Well Sadde's been dropping hints all day, ball's in Theo's court now.

He starts making his way downstairs, where he left his backpack.

Theo follows, looks at Sadde again, but appears to decide not to make a move. "See you tomorrow," he says.

Sadde raises an eyebrow but doesn't comment. "See you," he says, and makes his way out.

Theo will shut the door behind him.

He will be present at school the next day, as is only to be expected.

And so will Sadde! Who will continue to fail to seduce Theo, but will seduce other people over the next few days, and re-seduce some old people (hi Matt), and not-seduce yet other people. And other than all the seducing there's the socializing, the becoming very good friends with one Willow Maxwell, and school, of course.

… And then there's news around the school that apparently Ev is throwing a party.

Lots of people are invited. Including Sadde.

Ooh party! When is it? She'll be there!

This Friday! Because, you know, wouldn't want people to be hungov– ahem, too tired for the next day of school.

So on Friday at the appointed time Sadde's there!

As is Willow!

The party seems to have already started with a few people! Ev opens the door, shows them in, and look – beverages, of assorted kinds, games, music, quite a few people are here already, snacks are available if desired, et cetera et cetera.

Mingling! Socialization! People! Woo!

Starting with: what beverages?

Well, there are various types of soda and carbonated drinks available – cola and such – or, hidden slightly away at the back, there are a few (or a lot of) alcoholic drinks.

Which. Obviously Ev didn't put there. Because that would be bad.

Must've been someone else.

But anyway! Woo, party.

Yeah no alcohol, thanks. And what people are there?

Matt appears to be here! He waves at Sadde – hi there, Sadde – and is currently talking to a couple of guys from school!

Sadde walks over there, grinning. "Hey, there."

"Hi!"

"Hey!" says Matt. As do Owen and John, who then get back to talking to each other.

"How're you enjoying the party?"

"I haven't actually been here that long!" he says. "It's going well so far, though."

"What food is there? I forgot to ask Ev and then was following him," she gestures at Sadde, "but I want party food."

"Snack stuff like chips? A few cheese twist things too, bits of food like that, and I think she's planning on doing, like, fries and pizza later?"

"Oooh!"

"...you could go grab some."

"Okay!" And off she goes.
