This is short, I wrote it dutifully. I was orginally going to have chapter 5 be this chapter, but I couldn't leave out Danny Boy's Party!
Disclaimer: I do not get any money for creating stories about these fascinating people.
"No Relationships"
Saturday night was the annual basketball party Dan always threw. It was Audrey's first time attending as a cheerleader, and she wanted to make an impression on those who didn't know her. She picked out a black spagetti strap dress with a criss cross back. She completed it with light silver jewelry, black strappy heels, and her hair curled around her face.
"You look good!" Keith said as she emerged from her room.
"Thanks Dad." They left their apartment and picked up Lucas and Karen on the way. They arrived at the Dan Scott residence just in time. Dan made a boring speech that everyone had to sit through and listen. When it was over, Audrey left Keith and Karen to mingle. She found Jake hanging out on the backyard court.
"Hey Jagelski!" He turned around and saw Audrey.
"Hey! You look great!" Nathan walked up to them.
"You know, you two are pretty cute. Glad you back together." He left, and Audrey looked at Jake. He shrugged.
"What is he on?" She asked.
"I don't know. Something with a strong high." Audrey laughed, and they sat on the brickwork chatting happily. It turned to night, and the boys began playing a pickup game. Audrey sat back and watched them. She would've joined, but she couldn't exactly play in heels and a dress.
After a while, Lucas and Peyton walked towards the court talking, followed by a very drunk Brooke. She suggested a game of "Dare," and everyone got in on it. Nathan gave Audrey a dare.
"Show us you're back together! Kiss Jake!" Audrey raised an eyebrow at him, but didn't protest. She walked up to Jake. He looked very surprised as she placed her hands on his face and pulled him closer.
"Lucky you." She whispered. Then, she kissed him very long and passionately. When she broke away, he smiled and started to say something, but she walked away.
He followed her into the house, and outside to the front, where they collapsed on the steps.
"I do not get you sometimes, Audrey." She crossed her arms.
"I don't know if I can do this." She said.
"Then why'd you just kiss me? 'Cause," he laughed. "That was not a dare kiss."
"Well, I wanted to see how it felt, I guess. Can we just, lay off it for a while?"
"You know the whole school thinks we're dating?"
"Then let em think it. I don't care." She layed her head on his shoulder. "I just want can't do a realationship right now."
