"I'll take it" they shake hands making a bet on their kid.

With Reggie in his car Garret drives to Porter's house trying very hard not to sweat through his new clothes. "Brea Reynolds will be there tonight?" Garret shrugs, "I hope she is, she's so hot Gar I think I'm gonna talk to her."


"Brea Reynolds? Can you handle that? She's so intimidating"

"She's not intimidating you're just intimidated by women, but I'm not and I'm ready, new school year new me baby."

"Oh god, what did I start?" Garret doesn't understand how Reggie could be so excited while he's having a hard time breathing and they're not even there yet. "Listen before we get there I need you to promise me you'll put all your focus on Brea and not go after my sister."


"Why? Did she say something?" He grins "she noticed me didn't she?"

"It's kinda hard not to when you're always glaring at her Reggie, but seriously you'll get kicked out if you're being weird."


"Dude I don't know how to not be weird come on! That's a lot to ask" "Then just avoid Harper."

"I'm good at avoiding things" Reggie agrees.

Porter's street is covered in cars and you couldn't miss the party "she lied" Garret reacts as they slowly drive past the house full of people, bright lights, and loud music.

Finding a space at the end of the street Reggie practically skips towards the house while Garret lags behind, "come on man hurry up!"

Reggie turns seeing how slowly he's walking "what's with you?"

"Nothing why?"

"You look like you're about to throw up"

"I'm fine" he lies. Crowds of people are kind of Garret's worst nightmare and it wasn't helping right now trying to be someone who could handle it all. They finally make it to the house and walk in, the party's already at full swing and it's only 9. There's definitely more than just seniors here, and a DJ which he wasn't expecting. "I'm gonna go find Harper," Garret says to Reggie and he grins too distracted by all the people having fun.

Walking away he heads to the next room to look for his sister, he doesn't see her but sees some of her friends "have you guys seen Harper?" He walks up to them asking over the loud music

"Upstairs" someone replies.

Heading for the stairs Garret assumes she's probably in Porter's room, so he heads for it being familiar with the house. Going up to the room with the door cracked he stops and hears people talking, "you're making a big deal I wasn't flirting it was just a dance!"

"Well, why the fuck are you dancing with other guys at my party, Elia?!" Garret hears Porter's voice and decides to stay and listen "I'm not doing this tonight all right, it's always the same shit with you and I'm sick of it!"

"What are you talking about? I didn't do anything!"

"Grinding on that guy while he basically had your dick in the palm of his hand is nothing?! You know what don't talk to me for the rest of the night Elia I'm done!" Hearing Porter coming, Garret rushes to the nearest door going in so Porter won't see that he was eavesdropping.

"What are you doing weirdo?" Harper asks standing in front of the bathroom mirror

Jumping Garret turns "nothing!" He tries to act natural "I was looking for you, what are you doing?" "Smudged my lipstick making out with Billy York" she answers.

"Ew, you were kissing that loser?"

"Says the biggest loser I know" she replies smiling. Turning to her older brother Harper says "you're not gonna be weird around Porter tonight right?"

"Leave me alone Harper!" He walks out of the bathroom tired of hearing his sister make a big deal about him liking her best friend.

"I got you a drink" Reggie finds Garret handing him a cup, "to loosen you up, you're standing here like a low budget security guard."

Reggie can't tell but Garret has the perfect view of Porter, he's walking around his party making sure everyone's having a good time when he clearly wasn't and Garret knew why. Their perfect relationship must be a lie Garret thinks, no perfect couple fight like that.

Time passes and everyone is having the time of their lives, but there are 2 people who just can't seem to get into the party mood no matter how much their friends try. Garret walks around having lost eyes on Porter, as he looks he finds his sister instead "put that down! It's expensive... I think." She yells at people messing up Porter's house "Garret! Thank god I need your help" she rushes to him

"What?"

"I can't find Porter I think he's upstairs and Elia's pissed drunk so he's no help. Can you go look for him for me and text me when you find him?" As if he wasn't already looking, nodding he leaves his sister.

Walking around with purpose he starts to open doors, but every room with a closed door is either already filled with people or is empty.

Making his way to the back where the pool is which is off limits to everyone, Garret opens the back door getting a perfect view of the pool with only one person stumbling around it.

Standing at the deepest part of the pool is Porter and his bottle of liquor, wasn't hard to tell he's already drunk and stumbling around.

Without looking where he's stepping porter falls right into the pool, "Porter!" Garret screams rushing closer, waiting a second to see if he'll come back up he doesn't and Garret jumps in without a second thought. Swimming down to 8 feet he yanks the drunk passed out boy back to the top and with no help swims out of the pool with him. "Porter?" He taps his face laying down by the pool "wake up," leaning close he listens but doesn't hear or feel Porter's breathing. "Summer camp don't fail me now"
