## Plot

Olivia is the main leader of the friend group, the group hangs out very often, and have been friends for years. But lately there has been a lot of drama that has gone down. Adrian & Stefanie have been dating since their freshman year of high school, although, Hector has recently caught Stefanie with another friend, Corey, on a date together. Hector hasn’t told anyone that he knows, but he also has a secret of his own, he is a thief, a horrible thief, he steals from stores, restaurants, people’s mailboxes, and has even gotten as bad as stealing from family & friends, he’s stolen over $150 from his so-called “best friend”, Tyler. Tyler has no idea about this but the one person who does is Kelsie, as she had a part doing so as well, a while ago, Kelsie found an embarrassing video of Hector which she bribed him $150, or else she would repost it, with not enough money, Hector had no other choice but to resort to his bad habit and steal from Tyler. Kristie is the girl who believes who is leader of the group, putting on the whole Mean Girls act, making a lunch table where only HER friend group can sit at, Tyler & Adrian hate her the most out of anyone else, as she is rude to everyone, even their friends not in the friend group. The two have talked copious amounts of smack behind Kristie’s back, and it’s to the point where everyone in the group (besides Olivia) hate Kristie, with Tyler & Adrian being the ring leaders. One Saturday Night, Olivia decides to host a game night with the whole group, Olivia is excited but is unaware of all the underlying tension that has been going on as of late, so the whole group is in for quite a GAME NIGHT.
