He had promised Connor to help him with their innovations and math homework. The annoying part of it was that it had to be poolside as the swim team almost always practiced. As he strolled across the courtyard he smiled and waved at the people he knew from his classes and from the school paper, it was quite nice to be back at Ashbury. He arrived at the activity building and made his way to the pool, when he got there he saw that the team was already assembled. "Hey guys! How's practice going?" But before someone could answer him the door opened and Aspen entered with his usual smile telling them about the party he and Acacia was throwing later that night. So after sitting on the bleachers watching the guys swim and doing homework and trying to make sense of Connors notes, Nathan headed back to his room to get ready for the night. "Hey Brenden! Are you home?" Nathan shouted as he closed the door to their room. He heard his roommate make a noise from inside his room. After his shower Nathan looked at his reflection in the misted up mirror. This party is one of the major events of the school year, it has been since their sophomore year and the people who missed this would miss the opportunity to get great friends that'll probably last a lifetime. Fortunately for Nathan he gets to go there with some of his best friends already! He stepped out of his bathroom and started to rummage through his wardrobe to find something to wear. He finally settled on a shirt/jumper combo with dark brown pants. Just as he was checking his appearance one last time he heard a familiar banging on the front door. Connor, he thought and grinned as he rushed out to see Brenden talking with Connor in the doorway. “Oh, hello Connor. You’re here for Nathan right?” Brenden had nothing against Connor. His personality could be a bit much at times, but he wasn’t bad. He assumed they were headed to the party together. That was where just about everyone was going, after all. “So are you sure you don’t want to come with us? There’s still room in the car.” Nathan asked as he was putting on his jacket. Connor and Nathan said good bye to Brendan and set of downstairs to meet the others who were waiting in the lobby. While they were walking down the stairs Nathan noticed the muffled clinking erupting from Connor’s backpack. Nathan shot his friend a bemused look “Dude, how much do you have in there? Or rather how much have you had?” He asked chuckling “Just enough TO GO HAM!” Connor hollered loudly and made a pumping motion and filling his JAM can with vodka. Nathan scoffed and shook his head feeling glad he offered to be the designated driver. If he knew “the bro squad” right, things could get wild at this and he felt that someone should be in control and get them home safely. [hr] Nathan put his car in to park and turned the engine of and looked around, the guys had already worked their way out of the car and started ther assent to the mansion. He stepped out and locked the car looking up at the Hancock's getaway mansion. As he followed his friends he couldn't help but wonder how rich the Hancock family actually are. As their group stepped up on the porch he saw a familiar face standing in the light emanating from the open front doors it was Emilie talking to a guy Nathan had only seen around the courtyard, he was rather hard to miss with the startling red and black eyes. "Hello there Em! Glad that you came, see you in there yeah?" He put an arm around her and squeezed her shoulder "Hello nice to meet you I'm Nathan." He said and smiled at Korrie as he passed him. Nate followed the guys in to the mansion, he smiled as Connor announced his arrival. Nathan shrugged of his jacket and hung it on the wall and then looked around, to find Acacia he needed to thank her for throwing this party again. It took some time but eventually he found her refilling a bowl of chips, "Hey Ace!" He half shouted over the blaring music "How are you! How did first day go?" Nathan said while he embraced her "This is a success as usual." He said gesturing around at the laughing and dancing students.[/center]
