surprise party

Crystal blinked when she saw Ryan moving towards them. They were meeting; how perfect! Crystal beamed as they stopped and she moved to give her friend a hug. "Happy Birthday, Ryan! I hope you've enjoyed the surprise. Also," She added a little slyly before giggling. "I brought your favorite sweets from the bakery; just for you with an added touch."

Scarlett had wound up curled up on one of the armchairs in the corner, legs crossed and sipping from a Lychee Soda. Now that Ryan was here the party seemed to have finally started, and usually she'd be in the center of it... although she wasn't so sure she wanted to be in the center of this crowd.

She'd already gone over to see Ryan, receiving a hug and a sweet little thank you. It had made her feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

But now that she was observing, there were some people who seemed rather... unsavory. Namely some of the self proclaimed hostess club. The red head in particular. Honestly. This was why red heads were given bad press, people like her. She hadn't even joined in with the cheering for Ryan. Scarlett's mouth set into a deep frown as she tapped her Soda can quietly, eyes practically glued to Kagami at this point. 

What a bitch. 

Looking around, she caught the gaze of a pink haired girl (also in the hostess club? She couldn't remember too well) and gave a weak smile before drinking from her can again. She wondered where Deedee was, she needed somebody at this point and Deedee said she'd be coming. 

Drinking from her can again, she caught sight of Spencer and her stomach turned. It wasn't like she didn't know he'd be here, she had known, rather... it was nice to see him. She didn't recognize the quote on his shirt though... Catching his eye she smiled brightly before texting Deedee quickly.

'Are you here yet??'
'I'm in the corner near the window.'
'Find me ): '

She could had just kicked herself for leaving her overnight sitting by the front door. Thank god Raiden was home and was doing nothing. But that was a everyday thing with him though. She had sent him a quick text asking him could he bring it to her.

It only took him about two seconds to bring her the bag and it took about ten minutes for him to talk her head off. He was kept going on about something. She won't really paying attention to him. So he just said bye and left.

Once she was back into the house she headed upstairs to one of the spare rooms to place her bag down. Just as she did she heard Ageha yelling. Oh god no! She couldn't miss surprising Ryan! Taking off down the stairs she had slipped and fall on her butt, hitting the steps.

"Ooww!!" Deedee yelled just as the door open and Ryan walked in. She had missed it. A deep frown stained her face as she stood up and walked down the rest of the way.

She was so made that she missed it but as long as Ryan was happy and was surprised then it was alright.

Going over she got a tight hug and a thank you for Ryan which made her feel better.

After walking around for a bit she felt her phone buzzing in her pocket. Taking it out she saw the text and replied.

'Hey! I'm here! fell on my ass a few minutes ago'
'Don't ask...'
'Okay,be there in a sec'

Putting her phone away she headed off to the window. Just as she spotted her she also spotted Spencer with her. Ohhh well then this was interesting. Deedee knew that Scarlett had a crush on him, and them talking was a good start for that to deepen.

Not taking another step she took her phone out again sent a quick text.

'I see you talking to your boo'
'Talk it up! I'll be standing over here'
'BTW very cute outfit! '

As soon as Spencer plopped down on the floor next to her she couldn't help but feel slightly more brighter. He called her lovely, he thought she was lovely, which was true but it felt good to hear it. 

"Hello my lovely... tall Spencer." That fell apart quickly and she rolled her eyes at herself, sipping from her soda again then sat up to talk to him more easily. "Yeah, I'm having fun, I think this is a pretty good party! Ryan didn't suspect a thing, right?" She sipped from her soda again, feeling her phone buzz in her skirt pocket, quickly checking it and then going red, looking up to try and spot Deedee but failing. 

She was gonna get an earful later that was for sure. 

She let her eyes wander back to Spencer's shirt, glancing over the words, swirling the contents of her soda tin around. "Okay, I'll bite, what's 'people like grapes'?" 

Sangmin's grin had turned into a firm line. "If you had paid attention and bought all the stuff I told you to in the first place." He motioned to one of the pans in his hand. "Do you want me to drop things?" Demanding his cousin to help obviously was no good. Sangmin should know Ageha better, but it had been worth a shot considering this was all for Ryan.

He looked up when Souta had approached. Oh! Right. Souta Maeda. He'd seen him a few times and he'd heard about him from his Aunt and Mother often. Ha-Eun the most, actually, because she really wanted Ageha and Souta to date (and marry). But in the end Sangmin hadn't spent much time with Souta, especially outside of group stuff. He did seem nice and also a great prospect for Ageha! He greatly encouraged the two of them to hook up. She needed a nice, stable Asian guy, just like his Eomma and Imo insisted.

"Hey! Since Ageha's being 'too good' for it," Sangmin chastised her with a pointed look, "Could you help me bring out all the food? And the cake?!" He gestured at the kitchen countertops stacked with pans of appetizers and refreshments. "Some of them are still hot." The door swung softly behind him as he walked back in and began piling things onto plates to take out to the guests.

Ageha poked out her tongue at Sang-min the moment he looked her way. "I'm not 'too good,' I'm busy!" And too good, but that was beyond the point! Besides, Souta would be all too happy to do it anyway.

"Whatever. I have to go find Ryan." She crossed her arms. She still didn't know where he'd ran off to. "Have you seen him or not?"

At her disdain for Glasgow he nodded, frowning, "Tell me about it, it's a shitehole, I left when I was 7." He shook his head, "No, never really did much like it. There was nothing to do." 

At Hyacinth's cackle, he blinked a few times but managed to keep his face neutral. Oh yes. It was definitely Hyacinth. She had a... very distinct laugh. He was trying to resist war flashbacks from Glasgow. 

Helping himself to sausages as well then replacing the tray on the table, he looked around before back at his plate and popping one in his mouth, looking up as she spoke again. 

"Oh don't even get me started on those idiots." He rolled his eyes, "I'm in 3-A, with the other guys in the host club, I just-- how is that guy 18!?" He rubbed his shoulder, "Man alive, it's mental! Completely mad." He shook his head, "I told my older sister about it and she nearly had a heart attack because she thought they were gigolos or something." He shook his head, "It's so... odd."
