New Blood Storyline

### First Senior Party

Paige Pierce arrives in her black 1969 Mustang, though decides to take a minor detour with Elio Esposito, boyfriend to Lenora Foley, becoming quite the spectacle in the parking lot of the party when doing non-PG13 actions. Caught by Phoebe Taylor-DeLoughrey, who had arrived with AJ Morrison - due to her twin sister busy reading - and admittedly was crushing on Elio at the time, they quickly stopped. Claiming to be scarred for life, Phoebe entered the building with AJ for a drink. Though shortly after AJ and Phoebe enter, Elio approaches the latter for a word. Though Phoebe insists on making it group conversation, and so Elio proceeds to shut down the possibility of there being something between him and Paige, and tries to talk her into staying quiet about what she had seen. Though she had no plans to say anything to his girlfriend, Phoebe still questioned what she would actually get out of staying quiet.

Lenora Foley, girlfriend of the infamous Elio, arrived at the party with her best friend JP Medina. Both of which seeing the events that took place between Elio and Paige, Lenora rushed into the party with JP in an attempt to ignore what she had seen.

Leaving AJ and Elio, Phoebe approaches and starts dancing closely with Diego

Without Daiane Meyer available for pre-drinks, Reuben Pascual arrives at the party texting many people to accompany him. Which is when he finds Athena Lee, who are then both bumped into by Kim Hyun-Ae. Reuben and Athena both introduce themselves to Hyun-Ae, who is not too enthusiastic about talking to people. But the conversation continues friendly, Reuben asking Hyun-Ae where she is from, answered as South Korea. Though Athena attempts to continue conversation, Hyun-Ae leaves to get a drink, coming back questioning it's taste, to which Athena jokes it may be spiked. Hyun-Ae neglects this risk and drinks.

Attempting to also get to the party, Annie Williams and Ezekiel Griffin have a small obstacle in that the car breaks down in the middle of a random forest. Making the most of the situation, the next few hours consist of hooking up and smoking. However, quickly takes a turn when Zek's lit joint sets alight, spreading across leaves and trees and soon starting a fire. As the police arrive, Annie tells Zek to leave, resulting in only her getting arrested for the crime.

Deciding she also wants to attend the party, Amelia Taylor-DeLoughrey

Hera Zhou and Sammi Mbogo both arrive via a cab to the party, and Hera is quickly approached by her best friend Charlotte Bekker, who exchange a drink and dance. Hera suggests they get out to 'freshen up'. Upon doing so, the two exchange an intimate moment, with Charlotte's feelings becoming more apparent - though she pushed them down with the suggestion of shots. Hera agrees, however soon needs to go to the bathroom.

Laurel Parker's night began with a sentimental moment with her mother Jezebel Parker, who had previously been in her position in terms of receiving and aspiring to complete tasks, reminding her that it wasn't necessary to participate in the Blue Royalty game. Once arriving at the party, she is soon bumped into by Embry Thompson, who had just been drinking the Vodka Coke from her purse. Embry narrowly avoids Laurel's question as to why she was in such a rush that made her bump into her, and their conversation continues. The two head to the bar for their first drinks.

After a while of looking for her, Ives Mulligan finds Clara Weston-Lucier at the bar, ordering a drink. Clara, who had just arrived after a minor debate with her step-father over her choice of outfit, greeted him and ordered a Cosmopolitan. After some inner debate for Ives, he decided to admit his recently growing feelings for Clara. These feelings are reciprocated by Clara, and Ives, unsure of how to handle this response, starts questioning her feelings and expresses how much he did not plan this. Clara then suggests they go for coffee the next morning.

Xavier Pestana is excitedly greeted by Daiane, but before they have a chance to catch up, Reuben, who slipped out of the conversation with Hyun-Ae and Athena, approached her to have a conversation away from small talk. Sitting on the coach together, Daiane questions Rueben's choice in outfit: being a clown costume.

Ari Lee makes a dramatic entrance to the party in a limousine, walking with a purpose into the venue until she was bumped into by Mia Campbell, who received a screaming rant from Ari about the clash. A nervous and apologetic Mia offers to pay for a new drink, Ari labels her a dumb blonde and waited for her promised new drink. Not to her acquired taste, Ari demanded a second drink from Mia. Mia quickly realised Ari would be the exception to her normally liking everyone, after third drink is requested - and then a refill and macarons. Though to stay polite, Mia obliges. After serving Ari for a while, Ari asks Mia to put a white powder into every drink she sees. Unsuspecting, Mia does this, adding it to her own and drinking it also.

Enrique Montoya later arrives, only to the appeal that it was a Blue Royalty Party, knowing they were renowned for chaos. Though upon being in sight of brothers Diego Montoya and Raphael Montoya, he enters the elevator. However, the elevator stopped, with Sophie Lewis also with him, neither of which being too pleased about the other being with them. After both expressing distaste for the situation, Ricky proceeds to ask Sophie about her love-life, more so her lack thereof.

Entering the party herself, Florence Carter approached Eduard Flynn who had been stuck behind his camera for the majority of the party.
