Alex's POV
Two days passed since I got the job and I haven't really talked to Lavi out of the working range. She only showed me how to do the drinks and made me help Dustin with baking.
I didn't have a chance to talk to her with these two pairs of eyes glaring back at me.
A day earlier (Thursday)
I was walking to my next class, the next thing I knew that I was grabbed into the janitor's room. It was dark and I couldn't see who was with me in the room.
"What the he-" A hand was put on my mouth, keeping me shut.

So I was high as hell and drunk. Then I remembered being stopped by Alex and Dustin.After that, everything became all blurred out.Jaxon didn't let the girls leave or Dustin as they all drank, so he let us stay the night.
