The trio was getting ready to go to the party for the first time since they've been at the club. "Help me zip this up, please Adam?" Clare asked wearing a long black dress that came down to her ankles but it was fitted and strapless making it more fit for a party environment.

"You look good." Eli complimented Clare sitting from the bed.

"Thank you." She smiled, leaving her wet curls as they were. The trio soon left and made their way to the building where the party was being held. They walked in and was instantly hit with the smell of sex and kids perspiring, alcohol and drugs. Come to think of it, it was a college party so they didn't expect anything less.

Clare turned and looked at her friends, "Do you guys want to get a drink first?" They nodded and walked into the bar area and purchased a coke as the boys got light alcoholic drinks. "You guys cant get drunk because Im not carrying you out of here."

"Oh yeah, I'll keep that in mind." Adam sarcastically chuckled. "Im gonna ask Clare to dance, alright?" Eli questioned Adam, making sure he would be fine if they both left. "Don't let me stop you." Eli nodded and asked Clare to dance. She nodded and took his open hand as he led her on the dance floor.

Eli turned Clare around before slowly gripping her waist. He softly kissed behind her hair as he grinded his groin against her ass, to the beat of his music. The volume and the beat of the music picked up as they both moved their hips erratically. "Bend all the way down for me." He whispered in her ear. She bent down to the floor, as Eli's back leaned against the wall. He bit his lip as he looked down at her as he roughly gripped her hips and deeply grinded into her. She ran a finger through her hair and lightly whimpered as his rough grip and pressure on her. He pulled her back up to him and softly gripped her cheek. She awkwardly looked away and he made her look back up, "Can I kiss you?"

She looked down in between them to think about it quickly. They were just friends, at a party, in college. What damage can a kiss do? This can be a step for her to adjust to the college life, right?

She looked up to him and nodded. He smirked and didn't hesitate in pressing his lips to hers. He gripped her hips pulling her closer as he begged for entrance into her mouth. She let him in and softly moaned. She soon pulled back, overwhelmed with the feeling. "I'll be right back, okay?" She asked. "Im thirsty." He nodded as she departed to the bar. She soon felt someone tap her and turn around. "Um hi"

"You're dating that guy?" She pointed to Eli.

"Uh-why?"

"Just a question."

"No, we're roommates."

"Oh well I saw you guys making up, just know he hooks up with random girls."

"And hpw would you know this?" Clare asked.

"Lets just a couple of hours ago, I was you. I just went further." Clare's eyebrows formed to confusion, "Whats your name?"

"Brittany." Clare nodded and didn't wait for her drink. She went over to Eli who was waiting for her with that stupid smirk on his face. "Who the hell is Brittany?"

"What?" He asked confused.

"Who is she?"

" I don't know."

"Well a girl named Brittany just came up to me and basically told me you guys hooked up before this."

Eli swallowed the lump in his throat and nodded, " But she's nothing okay?" He asked pulling her closer to him. "It was a just random hookup cus she offered in the moment. I wouldn't do that all the time."

"So youre not planning to hook up with me and leave, are you?"

"Of course not." She nodded and looked down, not really knowing why she believed him so easily. "Do you want to go back to the room?" She nodded and he led her out of the place and texted Adam, letting him know they were leaving.

They arrived back to their room and Eli picked her up and lied her on the bed. Before he kissed her, she stopped him, "I don't want to do anything, okay?"

"Um alright." He said awkwardly and sat down.

"But I didn't say we couldn't kiss."

"I'd rather not do anything so you lead me on or I get too riled up to stop."

"Um okay."She ignored him and went over to her bed. "This is why we shouldn't have done anything at all." She said softly.

"Maybe you're right." He said crawling under his blanket. She didn't like the vibe that was created and left the room. She went outside and sat on the lawn outside. She put it in her ipod and relaxed out there until she felt a ball hit her lip, "Ow.."

"Im so sorry." She a guy running over to her and took the ball and kneeled down, "You alright?"

She nodded, "Its okay." He looked awfully similar to Eli and she was mind blown.

"It wont happen again."

"Um whats your name?" She asked before he left.

"Austin."

"Nice to meet you." She smiled as he went off.
