"Where's Carson and Jayden?" I ask

"Dunno, I heard them going to the bathroom or some sort," Annie says

The door suddenly opens, revealing Carson with his shirt slightly lifted, and Jayden's hair, very much messy. Don't tell me they-. Nope. Cleared up. They did.

They both see us and walk over to us.

"Sorry," they both say at the same time.

"What were you guys doing in the bathroom?" Annie asks

"What everyone does! I just released my urine and I don't know what she did cause she's in the other bathroom!" Carson says

"Dude, your shirt, it's um, lifted. And Jayden, maybe comb your hair?" I state

"Oh yeah, pfft." Jayden says as she finger-combs her very very very messy hair.

"Did you-" Annie asks and gets interrupted

"Fine, fine, fine! Just a little kiss, nothing else," Jayden says

"Doesn't seem like a little kiss to me," I say

"Okay! It was a mak-" Carson says

"Oh my gosh, you guys aren't supposed to do that in school! And second, date already!" Annie says

"She has a point," I say

"What if we already are?" Carson says under his breath

"Oh my! How? When?" Annie says

"We hung out yesterday by the beach-looking lake, and well- he asked me out, not that we're dating yet, but it counts I guess?" Jayden says

"yet, eh? Meaning you will?" I ask

"I don't know, we'll just go with the flow." Carson says

"Okay! Okay! Enough of all the Jarson for now, onto the project!" Annie says

About 15 minutes later, the posters look even better than they did before. But what hit me hard most- the fact that Mackenzie was included in one of our posters.

"Onto homeroom period," Ms Riley says very fast, seeming that she's in a hurry.

"Lookin' good, my man," Hayden says, he's wearing a black sweater a purple symbol at the upper corner, white jeans and slip-on vans.

I take a moment to notice that I'm wearing probably the least or most, cool attire. Wearing my favorite Nicce jacket, black jeans and some white yeezys. Lauren says yeezys would look good on me, so I'm trying her advice. Doesn't look bad actually.

"Do you guys think this will look good to Jayden?" Carson asks, he's wearing a blue button-up, with ripped jeans and basketball shoes. Not very nice. But I could see he is going for a formal-casual kind of look. Not good though.

"Um- to be honest, not the best I've seen from you." I say

"Going for a formal-casual look! Is it that bad?" He asks. Didn't know he'd care so much, the Carson I know throws on the first thing he sees in his closet.

"Not that bad, but, eh," Hayden says

"Well, it's a party, not gonna be that formal anyway, just gonna change to some basketball jersey," Carson says, finding the Clippers jersey he wore a few years back with Jayden, under it is a black shirt.

"That looks way better," Hayden points out

"Okay, gotta get going now, picking Jayden up," He says

"Welcome to the partay," Kendall says as she welcomes me and Hayden into the inside of Dylan's huge house.

"Thanks Kendall," Hayden says

We walk into the room, me and Hayden separate ways. He immediately walks over to Annie. I would usually hangout with Kenzie at parties, but here I am. She's missing.

"Hello, you're Johnny Orlando, right?" A slightly older figure approaches me.

"Um- yeah," I say

"Hello! My name's Caden Conrique, older brother of Dylan." He says as he reaches out his hand for me to shake.

"Hi, nice to meet you." I say

"I'm checking the attendance, when are you planning to leave and what time did you get here?" He asks as he takes a look onto his clipboard.

"I was here around 5:42 and I think I'm leaving around 9:30 pm," I say

"Okay, thanks." He says as he walks away, continuously asking everyone the same question.

I hear very loud and blasting music, playing the song Stay With You by Cheat Codes.

But when you come over again,
I'm not gonna pretend that I want anyone else 'cause I don't
I'm tired of being alone
I wanna stay with you, you, you

The song continues for the next minute, until I hear a male shout, coming from the crowd.

"We're over, Sophia!" Mark yells

"I did not do anything, Mark!" Sophia says

"She didn't do anything," Will says

"Can someone tell me what the heck is happening?" Dylan asks

"You see here Dylan, Sophia cheated on me with Will!" Mark yells

"She did not!" Will yells

All of a sudden, Mark punches Dylan, pushes him on the ground, punching him continuously. Will pushes Mark, dodging all Mark's attempts to punch him. Mark and Will are standing, Will kicks Mark's legs from an under view, Mark is bleeding on the floor. Will has many bruises and what seems like a black eye.

"F you, Crap-enter." Mark says as he feels his bleeding nose.

"If you guys are gonna fight, mind if you do it outside? Parents are coming back tomorrow, it's gonna take long to clean up," Dylan says

"You know what? I'm gonna leave! Can't deal with anymore of this," Mark says

"Wait, Mark," Sophia pleads

"Too bad Sophia, we're over," He says as he storms out

Mark wasn't there. Will was, Sophia was.

But you know who else was apparently?

Mackenzie.
