"So? Don't mind if any of my friends ask you questions. Like, they get really touchy on random topics." I say nervously, or probably embassies even though we're barely getting to the sorority.

I see my friend making his way into his girlfriend's large college house. "Pst, Jack!" I call out and he turns his head my direction. "You've made it!" He kicks the door open and we follow him in, a tremendous crowd already here.

Jack puts the case down in a tub of ice and puts his arm over me, scuffing my hair. "Sup, homo." He kisses my cheek. "Ew, yeah. Hey." I roll my eyes and push him away. "I promise I didn't drink yet." He tells me. "I know. You're usually worse than this."

He laughs and looks at Shawn. "Taylor, you never introduced us yesterday." Jack shrugs. "Right my baby, Shawn. And this is my buddy, Jack." I smile.

"Uh, you can find Johnson somewhere here too. And I'll be with my girl." Jack walks off, leaving me awkward with Shawn. "I usually like to talk outside." I say and make my way out to find J, the Jack Johnson.

Shawn pulls my arm before I can even move. "But I like to dance. Will you dance with me?" Shawn says and takes hold of my hand. He gets to the center of the room and already puts his hands on my shoulders as he's swaying his hips. His eyes shut, with a grin as he's enjoying the moment.

I lean down and kiss him quick, with his hands still trailing the back of my neck. "Whoo!" I hear a cheer. I part and look away from Shawn. "Oh hey Jack!" I give him a quick hug. "Hi, Shawn." J says. "You guys know each other?" Shawn laughs. "Sure do. He's my tutor." I give the two of them a weird look.

J pulls my hand and Shawn's as we get to a room. "Guys look. They wanna play too!" J sits us on the floor, "This is for you, Shawn!" He spins this bottle in the center and he purposely makes it land on me.

I look at him and Shawn whispers in my ear, "Let's do it." One of the guys opens a bathroom door for us to get in. I look at Shawn and think, we're not going to do it in here are we. "Stop staring at me and get out." I look at him weirder than I did earlier.

Shawn walks toward the window. "What did you think I meant by let's do it? I'm saying lets flake out on this party and go to our date now!" I gladly place my hands on his hips and makes sure he exits out safely.
