AN: Hey I know you probably hate me for to not updating sooner! Im soooo sorry for that, but thanks to my awesome best friend, J.B Loinsgate, for writing this chapter for me(fyi- she helps me beta and we are like twins/ long sisters, jk! But she does help me with me stories that's why she is so freaking AWESOME!) Anyway, to the story!

Disclaimer: someone else wrote it and SM had the twilight idea!

Seth

Why had I agreed to this? It was going to end up as a disaster! Paul and Jared had probably just convinced me to ask her out for their own personal enjoyment, those ugly basterds would do that! I had no idea what a girl like her would like, hell, I barely even knew her, but god she was hot.

I attempted to calm my escalating nerves as I held the door open for her. The pulsing music beat directly into my ears as I followed her toward the large throng of people dancing wildly and socializing. What the hell was I doing here? I was tempted to turn and bolt out the back door, saving what little of my dignity I would have left after the end of the night. I had just started to turn when Paul and Jared caught my attention from the corner. I sighed and led JJ over to them, greeting them with a fake smile. Jared returned my smile drunkenly as they swayed back and forth, already wasted on the bars small selection of alcohol, but Paul was surprisingly sober and was watching a moving point over my shoulder. JJ followed his gaze and quickly looked away, her face blushing pink slightly. I thought about asking her what he was looking at, but I thought better of it as he excused himself and disappeared into the back room. Jared shrugged and stumbled back to the bar, ordering another drink for several ladies he didn't even know.

Adrian

I didn't want to be there, the bass thumped loudly, sending vibrations up through my shoes and creating a sick feeling in my stomach. The fact that every person in the club was either majorly hyper, wasted, or on their way to one of the two didn't help my situation. Nor did the dancing idiots on the light up floor in the center of the large warehouse Samuel Uley had the nerve to call a night club.

'Why do I have to come here? This is your date with Seth not mine!' I whispered in my twin's ear as she looked around the club in blissful ignorance to the intoxication of its inhabitance.

'I want you to have some fun, so while I'm on my date with Seth you're going to hang around. Dance, socialize, ah hell, get wasted! Just do something that doesn't involve books!' She replied smiling. I rolled my eyes and glanced behind me, wondering if I could bolt out the door before she could order Seth to stop me. 'This will be good for you, I promise. Now go!' She shoved me in a random direction, smack dab into a group of tall ladies clad in bootie shorts and what must qualify as some kind of tank top…

I hurriedly made my way out of that group and shifted to the shadow's, inching along the wall until I came to a corner that was decorated like a whole bunch of fluffy tents to provide privacy. I wished they did the same for sound because some of the noises that were coming out of those things were a little less than pleasant. I shrugged, taking what I could get and found an unoccupied one. I sat down on the half crescent couch and pulled the curtains around it shut. I was surprised by how much it shut out the music and the talking and the unpleasant moans coming from the neighboring tent-like objects. I could hang out here at least until JJ was ready to leave. Then I could grab some random loser's arm and make like I'd been interesting in what he was saying. I sighed and relaxed back on the thirty pillows that covered the couch, pulling out my book and turning to where I'd left off.

I'd almost gotten completely lost in Lucy's struggle for life when the tent unzipped from the outside and someone poked their head in. It startled me at first, but when I recognized that head to belong to Paul Merav I relaxed again and looked back to my book.

'This one is occupied.' I said simply.

'I can see that, your sister is looking for you. You're not socializing like you're supposed to be.' He dazzled me with his smile and pulled himself into the tent. It was bigger than I thought; I was surprised that the tent could hold me and him with room to spare.

'To hell with socializing, I'm perfectly fine sitting here and diagnosing the stupidity of Dr. Van Helsing for not recognizing Lucy's symptoms.'

'I'm sorry I haven't read Dracula.' He said lifting my book up so he could read the title.

'That fact does not surprise me in the least. Can you actually read?' He chuckled and nodded.

'Yes I can read. But if anyone ever asks about my drinking habits I'm a dyslexic orphan who can't read the legal drinking limit in bars.' I snorted and rolled my eyes. 'What?'

'It's just; you talk about that stuff as if it were as simple as doing homework. But you're destroying your intestines and your brain, you have no study habits, and your inches away from being kicked off the football team.'

'So?' he challenged.

'You're wrecking your future and you don't seem to give a crap.' I said. He was quiet for a moment, watching me.

'And what about you? You spend all your time buried in these books but you don't pay any attention to school or the things going on around you. What's going to happen when you get out of High school and JJ goes off to college, leaving you alone with your books?' I frowned and shrugged, flexing my fingers.

'I already have my future planned out. The second I get out of high school I'm going to go work for a publishing company. I get to read manuscript after manuscript all day and it doesn't require any college courses or C+averages.' He contemplated that for a moment, chewing absently on his lip.

'Why do you like books so much, what did reading Dracula ever do to help you?' he inquired.

'Reading books takes me away from everything. In these books I don't have to deal with a popular twin who expects a cheerleader of a sister, or top grades just because I can read and I can run in a straight line, or guys grabbing at my ass every five minutes. In here I'm standing beside the main characters, defeating monsters or studying rare medicinal plants.' I said gesturing to the tattered book in my hands as I spoke. He whistled, raising one eyebrow.

'Wow, you get all of that from a book? I see a page with ink on it. A door to information that I'd rather keep closed.' I chuckled and looked toward the tent's zipper.

'Does this count as socializing? I think it does…' I mumbled mostly to myself.

'It counts, you're welcome. I just saved your ass from the wrath of your sister.'

'Thank you then, now you can go back out if you want. I'm sure you'd rather be getting wasted then discussing books in here with me.' He shrugged, twiddling his thumbs awkwardly.

'Nah, I'm actually entertained sitting here talking to you. I never thought books and my future could be so stimulating.'

'Well, I'm glad I could entertain you. So now what? We've talked about books and our futures; if we discuss movies next this could be an old person date.' He laughed.

'Tell me about Dracula. I saw the Scooby Doo version once and it looked cool.' Thus launching me into a detailed summary of Dracula. I was surprised that his eyes never glazed over once, he listened to every word and reacted to it as if it were the most interesting thing ever. I was really enjoying talking to him by the time the curtain unfolded and JJ poked her head in.

'There you are.' She gave Paul a skeptic glance before turning her attention to the book in my hand. She moaned and gave me a look. 'You're supposed to be socializing!' She exclaimed. Paul reached out and took the book from me, shrugging…
