"Yeah... maybe we all got here earlier than our host anticipated," Gabriel answered, looking around. Sure, there were a few people hanging around, but nowhere near as many as there could be. Maybe they were all off having their own parties or something, or everyone was at the one for which Claudette and Lance had left. Someone had mentioned that there would be alcohol at that party; perhaps those who drank had attended the other one whereas those who didn't, such as Susan, would attend the school-endorsed gathering.
"Hmmm... could use a drink or something. Can you see if there's anyone over at the bar?" Gabriel asked. "Doesn't look like it, though it might just be me not seeing them."
