Diana gasped as Cadence freaked out on Derek. What a bitch. Sure, she was drunk, but things were slipping through her mouth that made Diana steam with anger. The final straw was she insulted Derek and claimed he'd never live up to his family name. Diana knew that would cut deep into Derek. She was about to intervene before some other girls rushed in and did that for her. Slipping the car keys into her pocket, she quickly rushed down the steps along with the others.

"Derek!" She exclaimed as she ran up to him.

Diana looked at him then up in the direction where Cadence was escorted away and growled quietly. If she saw her again anytime soon, she'd be more salty than a pack of McDonald's french fries.

Turning back to Derek, a flood of words spilled out of her mouth. "Oh god, I can't believe she said those things and pushed you off the porch.. even if she was drunk, she was still acting like the worlds biggest asshole. Please don't take any of what she said to heart. Tonight has just been one big mess. Are you okay? Do you need a bandage anywhere?" She looked him up and down whilst walking around him, inspecting for any wounds. It was the motherly instinct kicking in again.

Diana giggled a bit as Harry clarified he meant sleep sleep, not sex. She, like Derek, thought he had been referring to sex. "I better be the one to drive us back," she stated. If Derek drove they'd likely be okay since he was only a tad tipsy, but it still wasn't the safest route. She didn't remain sober this whole time just to get hit on by a crazy girl and be crammed in the backseat again during the ride back.

She started wondering what the ride back would be like now that the others were drunk. Would Cadence make out with somebody again in the backseat? Probably. Would it be the same guy as earlier? Probably not. Would it be Harry? Probably not. Would it be Derek?

Diana looked over at Derek from the corner of her eyes.

Probably not.

She straightened up and turned to Derek. "Better start rallying up the kids before they have a hangover for the next three days," she said jokingly. "Who has the keys?"

Her eyes widened. She hadn't seriously expected Derek to say he'd been with Tabitha and gotten an STD. "Oh man, that sounds terrible," she said. As he told her about his tattoos, she thought that was interesting. "Oooh. You'll have to show me them sometime." She playfully nudged him. "You're pretty damn rebellious, you know that? You have some tattoos, you sneak out, and you also drink every now and then. Not to mention that whole thing you had going on with Cadence... that was just a mess."

Even though she'd only been around for a day, Diana felt like part of the crew. She was thankful they were open to taking her in. It definitely made her first day in a new town a lot easier. She looked over and watched the other boys as they drunkenly stumbled around, a little smile on her face.

Don't worry, it's ok! I understand :)

"Say, how did you know of her STD?" Diana inquired, looking over at him. A teasing smirk crossed over her lips. "Don't tell me you contracted it from her during a drunken one night stand." She chuckled. Part of her wanted to pity the girl for having an STD, especially at such a young age. She looked to be only about 16. But at the same time, given how whiny and forceful she was after only knowing 'Damien' for a little while, she had likely been the same way with many guys in the past. She simply reaped what she had sown.

"And no, I didn't drink. When I said I was going to be 'that sober friend', I meant it," she replied. Tabitha trying to drag her to the drinks table was a close call, though. It felt weird having a girl who thought she was a guy hit on her. Sort of like espionage. Cue the Mission Impossible theme song...again. Diana smiled a bit. All of this would definitely make for an interesting story to share with her future family and friends.

As Derek pulled Diana away from Tabitha, she could hear her yelling after them, "Call me sometime, Damien!"

Diana just laughed and shook her head. "She never even gave me her phone number," she muttered under her breath. Looking up at Derek, she gave him a thankful smile. "Hey, thanks for rescuing me from Miss Herpes, or whatever the hell she has. I'm too nice to leave someone hanging, especially when they try calling me out in front of a crowd. Talk about being put on the spot." She grinned and rolled her eyes at the memory. "Might've ended up with herpes myself by the end of the night if you didn't swoop in and say no for me. I owe you one."

She stuffed her hands into the pockets of her basketball shorts. The nighttime air had gotten a bit more crisp and cool since when they first arrived. Diana looked up at the stars as they strolled back to the others.

Tabitha and 'Damien' kept dancing for a little while until Tabitha complained, "I'm boredddd, let's get some drinks."

Diana hesitated. Virtually the only reason she came in the first place was to remain sober and keep an eye out for her friends. "Er, no thanks," she replied. Tabitha looked up at her with an innocent pouty face.

"But Damien..." she whined.

"Sorry," Diana replied simply. She was ready to leave Tabitha and rejoin the others. "I better go now, it was nice mee-"

"Noo!" Tabitha suddenly complained loudly. She clutched Diana's hand tightly to the point where it started to hurt. "I thought we had something," she said in a softer voice, still tipsy from drinks she had earlier. Louder again, she added, "I thought you were different from the other boys! You player!"

"Listen, you're drunk, you're overreact-"

"--I don't want to hear it!" Tabitha snapped, clutching Diana's hand even tighter and dragging her to the drinks table.

"My name's Tabitha, by the way," the blonde girl said as she led 'Damien' to the dance floor.

May as well make the most out of pretending to be a 17 year old boy... "That's a nice name," he replied with a smile. "I'm Damien."

Tabitha smiled back and moved her hand from Damien's wrist to his hand. She kept holding it was they both started doing their own dance moves. Her hand is sweaty.

Damien was surprised when Derek quickly swung buy to inform him of the STD. She has an STD? Oh fuck. Well, whatever. It's not like I was going to bang her anyway. Wait, how does Derek know about the STD? Bringing himself out of his train of thought, he twirled Tabitha. She seemed to enjoy it because she gave a little scream and a giggle.

In the jeep, Diana was squished to the side of the back seat as Cadence and her new boyfriend or whatever started making out. Ew, they're not even drunk yet and they're already on the way to vomitville. She tried looking out of the window to take her mind off of what was going on between the two but she could still hear smacking sounds and little moans which was incredibly disturbing.

When they finally parked, Diana was relieved to get out of the car. Almost right away a couple nearby girls looked over. "Hey, that one's new," a redhead spoke to her blonde friend within earshot of Diana. She flinched. They were definitely talking about her.

"Go talk to him," the redhead urged. "Finally a boy you won't have to climb up on to kiss!"

The blonde laughed and nodded. "Wish me luck!"

Diana kept looking the other way, pretending she wasn't hearing the exchange going on between the girls. That didn't stop the blonde from walking over and tapping 'Damien' on the shoulder. "Hey..." she spoke with a slight slur. Her breath smelled like alcohol. She was a couple inches shorter than Diana and chubby. Her hair was in two braids. She twirled one of them around in an attempt to be seductive. Diana turned to look at her as the girl continued, "I uh.. I saw you from over there.. you're pretty cute. Wanna dance?"

Before Diana could even open her mouth to reply, the blonde was pulling her towards the house by the wrist.

Diana crawled down the ladder and looked down as she approached the bottom of it. "Jesus, I don't think my insurance policy covers injuries obtained from purposefully jumping from a ladder," she pointed out with a little laugh. She hopped off and stumbled a bit upon impact, but was fine.

"Hey guys," she said, looking at the boys. She then turned to the girls and said in a silly, sly, low voice, "and hellllooo ladies." For extra affect, she winked as well. Obviously she was just playing around, though.

Diana noticed how Cadence was clinging to a new guy and glanced over at Derek to see if he was affected. Thankfully he appeared to be fine. Diana had to admit, she was surprised Cadence got a new guy so quick. She must be popular in this town, or at least likes having have a few guys into her at once. Perhaps to Cadence, guys were like some form of currency. The hotter they were, the better. The more she had, the better. She definitely liked flaunting them out in public.
