“Awww, is our little baby tired,” Kels says jokingly, and I snort softly in reply to her teasing.
“Well, your parents look a bit tired too, so I guess it runs in the family,” she says softly. “It was great to see you again girl, say thanks to Max from me again for planning all this,” she continues as she whispers it quietly in my ear.
I turn my head to hide any expression from everyone at the table. I didn’t want anyone to assume anything that Kels had whispered to my by inferring through my facial expressions. So it was Max that was behind all this. I had partially thought it might’ve been Izzy just for the reason that she’s my roommate. But then, I suppose that she was the one behind the present. She wouldn’t do both the planning of the present and the planning of bringing my family and friends down.
“Not a baby anymore,” Max’s unmistakable voice cuts into my quiet pondering, and I find myself turning to see the smile I could hear in his tone. “She’s still the youngest, but she’s officially an adult now.”
“I was officially an adult three years ago,” I say, still resting my head on Kels shoulder. “Now I’m just an adult that can legally drink and purchase alcoholic beverages.”

I smile and nearly laugh at Liz's correction. "Point taken, although that does count for something."
Dispite the fact that she's leaving 'early', she seems to have had a really good time. Whatever's bothering Maria seems to be not too serious, 'cause Liz doesn't look very distressed, merely sympathic.
"I think I'm ready to go, too. How about you, Tess?" I ask.

I turn to Isabel. "What about you? do you wanna leave? And you wouldn't actually have something against headache with you, would you?"
Hopefully, she has because the numb feeling around my jaw is slowly getting annoying and I'm not having anything against it with me. Also, this might her forget about what Kels told me. Knowing her (or well, more like knowing me) I fear I can't withold the thruth from her for much longer.

“What about you?” Alex asks, and I turn to see him regarding Izzy with a gentle smile. “Do you wanna leave? And you wouldn’t actually have something against headache with you, would you?”
“Oh,” I say as I retrieve the small vial I offered Maria. “I’ve got some ibuprofen,” I offer Alex as I hand the vial to him. “Anything for the white knight of the evening,” I say to him with a smile. “It’s an old habit, carrying ibuprofen with me. It seems to be paying off tonight.”

I turn to Liz when I hear the word "ibuprofen" with a hopeful expression.
“It’s an old habit, carrying ibuprofen with me. It seems to be paying off tonight."
I barely contain a happy moan at the prospect of a pain killer, ignoring her teasing comment about knights in shining armor. "Thank you,Liz. You're my hero tonight." I state as I take the offered medicament.
"So, what else do you girls carry around with you in your bags?" I ask Liz, trying to peek into her bag and also glancing at the ones that the other ladies around me are carrying around all the time.

Alex starts trying to peek into the girls' bags and I have to think that's a very bad idea.
"I think you better keep your nose out of there if you don't want an even better reason to need the pain-killer." I'm laughing as I say it, but I'm really very serious.
*Michael*
I see Maria come out with Liz and of course I notice that she looks miserable. Well, thankfully that's not my problem any more. Let somebody-else sort out her psychotic mood-swings.
"Well, I'm sure as hell not going home yet. The night's just started," I tell the group. "Who else here is ready to party?"
Max-the-wimp has already backed out and I'm sure aspirin-boy will do the same. Kels and Maria are going back to the house, but maybe Isabel will be a grown-up and we can hang out for a while.

Pushing my hand to my forehead, I attempt to think positively and push away all the negative thoughts that are screwing up my aura. Calm blue oceans, a beautiful forest, baby animals and oh crap, Michael just looked in my direction and from the look on his face it would really seem like I’ve blown it big time with him.
Oh hell.
I shake my head, must stay positive. I’m an independent woman. I don’t need no man, especially one like Michael Guerin.
“I think I’m going to head back to the house as well,” Isabel says, tossing her blonde hair behind her shoulder. “I’m in the mood for a pedicure!”

I refrain from making a teasing comment about girls and pedicures and girls bonding over pedicures. You do not joke with Isabel Andersons about such stuff. At least not when you value your safety.
Hm, maybe she is doing this to get a little bonding time with the girls, especially Maria.
"Fine by me, your chaffeur will be ready." I make a slight bow in her direction, wincing slightly when my head hurts a bit more when I straighten up again.
"Are you two staying here?" I ask Kyle and Michael who haven't said much so far.
KYLE
I shrug at Whitman's question. "Not sure yet. The night is still young." I glance around the room and scan all the women here. Who knows, maybe I won't be leaving alone?
But that wouldn't go well with Isabel, I fear and might put a damper on our date. I guess I should start thinking about where we are having said date. Damn, I better not stay too long here.
"Guess I'll be going back to the house too." I mutter.

Kyle's going, too? What is this? A kindergarden class? "Then I guess I'll party on my own," I tell them. "Just leave me a car. I'll borrow your jeep, Evans," I say, holding out my hands for the keys.
"What? Forget it," he says. "We'll leave you the van."
I grit my teeth together. How am I gonna pick up a chick if I got that dumb van? I want to call him a jerk, or something much stronger... but I pretend to be practical. "I don't need that many seats for just me," and maybe a special friend, "but if you're all heading back you might need it."
"No, we're good," Max says. "Between my jeep and Alex's car, we got room for everyone. Kyle, you got the keys for the van for Michael?"

I shouldn’t be surprised that Michael is so willing to be left behind. He probably can’t wait to start stalking some poor girl and having her fall for one of his charming one-liners.
“Are you seriously going to stay here by yourself?” Isabel asks him and I resist the urge to roll my eyes. She glances towards Alex and says, “Maybe we could stay a little longer to keep Michael company.”
Oh, please tell me she did not just say that. I must be hearing things. I really hope that I’m hearing things. Why would Isabel offer to stay unless…unless she has a crush on Michael and now that he’s not interested in me she is making her move.
Oh my God, poor Alex. And poor me too!
My head continues to pound and I wonder when those painkillers are going to kick in. I could really do with them knocking me around now.
