House Party preperation

Mark had to admit that he was very excited about the idea of hosting a house party. It wasn’t the same as a dorm party, this felt a lot different. He didn’t really know who would be showing up but it sure led to a lot of anticipation.

As expected, Macca was in charge of the guest list, he told the boys that he had only invited twenty to thirty people but it didn’t take much to know he was lying. Mark and Daniel put out the invitation to their friends too but most were unable to travel out this far for a party due to where it was or what they were doing in the mid-semester break.

“Okay, nobody inside the house tonight,” Daniel told both Mark and Macca as they sat inside the kitchen that evening, waiting for the first people to arrive.

“Yep, yep, yep, got it,” Macca said, hearing Daniel say that for probably the seventh or eight time today.

“They do have to walk through the front door to come inside though,” Mark added.

“I get that,” Daniel replied, “But once they come in, they go straight back outside, girls can come in and use the down stairs bathroom, guys can do their business outside.”

“Question,” Macca said, sarcastically putting his hand up.

Daniel didn’t find it amusing, raising his eyebrows, waiting for Macca to speak.

“What happens when I’ve found my root for the night? Can we go inside then?”

Before he could even answer, the doorbell rang and Macca sprung up out of his seat, “Get ready boys, it’s Showtime!”

The boys waited for Macca to return back with whoever was at the front door. They could hear instant chattering from multiple different voices once the door was open. Male and female voices but not any that they recognised.

A group of four to five young people walked in, following Macca outside. Without knowing for sure, it looked like they may have been 17 or 18, still in High School.

“Keg’s out the back,” Macca told them as he went through the sliding doors to the back yard.

While they went outside, Mark noticed a girl on the end with a nice mixed skin tone, smile at them as she followed her friends into the backyard.

“How does he know these people?” Daniel asked Mark.

Mark just laughed, “Dan, he knows everyone.”
