When we pulled up to Landon's house it was just the way I remembered it. A towering house that looked rustic and mysterious.

I smiled as I turned to face Zander. "Come on its now or never!" I said to him climbing out of the car.

"I wish it was never..." He grumbled climbing out of Ol' Red.

"Where are we?" Asked Alex again.

"I'll let Zan-Chan explain it to you." I laughed as I walked up to the door, knocking.

I was greeted by Conner.

"What are you doing here?" He asked.

"I could ask the same for you." I said.

"Hey you aren't French." He said as Alex, Zander and I walked inside.

"Yeah... I'm not." I laughed and turned around to Zander. "Go talk to Landon. I'm gonna go check out this party."

He nodded and I turned to leave. I was wondering if there was beer here. There had to be... I just had to find it.

I walked through the crowd until I came to the kitchen. What I saw was not an unfamiliar sight.

Landon talking to someone a red cup in hand a smile on his face.

"Yo Lan-Chan." I said to him then laughed.

He turned away from his friend and looked at me. "Still using nicknames are we?" He asked chuckling as he pulled me into a tight embrace.

I laughed "You got that right!" I pulled away from the hug. "So how's life?" I asked.

"Eh. Could be better. You?" He asked taking a sip of beer.

"It's been fine. School sucks though." I said I glancing at the cup in his hand and he must have noticed.

He handed me a cup then chuckled. "Don't drink to much."

"I won't." I said taking a sip. I really wanted to get drunk though because sometimes that solved all your problems.

I glanced behind me and noticed Conner at the door. I had almost forgotten about him.

"I'm gonna go... mingle. But if Zander doesn't talk to you tonight, call me!" I said. His expression saddened at the mention of Zander's name.

"Of course!" He said his voice sounding upbeat and happy.

I turned and quickly walked over to Conner. "What are you? Like my personal stalker?"

"I didn't follow you here I just came." He said. "You shouldn't be talking miss I'm-from-France." He said glaring.

"Life gets boring." I said taking a sip of beer.

"I even broke up with Amy because I wanted you!" He said desperately.

I choked on my drink, then laughed. "W-What?" I asked trying to control my laughter.

"I thought you were true. Not fake like all the other girls." He said.

"Hey do you want to dance with me?" I asked.

"I..." I took his hand dragging him onto the dance floor before he could say anymore.

"Guys tend to over complicate things." I said drinking the rest of my beer setting my cup down on an end table.

I pulled him close to me putting my hands around his neck as he put his around my waist.

"See. Not complicated at all." I grinned up at him as we swayed to the music.

He blushed "N-not at all." He said sheepishly.

I felt my bun slip it was all ready loose enough. I reached up undoing my bun letting my loose dark red curls fall free.

I glanced back up at Conner but my vision seemed a but blurred now. Maybe I drank that beer to fast.

"Okay, maybe I was wrong." He said softly.

"About what?" I asked looking down at out feet then back up at him.

"You are pretty real. It's hard to explain." He said. I looked up at him and before I knew it his lips were on mine.

Time seemed to stand still around as we kissed. Big parties were nice like that. No one would pay any attention to two people making out.

He tangled his fingers in my hair holding me close. I just felt like I'd been in this place before.

It felt odd. It didn't feel right. Sure I had kissed lots of different guys, I'd done a lot more than kiss them, but this time there were no sparks.

It felt dull. Maybe I was just to drunk to realize it or maybe I was just getting tired of my love-on-the-run life style.

He broke the kiss and smiled down at me. I looked up at him. He moved my hair away from my ear and leaned down and whispered "How about we get a room?"

I laughed quietly Conner was trying to hard or something, I couldn't quite place it. I grabbed his hand dragging him off into Landon's house.
