✘ ⎯⎯⎯ Normally a party wouldn’t be where Grace found herself on the weekend, especially one that somehow combined both the Rubber Room kids and the more popular crowd -- but that was just how Maya seemed to make it work. Grace and the rest of her friends wouldn’t even be here if Maya hadn’t nearly begged on her knees that they try to play nice with the rest of her friends. Grace personally found it completely unnecessary, but she took it as a chance to people watch. She hadn’t even realized that this was the prime spot for her to meet new people -- people she didn’t have any intentions of speaking to again, but that may offer her some sort of fun for the night. It was a tall, red-headed girl who had approached her first, and they seemed to hit it off instantly. Before long, the girl had dragged her off to dance, and Grace found her hands resting comfortably on her waist, pulling her in closer. The thought of Tori Santamaria was far from her mind, and maybe that was for the best. While she liked a challenge, sometimes it proved to not be worth it. Tori seemed to fall in that category, as of late.
