[ This is a party at the Vanderson Estate! Open to friends (or acquaintances...or enemies) of Alexis Vanderson and Price. Come at your own risk. On an OOC note, let's try to keep our replies relatively short to keep the nature of this thread light! ]
The Vandersons were doing it again. Well, two of them were. It was already late and people had probably already hung out, but a text went out to most juniors and seniors in high school, as well as anyone who liked to do drugs or who was hot in the college, and before long there was easily over twenty youngsters swaying their bodies to loud music, alcoholic drinks in hands, grinning, laughing, making out, and what have you. It was a Vanderson party. There was always the most expensive of everything, and always one or more illegal substances. Their estate was giant and well-known and anyone, virtually anyone, could just walk up and join in. Folks were still arriving.
"Make way for the king!" Price declared, ever the pompous ass, as he walked through the outside courtyard where most of the people were. A fire was going and the weather was only a little chilly, just crisp enough for a t-shirt or a light sweater, depending on the individual. Naturally, he was shirtless.
"You--" he pointed at a high schooler, "come give me a kiss."

Ellis D. should have stayed home. He got the text--he didn't even know whose number had sent the text to a group of 43 numbers, Bethany Locklear's included--and immediately put his phone down, telling himself not to go. Five minutes later, he was stepping out of his trailer and starting to walk to the Vanderson Estate. Some other party goers had picked him up on the road.
Seeing Alexis wasn't good for him. He wasn't over her. Or, maybe he was, but there was tension between them that made nearly every exchange awkward for everyone else. So why was he going to the party? Well, to see Alexis. And to help her, if the need arose. She made a total fool of herself at things like these, and Ellis D. knew there were plenty of guys waiting for it so they could take advantage of her. Not on his watch.
He slipped in quietly, keeping to the edge of the crowd like a wallflower. He wouldn't seek conversation, nor a drink. Instead he'd hover and watch, Alex Vanderson's personal guardian angel (or stalker).

Price might get on Alexis' nerves but he was pretty good at organizing a party and at the suggestion to throw one she had jumped at the chance. She was already two drinks in by the time the party was in full swing. She wore a slutty white dress that was nearly more straps than fabric and showed off her long legs. When more and more people started to arrive she shouted to anyone close by "SHOTS!!!"
As people gathered she sloppily poured tequila into a handful of mini shot glass sized Solo cups and took one herself before starting to hand them out, saving the last one for herself as well.
"To getting fucked up while we still can!" she called out a stupid toast before she took the second the shot.

A PARTY! Milo was never one to pass up on a rager. Drugs, alcohol, and lots of noise was exactly his kind of party and one thrown by the Vandersons was typically a rather excellent one. Was he actually friends with any of them? Not exactly. But he'd got the text so that was all that counted.
He had tried to stop by Ellis D and Bethany's place before he left but neither seemed to be around so he made his way to the party on his own. He arrived with a cigarette in his mouth and three rolled up joints of weed in his pocket that he fully intended to enjoy and share with others while he was there. As he entered he happened to be standing directly behind the girl that Price Vanderson had pointed to and he pointed to himself with a questioning expression and looked around as he thought Price might be talking to him.
"Me? Nah, I'm good man. Thanks though," he teased the older Vanderson kid as he moved deeper into the party.

Callie’s phone chirped to life with a text about a party at the Vanderson Estate, and she couldn’t help but grin. When it came to parties of this nature, it didn’t quite matter whether or not one had a personal relationship with the Vandersons; everyone wanted to be at any party they hosted. And once finalizing alibies and details, Callie was hopping in one of her friend’s cars and ‘having a sleep over’ or so her parents thought. Instead, Callie and one of the other girls took turns changing in the backseat. They couldn’t leave the house in appropriate partying attire without parents suspecting anything, so she always packed her actual outfit in her ‘overnight bag’.
Long, light brown curls where held in a messy ‘half up, half down’ style, mascara and a deep burgundy matte lip were the only make-up she opted the add. A lacey white corset top hugged her curves perfectly, paired with a blue plaid flannel and a pair of high waisted light wash jean short-shorts, and an assortment of necklaces and a few little rings made up Callie’s attire for the evening, finished off with her favorite pair of worn, white converse. She got out of the car and waved to a few friends off near the bonfire. Alcohol wasn’t her vice of choice, so she turned away the offer of a drink and simply made her way through the crowd and inside when she looked up at Price Vanderson ’s voice and realized her was speaking to her. Callie’s friend tried to pull her away and tell her to “just ignore him”, but she figured ‘fuck it, why not?’ without breaking ye contact she walked right up to him and pulled his face to hers, giving him a kiss and pulling back with a smile. “A king general gets what he wants after all, right?” She said with a coy smile, it wasn’t the first time she’d partied in the same circles as Price, but it was the first time she’d kiss him.

Delaney was only a sophomore and she had not been to a party quite like this before. She had debated not going but one of her friends, who was a junior, had practically demanded she come and after much convincing Delaney finally relented. She walked in looking clearly like she wasn't the most comfortable. She wore a cream knit sweater and light blue skinny jeans. She tucked her long, dark hair behind her ears and folded her arms across her chest as her friend heard a call for shots and dashed away, leaving Delaney all alone with a bunch of older teenagers.

Ignoring the dude, Price smirked at the Bartlett--he might not know her name but he knew a founding family member when he saw one--as she approached him. His friends closest to him started to whoop like morons, punching him in the arm and furrowing his hair. She closed in and set her lips against his, a pleasant surprise. Price returned the gesture, of course, snagging her around the waist with his arm.
"I have another place you can put your lips, babe," he murmured hotly against her hair, setting his top teeth onto his bottom lip afterwards and raking her form with his eyes as if she were a birthday cake. A very delicious one, at that.

Ellis D. rolled his eyes at Alexis' toast, but continued looking on with a slight frown, the picture of a disappointed father. His arms were crossed over his chest and he created quite a picture of a moody young man. His features softened, however, when he picked up on the smell of the sea. He turned his head to see Delaney Arquette and knew it was her. He'd smelled this here and there in the halls at school, but there was always too many people to determine exactly where it came from. Now, however, he knew. He'd been to the ocean once in his life, and it had left him breathless.

“Ooooh, now don’t be a tease.” Callie practically purred, enjoying the way Price Vanderson looked at her. But then again, she enjoyed attention in general. But something about attention from someone older, it just did more for her. She gave a nod to some friends and looked back to Price with a mischievous smile. “I don’t mind kissing so publicly, but anything else and I prefer a more private setting.” She said, definitely enjoying their proximity. Despite being at a lot of the same parties, this was the first time Callie had actually interacted with Price.

Kota had been at the party for a few hours, she was with three other heavy stoners locked away in a guest room sitting in the heavy clouds of smoke. They had already discussed some heavy topics, music had been listened to, and one time a dance off that could only be reflected on as a tribute to greatest dance off now. Between rolling and packing and smoking Kota had forgotten something to drink, which had grown into a wicked case of cotton mouth. She didn't drink so she turned down the offers of beer and shots deciding she should climb out of the room now Kota entered back into the main party, as she climbed down the steps she saw Delaney Arquette, "Delaney!"

Alexis laughed with the others who'd taken shots with her and as she set down her glass she spotted Ellis D. Youngblood in the crowd. She had missed his disappointed in her look but she did catch the way he was looking at someone else. Her head whipped to see who it was that he was looking at like that and after moving a little so she wasn't blocked she spotted a young teenager that she'd never seen at a party before. She didn't know her name but was pretty sure she was a sophomore or a junior.
Someone tried to talk to her but she didn't hear them, her focus entirely on what might happen with Ellis D and this random girl.

Delaney stood there awkwardly for a little longer when she suddenly felt eyes on her. She turned to see if she was just imagining it when she spotted Ellis D. Youngblood looking at her. Her first reaction was to blush as his attention and she looked down at her feet. She'd never spoken to him before but anyone with eyes could see how attractive he was. He was also two grades above her and that made her feel more nervous that he was looking her way.
After a second she decided to try to be more brave and look back up at him to meet his gaze, trying not to automatically look away this time. The look on his face was hard to read but it seemed pleasant enough, while someone looking slightly predatorial though she couldn't place why that was. Instead she tried to be more courageous as she gave him a shy smile in return.
It was then that she heard someone shout her name and looked up to see Dakota Bartlett. She exhaled a sigh of relief and her smile became a bit more confident at the sight of a friendly and familiar face. She glanced once more at Ellis D before moving her feet forwards to approach Dakota. "Hi," she said softly. "Have you been here for a while?" she asked.

Price's hold around Calliope Bartlett's waist was firm enough to keep her close but still something she could escape if she tried. He might have been a womanizer, but he wasn't a rapist.
"I would never tease a girl like you." He assured her, something serious an sultry entering both his tone and his eye, gaze flickering down to her lips. He hesitate, as if he was about to suggest they go somewhere private, but then a grin spread over his face and he said, "I'd hate to take you from the party so soon. Maybe later. But in the meantime..." the arm around her moved, making it easier for his hand to spread open and grab her ass, "how about another kiss? And I want tongue."

The casual grip Price had on her body was so enticing, and she’d be lying if she said she wasn’t interested in taking things further with him. He’s freaking Price Vanderson , what female with working eyes didn’t find him attractive? His response made her feel quite bold and desired, even if he followed with suggesting another kiss instead of whisking her away to a room. It’s wasn’t a direct ‘no’, plus he kept his hand on her body and moved to grab her ass. Callie bit her bottom lip, pretending to consider her options before giving a flirtatious smile. “Mmm, yes Sir.” Her words were near automatic as she ran a hand up his chest, swiped a thumb across his very nice jawline before the hand continued to behind his head and rested at the nap of his neck. Callie leaned up a little to press her lips back to his, this time parting them and meeting his tongue with hers. The heat that flowed through her body only served to excite her more. God, did she love a good party.
