Adaline wondered why she had thought it had been a good idea to attend a party without any friends. It certainly hadn't been her type of crowd either. For a good half hour, she had sat on the couch in white floral dress, watching a bunch of drunk idiots scramble around the room like an insect nest. Dense smoke billowed throughout the room, making breathing a bit less easier than normal. She waved it out of her face with a grimace, choking. She had never been to a party like this before and she wasn't sure she wanted to come to any more. It sucked. Everyone else was probably too drunk or stoned to realize it. Perhaps that was the point. With a sigh, she finally stood up. There was no reason to sit around, bored out of her mind. She was at a party after all. As stupid as everyone else looked, they were at least having fun. She wandered through sweaty, dancing teenagers in hopes of finding someone to talk to. Everyone seemed too stoned to hold a conversation. Adaline felt awkward approaching people anyway.

"You look like you need a drink, freshman." Adaline turned to find a dark-haired boy smirking at her, his blue eyes full of amusement. She hadn't seen him before today. He was definitely at least a foot taller than her. She thought he looked like he had walked out of a Abercrombie magazine or something. He seemed like the type that was attractive and knew it better than anyone. 

"Is it that obvious?" She asked with a slight smile. 

He chuckled and said, "Pretty much. Everyone's been saying you look like Alice in Wonderland. You've been walking around aimlessly for the past ten minutes." 

Great. She must have seemed like a complete idiot. "Oh.. Uh I was... I was looking for my friend." She explained quickly. That seemed less awkward at least.

"Yeah sure."The tall boy grabbed a beer and popped it open. "YOLO, kid, "he told her, handing it to her. "Name's Hunter. Try to have a good time. "

Girls like her didn't belong in places like these. He wondered why she even bothered coming. It wasn't that he cared much that the girl had looked bored out of mind. Hunter liked making sure as many people knew him as possible. The more people fond of him, the more he could get away with. He took his place back on the couch, wrapping his arm around the drunk chick he been previously making out with and continuing. He knew the other girls were watching with jealousy. It was fun to let them think he might be in a relationship or something along the lines of one. It got people talking. He had been here two years already and most knew who he was. Though quiet, he was rather popular amongst the ladies for his good looks and mysterious attitude. People were easy to Hunter, teenagers especially. There were a couple types and they all followed similar thought patterns. All it took was a little charisma to gain some trust. 

Adaline meanwhile found herself drinking the beer out of sheer boredom. It didn't taste that great but she was enjoying the sensation She found she couldn't remember much of the rest of the night but she did recall giving some random dude her number for some reason. 

She woke up on a couch as sunshine peeked through the blinds that morning. She slowly sat up, feeling extremely dizzy and disoriented. Glancing in the mirror, she found her braided brown hair was no longer braided and was just a complete mess. Adaline groaned and combed her fingers through her hair in an attempt to fix it a little. She stood up on wobbly legs, glancing around her. There were sleeping teens all over the place. Why had no one went home? The room had become too stuffy to breathe in and she was starting to feel nausea kick in. Carefully, she stepped over people and walked outside to get some air. She walked down a street, paying more attention to the sunrise than where she was actually going.

The sounds of an explosion made Adaline pause and look forward. Someone was screaming the words "holy shit" as fire engulfed three cars in a parking lot. "What the hell?"She muttered. She felt like she was in a Michael Bay movie. She made her way over to the parking lot, the sound of roaring flames and panicking teens becoming louder and louder. She recognized one of the guys from earlier on at the party. "What did you guys do!?" She called to him.
