The next day as I enter the school I see the whole school buzzing with excitement. I go to my locker,to my friends who like the others are excitedly talking to each other.

"What's up guys? I can sense the excitement around." I say as I join them.

"The most popular party thrower of our school is having a party tonight at his house. The whole batch is invited. Wanna join?" Brad asks.

"Sure! You all are going?" I ask and they all nod except for my party pooper brother and his girlfriend.

"Ashton and Ver?" I ask.

"Actually Ver's parents are going out of town tonight so we are gonna spend some time alone at her house." Ash says and Veronica shrugs.

"Ok! Now I am stuck without a ride. Great!" I say sarcastically and look at Sydney who drives.

She raises her hands and says "Brad is giving me a ride tonight." I smile at them,my ship has left it's dock. I look at Hannah expectantly. She nods her head and says " I live only a few blocks away from the party,I am gonna walk and Zach is gonna take a ride from one of his friends if you are gonna attack him next."

That leaves only one person. "I'll give you a ride if you want." Jace speaks up.

"Ok great." I say and smile at him. From the corner of my eye I see Hannah and Brad high fiving one another. This was one of their tricks! How dare they! But I am not gonna object.

"We will all meet at the party at 8:30 got it?" Brad says and we all nod.

"Get ready at 8 ok?" Jace says to me. I am about to answer but Brad speaks up "why 8? What are you gonna do for the half hour?" Brad starts smirking. I start blushing.

Jace maintains his cool and defends us "women take a really long time to get ready. So if I say 8 to her we will be able to leave till 8:30."

_________________________

Jace is gonna pick me in half an hour. I am already in my dress, a black halter top and white skirt with my hair curled a little at the bottom and make up applied. I am just adding some last minute touches to it. What was Jace saying about women taking time to get ready? Ha! He is wrong as always.

The bell rings,I grab my phone and heels, the short ones and open the door.

When I open the door I am met with a drool worthy Jace. He is wearing blue ripped jeans and a black long sleeved t shirt that is pushed back to his elbows. Hot damn!

"Hey." He says checking me out.

"You look amazing tonight." His voice is breathy and when I look up,his eyes are clouded. When your crush compliments you,you usually blush,so I did too,I blushed with heat creeping on my ears.

"You do too." I say.

"Oh no birdie let it out,I know you want to say oh Jace you look so dashing,smoking,hot and sexy." He says smirking.

"You wish." I say.

"Ouch. You hurt me right here birdie." He says with fake hurt in his voice and a hand on his chest.

I roll my eyes and call out to my mom "mom I am leaving, bye!"

"Bye honey. Have a good time. I know you are an adult but don't drink too much." She calls out. I roll my eyes again.

We drive off to the party in Jace's car. There the party is at full go,the music blasting off the speakers,red cups all over the floor,garden and near the swimming pool, drunk people making out everywhere and oh god! some people were skinny dipping in the pool too.

Us and all the others meet at the entrance of the house and enter together. There the people are dancing,grinding and drinking. As I see the other people dancing and hear the music blasting around I start swaying a little,tapping my foot following the beat. Jace notices this and grabs me by the waist earning a surprised gasp from me.

"You still owe me the dance in booty shorts,but this is ok too. Wanna dance?" He asks.

As soon as the words leave his mouth I hear a shrill voice scream "There he is,there is Jace!"

Drunk fangirls! A whole crowd of them is starting to form around Jace. Oh poor poor Jace! I feel so bad for him right now.

I stand right there looking at the girls trying to climb on Jace. These girls! Don't they understand that he is not interested.

"Hey Jessica! You look really beautiful." Someone's voice break me out of my thoughts.

"Thanks Caleb." I say with a polite smile."You look different today,really different in a good way."

Caleb does look different. Hot to be honest. Instead of his big glasses, he is wearing contacts that makes him look really good and better than the glasses. He is wearing all black tonight that makes his blond hair look prominent.

"Thanks. Wanna dance?" He asks.

I hesitate at first. I look towards Jace but he is still covered with his drunk fangirls and it looks like the girls are gonna keep trying till the very end. I smile up at Caleb and take his hand which he had extended towards me.

He leads me to the dance floor where the people are still dancing and grinding like crazy. He maintains a little distance between us which I am thankful for. The beat of the song is so good that it makes me tap my foot and sway a little. These little things turn into full on dancing. Me and Caleb are dancing like crazy now,doing crazy moves and laughing together. He has his arms around my waist now and my arms are on his shoulder.

"You dance really well Jessica." He says,his hands still around my waist. We are only swaying a little now,too tired to dance fully.

"Thanks." I say.

"You know what,I think you are really pretty." He suddenly speaks up.

I laugh. "Are you drunk Caleb?"

"Am I drunk? Oh my god I am drunk!" He acts like he is panicking.

I laugh,his arms tighten around my waist and he pulls me towards him and in return I pull my arms around his neck.

"Now that's it." I hear a voice mumble behind me and suddenly I am being dragged away,away from Caleb,away from the dance floor and away from the party.
