waiting impatiently

[Casper Van der Meares III]

Casper smiled at Connor, "Pleasure to meet you as well." Casper said as he firmly shook the boys hand. He hadn't a clue what it was between the two boys in front of him, but it was enough of a distraction for him not to dwell on his date for the night which he was slightly more miffed about than he probably had a right to be. "I am Casper by the way." he introduced himself not really sure whether Connor knew him, he may have been a jock but he did try to avoid the masses of people who followed the team every where he went.

He nodded when Connor mentioned drinks turning to Tina, "Would you like something to drink?" he asked politely, he needed something to do and maybe talking to Connor while he got drinks would settle his nerves. The fact that he felt like everyone was watching him was really beginning to make him nervous and Tina no matter how much she looked nice and acted nice wasn't helping calm his nerves.

'Now is not the time to have a panic attack.' he growled silently to himself. 'Get a hold of your self Casper, these people don't need to see you spass out at a party.' he snapped at himself silently.

Tight spaces with loads of people in them weren't his forte for sure.

Connor didn’t even blink at Kian’s choice of drink, he was used to his boyfriend’s taste by now, even if he didn’t share the same. Only Bree didn’t seem to want anything, so he gestured for Casper to come with him as he headed over towards where he saw all the alcohol set up earlier. He wasn’t exactly a big drinker, regardless of the Irish stereotype, but he figured a drink, or three, was exactly the thing he needed to start feeling just a bit more comfortable. He wasn’t like Kian in that way, who seemed absolutely at ease in whatever situation he found himself in, no matter how he was dressed. Connor admired that. Not that he was shy himself or anything, far from it, he just wasn’t as outgoing either. Especially when he didn’t have his camera with him.

“So, what are you drinking?” he asked, commandeering the drinks table as he organised Kian’s. He wasn’t sure what Tina wanted, she just raised her hand for one but didn’t put in an order. But figuring she was a Durnham, he got her a glass of champagne. “I think I’ll just stick to beer myself. After this.” With a laugh, he poured out two shots of scotch, one for each of them, downing his quickly. He even managed not to pull a face as he did. He then started pouring his beer, and getting Casper’s drink.

“Forgive me if I’m wrong, but you seem just as uncomfortable as I am.” Connor grinned a little, as though the two knew something no one else here did. “At least your date didn’t make you dress up. Well, I say dress up, but really, I’m half naked, no getting around that now.” he chuckled, gathering all the drinks together to take back.

When half the group disappeared, Tina sunk down to sit on a bench, seeming to deflate. Kian seemed sympathetic. "He hates me, I didn't realize I am so ugly," she said, unable to keep it inside. Kian sighed and put his arm around her shoulder."From what I know of him, he is too self-important to date a freshman.You look lovely, Tina and don't let anyone make you feel otherwise. I am gay so I have great taste," he said with a laugh at himself.

Tina sighed and dropped her head in defeat. "Tyler set us up, I thought he would care enough to make sure he got someone who would at least talk to me, but maybe he doesn't care after all. Can I borrow your phone, Kian?" It wasn't that she didn't have one, just no place to carry it in her costume.

"Sure, Here you go," Kian said as he handed over the Iphone. She called for a Taxi and thanked him as she handed it back.She walked around to the front and sat on a bench where she could see the driveway. Kian watched her go, a slight look of sadness in his expressive eyes.Then he stood and went to join Connor.
