(sorry guys! I didn't mean to leave for so long!)
Ash opened her door at the sound of knocking. "Are you guys ready?" She asked, rubbing the sleep from her eyes and yawning.

(I think Bridget is the only one there right now. And no sweat! :D)

Bridget smiled shyly. "Hey. Yeah. I guess."

"Where is everyone else?" Ash asked as she realized that Bridget was the only one there in her doorway. "I'm sorry, I'm being rude. Come on inside. My roommate isn't here right now so it should be fine while we wait for the others."

"I don't know. I didn't see anyone else yet," Bridget said, stepping through the threshold. "My roommate is sleeping."

Finally noticing Ash inviting others inside, Axtin waved.
"Hey!" he called out in a whisper, both for the sake of Matt and the fact that most were asleep.

Bridget didn't hear the call, but she caught a flurry of movement. "Leave the door open, more people are coming," she told Ash.

"That's a good idea." Ash laughed and walked over to the middle of the floor before sitting down.

Making it to the room, Axtin let himself in, releasing Matt's wrist. Taking a seat on one of the chairs in the room he busied himself on his phone for a moment. It wasn't long now until the "break in" happened.

Ash waved at Axtin as he and Matt walked in. "How many people are joining us tonight?"

Looking up from his phone, Axtin shrugged. "Not really sure," he replied.

Bridget hung around the outside of the room like a drifter. She shifted a couple times, but she stayed mostly stationary.

Looking around the room, he noticed Bridget standing by herself.
"I get that there's only males in the room as of right now, but why so stiff? Relax a bit," Axtin offered the girl. She seemed almost stressed just by being there.

Ash waved Bridget over as she didn't want her standing by herself in the doorway. "There's plenty of room in here. You don't have to stand outside if you don't want to." She called.

Bridget offered Axtin and Ash each a small smile, but she declined Ash's offer with a simple shake of her head. She hated being the center of attention in any way. Well… maybe one excuse.

Axtin's smile turned into a small frown. Leaning into one of his hands, he sighed, a bit disappointed.
"At least have a seat or something," he said in a lighter tone. He was being genuinely sincere rather than flirting.

"Okay," Bridget agreed quietly.

Grinning once again, he watched her as she came into the room, looking away after she sat down. He knew he was making her nervous or something along that so he moved his focus to talking to Matt.
(Gtg, night)

She tried to relax, but the butterflies in her stomach had turned to bouncy balls. She felt sick.
