Author's note: This idea came to me when I was watching a clip of 'One Tree Hill'. I am thinking it's going to be 3 chapters, possibly 4. I'll try to update as soon as possible. Hope you enjoy!

Parties were never my thing. Especially after the Wesley disaster at Connor's party last year. Oh gosh.. Did I really bite him? I still blame Allie. She just had to give me those books.
The party was starting to die down and their were only a few people left. Alli was in the corner with Drew giggling and whispering. She's ignoring me even though, she's the one that talked me into to coming. I still can't believe she took him back after the whole Bianca fiasco. I wouldn't of took him back.
Adam and the host of the party Fiona looked comfortable on the couch, casually talking and flirting. Watching them makes me smile. I'm happy that he's happy. He is one of my best friends after all. So, if she hurt him I would have to beat her up. Right? Ha. That thought just made me laugh. I bet I look like a crazy lady standing by myself giggling like a moron. Really though, me, 'Saint Clare' beating someone up?
K.C and Jenna were standing near the door bickering about something. Hopefully they're getting ready to leave. I can only stand being around them for so long. He was just… so… so… stupid. And her, she's a bitc… a whor… Crap, sorry God. Jenna is just a bad person. Yeah, a very bad person.
Only other person in the room was the boy that stars in my dreams. The dark haired boy who could make me blush in the matter of seconds. The boy with emerald colored eyes that makes my heart melt. The hearse driving, black wearing, smirking, mysterious boy. Gosh, stop it. I sounded obsessed or something. It's just Eli. Eli, my English partner and friend. Nothing else, nothing more. I do not have feelings for him. Did I? Maybe, just a little? Okay, so I had a huge crush, but it's only a crush. I'll get over it. I'll get over him.
"Thinking about me again Edwards?" A voice interrupted my train of thought. I didn't bother looking up to see who the voice belonged to, I already knew. I would recognize that smooth voice anywhere. When did he come over to me?
I didn't say anything, just continued to play with the hem of my dress. The dress that I had to fight Allie for, if I had allowed her to picked out my dress, my boobs and butt would be hanging out.
I could smell his musky scent, which meant he was close. Too close. He had a habit of invading my personal space. To be honest I don't even think the boy knows the meaning of personal space.
"I take the blush on your cheeks as a yes." he bragged. I still couldn't bring myself to look at him, but I knew that infamous smirk was plastered on that gorgeous face of his.
I scolded myself for letting him get to me, for letting him make me blush, for letting him make me nervous.
He isn't stupid, he knew exactly what he was doing to me and he gets pleasure from it. He knows exactly how to get under my skin and he takes every chance he can get to do just that.
He felt him lean against the same table I was leaning on and his arm brushed mine. I watched out of the corner of my eye when he raised his pepsi up to his perfectly shaped lips. Oh how I wish I were that pepsi can. Stop! He's just your English partner, you don't need to be thinking those things.
I guess he couldn't handle that fact that I wouldn't say anything, so he tried harder. He leaned his head close to mine and brought his hand up to brush the hair away from my neck. I couldn't tell you how many butterflies he was giving me and I swear I forgot to breath when I felt his fingertips brush my neck. He leaned in closer to my ear and made me shiver when I felt the warmth of his breath on my neck when he whispered "Are you nervous?"
I turned my head to face him. Meeting those intense eyes of his. He didn't bother leaner back away from me, he was enjoying himself to much. When I remember how to talk, I slowly whispered back, "You don't make me nervous."
He smirked at me and leaned just a bit closer and said "I beg to differ." Oh crap, I could feel the blush coming back to my cheeks, I probably looked like a tomato. He finally pulled away and acted like nothing had happened.
Again, I said nothing. I was defeated, so I just averted my gaze back to the floor and continued picking at my dress. I knew he was right and he knew he was right. He did make me nervous, I just wish it wasn't so easy for him to be able to know. He reads me like a book.
After a few minutes I felt him slightly nudge my arm, I looked up to see what he wanted, he just merely pointed his finger in the direction of KC and Jenna. They weren't doing anything, just was talking amongst themselves.
I looked up at Eli with a questioning look on my face. He said, "You don't seem to like her all that well, why?" This question just threw me for a loop, why would he ask that? Why did he want to know? And how did he know that I didn't like her?
"What makes you think I don't like her?" I questioned.
He shrugged. "You tense up around her and you don't hang around Allie when she's with Jenna. It's not rocket science, so what's the deal?"
He was right.
"We just don't get along." It was the truth.
"Why?"
He wasn't going to let this rest.
"Just something that happened last year." I shakily replied. I didn't like thinking about the whole K.C and Jenna ordeal. I was over K.C, but still the thought of what he did upsets me. And Eli didn't need to know the whole story.
"Okay." Eli simply replied. I guess he could detect that it was a subject that I didn't want to talk about.
It went silent again until I heard Allie, "Come on guys. I'm bored. Let's play a game!"
Oh no. A game. I could only imagine what game she wanted to play.
"Okay!" Jenna squealed. Ugh, of course she would be up for it. "Which one?" she asked.
"Um, truth or dare." Allie replied and wiggled her eyebrows. I grinned at Allie. I love her but she's seriously a dork sometimes.
All of us agreed and took our places, basically sitting in a circle. I didn't want to play but knew I would be dubbed the 'party pooper' if I declined.
Adam and Fiona and I were sitting on the couch. Eli took the chair to the left. Drew and K.C brought out kitchen chairs for them, Allie, and Jenna.
"I'll go first." Fiona said excitedly. "Uh, Eli. Truth or dare?"
This could be interesting after all.
I smiled when he placed his thumb and index on this chin and rubbed, trying to make it look like he was making a hard decision.
"Come on dude." Adam whined.
"Okay, fine. Truth." Eli finally told Fiona.
"Why do you drive a hearse?" she asked.
I watched Eli smirk and he chuckled a little bit. "It was cheap and it's different. I like different."
He did a quick glance around the room and I was silently praying to God that he didn't chose me as his victim.
Then finally, "Truth or dare, Adam"
Adam looked over to Eli with a devilish grin on his face. "Dare."
Eli didn't hesitate. "I dare you to sing 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' at the top of your lungs."
Everyone laughed a little as Adam stood up and sang to us, as loudly as he could the children's song. When he was finished, we all applauded and he took a bow.
"Truth or dare? Allie."
"Dare." Allie said proudly.
Adam smiled huge, "I dare you to go to the bathroom and wash your face, come back without any makeup."
This was a big deal for her. She hardly ever lets anyone, even me sometimes see her without makeup.
"Adam…." she whined.
"You have to do it." he told her.
She gave it and slowly went to the bathroom. A few minutes later, she came back with her head turned down.
"Come on Allie, show us." Adam told her.
"Fine." she snapped and raised her head quickly.
She did look different, but it wasn't really a big deal. She always thinks that she needs to have tons of makeup on. She was beautiful without it, I just wish I could get her to understand that.
"Truth or dare? Jenna."
Shew, I dodged another bullet.
Jenna didn't waste any time, she said "Truth."
"What's something embarrassing that your scared of?" Allie questioned.
Jenna was acting shy, she obviously didn't want to answer.
"Well…. You know the movie Dumbo… That one part where there's all those colorful elephants singing and dancing… Like they're basically tripping or something.. Yeah… That part scares me."
It had took her forever to get that out and when she did everyone started snickering.
"It's not funny!" She snapped.
"Yes it is." K.C said.
She hit his arm and he quickly stopped laughing.
"Anyways." she began, obviously wanting to get the subject off of her. "Truth or dare, Clare."
Of course she would pick me. Why was I not surprised.
If I choose truth, she would try to embarrass me somehow and I would be called a coward. If I choose dare, it could be turned around and bite me in the butt..
I saw Eli raise his head and look at me, obviously wanting to know what I was going to pick.
Confidently, I looked at Jenna and said "Dare."
Jenna grinned and I swear it was an evil grin. I suddenly grew nervous.
"I dare you to show us how you really feel." she said.
I was confused, what did she mean.
"Kiss Eli." she stated.
I felt my cheeks grow hot and I knew my cheeks were tinted red again. I could feel the eyes on me.
Now, I knew she was cruel and I knew she was sick in the head. I knew that she liked hurting me and that she got some sick pleasure from it. But, I seriously did not expect to hear those words.
What did she mean though? Show them how I feel by kissing Eli? I didn't understand.
"What are you talking about?" I asked without looking up.
I quickly glanced towards Eli and met his gaze. His eyes locked with mine and my heart dropped. I wish I knew what he was thinking..
"We all know you have feelings for him. So, why not kiss him?" Jenna stated with that smug look on her face again.
She was getting on my nerves. Seriously, all I wanted to do was get up and go slap that look off her face.
I stayed still for a minute. I couldn't not do what she said, then she would be happy and knew that she got under my skin.
I stood up, straightened out the skirt of my dress, and walked in front of Eli. I looked over my shoulder at Jenna and said "Fine!"
Eli stood up with me and just looked at me. The expression on his face looked like he felt bad for me. He mouthed at me 'you don't have to do this.' But I did, I had to do this. So, I did.
I kissed Eli, quickly. And I pulled away, quickly. It wasn't anything more than just a peck.
What happened next, I didn't expect. He grabbed my hips and pulled me closer to him. Before I could protest, his lips were on mine and moving with such hunger. He moved his lips against mine, coaxing me to join him. And as much as I didn't want to, I did. His lips were delicious. He was delicious. I felt his tongue slip out and lick at my bottom lip, begging for entrance. I opened to him and our tongues collided. It was as if an electric current went through my body. I let my arms go around his neck and rested them there. I softly pulled on the bottom of his hair and I heard him moan into the kiss. This was different then any other kiss I had ever had. It was so much better. This was full of passion, full of want.
I pulled away, breaking the kiss and ignoring the whispers around me. I didn't care about them. .
He still had his hold on me but let me go when he noticed me looking down at his hands. He stepped back and looked me in my eyes. His pupils were dilated and his eyes had darkened a bit. I
I bit my bottom lip and tried to read him. I wanted to know what was going on in that head.
After a few seconds of just looking at him I finally snapped out of it. "I have to go!"
I could tell that Eli didn't want me to go and he tried to reach for me, but I pulled away from him. I couldn't do this now and definitely not at a party infrot of other people.
I quickly walked away. I had to get out of there. I had to get away from everyone. I had to get away from him. I just had to run.
Author's Note: Hmm. Fail? Yeahh, It's a failure. Blahh. Some of it sounds a bit rushed, oh well. Reviews are always nice. Let me know what you think, please! :)
