out of the spotlight | Chris Sturniolo

         After the premiere, she met up with Alie, Lauryn, and Jack. They had been looking for her for hours. She said she'd been busy with interviews and hanging out with someone.

           What she didn't tell him, was she was hanging out with Chris.

            "So are you not going to tell us what happened with Chris on the red carpet?" Lauryn asked, as Jack drove them to the after party in a different car so they wouldn't get caught by reporters. "Literally nothing," she lied. "It was just a friendly meet."
             "Shut up, Mai." Jack responded. "We saw the photos."
              "Maisyn Parker Champion if you don't tell us what happened-"
               "FINE ALIE! God, y'all suck." she laughed. "He basically said I was beautiful and that I couldn't stare at him the whole time we were taking pictures."
                "OKAY RIZZ!" Lauryn yelled. "Is he coming to the party? More importantly, is Matt coming to the party?"
                "Yes, yes, they are. I already invited them." Maisyn responded. "OH MY GOD, I'M GOING TO MEET NICK STURNIOLO IN PERSON." Jack tried not to seem excited, but it was obvious he was. Jack hadn't come out to the public yet, but the friend group was the first to know his sexuality. Actually- less sexuality, and more that he had a huge crush on Nick.
"Okay- shut up. just drive, Jackson."
Maisyn yelled at him.

Arriving at the party, it was already full. They were late. In fact, they were thirty minutes late because Jack ran out of gas. Walking in, Travis Scott's 'Goosebumps,' was blaring through the speakers of the house. Maisyn almost immediately grabbed a drink and chugged it. God, had she needed this.
Walking around, she looked for Chris, the only person she really cared about seeing at this party. Of course, she stopped to say hi to everyone, but no one really mattered but the one boy who called her beautiful two hours prior. She walked around the house, looking for Chris.
He was nowhere to be found.
She took 4 walks around the mansion and called him 4 times with no answer before she gave up.

Alie handed Mai a drink, her 6th one of the evening. It was clear. The girl was already fucked up. But it wouldn't stop her.
"I- I just don't understand why he would stand me up?" Mai said, slurring. "I'm literally so fucking hot."
"Damn right, you are."
Mai turned around to hear a familiar voice.

It was Matt.

"Hey, Matt," Mai said, standing up from the stair she was sitting on. "Where is your brother?" "Somewhere. We just got here, but I think he's talking to some other chick." Matt responded.
'Fuck him,' she thought.
"Hey, Matt." Alie said from her side, also standing up. "Want a drink?"
"Fuck yes, Alie. Thank you." Matt chugged his drink just as Mai did earlier while looking for Chris. Alie walked away, saying bye to the two. Mai smiled him, looking him up and down. "So- what makes you different from your brothers?" she said, almost screaming. It was loud in the house.
"Literally nothing, expect I know how to fuck around and have fun while also being responsible. Chris was never good at that." Matt responded. "And Nick, he's always too good of a kid to ever have fun period."
Mai laughed and slurred some words Matt couldn't understand. She kept laughing at herself.
"What'd you say, Mai?" Matt leaned down to whisper in her ear.
"I said- you look so fucking hot right now." She whispered into his ear aswell, giggling some more. He looked her up and down, smiling at her. "Thanks, beautiful- but you're Chris'. Don't forget that."
