Thomas smiled at Fox's comments,
"Well, this parties coming up and I was wondering if you were still dealing" Thomas pulled some cash from his pocket, crisp clean bills folded together to make one hundred bucks,
"This is for you, in exchange for some high grade gear... Deal?" Thomas held the money out and smiled at Fox

Fox broke into a grin when he saw the bills. He quickly snatched them and leafed through, counting. He let out a low whistle.
"Now we're talking..." he murmured, "alright. Deal. What kind of stuff did you have in mind? Classy wine? Vodka? Or maybe you want a little smoke?"

Thalia glanced over to the other girl near her in the canteen. The guy who had stolen Fox away from their conversation had practically left her there. Despite wanting to go to the party, which she was sure her teammates would want to do, she had a bad feeling about actually going.

Thalia adjusted her jacket and turned to her, offering up her hand for a handshake. "I'm Thalia," she smiled, "Freshman soccer player." She didn't look like a fellow sports player, but Thalia didn't really care. She was never one to like labels. The other students wearing letterman jackets kept peering over, but the rest of the soccer girls that Thalia hung out with had left already.

"I don't drink, I was thinking something to smoke" Thomas winked at him,
"Know what I mean?" Thomas glanced over to the table and smiled,
"The girl that cleared your milkshake, is she your date?" Thomas said with a playful punch to the arm

He chuckled, pocketing the cash. "I gotcha. My stash is in my dorm, so do you wanna pick it up now?"
Fox turned red as Thomas playfully punched him. He glared. "W-what? No! I just met her!"

Ava snapped out of her thoughts and looked at the girl as she introduced herself. Taking Thalia's hand in her she gently shook it.

"Ava...not much of anything. Freshman music student, I guess."
She said, chuckling softly.

Sean had work to do.

He put the address into his GPS and drove to it. The truth was, he wasn't pulling the strings so much on this one, but simply the front man for something that he could only assume was much bigger. Weeks prior he received an unmarked letter under his door that read

"Dear Sean,

I have been seeing what you are up to for awhile. I like your rebellious style, but more importantly, I like the way you don't get caught. Below is an address, it is an abandoned building that I bought recently, I would like you to throw a party there. Don't worry, I'm not a cop, and I don't work for the school...this isn't a set up. I am simply a smart and wealthy rebel like yourself. Unfortunately my rebellion is coming to a close and I need someone to continue my legacy. Consider this your qualification test.

-T"

The black Audi came to a halt in front of an abandoned building, skyscraper was an understatement. There had to be fifty floors to it. None the less, like any abandoned building, it was rough. There were a few broken windows and a vine had started climbing the side. The situation made Sean a little nervous. He popped the trunk and pulled out a 31 oz metal bat from the back. Can't be to careful.

He opened the door and there it was in the middle of the floor...like a treasure chest...liquor. Vodka, Whiskey, Scotch...it was like he had just walked into a liquor store. Other than that, the room was nearly completely empty except for a bartending station along one wall and a small stage in the corner.

"Better Get to Work" Sean said out loud.

Spencer sighed taking another sip of her milkshake as she walked towards Thalia and Ava with her Milkshake on her hand. "Hello there." Spencer said smiling at them raising an eyebrow. "Sooo you guys going to go to the party? By the way. I am sorry for bumping into your friend, boyfriend or brother earlier on." She told Thalia. "Ima have to apologize to him...i just left like that." She sighed shrugging. "Im Spencer." Spencer decided to chat and socialize have some friends and all. Not be a loner and stuff. Maybe if they become friends she will go to the party. "I dont know. That guy just came out of the random and throwing a party. Haha. I mean i wont say that im a party girl mainly because sometimes i can drink a bit too much and either have emotionschange or i get really like cr-...Nevermind. Im sorry, I talk a bit to much....mom was right." Spencer sighed and smiled looking at the two girls. Hopefully she didnt look weird.

Ava turned to look towards Spencer and gave her a shy smile.
"Hey, Spencer. I'm Ava. And you don't talk too much, I've met people who talk much more than you." She greeted,
"I don't know if I'm goin' to the party...last time I went to a party, things got...dicey."

"Nah, I'll pick up later" Thomas smiled and looked over to the girls,
"There's something I like about that Ava... I dunno man" Thomas smiled and turned back towards Fox,
"Thanks for this mate"

Thalia smiled up at Spencer as she introduced herself, rambling on. Ava introduced herself back to Spencer and Thalia figured she do the same. "I'm Thalia," she greeted the talkative girl. "Milkshake boy is just someone I stopped to help, we just met." She threw a glance over her shoulder at the two guys across the canteen. He was attractive, but something about him and the Thomas guy both gave her vibes that she should watch what they were up to. "It's the first party of the school year, though. I'm going." She decided, even if she meant she would only stick around for a couple of minutes, maybe an hour. Ava and Spencer both looked at her. "The worst that could happen is you get drunk and make a fool of yourself." She shot them a crooked grin as she stretched her arms in front of her, her tattoos peeking through the sleeve.

As Thalia introduced herself and talked about the party, Ava turned to look at Thomas and Fox.
She watched as Thomas slipped Fox some money, and when he looked her way she quickly turned back to Spencer and Thalia.

She kind of wanted to go to the party...just a little...but something about the thought of a college party and Fox and Thomas' interaction made her have doubts.

"Do you guys think I should go? Because I'm not so sure...."

"No problem. Come over whenever you'd like." Fox smirked as Thomas glanced over at Ava. There was a childish gleam in his eyes. "Ooooh...Thomas' got a giiirlfriiieeend, Thomas' got a giiirlfriiieeend," he sang like a school girl.

"Yes!" Thalia smiled, a little over zealous in getting them to come. She suddenly hear Fox's voice teasing Thomas, though she only picked up on his tone rather than what she was saying. She cocked an eyebrow, peering over her shoulder at him. He picked his head up, leaving Thalia to believe he was about to look their direction, and she quickly turned away. "I think you should go, at least to the first one. That way, you'll know what it's like and be able to compare it to other parties, if you decide to go to them. Then, when next year rolls around, going to parties or refusing to go will be a lot easier." She smiled and fixed her jacket.

Ava, completely oblivious to Fox's teasing tone, smiled and nodded.

"Then I'll go. The worst that could happen is that I'll be stuck at the back reading my book, right?"

Spencer smiled nodding towards the girls listening to Fox's teasing tone. Spencer couldn't help but to giggle as she threw away her milkshake in the nearby garbage and sighed looking at the girls. "Alright. If Ava goes, I will go as well." she simply nodded smiling at them. "Besides, Thalia is right. Try out your first party. It can be fun, if you want we can go together?" It was just a suggestion seeing that it SEEMS that they had dates already.

Nodding again, Ava grinned, her shyness far behind her.

"That would be very nice, yes! So I guess that settles it, we'll go as a group!...oh wait..."
She looked back to the number written on her arm, Thomas had wanted to go with her and be her "date".

"Actually, I may have to pass on the group thing...I don't know..."

Sean unpacked the drinks and put them behind the bar. The letter had a list of numbers to call: A band, a bartender, and an equipment guy. Each of them were paid and hired by "T"...Sean just had to call them. He called the equipment guy first, in charge of lights, speakers, and what Sean soon found out was a giant inflatable waterslide...seemed like a plan.

The phonecall lasted a few seconds and the man on the other line simply said "Are you there?"

A few minutes later a van pulled up and a group of about 10 guys came out. All in jeans and a black shirt, sunglasses, and black converse. Another van pulled up, this one more like a box truck. One of the men slid the back door of the box truck up and revealed electronics and wires. They set them up in a matter of minutes and lastly rolled out a 32 foot tall inflatable waterslide...this was going to be awesome. There was no water in the building so the men hooked a firehose to the hydrant out front.

"Isn't that illeg..." Sean started, but before he could finish one of the men said..
"Don't worry, you wont get in trouble...we have people. There wont be any cops or ambulances within a 10 mile radious of this building tonight...so don't let anyone die." The man said with a completely straight face.

The slide was completely inflated by this point and just barely grazed the ceiling of the first floor. There was a pool of water at the bottom about 4 foot deep. Tonight was going to be the biggest party this guys had seen in their lives. Still, Sean felt somewhat guilty that the man pulling the strings was not going to get to enjoy it.

"Do you guys know T?" He asked the closest black shirt
"Yes...play your cards right and you will too." The man replied.
Sean couldnt help but smile at the thought, "Hmm... tell him I said thank you."

Thomas turned to Fox and cocked his head to the side,
"It's not too late for that white van..." Thomas looked Fox dead in the eyes before bursting into laughter and playfully patting him on the shoulder,
"I'll pick it up in an hour, it's the end of the day anyway" Thomas winked at Fox and walked slowly back to the table, whistling as he walked, he was excited for the party and he wasn't hiding it, he sat across from Ava and smiled at her with genuine kindness

Fox chuckled uneasily at the joke. "Right..."
He followed, heading back to the table with his hands stuffed in his jacket pockets. Thankfully most of the milkshake was gone, though the table was a little sticky. He turned towards Thalia. "Thanks again. So, I guess I'll see you at that party?" He grinned lightly.
