“You were rude to her, so you deserve everything and more." Nina voiced out. Hayes and his friends hang out at Mike's house. They had a lair where five of them hang most of the time.

“Why are you defending her? Is it because you're both on the same stupid team that's why you defend that fake ass bitch?" Austin asked, taking a drag of his cigar.

“First of all, smoking kills, and my team ain't stupid. Mila is the most real person you could ever find in Henry M. Gunn high school," she stated.

“Enough of the fake ass bitch, is there a party tonight?" Mike changed the topic.

“None that I've heard of," Austin answered.

“There is, actually." Hayes showed them a chat between him and Trisha, the school whore inviting them for a party at her house.

The issue about Mila and her drama was long forgotten.

“Hey, Naya." Willow greeted her.

“Hi Willow, she's up in her room." she directed.

“Okay, thanks," Willow added while climbing the staircase.

“Yo bitches, what's up!" Willow exclaimed as she entered Mila's room. Khalil was on the floor texting while Mila was doing homework.

“Nice to see you Willow." sarcasm dripped from her tone.

“I heard there's a party at Trisha's today," Khalil said.

“Today is Tuesday..." Mila shrugged.

“And, the first day back from summer break. It's her tradition to throw parties after the school reopens." he reminded.

“We are going, no buts Mila, live a little. Life's not about books, school, dance rehearsals, sleep, Netflix and chill, then food. YOLO, Mila, YOLO." Willow told her.

“Yes ma'am, I have no strength whatsoever to argue with you. By the way, since we are partying, what happens to Aaliyah?" she asked Willow.

“Well, she has a party and a sleepover at Kiera's, so she's covered," Willow added. She cared about her sister, though she wasn't super overprotective of her, she watched over her from a distance.

“ What time is the party tonight?" Mila asked.

“It's at 7 pm," Khalil answered.

“Okay, we'd pick you and Jake up at 7:30 pm, we're going late," Willow said.

“Alrighty, I'd better go get some rest before the party, see you later and dress sexy." he left the room and descended the staircase.

“See you later Naya." he bid her goodbye as he headed out to his car.

“Do you have everything?” Trisha squealed as she chewed her gum.

“Yes, we've got the punch, the bar is stocked with plenty of drinks, we've got chips, sour gummies, skittles, chocolate bars, water, and the songs have been chosen, so I guess that's it." Gloria, one of her subordinates, added.

“All right, then, we're ready to paaaarty!" Trisha yelled.

"And, by the way, the pool has been cleaned," Annie added.

“That's more like it, what time is it?” She inquired of no one in particular.

"It's 6 p.m.," Gloria replied.

"Come on, we've got to get ready!" Trisha gave the order.

"It's going to be a good night," she said to no one in particular.

“Naya, we're off to the party and we will be back late. Don't stay up, you need rest." Mila told her caretaker.

“Have fun and don't do what I won't do." she winked at the girls as they headed out.

Mila picked her grey jeep wrangler 2021 model. She parked it in front of the house for Willow to get in. If she was going to a party, she had to do that in style.

“Oh yeah, baby!" Willow exclaimed as they drove to Khalil's house. His house wasn't far from Mila's, but it wasn't a short walking distance either, so we could say it's kinda far.

“Khalil!" Willow called honking the horn.

“Enough, Willow." Mila scolded, but instead, she honked harder.

“Hi, Willow, hi Mila," Jake smirked while getting in the car.

“Jeez Will, do you want to burst our eardrums?" Khalil rolled his eyes at her as he joined his friends.

“Nice car Bennett." he praised.

“Thanks, Adam," she replied as she zoomed off to the party.

The party was in full swing when they got there. The house was filled up with a lot of upfront parking.

Music was playing from the house but it wasn't too loud as typical house parties were.

“She did well throwing a cool party," Mila suggested as they got off the jeep.

“Trisha throws only cool parties, at least that's the only thing she's good at." Willow chuckled as they walked in. Just as Mila thought, the inside of the house was extravagant. It reeked of money, but for now, it began to reek of alcohol and weed.

“Let's get something to drink," Willow suggested. Jake and Khalil had dashed off to only God knew where.

“Hi, please we'd like two mocktails to go please," Mila ordered.

“Coming right up, hot stuff." the bartender winked at her.

“Here's your drink Will." she handed over her drink as the doors opened revealing Hayes and his friends.

“Ah, the devil's incarnate made it at last," Mila smirked.

“Yhup and so did his minions." Willow chipped in.

“He cleans up real nice though, I compliment him for that," Mila stated.

“That he does, he looks yummy, I could eat him," Willow said as Mila stared at her friend as if she had grown two heads.

“Just when I thought I'd had enough of fakey -two-shoes, she shows up here." Hayes groaned loud enough for Mila to hear.

“Oh, don't worry you'd live...besides you've lived with yourself for the past 18 years, what could be worse than that?" Mila shaded as his face darkened.

“Watch it, Bennett," Mike chimed in.

“Oh come on Mikey, not you too. It's a Miller- Bennett thing, so you run along...shoo now." Willow added, making Nina and Natalie chuckle.

“There you are handsome." Trisha cut in glaring at Mila.

Willow dragged her friend outside for fresh air, as Hayes glared intensely at them.

“I could help you blow some steam off." she twirled her finger around her hair.

Mike, Austin, Nina and Natalie walked off in different directions.

“I'd love that very much." he slid his hand up her top as he grazed his fingers over her nipples, making her moan lightly.

She held his hands and led him up to her room as she locked the door.

“Now, where were we?" she pulled her top off making Hayes swallow hard.

“We leave you for two minutes and you're at it with Miller again?" Khalil said behind the girls.

“Oh hello to you too Adams," Willow added sarcastically.

“It's not my fault he hates me for no reason, besides it's fun getting under his nerves," she smirked.

What are we watching tonight?" Vanilla asked as she set the caramel popcorn in between them.

“We are binge-watching the resident, I heard it's a good show and there are a couple of hotties in there," Kiera suggested.

“It's actually a good show, I've watched bits of it and it's great," Aaliyah added.

“Alright, the resident it is," Vanilla stated as she pressed play on the remote.

“Dr Okafor and her so-called Mentor, Dr Austin make a good team and will make a good couple," Kiera said swooning.

“Dr Pravesh is soo, handsome. Look at his nose and dimples." Aaliyah fangirled.

“Conrad, and Nic...get back together already!" Vanilla exclaimed as they burst into uncontrolled laughter.
