The guest of honor of the party had arrived. It was a big party but originally hadn't planned out that way. It just seemed that most people were there to PAR-TAY. That was then, but now it had turned into something worse.

It seemed a small party of 5 or so had gone terribly wrong! It seemed that one person was heard talking about it then EVERYONE caught on so now the whole fricking grade was here! Invited or not. This really peeved Ken off, he looked at his watch. There was to be another five minutes till he told Serena that she could come. Well it was her party and originally going to be a surprise one but with all the people here and their lack of compassion. He seriously doubted that it would turn out to be anything that he had planned for.

Loud music boomed out the speakers, the latest Britney Spears song was playing. People were dancing around, laughing, talking to one another. The people had hijacked his house! Also, by doing that they had hijacked his stereo, his TV, his food. Someone had even snuck in a keg of beer and there were lots of party games going one, even spin the bottle was in full play here.

It was Serena's 18th, it was supposed to be special- the only time where she would be legal to smoke and get pissed! It was more than that though- the time where she was certain that school was going to end, it was the last year for all of them and they were going to make it memorable.

"What time is it now?" Mina yelled over the loud music.

Ken frowned as he looked at his watch. "Any moment now" He told her. "I don't think she will like this party though"

"Then why don't you just chase all these stupid people out of your house?" Mina asked.

"Me? Chase these people out of my house. Mina, look at me. I doubt that will happen I'll probably end up being kicked out of my own house."

"Ken. Afraid? Ha." Mina laughed. "I never thought I would see the day when I would hear you say that."

Ken smirked. "Get lost! Your not the only one with hang up's"

"Two confessions in one day! Boy am I lucky today"

Serena marched up to them. Vaguely aware of them in deep conversation and thought she might break it.

"Hi guys" She said.

Mina and Ken turned to look at her. Mina stepped up to her and gave her a big, giant hug.

"Happy birthday Serena" She told her, still hugging her best friend.

"Thanks" Serena said as they both mutually took a step back.

"Haven't picked up anyone yet?" she asked as she stepped up to give her other best friend a hug.

Ken patted her briefly on the back then drew away. "No not yet" he replied, smiling.

Serena looked around, her eyes wandering to the massive hordes of people who were dancing around, drunk then to the food which was all eaten and in its place there were now massive amounts of beer available. She noted that the whole grade was here, even if they all were getting trashed and sleazing on to each other. They were here for her.

"Thanks you guys. This is the best party EVER" She smiled. "But please tell me that you didn't invite any of the bitches"

Mina and Ken shared a look.

"Sure Serena, we did this all for you. I knew you would love it" Ken rambled. "As for them, I doubt that they would really come"

"You guys! This is so sweet" Serena hugged both her friends again. "What a way to celebrate my 18th"

After grabbing some beer, she walked out onto the dance floor hoping to find some mutual friends. A lot of people were moshing in the centre but Serena thought that she should just stay on the outskirts incase they decided to start moshing and accidentally crush her.

It seemed that now the party had got even more out of control. Noise attracted noise, and at the moment there were people here that didn't even go to their school. It also didn't help that Ken's house was massive and it was easy to get lost in.

A guy beside her turned around and started dancing with her. He was a pretty good dancer, and he looked older than the rest of the kids in the party. His dark brown hair shone in the light, as the colors of the disco ball reflected off his dark brown eyes.

"Hey there" He said.

The strangers hips swung in time with the music, they leant close to Serena. The beer was making her woozy.

She had never drunk before and now that she was legal it seemed like she would never stop! The beer tasted ever-so-yummy and whenever she finished one she had an incredible urge to drink another and another till she found herself very drunk.

So here Serena found herself, on the dance floor and grinding her hips to a handsome stranger who she didn't even know. It was very uncharacteristic of her, but she couldn't help it. She felt free! And she was loving it!

Warms arms made their way up here. The bare flesh of the bottom of her stomach quivered as a warm hand circled it, massaging it gently. Lips trailed up, over her eyes to her forehead and Serena found herself in a stupid splendor. Arms pulled her close until all of a sudden there was no space between them.

Serena murmured words of protest but they were muffled by a hand. Her protests grew stronger as she tried to move away.

"Stop" She protested. "Please stop"

She tried to untangle herself away from the stranger but found that he was strong, and unmovable.

A sudden push was felt, as the warm body on top of hers was pushed away.

She felt cold, and her hands instantly crept up to her arms to keep them warm. A warm jacket was placed upon her as she found herself slowly being led away.

She stopped. "I'm fine" She said. "See" Her words were slurred as her brain struggled to make sense of what was happening.

She wobbled as her balanced was shifted back into her own body weight.

"No your not" A voice said.

Serena's half shut eyes looked up drowsily as she registered what was being said.

Dark, intense blue eyes met hers as they pulled her close for balance.

AN: Here's the next chapter. I'm not sure about it; I found the parts where Serena was on the dance floor really painful to write and I really have no idea why!  Anyways, thanks to everyone who is reading and reviewing, I really like feedback so give me any and I'll be happy!
