Re: Lennon, Kiley and Chase
Tobias had been dealing with second thoughts about the party. They started after he put on his "nice" clothes, when he wondered if he looked stupid in just a t-shirt, jacket, nice pants and sneakers. Then social anxiety kicked in a bit. It was one thing to hang with the people he liked, but there would be other people there, and what if he had to make small talk? What if Madison was there in a pretty dress and he had to try and be smooth again?
There was about a five minute span when he decided not to go. To sit in his room, or play video games instead. But then he remembered Lennon, and his desire for the guy to come so they could hang out. Plus, he'd asked Madison to go too, and it would have been shitty of him to do that and then not show.
So... he finally descended the stairs to the first floor and ducked into the billiards room. He caught sight of Madison, but she was talking to someone else, and his eyes quickly swung around the room until he spotted Lennon with Chase and Kiley. Thank god.
Tobias hurried over to them, a small smile on his face. "Hey," he said, trying not to feel awkward. "You guys look awesome. This is... weird."
