Unsurprisingly, Alice felt horribly out of place tonight. She had never been one for parties to begin with and attending one for primarily for the upperclassmen was bizarre. It was almost as though they would soon all be adults with responsibilities and were no longer the baby faced children they once were. The thought frightened her into taking another sip of her spiked punch.

She was contemplating making a quiet escape when Sloane found her once more. "Maybe have some pumpkin juice instead," Alice suggested. Sloane was well beyond tipsy it seemed, which was a promise that tomorrow morning would be a challenge. "Lester was by the sofa of there a short while ago. I saw Cameron over there too, I think." It was Sisse Alice had lost complete track of. Merlin, this party was massive. "It's definitely a lively party."
