change before you went out for the night… but she assumed she'd have to anyways. She knew her friends' all would, and for some reason, what they did, she felt she had to do. It was a really dumb concept if you thought about it. She drove home and entered her apartment to find it a complete mess. Clothes were everywhere, as were magazines. They had cooked something, and left all the dishes and garbage everywhere around the kitchen. Jordan found her three friends in her bedroom, magazine's sprawled all around, they were giving each other manicures.

"Hey Jodi." Jessica greeted her casually. "How was work?"

"It was work." She told them with a smile, sitting down on the bed and relaxing. "Hey, are you guys up to meeting some of my new friends' tonight?" She asked them with a smile.

"Definitely! It sounds like fun!" Lara answered right away and Jess and Sierra nodded.

"Any cute guys coming?" Jessica asked excitedly.

"Guys are coming, I wouldn't call them cute." Jordan laughed.

"Names?" Sierra inquired with a giggle. Jordan smiled she really missed being able to let go and have fun like they were then, but picturing her friends' hitting on Nigel, Garret and Bug were not pleasant images.

"There's Garrett, who is my boss, she added, Nigel, who is a great guy, he's British, and then there is Bug."

"Bug?" Sierra asked, confused.

"Well his real name is Mahesh, but we call him Bug." Jordan explained, getting nods from her friends. "We better get going too, kay?" She said.

"Sure. Do we have to change or are we good?" Lara asked.

"Wear whatever." Jordan told them, noticing that they'd all changed since that morning, but they had been on an airplane.

"Let's hit this party!" Jessica exclaimed, pumping her fist in the air. Jordan shook her head. These girls really did act like they were sixteen years old… and sometimes it wasn't even funny.

"Alright, let's head." Jordan nodded as she grabbed her keys and her purse and led her friends back out to her car. Fifteen minutes later they pulled up at the karaoke bar.

"Karaoke bar? Sweet!" Lara giggled, "If the guys are too drunk to notice us, we can always prance around on a stage singing to get noticed." She told her friends knowingly.

"It's a karaoke bar, not a strip club." Jordan clarified with a laugh as they headed into the bar. She hoped she looked okay compared to her friends. She hadn't really compared their outfits to her's yet… but she decided it matched up. Sierra was wearing a black skirt with a cute pink top that revealed just as much as Jordan's dress, a lot, and had half her red waves pulled into a ponytail. Jess was wearing a super tight dark blue dress, her straight blonde hair looking perfect as usual, and Lara was wearing a typical Lara outfit. Knee long skirt that hugged her hips and a long sleeved, low cut top. Jordan noticed that they didn't enter the bar unnoticed either. Her friends loved the whistles they got as they entered the bar, but Jordan couldn't say as much for herself. She had grown to be too self conscious to enjoy the moment like her friends did. She noticed that Bug, Nigel and Garrett were already sitting down at a table on the far side of the room and they too were staring right at her friends, luckily, their backs were to the table of Jordan's co-workers, so they couldn't tell right away it was Jordan and her friend's they were staring at. "Nigel, Bug and Garrett are over here, guys." She told her friends, who nodded and followed her. As soon as they reached the large table, Jordan started with the introductions. "This is Sierra, Lara and Jessica." She smiled, pointing to each girl in turn, "And this is Garret, Bug and Nigel." She said, pointing to each man. Before anyone could say anything, Lily and Matt approached the table. "And this is Matt and Lily." Jordan added, leaving the pointing out, figuring even her airhead friends could figure out which was which. Everyone said their polite hellos and Jordan giggled at the jealous look on Bug's face at seeing Lily and Matt arriving together. Then Woody entered the bar and headed over to the table, but Jordan didn't notice him as Sierra started talking to her.

"Do you know him?" Sierra asked nodding at Woody, but before Jordan could turn around, Woody was standing right behind her.

"Hey!" He exclaimed, making Jordan jump the slightest bit.

"Oh, hey Woods." She smiled, and introduced him to the three girls who he didn't know. He smiled at them, showing off his oh so cute dimples and sat down beside Jordan. Lara was talking to Nigel, Bug and Garret, Jessica was talking to Matt and Lily and Sierra was talking with Jordan and Woody. Sierra wasn't oblivious to not only how incredibly cute Woody was, but the fact that he was completely in love with Jodi. She could see it in his eyes, and in her's as well. She wondered why they weren't a couple, but she knew Jodi had changed, a lot.

"So, how long have you and Jodi known each other?" Sierra asked Woody with a smile.

"Jodi?" He asked, looking confused.

"People don't call me that much anymore." Jordan smiled uncomfortably, especially at the look Woody got on his face learning of her nickname.

"Oh, I've known Jodi for about four years now." Woody answered with a smirk. He knew Jordan wouldn't like him calling her Jodi, so he decided it would be fun,

"Yep, four years Woods." Jordan glared at him for calling her Jodi. She knew that he knew that she would hate it, and so he would call her it until she yelled at him for it later.

"How long have you been going out?" Sierra asked again with a smirk, because she knew they weren't going out, and she knew that they should be.

"Oh, we're not…" Jordan started.

"Why not?" Sierra asked, "It's obvious you two love each other, even I can see that." She laughed before turning to join Jessica, Lily and Matt's conversation. She heard Sierra telling Jessica and Lara how in love Woody was with Jordan, and vise versa. They all turned and smiled at the two before pursuing their conversations.

"So Jodi…" Woody started, the smirk reappearing on his face. Jordan gave him a light punch in the arm.

"Don't make fun of my nickname!" She told him.

"I think it's cute." He told her with a smile. Jordan just laughed, not knowing exactly what to say. "I'll be right back." He told her with another smirk before disappearing into the crowd of people.
