Who: Hollis, Zelda, Evan and Bryce. Where: The Cliffs, of course. When: The day after Hollis and Evan talked privately and set it up. Summary: Their first time actually hanging out together. Rating: IDK. Status: In progress.
Zelda had been a bit reluctant about leaving the mansion. Not because she didn't want to spend time with Hollis and whoever they were going to meet up with, but more so because she usually didn't so freely just up and leave the mansion to hang out at a place like the cliffs. As a matter of fact, Zelda hadn't even been to the cliffs before. Of course, she was a teenager and heard all the talk about it among people at school. Everybody seemed to go up there to hang out in large groups to party, drink, and whatnot. But then again, some snuck off with their significant others or their crushes in order to go up there and make out, or do even more than making out. Thinking about all of that only made Zelda more nervous. Her father would be ready to kill her if he knew she was going out and running off to the cliffs just to meet up with some boys with Hollis. Correction, both of their fathers would be ready to kill them, or at least lock them away for the rest of their lives which honestly wasn't that big of a stretch than how they felt now at times.
Zelda got ready and was discreet about leaving the mansion, not wanting to tip off her father or his loathsome advisor who seemed to be more so into Zelda's personal business than her father was. Was she underdressed? Was she overdressed? What did teenagers wear to the cliffs? It was too late to change her mind now or to change her outfit as she got into one of the family vehicles and told the driver that she was going to a friend's birthday party with Hollis at a restaurant that wasn't too far from where Zelda's actual destination was. Once she was dropped off, she waved off the driver and began walking towards the entrance door of the restaurant only to stop before she made it to the entrance and backtrack, going in the opposite direction towards the cliffs.

Evan sat on an old flannel blanket near the bonfire, next to him to the side was the twelve-pack of canned soda with a large extra cheese pizza that he had received for helping out the owner of the pizzeria long enough to earn it just for tonight. He was a bundle of nerves of course, even if he was trying to look casual and nonchalant as he sat there waiting for his best friend and the girls to find him. Hollis had basically been the girl of his dreams because only a dream could create someone so beautiful on the outside, as well as the inside. It wasn't as if Evan had hung out with a girl like Hollis before because he never had. Most girls of Hollis' status wouldn't be caught dead in public with a guy like him, much less hanging out at the cliffs, eating a pizza from the wrong side of the tracks with two guys from the wrong side of the tracks on top of it all. What if his mouth failed him again? What if he said something stupid and ruined everything? It was a lot of pressure trying to impress and win over a girl who already had everything.
Where was Bryce even at? How awkward would it be if both girls showed up and his best friend wasn't even there? He seen a brightly colored dress and a very exotic looking female walking towards the bonfire, obviously looking completely lost. His first instinct as a good-hearted person was to ask her if she needed any help considering she was walking around in a small dress and strappy shoes with a heel. She certainly wasn't dressed for the Cliffs.
