Elias waved his hand dismissively as he took a step back from her.
"Party was lame anyway," he replied as he grinned at her.
"Are parties your thing?" Alyssa asked him. She couldn't help but wonder out loud because she couldn't think of a reason for why he was even there in the first place. Then again, it was probably odd for her to be there too.
Elias shook his head.
"Not really. I was just invited and figured I'd check it out. Free food and drinks," he pointed out.
Alyssa laughed and nodded. That made more sense. They had enough chips, pizza, and drinks to feed a whole football team in there.
It was the perfect place to steal a bite to eat. She didn't recommend the drinks, though.
"Well, I guess I'm lucky you decided to stop in," she said. She didn't want to even think about what could've happened if he hadn't been there.
Would someone else have jumped in to help her? "You kinda saved me."
Elias leaned against the side of her bed.
