Lizzie is attending Akron University, Jane was with her attending school as well. Lizzie a sophomore and Jane is a senior.
Lizzie went out for her usual morning run. She looked across the street at the blood bank that was across from the track. She thought " I am a long way from the country now.". Soon she was finished with her lap, she headed back to the dorm room that Jane and herself shared. Jane was just hanging up the phone was Lizzie enter.
" Lizzie I was just invited to a party at Caroline's sorority . She wants me to meet her brother." Jane cried out happily.
" I hate to burst your bubble but, what has this to do with me?" Lizzie asked while running in place her eyes locked on her sister's.
" Well Lizzie I was hoping that you would come with me." Jane answered sheepishly.
" Jane do you really want me to go? I mean really, really, really?" she asked with a grin. Knowing Jane was nervous.
" Yes please come with me Lizzie please, I know that you don't like parties but, please for me." Jane asked giving the puppy dog eyes.
" Okay for you I will, but don't think that I will dress up or, have a good time. Okay?" Lizzie said with a grin.
Jane jumped up. " Just be your normal self that all I ask. Thank you Lizzie, I love you." Jane said kissing her sister on the forehead, jumping for joy and running for her closet all at the same time.
" What are you doing?" Lizzie asked raising an eyebrow.
" Getting ready of course. Didn't I tell you it was tonight." Jane said with an innocent smile.
" No, you didn't Jane." Lizzie coldly stated, her mouth a grim line. She really didn't want to go to any party that witch Caroline was gonna be at but, she already promised Jane, she just thought she was gonna get more to mentally prepare.
Lizzie headed off to her closet as well to get ready for this disaster. She got dressed choosing a pair of jeans, faded blue of course and a black tee that said, " I'm here whatever." on it in white letters. She thought this was appropriate for the occasion.
Moments later Jane emerged from the bathroom. She was wearing an ice blue silk dress that touched the ground. It clung perfectly to all her curves, her hair was pinned up in a bun with tendrils falling so gracefully framing her face perfectly. She looked beautiful, she must have saved forever to buy that dress, Lizzie thought.
" What do you think?" Jane asked looking at herself in the mirror, spotting all her own imperfections.
" You look perfect Janey, better than ever." Lizzie said with a smile.
After Jane telling Lizzie that she looked amazing, which Lizzie knew was false. They headed to the party. Jane was so excited she talked the entire way there, Lizzie on the other hand was sulking the whole way.
Upon arrival Lizzie knew this wasn't her scene. They were all dressed to the nines and they were all looking at her as if she was a bug. She didn't care, she was only here for Jane's sake.
Jane worked her way around the party talking to all her friends. She was enjoying herself and that made Lizzie happy. When they finally worked there way around to Caroline, Lizzie sighed.
" Hey Janey, come here and meet my brother." Caroline called. Jane obeyed and Lizzie followed. They walked up to Caroline who was standing beside a tall totally hot blond guy and an equally hot dark haired man. Lizzie hoped that the darker haired one wasn't Caroline's brother because she had a thing for the tall dark and handsome ones. He had another great feature which was his ocean blue eyes.
" Janey this is my brother Charles." she said motioning to the blond. Lizzie mentally jumped for joy. " Charles this is my good friend Jane, the one I have been telling you so much about." Charles smiled at Jane looking her over head to toe approving all he saw. Caroline continued. " My brother is up on vacation from OSU." she finished.
" Well Jane it is a pleasure to meet you and who is this? " he said smiling and nodding at Lizzie.
" This is my sister Lizzie, she attends school here with me." Jane said looking down with a shy smile when he attempted to met her eyes.
Suddenly someone's clearing their throat interrupting there conversation. They all realized that it was the tall dark haired man.
" I am sorry. This is my friend William Darcy. He is from OSU as well." he said. Jane meeting his gaze at least. Lizzie jumped in suddenly.
"Well William Darcy it is nice to meet you." she said with a smile attempting to capture his gaze.
" Yes miss Lizzie it is a pleasure as well." he said meeting her gaze at last.
Caroline, Charles and, Jane were all talking but, Lizzie didn't hear a word of it. She was lost in the sea that was Williams eyes. They were the most beautiful clear dark blue she had ever seen. He was a very tall man taller than herself and Charles, with broad shoulders and what looked like some definite muscle tone under that teeshirt. She choose to break the spell.
" So Mr. Darcy what do you study at the great OSU?" she asked with pleasure in her voice.
" Law. Please don't call me Mr. Darcy that is my father's name call me Will." he said
" Darcy is that like Darcy hall Darcy?" she asked realizing the coincidence.
" Yes my father donates a lot of money to AU as well as OSU." he answered his smile tight and his face redding.
" I live in Darcy Hall." she stated and that was the last of that subject.
" What is your major?" Darcy asked.
" Lit." she answered and before she could say more she was tapped on the shoulder by a good looking tall blond.
" Would you like to dance?" he asked. And of course she said yes. Hello he was after all hot.
" Will it was nice you." she threw back at Will as she headed off to dance.
Darcy POV
Lizzie danced the next few dance with the tall blond. She looked like she was having a great time of it to. Will finally go up the courage to go over and ask her to dance with him, he had wanted to before but was just to shy and didn't want her to think he was a loser when she realized that he couldn't dance. He brushed his hand softly over her shoulder when he approached and watched as she turned.
" Lizzie would you like to dance with me?" he asked all a rush. Now that he had asked he could see where it wasn't a good idea, he was more a ballroom guy that a party guy.
" Sure." she answered not seeming happy or sad that he had asked.
She began to dance to the next song and he just kinda stood there in front of her. She seemed to want him to dance, she soon pressed her body against him, looking up at his face for a reaction. He had none, he was nervous but, happy that a girl like her would even try to get him to join although he had asked he was now to embarrassed to move. She then turn to move her body against his, his own body moved against hers against his will, he was enjoying himself though. She was so soft and fun to be around. A slow song came on and, she placed her arms around his shoulder and his went to her waist and they danced to that as well.
Caroline's POV
Caroline looked all over for Will, he was not standing against any of the walls or, sitting down anywhere, " Where is he?" she thought. She looked out at the sea of dancing bodies, one caught her eye, Lizzie Bennet. She then realized that she was dancing with none other than Will. That vile Lizzie had the nerve to dance with her Will. She immediately headed over and tapped Lizzie on shoulder.
" Lizzie would you mind if I cut in?" she asked. Lizzie didn't get a chance to answer, because Will answered for her.
" No Caroline not now." he answered coldly.
" Fine." she said coldly. she huffed away. She was going to get that Vile Lizzie for messing with her.
Darcy POV
Soon the song ended and Will thought it was only polite to go and see what Caroline wanted. He walked over to Caroline who was surrounded by a group of her bitchy friends. She turned and smiled as he approached.
" Will I am glad you came over." she said with what she thought was a seductive smile. She then waved an arm to dismiss her minions. She smiled at him yet again.
" What's up Caroline?" he asked his tone frustrated.
" Uhh..." she said trailing off, as she looked at the scene behind him.
Lizzie's POV
Will had just left her went Caroline's evil minions surrounded her.
" Hey Lizzie, I love your shirt." one of them said her voice dripping with fake sweetness.
" Thank you." she answered. Then she decided it was time to get out of there, she headed for a gap between two of them, she was pushed back.
" So William Darcy huh? Don't you think he's a little out of your league?" the witch asked.
" Why would that be?" she asked she was angry and unafraid to show it.
" Please Lizzie! He is so far above you. He is more suited for someone like uh Caroline. Don't you think?" the witch asked still as fake sweet as before.
" That would really be up to him wouldn't it?" Lizzie answered hotly. " Don't you girl have someone else to bother?" she said attempting to shove past them, but she was pushed back they were surprisingly strong and forceful.
" Let me pass. NOW!!!!!!!!!!!" she said raising her voice quite a bit.
" Listen to me! You stay away from William Darcy, he is Caroline's. Don't make us have to tell you again." her fake sweetness was replaced with a threatening tone.
" Let me pass." Lizzie demanded, pushing the girl. The girl stepped back and slapped Lizzie clear across the face. Lizzie was to shocked to react before the witches all scattered.
" Lizzie are okay? Did those Witches hurt you?" William asked.
" No I am fine." she sobbed, her ego was bruised. she cast her eyes down and dropped here hand from her cheek, his hand instantly replaced hers on her cheek. He stroked her cheek gently, she found great comfort and this gesture not only because it was kind, but because he was touching her so tenderly. He slowly began to lower his face to hers, when suddenly a voice cut in.
" Lizzie are you okay?" Jane asked.
" I'm fine Janey. Are you almost ready?" Lizzie asked. She was a little upset because she was pretty suer that Will was gonna kiss her and Jane ruined it, dang it.
" Yes of course."
Lizzie quickly said goodbye to Will and headed out to the car to wait for Jane.
