Meanwhile, the slightly older member of the group, Clarissa, stands aloof in the group and does her best to be snarky and unpleasant towards Alex. Alex’s best friend, Ren, is trying to make the night a special one for everyone, especially because of how he’s into one of the other girls joining, Nona. Alex, a turquoise-haired girl brings her new step-brother, Jonas, who just moved to town with her.
