You threw parties? Was this before the Salvatore School? Were they in your basement, Landon? Because that could be why no one showed up. But if you threw a proper party at school? People would've shown up. They always show up. Any excuse to break curfew and have some extra curricular fun.
If you throw a party here, would probably show up if you create a proper buzz. And you don't run out of food in the first 30 minutes.
