[indent] "[color=#F0C462]Last chance huh?[/color]" Said Kate, golden hour, September 7. Kate sat there, hugging her knees as she sat on the hood of her car, overlooking the beach of Santa Monica. At least, she was not alone, she was with her friends some of which she had met on the streets of LA on her way here. "It's never usually the last of anything Kate." Said one of the guys, Kate smiled as she looked over the group of misfits that have gathered here today. This was the life, but of course, it would not last long. Kate enjoyed herself at the very least, and sometimes it was usually all in the moment. Hours of laughter and bonding have passed, and Kate did not want this day to end but life does not work out that way. 

Once the new day had arrived, she said goodbye to those who lived in LA and started her drive back to Brooklyn along with her friend who she brought along from the start. Her phone buzzed, in big caps letters it wrote "DAD." She took her phone and pressed it between her ear and her shoulder since she was driving. "[color=#F0C462]Before you say anything, I'm on my way back. Oh, uh... Good morning too Dad. Yeah, I know it's a long drive, I'll be there before you know it. I'll see you soon.[/color]" She hung up and continued her drive, continuing the exchange of stories with her friend. 

The drive definitely did not feel long at all, even though it was a 42 hour drive (not counting the breaks and stop overs). Kate arrived back home, she was immediately greeted by a playful hug by her dad who hid behind the door as soon as he heard her pull up into the garage. Kate hugged him back and exchanged their pleasantries. She even got him a T-Shirt that read "Best Weed Dad." His father said that he loves it before he vowed to never wear in public. Her mom was not home yet, and she liked it that way; she gave her dad a quick pat before returning to her room, she was greeted by a lot of boxes and a whole lot of luggage. She collapsed on her bed for a good nights sleep before she left in the morning. 

Morning arrived and her luggage was already gone, she got ready and ran downstairs, her dad had already readied his SUV with all her stuff inside. She saw a glimpse her mother in the living room and knew she had to say goodbye. She walked up to her mom who looked up at her, they awkwardly smiled at each other but it did end in a nice wholesome hug, that was rare but she hoped it would be the norm. They then went off and drove to the airport, Kate got on her flight and waited for what was to come.

[sub]8:21 AM[/sub][/center]

Kate awoke to sensation of something warm and vibrating on her face, it was her phone, she must have fallen asleep holding her phone again, she accidentally opened the front camera and saw her zombie face before closing it immediately.. She sat up and looked around, her roommate Calla was probably still asleep, so she did not want to bother her. She looked out the window and she could see people already getting wild with music in the background. She moved to the bathroom, took a shower and got herself ready. She dressed in this [url=https://images.summitmedia-digital.com/female/images/2018/07/23/07232018_OP_Liza.jpg]outfit[/url] before grabbing her essentials and dipping out of the room. She must have spent a lot of time getting ready because it was 9:30 when she came out. Kate was not about to deal with people without a coffee.

She had a quick walk to the comfort cafe to order one of their absolutely divine mocha brews. When that was done, she made her way back to the Alexandrina to see what was going on. Coffee in hand and sunglasses on, she walked to the festival entrance, to see why everyone was crowded around this one little point. She squeezed past through the people, careful to not spill her coffee to see what was going on. She saw the list of students who have are known as 'The Elites' and she scanned through it, she saw Mia first before even seeing herself. The photo Ms. Fortune picked for her was pretty good, she can't say much for everyone else though. "[color=#F0C462]... Plan B? Sounds pretty cool.[/color]" She was already ready to take that name as her own, it did not seem like it was going to take much for people to start calling her- [i]Buzz![/i] She felt her phone in her pocket and saw a message notification from Mia, she read it and sent her replies.

The text was rather recent, so it was either Mia saw it just now or she just forgot to tell Kate about, but either way Kate was shooting her shot to see Mia again, it had been awhile, especially since they do not live in the same area at all. She looked around, standing on the tips of her toes just to see if she could find her friend, but everyone around her was so tall, especially with Kate being the 5'5" mess that she was she could not for the life of her see anyone, and she did not have the best eyesight either. She pulled herself away from the crowd, standing a good few metres away from everyone else, she took a swig of her coffee before sending a follow up text.

Mia was definitely close, she just didn't know where...
