Cade decided to not go to any of the parties. He just decided to stay in his dorm room and hang out with Sophia. He felt awkward because he never had a girlfriend before and still hadn’t asked her out. She probably got bored and ended up wanting to go back to her dorm and do homework. Cade decided to call his friend Noah so they can hang out in his dorm.
“You still haven’t asked her out yet?” Noah asked, putting a dorito in his mouth. Cade scoffed and shook his head. He couldn’t help but laugh. “That’s rich coming from someone who didn’t have the balls to ask out Hazel, probably because you were too busy chasing after Maya like a lost puppy even though she rejected you like 300 times.” He laughed and put a dorito in his mouth.
“That’s not true. Hazel is into Elias. Besides…” Noah was going to say something else but looked off into the distance and started fidgeting.
“Are you okay bro? What’s wrong?” Cade asked, putting his hand on Noah’s shoulder.
“Well, Elias almost got shot by Alexander tonight but they took him to jail just in time. Jonas told me. My dad Drew was just there at Leo’s party asking Elias questions.”
Cade didn’t know what to say. All he could do was blow air out of his cheeks. “Are you serious? Is Hazel okay?”
“Yeah, she left the party with Elias…” Noah felt jealous deep down because now she really was going to fall for Elias. He probably shielded her from the scene. He even has a heartbreaking backstory now.
“Did you talk to your dad Drew?”
“No, but everyone is at the Lockhart mansion. Everyone except me. Probably because I’m my dad’s bastard child.”
“Whoa dude, don’t say that. I’m sure you didn’t get invited because you weren’t at the party. You were safe and sound dude.” He patted Noah’s shoulder but it didn’t make him feel any better.
“Now, wanna play a video game?”
