NEW YEAR'S EVE PARTY

NEW YEAR'S EVE PARTY

HOW THIS WORKS

• Everyone is back on campus tonight, and the Junior Wands aren't going to let that prevent them from celebrating the new year.


• Everyone is welcome in the Wands common room at 10:00 PM for a last minute party.


• There's some alcohol available if you ask around, if you want to ring in the new year with a drink.


• At the stoke of midnight, the room erupts in cheers and kisses. Emma pops a bottle of champagne, and the cork hits Liam in the face. Oops!


• If your character's not at the party, you can still post scenes here! Just note in the header they're somewhere else on campus.

» The Party: Mingle and celebrate! 2018 is finally coming to a close.

» Midnight: Three, two, one... Happy New Year!

» IT'S 2019: The party starts to wind down, and students return to their own rooms.

Hadlee & Dallas

[dallaslevy]

Being dance partners with Hadlee means that Dallas has been in any number of compromising positions with the older girl and he's already kissed her once before at a party in the Velvet Room...but that doesn't mean he's willing to be forced into it now. When she makes very intentional eye contact with him and heads his way, he makes a point of lifting his red plastic cup to his mouth after murmuring a simple hey.

Coming to a stop in front of Dallas, Hadlee's lips pull in a little tightly. Normally she wouldn't have a problem with this reaction, given that it's not an unfamiliar one from the younger boy, but right now it annoys her. The Shadow Post had suggested Dallas and Merry as a couple, and she'd seen them together at the dance. While she's not interested in Dallas like that in the least, she's definitely possessive. She knows it's not a good look, but she's never been great at pushing down irritation.

"Looking for someone else to kiss?"

While Dallas had expected a reaction, maybe the girl complaining or pulling at his arm or getting into his face, he hadn't quite expected this. A bit bewildered, he lowers the cup (only filled with water at this point) and looks at her with uplifted eyebrows. "...Not looking to kiss anyone," he corrects, then adds a bit more lightly, "You have a bingo card I'm messing up or what?"

"Sure," Hadlee retorts, and it comes out a little snottier than she intends. She takes a sip of her own drink (alcoholic, thank you) before she crosses her arms. Already she feels stupid because Dallas looks so clueless, but she's sticking to her guns. Sort of.

"You're just going to be unlucky if I don't kiss you. And I sort of feel bad for you."

Hadlee & Dallas

[dallaslevy]

"You got me," Dallas replies dryly, pushing back in turn almost as a reflex, "I'm holding out for Noah." He isn't stupid, though. He hasn't forgotten the talk yesterday about him and Merry and it's not hard to guess that's what Hadlee means when she gives him that disbelieving retort. He takes another sip of his drink before asking the obvious question.

"Yeah? How do you figure?"

Hadlee & Dallas

[trailerparkprincess]

Standing quiet and still for a few moments, Hadlee eventually shrugs.

"Want me to go get Noah? He'll definitely give you a kiss." If she weren't feeling so hostile she'd have a much more teasing tone right now, and a small part of her wishes she could let this go enough to do that. But she feels like she's going to get left in the dust without a dance partner, and that's an uncomfortable feeling.

"If you kiss someone cute on New Year's it's good luck, and I'm super cute."

Hadlee & Dallas

[dallaslevy]

Dallas ignores the comment about Noah and silently watches Hadlee. He's not sure he's ever seen her like this before and he's not sure what he's done to piss her off either. Nothing is all he can come up with. He hasn't even seen that much of her lately.

"...I don't put much stock in luck," he returns and shrugs, "Besides, I thought it was only bad luck if you didn't kiss someone at the stroke of midnight."

"Well also it's good luck if you kiss someone cute." Hadlee obviously made this up, but she's going to keep pushing it like it's true. She takes another drink, feeling more sullen by the minute.

"And I'm cuter than Merry."

Hadlee & Dallas

[dallaslevy]

While Dallas is almost certain that's not true, he doesn't argue. What's good luck and what's not isn't really the point anymore and he sighs tightly. "...You're...both cute," he returns, knowing that this isn't what Hadlee wants to hear but not quite willing to indirectly put down Merry just to avoid his friend's ire. She's the one being weird about this.

This is definitely not what Hadlee wants to hear, as evidenced by the fact that she bites her lip hard. "But I'm cuter," she argues, and there's something in her voice that almost sounds hurt. She hates it, so she takes a long drink from her cup. "Whatever, I'm not going to give you a good luck kiss. You can go get a less lucky kiss from your favorite dance partner Merry."

Hadlee & Dallas

[dallaslevy]

For a moment, all Dallas can do is stare at Hadlee, dumbfounded. "Favorite dance partner?"

Hadlee & Dallas

[trailerparkprincess]

"You heard me."

Hadlee feels flustered and upset now, her cheeks hot. She knows this conversation is stupid, and that she's being unreasonable, but she's not going to apologize. Not right now, anyway. She's just going to find someone to lavish her with positive attention.

She turns to go, quickly saying, "I hope you're cursed next year!" This is a total lie, but it feels like it gives her the upper hand somehow.

That Hadlee could've gotten this idea in her head or that this would even matter to her had never occurred to Dallas. He begins to protest but the girl is already turning away and hurrying off into the crowd, having delivered her parting shot. He watches her go, exhaling a frustrated sigh.

Maybe Shiloh has the right idea after all. Girls are crazy.
