“His voice is fierce and strong. Stark is apparently in charge. They all stop and look at him. Then they spot me. They scramble to their feet grinning like fools. So this is Jade! One of them says. Another looks me up and down and says Dang! But then he glances at STark and scoots back a little. Another says nice to meet you and sticks his hand out. I slowly shook it. Stark did the introduction. This is Eric, he was the one who said so this is jade. This is Dallas, the one who checked me out. And this is Darius, I shook his hand. And this is Jade. I looked at all of them feeling awkward. I was going to stay in the house with a group of guys... This will be different. STark checks his phone then runs his hands through his hair. Its 2 in the morning. Lets call it a night guys. Come on! Stark shoots Dallas a look and he shuts up. Everyone marches upstairs including Heath. Stark walks over to a recliner in the corner of the living room I assume. I still stand there feeling weird.”
