A/N: I'm sorry for the late update I know I said I would update soon but things didn't go as planned. This chapter was 5 pages long btw.

Later that night at the party.

Wow Bradley's house is packed. It seems like everyone from school is here. But where is Bradley?

I found him outside at the grill by the pool. I walk over to him.

"Seems like everyone showed up tonight." I remark.

"Well of course nobody misses a party I throw. And might I say you look great tonight." He exclaims.

"Mmm well thank you. You are looking pretty good yourself." I respond.

"Well of course I do I'm Bradley White." He says and flicks his hair dramatically. I laugh at him and hit his arm.

"You're such a dork."

. . .

"Are the rest of the guys here?" I ask. "I saw Tasha and Kally getting drunk. Sophie and Marcus might be in the game room. Alexis and his 'special date' didn't show up yet, maybe she blew him off or something." Bradley shrugs nonchalantly.

Just as he finished talking the gate opens and in walk Justine and Alexis. "Oh look! It's Alex and his special date." I tease.

"Shut up...Hey Alexis! Come join us." Bradley calls out. Alexis walks over bringing Justine with him. I greet Alexis with a hug. "Good to see ya pal. You were missing out on an amazing party." I joke as we pull away. Bradley steps forward and does a bro hug with Alexis. I notice Justine standing there awkwardly so I smile at her in courtesy which she returns.

"You look very pretty tonight, Justine." I say complimenting her.

"Thank you, you look pretty as well." She shyly replies.

I know I said hated her but Alex seems to like her a lot. Honestly, I really don't know anything about her so I shouldn't judge her and I understand how she must feel. Last year I didn't know anyone, I was the new girl surrounded by a bunch of people who were good friends. It's really awkward and isolating and I'm sure that's how she feels at this party. I'll give her a chance but if she does anything to hurt Alex she better look out.

"So you planning on getting lucky tonight? I know I am." Bradley winks. I scoff and cross my arms.

"You keep telling everyone that and you better expect to be sleeping alone tonight."

Alexis just laughs at us and asks Justine to dance. She looks relieved to get away from this awkward situation.

3rd Person POV

Meanwhile.

"Ugh look who decided to show up." Kally announces.

"Who?" Tasha asks as she turns around. She spots Justine walking away from Vanessa and Bradley with Alexis. "I can't believe she showed up. Does she think she belongs here? Alexis just wants to hook up. Maybe we should show her where she belongs. Come on."

Tasha walks over to Jez the DJ.

"Hey I want you to do something for me…." Tasha leans in and whispers into his ear.

. . .

Vanessa's POV

Bradley and I start dancing. "So you were planning on getting lucky tonight, hmm?" I tease. "Well you know..." Bradley spins me around so my back is pressed up against his chest. He leans his head down breathing onto my neck and whispers. "...I was planning on having a good night; partying, have a few drinks, maybe pull some pranks, and then when everyone leaves I was gonna take my girl to my room and.." He trails off kissing my neck.

I sigh in content when suddenly the music cuts off. Jez starts making fun of Justine while Tasha stands behind him laughing. What a fucking asshole, doesn't she care about anyone's feelings? I look over at Justine she looks like she might cry and Alex looks super pissed.

Alexis storms over to Jez and pushes him away from the microphone. "Do you got a problem? I invited her okay?" Alexis yells.

Whilst Bradley, Marcus (who left the game room), and Alexis berate Jez I go to comfort Justine. I wrap my arm around her pulling her close to me, "Are you okay?"

She sniffles, "Y-yeah I'll be fine. I don't mean to be rude but why are you trying to help me?"

"Because you mean something to Alexis and that means something to me." I answer. "Plus, if you're going to be dating my best friend we should get along."

Alexis joins us and pulls Justine into his arms, "You okay?" She nods.

"You've been upsetting my guests." Bradley starts. "Nah bro I was just joking." Jez interrupts. "I'm not your fucking bro." Bradley snaps.

"You guys need to chill out, it's Darren Mullet's leaving. The fat twat is dead! You gotta celebrate to that!" Jez jokes. I stare at him in shock while the boys glare at him.

"Why the fuck would you say that shit to me?" Bradley questions, grabbing my hand he starts walking away pulling me along. While we're leaving Marcus kicks Jez into the pool and forces him to leave.

"What was that all about? Why would he say all that stuff?" I ask.

"I don't know Jez is just being a fucking idiot. I can't have my guests leaving my parties insulted or no one will come." Bradley replies.

"Hmm...okay..hey do you think Justine is alright?" I wonder. "Yeah Alexis can handle it. Now where were we..." Bradley replies. He grabs my waist and we start dancing and making out.

. . .

3rd Person POV

In the house.

Alexis and Justine are trying to know each other. Music and chatter blares all around them. "Hey do you think we could go somewhere quieter I can't hear you." Justine asks.

Alexis grabs her hand and leads her upstairs. He goes to the room at the end of the hall farthest from all the noise downstairs.

"I'm uh sorry about the uh "art work", this is probably not how you imagined our first date." He responds awkwardly seeing pictures of his best friends all around.

Scattered along the walls were images of Vanessa and Bradley. Some were cute and adorable couple photos of them laughing and hanging out, and others….well let's just say some articles of clothing were missing but thankfully none of them revealed anything too scandalous or embarrassing.

"Oh this is a date now?" Justine questions.

"Yeah I mean that's kind of what I was hoping, and well since this is a date then that means at some point we are gonna have to do some kissing, you know those are the rules. I am just as annoyed as you are, probably more so." Alexis replies.

"Mhmm I'm sure."

Justine leans in and kisses him. Alexis winds his hands into her hair deepening the kiss. Wrapping her arms around his neck Justine leads them to the bed so they could sit. They end up falling on the bed continuing to make out.

. . .

Vanessa's POV

"Come on, change weapon. Change weapon!" Bradley shouts into my ear. Maybe sitting in Bradley's lap wasn't the best idea. "Hold on." Marcus replies as his phone bings notifying his that he just got a text. Bradley pauses the game while Marcus gets his phone. I hit Bradley's shoulder.

"Did you have to yell in my ear?"

"I'm sorry Essie." He apologizes leaning down and kissing my forehead.

"It's from Mullet." Marcus announces gaining everyone's attention. "That's impossible." Bradley replies. Instantly everyone's phone rings alerting them that they have a notification. All of us receiving a text from Darren's number.

Each of them are outraged and share their messages with the group except for me. Weird my message doesn't say anything. "Did this fuckface send you anything?" Bradley asks me enraged. "No he didn't, it's blank." I reply showing him my phone.

"I bet you it's that loser Jason messing with us." Tasha says.

Bradley grabs his phone and calls the number.

"Alright Jizzum Wanks you creepy little twat tomorrow at school I'm gonna make babs at your nads, sweet dreams."

They laugh and Marcus asks "What did he say?"

"Nothing but I could hear him breathing."
