At Victoria's house...
"Ok, at least we got math covered," says Cameron as he stares at his math book.
"Tell me about it," says Leonard.
"By the way, I heard from Peggy that Liana and Sam will be going out as a couple for Shannon and Peter's wedding," Alyson says.
"Woah, that's fast," says Victoria as she continues to look for her science book. "Is it just me or is this wedding thing happening faster?"
"Time flies, I guess," says Cameron.
"Yeah...I think Liana and Sam will look cute together," says Leonard.
Meanwhile, Sam had just dropped Liana off at her place...
"Thanks for the ride home, Sam," says Liana as the two are now standing in front of Liana's big mansion gates!
"No problem," says Sam with a cheesy smile. The two stare into each others eyes for a while, before Liana breaks the silence.
"So..do you wanna come inside and meet Jamie?" Liana asks as she continues to think about ways to keep the conversation going. She can't lie that she feels she could be pretty good friends with Sam.
"Hell yeah! He's gonna love me like a big bro," says Sam with a small laugh, in which Liana end up bursting out small giggles.
"Ok, let's go," says Liana before she rings the bell of her gates.
At Liam's house...
Liam is scrolling through his Instagram while listening to some of his favorite songs on Spotify.
"Damn, I need a date for the wedding," Liam says to himself
Just when he was scrolling, his attention was caught by a photo posted by a familiar blonde girl. The girl had posted a photo of a vase of flowers.
"#beautyinavase" wrote the girl on her caption.
Liam gave the photo a like before he starts to focus on her username. He clicked the username to open her profile, and scroll through some of the other photos she posted.
Catherine Paddington...she's an elegant beauty. Liam thought.
7:30 PM...
Patrick had just finished tyding his books. He's gonna take a shower in a few minutes, when he heard his phone rings. He walk over to his desk to check out who was calling. He was a bit surprised to know who was calling. It was Lindsay.
"Hey Linds." Patrick picks up the phone.
"Hey Patrick! Are you busy? There's something I wanna ask you," says Lindsay in her usual sweet voice.
"Sure, what is it?" Patrick ask.
"So I know that Shannon and Peter's wedding is just around the corner, and I thought it would be nice if we go there together. I mean, you look like a nice guy. I thought it would be a nice company if we go there as a pair. What do you think?" Lindsay ask.
Patrick thought about what he just heard for a while. He had to admit, he did found Lindsay quite attractive the day he approached her in the ladies room. Honestly, at first he was just trying to forget the fact that someone had just pranked him into thinking that he had received a bunch of love letters from Scarlett. Yet, thinking about it now, he felt that he could use a beautiful friend for his company, not to mention that he often feels lonely most of the time. And to add, Lindsay is one of the most popular girls in school, and is known for her good reputation. Patrick thought it wouldn't hurt to go to the wedding together.
"Of course! Sounds awesome," says Patrick with a smile.
"Great! Thanks, Pat! Can't wait to see how cool you look," says Lindsay. "I bet you'll look awesome in anything!"
"I should be the one saying this to you! Oh Lindsay Blake, you are extremely so beautiful," says Patrick with a smile, little did he know that his cheeks are starting to blush a deep shade of red.
"Aww..thank you, Patrick! That's so sweet," says Lindsay with a sweet tone. Her cheeks are also starting to turn red. "So I'll see you at the wedding?"
"Yes, I can't wait for that day," says Patrick with a small shy smile.
The day of the wedding...
"Damn! Tiffany really has a golden voice," says Sabrina as she continues to watch Tiffany and Scott performing their duet of "Versace On The Floor".
"I'll say, and Scott's doing pretty well too," says Alexis.
Shannon and Peter are busy chatting with their families and friends, while the other teenagers are busy minding their own business. Some are too busy finishing their food, while others just dance the night away with a glass of champane like there's no tomorrow. Some of them even drank too much.
"Ahh that's good," Sam almost shouts at his words after finishing his 5th glass of champane. He was starting to feel tipsy.
"I know, my head is already dancing by itself," says Liana who is now very tipsy. "Wanna go and hit the dance floor?" Liana asks as she saw Leonard and Peggy who just danced their way pass them.
"Sure," says Sam in a badly drunk tone.
Liana takes Sam's hand, and the two walk to the middle of the dance floor. Though both of them are badly tipsy, they still manage to bust some simple dance moves.
"Are they drunk?" Alyson asks Carter.
"Obviously," says Carter before he takes a sip of his mineral water.
"And you're not having a drink for tonight?" Alyson ask, before grabbing a random cupcake from the dessert table.
"I already had a glass. I think that's enough for tonight," says Carter casually.
After 15 minutes of dancing...
"Ughh.." Liana starts to feel more and more tipsy.
"You ok, Li?" Sam ask as he holds her shoulders.
"I'm cool. Just kinda dizzy," says Liana as tries her best to look fine. "Excuse me, I need to go to the ladies room."
"I'll walk you there," says Sam.
"No thanks! You just stay here, I'll be back in a little while," says Liana before she walks to the ladies room in a tipsy manner.
Meanwhile...
"That was an epic performance," says Cameron to Tiffany and Scott who had just finished singing all the songs on their parents wedding playlist.
"Thanks, Cam! Man, it's a good thing I've been singing since I was younger. I didn't know there would be 5 more songs after "Versace On The Floor"," says Tiffany before she takes a sip of her red wine.
"Yes! But I thought we were pretty good," says Scott.
"I'll say, you guys were great! Everyone seems to really love it," says Cameron.
"Haha, thanks Cam," says Tiffany.
"Yeah, thanks Bro! Glad to be able to perform on the same stage with Tiff," says Scott, as he slowly puts his right arm around Tiffany's waist.
You gotta be kidding me. Tiffany thought as she rolled her eyes at Scott.
"Hey! If it isn't our lovely duo," says Liam as he approaches Tiffany and Scott. He was followed by Catherine walking beside him.
"Looks like we're not the only duo around here," says Scott with a small smile.
"Hahaha, did you two danced together while we were jamming?" Tiffany ask.
"Well, we did once," says Catherine in a casual manner.
"Didn't know Miss Paddington here has quite the talent," says Liam as he wraps one of his arms around Catherine, though Catherine didn't seem to respond to it.
"Oooh," says Tiffany with a smirk.
Meanwhile...
Sam had just finished his second glass of red wine. He is now feeling more drunk than ever. His eyes are starting to feel blury, and his steps are starting to get messier and messier.
Damn. Sam thought..
Just when he was busy dealing with his now bad headache, a girl with dark brown hair came walking to him out of his expectation. He really didn't expect her to come walking to him in an also drunk manner, more insanely, this girl is literally one of Liana's close friends.
"Drunk and lonely?" the girl ask as she plays with her hair while standing next to Sam.
"I'm rock and roll," says Sam as he tries to take a good look at the girl. Well, one thing for sure, tonight she looked like a woman more than a girl. She is wearing a black mini dress, complete with white heels, giving her a sophisticated look.
"You look like hell," says the girl as she place both her hands on Sam's cheeks. Sam's cheeks began to burn a light shade of pink.
"You're sarcastic, G," says Sam with a sassy voice.
"And you're taking my breath away," says Gina as she starts to lick her lips in a seductive way.
Meanwhile, Victoria and Peggy are watching Sam and Gina flirting with each other from a far...
"That Sam guy really can't stay away from ladies for too long," says Victoria as she watches the couple with a dull look.
"Liana's gonna be so mad," says Peggy with a worried voice. "I can't believe Gina would do that!"
"Yeah, that's insane of her," says Victoria as she continues to watch. "By the way, where's Leonard?"
"He's talking with Carter and Alexis for a while. They're talking about Carter finishing his first book," says Peggy, before she takes a sip of her orange juice.
"Oh no, I think saw Liana coming," says Victoria.
Liana walks through the ballroom in a tipsy manner. Her hair is now tied up into a messy ponytail. She had just finished throwing up for 20 minutes in the bathroom. As she slowly walks back to Sam, she was surprised to see he was busy flirting with her best friend (or should she say now ex best friend), Gina Martinez.
"What are you guys doing?" Liana ask in a tipsy voice. She was starting to feel furious at both her date and ex best friend.
"Babe, we're just talking," says Sam as he now sounds more drunk.
"Talking, Li! What else do we like?" Gina ask as she puts her arms around Sam.
"Well, have fun," says Liana before she walks away now in fury. Somehow, looking at Sam and Gina together made her feel jealous in a way. She felt betrayed by Gina for flirting with her date, but she's more upset with Sam for literally flirting with her while she was in the toilet. Well, on other hand, she can't really get too mad. They're just dates for the wedding, and she assume Gina was probably just another lonely chick looking for attention.
Drunk and sad, Liana decided to take a seat at an empty chair, little did she knew that Arthur is standing next to it, as he continues to chat with Tyler.
"Liana?" Tyler calls out her name as his vision now moves to her who is sitting on the chair with her eyes closed. Arthur moves his head to see her, and is quiet surprised at her state. She looked weak.
"Are you ok?" Arthur ask in a worry tone.
"I'm fine, boys! Just very dizzy," says Liana as she puts her hand on her head.
"Where's Sam? I thought he was with you," Tyler ask.
"Busy making out with Girl Martinez," says Liana as her voice starts to sound sad.
"Damn you, Kashiwagi," says Arthur. "I'll drive you home, ok? You look very weak."
"No thanks! I can go home," says Liana in a weak tone.
"No you can't! You're weak, it could be dangerous," says Tyler. "You want me to help you out, Art?"
"No thanks! I got her! Just tell Tiff and Scott that I'll be leaving earlier with Liana," says Arthur as he carries Liana from the chair.
"Sure, Bro," says Tyler. "Take care, Li!"
"Yups," says Liana in a messy tone.
As Arthur walks through the ballroom while carrying a drunk Liana, everyone soon has their attention on them. Candice looked worried about Liana, though she decided to not approach Arthur since she assume he was busy, while Lindsay just stares in confusion of her ex boyfriend carrying her drunk best friend.
"Damn, I can't believe Sam and Gina would do that to Li," says Sabrina as she approaches Candice who is still staring at Arthur as he finally leaves the ballroom door.
"How did that happened?" Candice ask.
"Well, I did saw Liana in the toilet for a while. She was throwing up. I asked her if she was ok, and she told me she was fine, but just a bit drunk. I assumed Sam and Gina must had a little "fun" when she was in the toilet," says Sabrina before she takes a sip of her champagne.
"Wow, that's terrible," says Candice with a worried voice. Though she was literally planning to ask Arthur to dance with her, she knew he was taking care of her friend who really needs it.
Meanwhile...
"1, 2, 3," says Patrick as he twirls Lindsay around. The two are in the middle of dancing, as Patrick teaches Lindsay some steps of waltz.
"You have talented legs, Patrick! I could be like a princess dancing with you," says Lindsay with a small giggle.
"You are a princess, Linds," says Patrick as he stares at Lindsay with dreamy eyes.
Lindsay gave him an elegant smile as she stares into him. Patrick really had been her mood-booster since her break-up with Arthur and her drama with Arianna. Though he had always been sweet to her, and even helped her gain her confidence back, she is now staring at him still confuse with her own feelings. Is she in love with him, or does she only enjoy the kindness he gave her? Does he really love her? Or is he just feeling lonely after the misunderstood situation he had with Scarlett?
Patrick stares back into Lindsay's eyes. He had to admit that he loved how gentle Lindsay is and that she is very wise in giving him advice about love and life. He love how she would always be there for him and gave him the best sweet words. Yet, deep down, he knew he was just trying to run from the pain of thinking he was in love with Scarlett. He knew he was only lonely, but what does Lindsay feel? Is she also lonely after the break-up with Arthur? Or is she ready to love again?
10 PM...
Tiffany walks back to her hotel room, since Shannon and Peter had agreed to stay at the hotel after the wedding. They also booked two rooms for Tiffany and Scott, just so they could also feel the "wedding vibe" for the night. To her surprise, the door was already open, and inside was none other than her step-brother who was lying down on her queen size bed.
"What the hell, Scott? How did you get in?" Tiffany ask.
"Same question as when we first met," says Scott in a husky voice. "I like remembering the memories."
"I'm sleepy, just get out of here and go sleep in your room," says Tiffany as she jumps on the bed.
"I think there are some things we're better at than singing," says Scott as he spoke into her ears gently.
"What is that?" Tiffany ask in a sleepy yet grumpy tone.
Slowly, Scott starts kissing her ears, which eventually leads down to her neck. Literally a little drunk, and since she was too lazy to slap his face, she decided to let him do all the work, before taking turns and returning the kiss all the way down to his chest. They continue the long night together.
Meanwhile...
Arianna had been waiting for a taxi to get her home. Her abuela will probably get furious if she knew she stayed out this late, but well, she needed to get back. As she waits outside the hotel for a cab, George approaches her.
"If this night is not forever, at least we are together." George starts singing the lyric to Alan Walker's "Alone".
"I know I'm not alone," Arianna continues to sing the song with a sarcastic smile. The two ended up singing for a while, before they end up laughting at each other.
"You know that waiting for a cab can really suck at night. So how about I'll drive you back to your house, and promise that I won't make a u turn? George lets out what's on his mind in the smoothest way.
"Sounds fun, Martinez! Let's hit the wheels tonight," says Arianna in a happy tone.
George lets out his hand in a gentleman posture to seduce Arianna. Arianna takes his hand with a big smile, and the two starts running to George's car.
11:30 PM...
"Ahhh do you have to go back?" Scarlett whines while sitting on her bed. Vincent had agreed to drive her home since she was badly drunk after getting into a drinking contest with Tiffany, Alexis, Alyson, and Tyler.
"I have so much work to do tomorrow! I have to finish all of them," says Vincent as he continues to button his shirt.
"Yeah right! We can skip whatever homeworks," says Scarlett. "Just ten more minutes! Please?"
"Oh great!" Vincent thought to himself. She just made him one to change his mind, though he knew he had other things to finish.
To be continue......
