Jimmy drove Lux, Ellie, and Craig to Paige's party after the dance. Even though they drove there straight from the dance, it was apparent from the outside of the house that there were tons of people already there. As Lux and Jimmy walked in, Paige greeted them while sipping a beer. Her parents decided to go to Buffalo for the night and weren't due back for the rest of the weekend.
"Who are all these people?" Lux asked Paige as she looked around the house.
"Most of them right now are Dylan's friends. But more people we know are arriving," Paige said as she looked past Lux out onto her driveway where more people were showing up. "Drinks and food are over there, have fun guys," Paige said she pointed to the counter and then headed off with Spinner. Lux excused herself from Jimmy and went up to Paige's room to change out of her dress. As she pushed the door open, she was startled when she saw Sean, Manny, and Marco sitting on Paige's bed.
"Oh, hi," Lux said as she grabbed her bag full of clothes.
"hey Lux," Marco and the rest greeted.
"What's that?" Manny asked pointing to the bag.
"Just my clothes, I'm gonna go change out of my dress," Lux explained as she headed to Paige's bathroom, hoping there was no one in there. To her relief there wasn't. She quickly changed into a pair of jeans a t- shirt and headed back to the room. When she entered, she was about to ask Manny if she was going to change, but realized that Marco and Manny had left the room. "Where did the others go?" Lux asked Sean.
"Marco went to talk to Dylan and Manny went to talk to Craig," Sean explained as he watched Lux put the bag down next to Paige's dresser.
"And you're just going to sit here?" Lux asked Sean suspiciously.
"Well you're here now," Sean said. There was something about his tone of voice that made Lux smile slightly.
"yeah," she said. After a moment, Lux sat on the bed next to Sean. "So, did you enjoy the dance?" she asked looking into his eyes.
"It was ok," he said shrugging his shoulders as he straightened his hoodie. "What about you?"
"I thought it was fun," Lux said nodding her head.
"You have fun with Jimmy?" Sean asked in a teasing tone of voice.
"He was a good date," Lux said defending her friend. Sean nodded and then looked serious again.
"So it's my turn to ask a question," he said.
"What?" Lux asked looking puzzled.
"Are you and Jimmy going out?" Lux was so surprised by the question.
"What? No! No, we're just friends. We went together as friends," Lux said trying to emphasize her point. Sean nodded his head in a way that made Lux unsure of whether he believed her or not. Lux just gave up and shook her head to herself. "If you don't believe me I'm not going to spend the entire night trying to convince you."
"Don't worry. I believe you. Besides, I wouldn't want you to spend the entire night trying to convince me," Sean said in a suggestive tone. Lux narrowed her eyes and played along.
"What would you rather do?" she asked with a raised eyebrow. Sean grinned and responded.
"Whatever you want to do." Lux couldn't help but laugh a little.
"You are quite the enigma Sean Cameron," she said softly. She gazed into his eyes and some kind of heat passed through her causing her to blush. He was a lot closer than she remembered him being.
"What do you mean?" he asked his voice soft as well. The music from downstairs was fading into the room. Lux couldn't move here eyes away from his.
"At first I thought you were a punk, and then I thought we could never be friends, but now.now I think I rather like you," Lux said even more quietly as she felt Sean move closer to her. Sean smiled slightly before responding,
"Well that's good," he noticed Lux's give him a questioning look, "because I think I rather like you too," he finished. Before Lux could say anything, he moved closer to her, dipping his head down. Lux tensed as she felt his lips touch hers; then she relaxed. She felt herself being drawn into his kiss, into his touch. His hand was on her cheek, pulling her closer to him, and she let herself kiss him back. Sean's tongue grazed her lips, and she opened her mouth slightly to let him in, losing herself. Lux moved closer to Sean, wrapping her arms around his neck and drawing him even closer. He began to lie down on the bed, pulling her down with him. She felt his fingers run through her hair and heard him groan.
It was as though this sound snapped her back into reality and her eyes flashed open.
"Wait," she said as she pulled away quickly.
"What?" Sean as surprised by her sudden strength in pushing him away from her.
"I- I can't do this," she muttered as she pulled herself off the bed.
"Can't do what?" Sean asked hoping she wouldn't answer the question as he tried to compose himself.
"This!" she said exasperatedly, "I can't do this with you."
"Lux, we weren't doing anything wrong," Sean said trying to calm her down.
"I have to go," Lux said ignoring Sean as she began to walk towards the door.
"Wait, Lux!" Sean said standing up quickly. He knew he had to stop her from leaving before he could talk to her, but all he could see now was her retreating back and her hand on the doorknob.

Is Lux leaving or will Sean get to talk to her? Please read and review and I promise to update soon!
