Caden had sat in silence for a little while after Decker had left. He never knew what to make of the guy, one minute complaining over an ex and then the next trying to pick up a new girl. The boy sighed at the thought. "I'll never understand how we ended up friends." He mumbled to his dog, who simply yawned and lowered his head for a nap. Taking that as his cue, Caden decided he might as well do something with the rest of his night. From what he had heard, there was a birthday party going on. He hadn't been invited personally, but the invitations had already gotten a bit out of control. No one would notice one extra guy. Throwing on his beanie and converse, Caden tucked in his necklace and grabbed a soda to go, shutting to door softly behind him. 

Hopping into his parents' car, Caden jammed out to his favorite bands up until the point he pulled up to the party. There were various faces he recognized, but none particularly stood out as anyone he'd spend the party with. Too nervous to interrupt anyone's conversations, Caden began to wander around, sipping his can of soda as he walked.
