influencer.julia: ^ so gay yall broke the scale

gay.bowie: okay bitch here u go

gay.bowie sent a video.

(for some context, it just contained one of the videos of their confessionals, specifically a certain one from the finale.

”Did you see the look on their faces?!”

”Thats what you get for being popular!”

”Uh- no I’m popular.”

”Oh.. heh.. yeah.. clearly!”

those were the lines so you could envision it)

gay.bowie has gone offline.

A few hours later, a few people start heading to Bowie's house.

Third person POV (not in GC)

To sum it up, Priya, Millie, Damien, Zee, Caleb, and Nichelle were carpooling together to head to Bowie's party.

Most of them were just chill, while Millie and Caleb were arguing about something stupid. Who knows what they were even arguing about?

"No wonder Priya hated you! Everyone should, and I'm surprised they didn't hate you in the beginning! Oh wait- they were too focused on your looks to understand!" Yeah, it was getting a bit too heated.

"Oh really, Millie?! You just had your massive ego to not even care about Priya or anyone else around you! At least I actually cared for her, unlike you! You just used her to get you further in the game!" Caleb said, shouting at Millie, while Priya sat in between them, having to listen to this.

Damien and Nichelle were in the front, Nichelle being the one driving. Though, knowing her, Damien was fearing that they would crash into a building or tree any second that Nichelle let go of the wheel. Nichelle was reassuring him that "this would be fine" and that she has a driver's license, so it should be safe.

Damien pointed out that drunk drivers also have driver's licenses and yet they crash into basically everything. Nichelle and Damien both knew that Nichelle wasn't drunk, or even indulged in alcohol, but it was fun to think that.

Zee was in the back, chilling with his endless supply of sodas, occasionally trying to calm Millie and Caleb down, but to no avail. Though, he didn't really care much. He was just Zee being Zee, as everyone would say.

They all eventually got to Bowie's house, Millie and Caleb still arguing, but the rest learned to tune it out. Priya and Damien had to drag the two inside because they wouldn't stop getting in each other's faces, though.

"Welcome, welcome! Yes, I know. My house is wonderful, thanks for implying." Bowie said, hands on his hips while he glanced at the group of people, eyeing them for a few seconds before heading upstairs to grab Raj and Wayne.

"He's so egotistical." Priya whispered to Millie, who nodded her head in agreement. 

When Bowie was trying to drag Raj and Wayne out of their room, someone rang the doorbell. Then, it was followed by a knock. It didn't seem like Bowie heard it, because he wasn't rushing to get down. So, Nichelle decided to take initiative and open it.

"Yo, yo, yo! What's up, Nichelle? Knew you'd be here, man! Now I owe Ripper 20 bucks!" Chase said, trying to dab Nichelle up, but Nichelle just took her hand away and skeptically looked at him.

"Dude! You just forced her to come so you get the 20!" Ripper appeared from behind Chase, crossing his arms.

"Did not!" Chase crossed his arms back, mimicking him. Nichelle just facepalmed at them and left them on the porch, door open.

Bowie soon came down after, noticing the door open. "Who opened the door this time?" He asked, now acknowledging Chase and Ripper's presence.

"Oh, Nichelle did! Though, in hindsight, we probably should've checked who it was before opening it." Priya looked towards the door, wanting to just shut the door in their faces.

"Alright.. they'll probably get in eventually. Let's just watch a movie or something."

"Wait- do you have UNO?" Damien perked up, now in the mood for some games, and specifically because MK wasn't here to crush them within five minutes.

"Yeah, why?" Bowie asked in concern.

"Can we just play before-" Damien went down to a whisper, seemingly for the aesthetic. "Before MK gets here?"

"Fine, I'll let you have the ego boost this time. Everyone get in a circle, I'll get the cards." Bowie walked away, not before Raj had to let go of his shoulder, of course. Attachment issues, most presume.
