Pre-partying
Lexa was in the library, reading her notes from Dr. Kane's class. Even though he sent them his own notes, word was he always asked on tests about what he said in class, so she really appreciated that Octavia took notes for them both, although her handwriting was undecipherable most of the time.
More like all the time. She took a picture of the paragraph she was reading and sent her another text:
The incredible agony of mankind?
The reply came quickly
The immense amount of artists. lex u nver understand a word lol
Lexa sent her another photo:
I swear it, this can't be English.
Therefore, sexism derivates from patriarchy. u rlly cnt read my hndwrting after all this yrs?
It's not my fault, I swear I don't know how teachers can read your essays.

btw u ready 4 the party 2nite?
Lexa stared at her phone for a while, she really felt like staying home and binge-watching Netflix, so she had to think of an excuse. She began to type
I don't think I can make it, I think I'm getting sick
Octavia arrived and snatched Lexa's phone from her hand.
*You've really got to stop doing that*
Octavia smiled and whispered
"And you've got to stop making up excuses, Lex."
Lexa sighed
"Do you want to talk to that Veronica girl or not?"
Someone shushed them and Octavia rolled her eyes, Lexa raised an eyebrow not understanding so Octavia signed
*Someone just shushed me*
Lexa smiled mockingly as Octavia took her notes from her. Lexa tried to grab them, but the other girl had already stood up and started walking towards the library's doors.
*Come on, O, let me study*
*It's almost ten o'clock, Lex. You've studied enough. Now, let's get you dressed up*
Lexa pouted, but Octavia kept walking and she eventually followed her.

Clarke looked at her phone, Bellamy had just texted her
Party @ Monty's. 12.00. Don't be late.
She smiled. Monty's parties were always the best.
Ding. Another text from Bellamy.
Who am I kidding. You're gonna be late.
She rolled her eyes and walked into Raven's room, she was rehearsing, as usual.
"You coming to Monty's?"Clarke asked
Raven nodded and kept playing. Clarke checked her phone again.
"Bell says he'll pick us up at 11.30"
Raven stopped playing once the piece was over and left her cello on the floor
"Then you better start getting ready or we'll be late"
---------------------
Two hours later, Octavia and Lexa arrived to the party. The floor vibrated with what Lexa supposed was the beat of a really loud music. She walked hand in hand with Octavia until they found a group of people they knew from college.
"LEXAAAAAAAAAAAAA" a drunk Lincoln hugged her, almost making them both fall to the ground and causing Lexa to giggle. She shyly smiled to the rest of the group, there were two girls she didn't know and five other people she did know from the only other party she'd attended.
She finally took Lincoln off her, he offered her a drink while introducing her to the two girls she didn't know
"That's Emori" he pointed at the shortest girl "and that's Anya"
Octavia spelled their names to Lexa, who barely understood what Lincoln said due to his slurring. She took the drink he'd offered while introducing herself. She smelled the glass and gave it to Octavia so she could do the same
*Vodka?*
Octavia nodded and smiled when Lexa drank half the cup and smiled as well. Suddenly, the music stopped. Lexa furrowed her brow when people started yelling in protest and pointing at the door.
"What the...?" Octavia tried to see what was happening, pushing people around, and laughed when she did see it.
"I'm sorry, yeah I know...shit...Ok yeah...SHUT UP I KNOW I UNPLUGGED THE DAMN THING" the girl who'd just walked in kneeled and plugged the amplifier again, the music returned as loud as before.
Her companions, a boy and a girl laughed while they made their way to the kitchen to get something to drink
"Dude, you sure know how to make an entrance"
"Shut up, Bellamy. The damn wire was there, it's not my fault"
"Clarke, it was three feet away from the damn door, how could you step on that?" Raven kept laughing
Clarke grabbed a plastic cup of sprite vodka "You're the worst"
