Showtime? What's Alex talking about? I bet it has something to with the 'thing' they needed to do. 

"Hey Chase, sorry I ran off on you," I apologize to him. 

"Yeah, what was that about?" He asks. 

"Nothing, it's no big deal," I insist.

"Alright. Anyway, Ashton's uncovering the pool in 5!" He says excitedly. In 5? Uh oh.

"Uncovering the pool?" I ask. 

"Yeah, didn't you see that it's covered?" He squints. 

"I mean yeah but what's the big deal?" I ask. 

"Oh right! I forgot that this is your first Lizewski party." He chuckles. 

"He opens the pool at midnight at every party and everyone stars pushing each other in. I know it sounds crazy but it's so much fun," He continues. Is that what Alex was talking about? 

"Oh wow! That really does sound crazy." I laugh. 

"Come on, let's go!" I notice that he has been slurring.

"I'll just grab another beer and join you there. Do you want some water or anything?"

"Nah, I'm good. Hurry back!" He seems like he's really drunk. 

I fill my solo cup when I hear the sound of water splashing.

"Fooooaaaam paaaarty!" Someone yells. Foam? I look outside to see tons of foam everywhere 

"Where the hell did all this come from?!" A very angry Ashton yells, climbing out of the pool.

A "Holy shit!" slips out of my mouth when I see that Ashton's whole body has turned blue. Everyone else seems just as surprised as me. Everyone other than Will, Alex, and Colt. They stand in a corner, smoking a joint, and laughing their asses off.  People start to step out of the pool, every single one of them is as blue as a Smurf. Every single one including Chase and Macey.

I run up to Will, Alex, and Colt. "You guys did this! Holy crap!" I yell. 

"Told you you'd find out soon enough." Colt speaks. Alex and Will are still laughing and I can't help but join in. Laughter really is contagious.

"How did you guys even manage this?" I wonder. 

"We dumped a bunch of detergent and non toxic dye into the pool after you got out." Alex gloats. 

"But how? We left immediately!" I ask, startled. 

"Alex can be pretty quick." Will smirks.

"You guys are insane. How did you know that Ashton wouldn't go into the pool that day?" I question. 

"Easy. He'd gotten a perm that morning. You're not supposed get your hair wet for at least 24 hours after getting a perm." Colt says, like it's common knowledge.

"A perm. Seriously?" I chuckle. 

"You think his hair is naturally like that?" Colt raises an eyebrow. These guys are evil geniuses. I love it.

"We should get out of here. You're welcome to join us, Kat." Will suggests. 

"As fun as that sounds, I can't. I'm here with Chase." I say with an apologetic smile. I can't just abandon Chase to hang out with his sworn enemies. Even though I really, really want to. 

"Some other time, then." Alex assures and I smile.

I run to Chase, trying not to laugh. My tries aren't very successful. "Chase, you're all blue!" I giggle. 

"You're lucky you didn't get pushed in." He replies.

"I agree. I'm sure the avatar look wouldn't suit me as much as it suits you." I tease. He looks incredible even when he's covered in blue dye and foam. 

"This is DISGUSTING!" Macey huffs. She looks more like a Smurf than ever. "I'm going home. Whoever did this needs to pay!" She yells and storms off. 

"It's Walker and Forrester. It has to be them." Ashton looks like an angry bull. A blue bull with really long, curly hair. 

"Now, let's not jump to conclusions." I try to calm him down. 

"Who else could be?" Chase demands. 

"I don't know, any of the hundreds of people who are here today?" I roll my eyes. 

"Why are you defending them?" Chase looks annoyed. 

"I'm not. I'm stating facts." I counter. 

"Whatever. I've gotta clean this mess up before my parents get back." Ashton sighs and walks away.

"Come on, I'll take you home," Chase says, taking my hand. 

"You can't drive. You're drunk." I state.

"We'll take an Uber." He suggests and I nod.

We wait in the driveway for the cab. Red Solo cups are lying around everywhere and the whole place smells like cheap beer.  People are starting to leave, most of them covered in dye. It's chilly outside and I regret my decision to wear a tank top.

"Here," Chase says, handing me his jacket after noticing that I'm cold. Luckily, he took it off before he got covered with blue dye so it's safe.

"Thanks." I smile and put it on.

The cab gets here after a couple of minutes and we get in. 

"I'll come back and get my car tomorrow." Chase says. We sit in silence for a little while. I lay my head on his shoulder. 

"So, tonight has been..."

"-eventful?" He suggests. 

"That's one way to describe it. Are all of the parties here like this?" I ask. 

"Pretty much. Except the whole pool disaster part." He laughs. We get out of the cab and he walks me to the front door.

"I had a really good time, Chase." I look up at him through my eyelashes. 

"Me too." He takes my hand. We look into each other's eyes. I feel my heart beating fast. He puts one hand on my waist and the other behind my head and pulls me closer. The next thing I know, his lips are on mine. I respond immediately, surprising myself.

I pull away in a few seconds. 

"I-I should go in before we wake Wyatt up." I stammer. He nods in agreement. I give him a quick peck and slip into the house. "See ya." I whisper and he gets back into the cab.
