[h2][b]Alex[/b][/h2] __________________________________________________________________________ [color=cyan]"Jason makes me feel like all he cares about is my good looks."[/color]Alex joked, turning to yell at Jason, [color=cyan]"My eyes are up here you pervert!"[/color] Jason chuckled and winked at him, [color=lightgreen]"With a rack like that, how can I glance away?"[/color] Alex teasingly made a face at him. He embraced Shay back and held her at arms length to look at her. She looked as gorgeous as she always did. How did she even end up with a doofus like him? [color=cyan]"Look at you! You look amazing!"[/color]He twirled her gently around and hugged her again, [color=cyan]"How are you so perfect? Can you teach me?"[/color] Stroking her hair, he smiled at her, [color=cyan]"Your boobear is doing fantastic. I love you."[/color] [color=lightcoral]"Oh my God!"[/color]Rose's exclamation rang through the room. He turned to glance over at her as she hugged James,[color=lightcoral]"You are so handsome and cute and perfect and adorable and great and-"[/color]She had gently taken in his face in his hands and was going on a string of compliments until Jason came over to cover her mouth. He shrieked soon after and moved away, taking his hand off. [color=lightgreen]"Ew! You licked my hand!"[/color]Jason cried. She giggled at him and stuck out her tongue. She threw her arms around James neck, going up on her tippy toes to reach it. James seemed a little more freaked out about this than the average shy kid. He was clenching his fists and he looked afraid a man with a chainsaw was about to jump out. Rose seemed to have noticed too and she was planting a kiss on his cheek every so often and hugging him. She was whispering reassurances in his ear as well. Was this about those guys they all saw earlier? Alex decided he should stay close to Shay tonight. He was sure James would have fun once he got there. They all left momentarily after. Alex arrived to the party with his arm around Shay. Music so loud blasted through the room he could feel the bass vibrating under his feet. There were tons of people here already, all packed into one suite. The balcony doors were wide open and kids were packed out there too. There were people playing video games on the couch and board games on the floor. Others were dancing by the stereo. However, he was pretty sure everyone was drunk and it wasn't as innocent as it looked. Rose immediately had started to sing along to the song loudly, swinging James arms. Jason walked in front of them suddenly and looked at James and Rose. [color=lightgreen]"Rosaline, my beautiful friend, take care of my brother for me. There are cute girls waving to me in the corner. Don't leave him alone."[/color] He darted over to a pair of giggling girls in the corner, putting his arms around them. [color=lightcoral]"That didn't take long."[/color]Rose said with a sigh and hugged James side, staying with him despite some people calling her name to get her to come over. [color=lightcoral] "You guys want drinks? "[/color] [color=cyan]"Yeah can you put some rum in a coke for me?"[/color]Alex asked. He planned on getting tipsy for fun but no further. He glanced at Shay, knowing she probably had other plans. He wanted to make sure he could look out for her and take care of her if she got drunk.

She wasn't so sure she trusted this but what else could it be? It didn't even state the location of the event. She read over the letter a few times, a bad feeling forming in the pit of her stomach. However, Ariana had never gotten an award like this before. She'd be so excited. "We usually get told a lot in advance but I'm guessing it was supposed to be last year and it was cancelled. Let's check with Liam maybe?"
