Guys had asked her to dance and she kindly told them to fuck off. It wasn’t that she didn’t appreciate the offer. In fact, she was very flattered, but simply put, she wasn’t in the mood to dance. She needed to find her brother just so she could give him a piece of her mind when she noticed him at the balcony. However, by the time she actually reached the balcony, it was obvious that she was too late. He was gone. She only saw some chick gazing up at the stars. She didn’t bother with her and she went back to the party, hoping to find [i]someone[/i] of intrigue. Minutes passed as Ava zipped through one crowd of people to another, just hoping she might run into her brother. Of all the people she ran into, each and every guy that looked to be around her age had, at one point or another, asked her to dance or if they could get her a drink. It was getting exhausting and to be quite frank, she was about to explode. She didn’t really care about saving face at this point. Though, she knew the appearance of Ava Mossos, the good one, might be shattered. If she had even one more guy ask her something other than to do a repetitive activity with her or get her some kind of alcoholic beverage, she was going to lose it. After some time of wandering around, Ava found herself taking a brief seat at the bar. Her legs were killing her and she needed to get off of them for a while. She turned to the bartender. “[color=48d1cc]I’ll have whatever you’re serving on tap.[/color]” Ava stated, letting out an exasperated sigh. The bartender gave Ava a glass of some kind of beer, to which she started drinking. “[color=dodgerblue]You sure you’re old enough.[/color]” Turning her head, Ava nearly dropped her drink on the floor. It was fucking Alex. “[color=48d1cc]You motherfucker, where have you been?[/color]” She asked as low as she could, trying to not rip his head off. “[color=dodgerblue]]Exploring the party, of course.[/color]” Alexandros shrugged to his sister as he took a sip of his own drink. “[color=48d1cc]Oh yeah, I never would have caught that. And where did you go exactly?[/color]” “[color=dodgerblue]Around.[/color]” “[color=48d1cc]Around?[/color]” “[color=dodgerblue]Yes, around.[/color]” He always did this. Alex loved to play his games too much. She knew that he was having fun with it too because he generally had a playful, smug expression plastered all over his face. Not only that, but he purposely repeated what she said just to piss her off. And it was working. Ava scowled, kicking Alexandros under the table with the tip of her heel. “[color=48d1cc]Serves you right, jackass.[/color]” She heard him grunt lowly and she then would wield a triumphant smirk. Ava sipped her drink happily and set it down, briefly gazing at her brother who would greet her with one of his own. “[color=48d1cc]So, find anyone interesting?[/color]” “[color=dodgerblue]Mmm,[/color]” Alexandros hummed curiously, “[color=dodgerblue]I might’ve; no telling if she’s going to stick, though.[/color]” “[color=48d1cc]Oh come on now, Alex. I know you too well. If you’ve sought her out, she must be of some intrigue to you.[/color]” Ava casually stated, not even looking to her brother. She heard him sigh, though he probably thought she didn’t. “[color=dodgerblue]Her name is Audrey Huntsberg.[/color]” Ava turned around to Alexandros rather suddenly. “[color=48d1cc]Huntsberg? Oh, where have I heard that name before.[/color]” “[color=dodgerblue]Dr. Arthur Huntsberg, mother’s doctor. The one she went in for that consultation.[/color]” “[color=48d1cc]Right. That guy’s a dick.[/color]” Alexandros simply nodded, then chuckled. “[color=dodgerblue]Trust me, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree,[/color]” he stated as he got up. Ava did find it curious that, of all people, he would consider someone else to be a dick—or something like it—when he was one of the biggest jackasses that she had the displeasure of knowing. “[color=48d1cc]Must be some woman for her to get under your skin like that. I may just have to seek this one out and thank her.[/color]” Ava was kidding for the most part. Alexandros said nothing; he simply scowled lowly. He placed his drink onto the coaster and got up, looking at Ava. “[color=dodgerblue]Do try to socialize, dearest sister. I don’t care with whom, but don’t just sit here and drink alone. It’s unfitting of a Mossos, even if it’s you.[/color]” And there it was. Ava had been waiting for the belittling Alexandros to come out. Ava wanted to kick him again, but she decided against it. She knew it wasn’t worth embarrassing the Mossos name over. One of them had to be the adult here. She knew her brother wasn’t going to be. When Alexandros left, Ava would return to her drink. Though, as she would think about what he said, it irked her how he was probably right. As much as it pained her to admit it to herself, much less him, it was a tad pathetic for her to be sitting at the bar, drinking alone. In that moment, her mind was made up. She would go and seek out some company. It didn’t matter who it was—well maybe just a little bit— she would go and actually socialize with people other than herself. And, over the course of the next ten minutes, Ava did just that. Going from group to group, just scanning them from afar, she would see if any were worth interacting with. She saw a group of people who looked like some nerds. She definitely could fit into that group, but they looked just a tad pathetic for her. So obviously that was a no. Going about ten or so feet past them, she saw another group. They all looked like they were party animals of some sort. Surely she could strike up some kind of conversation with them, but she didn’t feel like putting on a facade just to get cozy with them. Plus, she definitely didn’t want to get high right now, so again that was no. Ava sighed as she found this to be hopeless. Maybe she wasn’t the type to socialize. Especially since she was so goddamn picky about who she wanted to talk to. It didn’t help that most of the people she saw were either too fake for her to handle or simply she didn’t get the right vibe from them. Though, as she would half-decide it in her mind to just call it quits, she accidentally bumped into a group of people. “[color=48d1cc]Geez, knock me over why don’t yah?[/color]” Ava groaned, nearly tumbling over some blonde. As she glanced at her and the rest of the group, she noticed that she might’ve made a mistake. The blonde in question appeared to be like one of those people who were too damn happy that it was sickening. She didn’t even speak and already Ava knew she was that kind of person. As for the rest of them, there was an Asian guy, some white dude and a couple of others that looked positively boring. Put on your happy face, Ava. These people don’t seem as unbearable as the rest of the party do. Gathering herself, Ava dusted off her dress and looked at the group before going straight to the blonde she nearly fell on. “Yeah so sorry about that. This isn’t necessarily my kind of scene.” Ava stated, giving a half-assed apology, “[color=48d1cc]so, uh, yeah, I'm Ava."[/color]”[/indent]
