God damn it.[/color][/i] If things weren't problematic enough already, now Mara had to navigate the party so she could stop Diablo from doing “diablo things”. Which, if you asked anybody who knew him was borderline impossible. It was right up there with trying to stop Bea from being direct and eccentric. Mara knew she couldn't babysit her best friend forever, but she had to try while they lived in the same zipcode. She wondered where the hell Jun was during this whole endeavor, but he had always treated Bea like she could handle herself and convince her to do dumb things. It was times like this where she wished it was still the 2nd Grade back when Bea would listen to her. She couldn't count how many times she had warned her about Diablo Fernandez. But maybe she was worrying all for nothing? Maybe, Bea was just having a conversation and Diablo wasn't going to play games. It was a long shot, but it was possible. After all, even demons have to take a day off. As she shelved the thought she found herself going from room-to-room, asking random partygoers if they had seen Diablo. Eventually, she found herself pointed in the right direction and saw exactly what she had been worried about: Diablo doing Diablo things. In what felt like seconds, Diablo kissed her best friend before uttering some words and walking off. She felt her blood boil and she started walking faster to catch up with Bea. What kind of impression did that leave Bea with? Doing what he did? And why the hell didn't Bea tread carefully when interacting with such an abhorrent piece of human garbage? If she wasn't careful she was going to have some harsh words for both parties involved. It was one of the reason's she hated these kind of parties and why she didn't trust the sort of people attracted to them barring very few exceptions. Taking a light breath she tried to compose herself before she sent out another text message.

Not at fucking all. [/indent]
