Episode 3 - The party

The party had just started... Shane had a complex feeling about Rain after hearing her betrayal. Axel seemed pretty flirty around Ivy, though it was way too less than harmful. Sean seemed quite annoyed by the whole

thing, so he tried to ignore them... But Ivy's eyes were finding only Sean.

Rain seemed quite left alone in the crowd. She stepped aside looking at her fellow friends enjoying. She was kinda used to it, from middle school. Her friends abandoned her alone after one incident, except Ivy and a

few friends... Rain turned around the window, looking at the wide night sky when someone startled her.

-"Hey! Thinking about your boyfriend?!"

Rain quickly turned around, "Wahhh..." It was surprisingly Sean.  Sean seemed not too much friendly with girls so it was kinda weird.

-"Hey!.. You almost freaked me out! Sean, right...?!", said Rain looking upside down.

- "Yep! I guess you don't remember me... I was your classmate in middle school too!", said Sean putting on a friendly smile.

But hearing the name of 'middle school' Rain retreated, "Oh!... Ummm, okay... So...??"

Sean quickly turned towards Ivy and Axel and sighed, "Ah! I gave in... Rain!"

- "What's it??"

- "Can you help me?? please!!!" begged Sean.

- "Okay... But in what?! Tell me... I'll if possible"

- "So... Can you help me out with Ivy? I know it's weird... But I've no choice other than you! You're her bestie...  Seansighed.

Rain quickly took a look at Ivy who was with Axel and a few boys and girls... She quickly assumed the whole thing and smiled,

"Sean...I can only help you to create a chance, and after that, all is up to you! Okay?"

Sean nodded quickly, "Sure thing! Thank you, Rain... Actually, I never expected that you would help me."

Rain gave him a bitter smile and started to walk towards Ivy and others. Ivy noticed Rain quickly walked to her.

- "Rain! I'm sorry\, I left you alone... You know these guys." Said Ivy holding her hands, "C'mon here..."

Rain halted, "No! Let's Dance!" Ivy almost jumped off,

-"Really?! Dance!... You!!! C'mon then... What're you waiting for?!" Ivy almost dragged her along with, smiling.

*With Sean*

After Rain left his side, he sighed of relief. "What were you doing with her?!" Said Shane.

Sean almost got scared as he didn't notice Shane behind him.

-  "What the...?!" Said Sean,

- "Are you out of your mind\, bro?!" Shane chuckled... *Pffft!* "Hahaha! No way! Just answer me Sean! Earlier you said she's not reliable and now...?"

- "Who said she's not reliable?!"

- "Huh...?! You... Said earlier... Forget it, what are you up to?"

- "Ah! That's not something you should care about, right? Anyways, let's dance!"

- "What?!... Dance??"

Sean dragged him along with himself to the dance floor where was Rain and Ivy! Rain was glad that at least Sean understood her gesture. Shane noticed Rain was just moving around, not dancing apart from Ivy, who was acing the floor. Ivy was enjoying herself when Axel joined all of them. But Ivy didn't give him any attention this time. Rain took the chance and holding Ivy's hand, she slightly pushed her towards Sean. Sean gladly took her hand and led the dance along. Rain smirked at him as did he! Like, "Mission Accomplished!" Ivy was so cheerful as Sean, finally, they got a chance to talk.

Rain giggled a little after taking a glance at them. She quietly left the dance floor and went to a quieter place. Shane watched the whole thing, what Rain did for his friend and somehow he started to feel a little different from before about her.

"Maybe... She's not that scheming as I thought." Shane thought to himself. A few girls were approaching him on the dance floor so he started to feel uncomfortable, as he didn't like clingy girls at all. He excused himself from them and started to walk away from there. Suddenly he noticed Rain, sitting all alone in a corner looking at her phone. Unconsciously he approached her.....
