"Perfect! I can't wait!" Maya smiled brightly at him, hoping the next party would be sooner rather than later though as of right now, as the time was passing Maya found herself losing a bit of energy but figured it was probably because it was getting closer to the end of the night. Her hands rested on Brody's fore arms as the music continued to play when she remembered something, "did you help yourself to the punch?"

Brody frowned when she asked about the punch. “Ah, no. Didn’t get a chance.” But he had a feeling someone probably already spiked it, since he heard the rumors that one stupid often did this for school functions. “Are you telling to try it or avoid it.” He jokingly asked, though he’d probably avoid it, it was one thing to get drunk off campus, but to do it in front of teachers seemed like a bad idea.

Maya giggled, "you should try it, it's really good," she told him, feeling like it was finally hitting her, making her more giggly than usual. "Morgan made it really good-oops." She covered her mouth with her hand, "you did not hear that first part." Her face turned a little red as she hoped she didn't somehow just get her in trouble but she didn't think that Brody would say anything.

Brody slowly nodded his head, knowing for sure that the punch bowl was spiked. "I think I will pass this time." She didn't have to worry about him tattling on anyone about someone spiking the punch bowl, but he'd avoid drinking it. "How much did you drink?" He asked her, slowly leading her to the edge of the dance floor, not wanting her to fall if she'd had too much and not enough water or food to soak it up.

Maya stuck her tongue out at him, giggling when he said he was going to pass but happily followed him towards the edge of the dancefloor. She had made it most of the way until the very end where the toe of her shoe caught on the floor. She quickly grabbed onto Brody, falling against his chest but laughed again, "uhm....one or two cups I think, I know at least one but I didn't eat after our pizza lunch."

Brody caught her after she had tripped, knowing he should probably help her back to her room before she passed out and was found by a teacher. He'd hate for her to get expelled. "Hey now, I think we need to grab something to eat and head to the dorms." he figured she'd probably eat something and then pass out, hopefully without a headache in the morning. He led her over to the buffet table and grabbed a plate. "What, do you want to eat?" he asked her, looking over the options, which there was a lot of options to choose from.

"Head back to the dorms?" Maya giggled, tucking herself against his side as she looked at the table and the food they had spread out then started to point out what she wanted to him, everything looking better the more she looked at them.

"Yes, to the dorms." Brody grabbed what she pointed out, handing her some of it while they walked towards the exit, trying to support her, carry the food, and made sure she actually got food in her mouth before dropping it. "How potent was this punch?" he asked, though wondered if two people had spiked it without knowing someone else had or would.

"Okay." She said, keeping against him as they walked, enjoying being against his side as she nibbled on a little sandwich. Her eyes flickered up to him as they walked, tilting her head a little. "Um, Morgan only put in a flasks worth of vodka, I don't think it was too much..." she mused, "normally I can drink a lot more than that, I'm small but I'm not that much of a light weight." She frowned.

Brody nodded his head, thinking there was probably more than just one flask of vodka, but he wasn't going to say anything, "It's okay, it's probably because you didn't eat anything." he pointed out, wondering why she didn't eat even the sandwich she was eating now earlier. He led her out of the gym and steered her towards the girls dorms, shaking his head, knowing he'd never understand what went on in their heads.

"Probably." She shrugged, glancing down at the sandwich in her hand with a slight frown, she did remember a trip to the bathroom after their pizza and even as she ate the little sandwich she was thinking about heading to the bathroom again. The alcohol had enough calories in it as it was. She looked up as Brody shook his head, frowning a little. "Did I do something wrong? I'm sorry if I ruined your night." Her lower lip trembled a little bit, she wanted to have fun, she didn't want to ruin it for anyone else, especially someone as nice as Brody was being.

Brody took a deep breath of fresh air as they made their way from the gym to the girls dorms. He frowned when she asked if she had done something wrong. "No, nothing wrong. I just want to make sure you're safe while drunk." He pointed out, knowing he'd done the same at most parties, if he wasn't wasted himself that is.

"Okay." Maya said but bit her little lip, still feeling guilty about the whole thing but him admitting to making sure she was safe made her heart trip over itself."I didn't mean to get drunk, just buzzed but I messed that up." She frowned, just like everything else. What kind of perfect daughter was the supposed to be if she couldn't get the smallest things right?

"That's okay, we're trying to fix that," Brody pointed out as he pushed the sandwich in her hand up to her mouth. "Eating something will definitely help you." He wondered if she had any Advil to keep on the nightstand, so she didn't have to suffer too long with a headache if the hangover was that bad.

Maya looked down at the sandwich, bile rising in her throat as her first instinct was to push it away from her face but then she remembered: a perfect girl wouldn't do that in front of another person. "Okay." She said softly, starting to nibble at the sandwich as she looked down at her feet but continued to lean against him a little.

Brody made a face as she nibbled at the sandwich, “No, you need to take big bites, it’s going to take you hours to finish that.” He wondered if she was part squirrel, nibbling as if she was trying to hoard for winter instead of soak up alcohol. He would have just shoved the whole sandwich in his mouth, which is what he did after letting her shoulders go for a moment, picked up one of the sandwiches she had picked out, and popped the whole thing in his mouth.

Maya blinked, looking up at him when he called her out about her eating. She tried not to sigh, at least he noticed and said something but it wasn't like she really wanted anyone to catch on to what she was doing to herself. It was her body and her decision. Besides, she was fine so far. When he let go of her she focused on staying steady but her eyes widened when he chowed down on his sandwich in one go. "How the heck?" She mumbled, looking down at her sandwich then shoved it into her mouth, nose scrunching as she chewed it up and swallowed, coughing slightly.

Brody licked his fingers clean before opening the door to the girls dorm for her, "Practice, had to eat my sandwich before Blake ate it." he laughed, his brother and him often stole each other's food when the other wasn't looking or was too slow. He was happy when she followed suit, though wondered if the bread had been too dry. "Drink some water, here." he'd grabbed a bottle of water on the way out of the gym and held it out for her.

Maya's eyebrows rose, meal times had always been something that had tight etiquette for her growing up. Crossing the lines or not following the rules to a T often got them in more trouble than was probably necessary. The difference though was that where Maya and Lewis had learned to follow the rules Sasha openly ignored them, not caring about her consequences. She could remember her sister trying to argue that it didn't matter what fork was used for a salad...which resulted in her being sent to her room without dinner and being forced to write out the different types of cutlery necessary for a proper meal, which she hadn't done and landed her into being thrown into community service hours picking up trash by the road. Maya still didn't understand how her aunt and uncle had been able to get away with a punishment like that but had been too terrified to push back. "Okay." She coughed again before taking the water, cracking open the lid and sipping from it. She looked around the girls dorm, wincing at the change of lighting before starting to walk to where her dorm room was. She took out her student ID, holding it up to the doorknob where it held a scanner until it beeped and unlocked. She pushed open the door and headed towards her room, the rest of the lights off, signaling that no one else was there.

Brody smiled softly when she took the water, hoping with food and water the alcohol wouldn’t be too rough on her the next day. He followed her into the girl’s dorm, nodding the RA at the front desk, knowing visiting hours weren’t over for another ten minutes. After she opened the door, he stood there a little awkwardly even though he knew it wasn’t against the rules, but eventually followed her in. “Wow, so we all have the same dorm layout then.” He was slightly hoping there would be a difference, but maybe it was just easier this way for the school to have the same rooms for everyone.

Maya walked over to her bed, sitting down on it as she sipped her water. She glanced up at Brody, shrugging slightly as she didn't see a big deal in having a boy in her room. "I guess so." She said, capping the water and putting it on a bed side table before reaching down to unclasp the straps of her shoes but stopped, pressing a hand to her mouth when she suddenly felt dizzy and made herself sit up straighter. "Okay..." she breathed, "can't do that." She tacked on a giggle.

Brody slowly stepped into her room when she struggled to undo her heels. "Here, let me take those off and then you can slip under the covers." He wasn't sure if she'd go to sleep right away, but he didn't want her to vomit from taking her shoes off. He knelt down on his knees and make quick work of her shoes, since he wasn't drunk, and tossed them to the side. "Alright, do you need like… A trash can in case?" he asked, unsure if she'd need something to puke in close by. He hated having to run for the bathroom when the need arose, sometimes he didn't always make it in time, and cleaning up afterwards was even worse.

Maya sucked in a breath when she saw him kneeling in front of her, feelings the brush of his fingers against her skin. Her heart started to thump in her throat but she tried willing it to calm down, telling herself he was just being helpful but her brain wanted to push into more, day dream, but then it was gone when he asked about a trash can and she was reminded of how...unsexy this was. She sighed, "probably, there's one by the door you can bring over here." She told him as she reached out, letting her hair free from her pony tail and pulled out bobby pins, frowning when one got stuck in her hair.

Brody looked around when she mentioned where the trashcan might be and spotted it by the door, standing up and grabbing it. "The worst thing about hangovers is feeling nauseated," He chuckled, glad it didn't happen to him often, but Blake got drunk a lot more than he did. "Cleaning up vomit off the carpet after being sick." He shook his head as he brought the trashcan back over as she struggled with something in her hair. "Uh, do you need more help?" He asked, grimacing a little at the thought of helping her with whatever was going on and accidentally ripping out her hair.

"Yeah and the bad headaches." Maya replied but she was able to justify the throwing up, find the good in that action but the accompanying headaches made it all worse. She wrinkled her nose at the mention of cleaning up vomit, having given up on the stuck in bobby pins but when he offered to help she looked at him with hopeful eyes. "Please? Apparently I'm just a wreck now...I'm sorry."

Brody winced, "Drink that bottle of water, take some Advil, but still good luck. " he looked at her hair and felt his stomach churn. He reached over and too the bobby pin from her hair, and slowly worked it out. "What is the point of these torture devices?" he asked, feeling like they were a pain to get out just for putting your hair up. "I feel sorry for you." He told her with a smirk, holding out the bobby pin to her.

"Thanks." Maya drew out the word with sarcasm, this was one of the things she hated about drinking and having fun but she would endure. She sat still as Brody came near and worked out the bobby pin, a smile returning to her face when he called it a torture device. "Well," she giggled as she took it from him but reached up with her other hand, twisting some of his hair about and sticking the bobby pin in, unable to stop herself from laughing at how he looked, "they're supposed to make us look pretty."

Brody frowned, "What a waste of time, I don't think anyone needs this to become pretty." He told her, sticking his hands in his pocket after she took the bobby pin from her, though wasn't expecting her to stand up and put the pin into his own hair, shocked that it somehow stayed with how short his hair was. It didn't feel super secure, but he shrugged, "Alright, I should head out." He said, not wanting to keep her from the sleep she would regret not getting tomorrow. "But I'll see you later." he added, not wanting her to think he would just disappear after this, though he wasn't sure where he'd go at this school.

Maya's nose scrunched slightly, she thought it had helped her look pretty but holding her hair in place. She managed to smile as the bobby pin stayed in his hair, holding back that little bit of disappointment when he said he had to head out. She stood next to his bed and nodded, "okay...thank you...I had a good time tonight." She said, really meaning it as she looked up at him, pausing for a moment before leaning up and lightly kissing his cheek then stepped away and crawled into bed.

"Oh yea, I had a lot of fun tonight." Brody smiled, he figured watching his brother and friend hang out with girls, he would be standing alone without finding Maya. He froze when she kissed his cheek, his stomach dropped like a roller coaster from panic at what to do. He opened his mouth to say something, but he wasn't sure what was the right thing to say. He was also feeling a tingle sensation in his toes, growing up his legs at the fact a girl kissed him. His brother was always the one girls approached, even though he kind of was moody. He wasn't sure where it would go, but he searched her desk for something to write on and a pen maybe, He ended up with a pencil and a little flower note pad, making him smile because it felt like it would fit her vibe.
'Text me when you wake up so I know you didn't die.'
He closed her door slowly and headed out into the hallway, debating on going back to the gym to see if Reed got lucky or was rejected, of if maybe Blake returned. He had a feeling his brother was in the girls dorm he was with, and headed back to his own instead. Deciding to end the night playing something, He smiled, because he was perfectly happy how the night ended.
