"Where do you think you're going?," Jace asked me with a raised eyebrow as I quietly closed my door behind me. We were planning on going to the party tonight and were going to meet outside. Almost everyone was in their rooms for the night, so I had to be quiet if I was going to sneak out with the others.

"Just going for a walk," I shrugged and started walking away. He quickly caught up with me and grabbed my arm, stopping me.

"Dressed like that?," he gestured towards my clothes and I sighed. I wasn't wearing clothes that someone would wear to just take a walk. But I had to admit, I did look good. I was wearing my favorite jeans that seemed to fit me like a glove, a white t-shirt, and my black leather jacket. My hair was loose, but I was thinking about putting it up in a bun. "Tell me the truth, Kit." His arms were folded and he was looking me directly in the eyes.

Instead of lying since I knew he would be able to tell, I remained silent.

"You're going to that party, aren't you?," he shook his head.

"Yeah, so?," I pulled my arm away and began walking again. He groaned and followed.

"It isn't safe to sneak off campus like this."

"It's just a party. If you're so worried then just come with us," I responded and he groaned again.

"You can be such a pain in the ass sometimes. I was hoping we could have a movie night or something, but no. Now I have to go to a damn party to make sure none of you get hurt," he muttered and I chuckled.

"Nobody is forcing you to come," I pointed out and opened the front door, stepping outside.

Jace didn't respond after that. Part of me wondered if he was just coming to actually make sure we stayed out of trouble, or if he just wanted to spend more time with me. I hadn't really been spending much time with him lately and I did feel a little bad.

We walked over to the others that were waiting and I kissed each of them, except Harley. Eli, Logan, Titan, Cam, Jace, Harley and I got in Axel's large SUV and Axel began driving to the address Ember sent me. It took us to a house near the school Ember and Celine attend. It was obvious by the loud music and drunk teens on the front lawn.

Axel parked the car and we all got out.

"We are all going to stick together. Nobody goes off on their own," Axel instructed, looking at each of us.

"And no drinking," Jace added.

"But it's a party. You can't go to a party and not drink," I protested.

"Sure you can. You just drink water or soda instead," Jace shrugged and I narrowed my eyes at him. What was his deal?

I ignored him with a sigh and walked towards the front door. I quickly texted Ember that we were here and she opened the front door for us. We walked inside and I smiled at her.

"Hello," she greeted with a smile, "I'm glad you all could make it."

"Me too," I replied. The house was quite crowded, so she grabbed me by the hand and pulled me into a less crowded area. The others were following us closely behind.

She pulled us into the kitchen and released my hand. I noticed Celine leaning against the counter as Ember approached her. Celine was wearing a white crop top, pink lacy skirt, and white flats that had pink bows on them. Her cotton candy pink hair was loose and cheeks were sparkling just like they were when we first met. Was she fae?

Ember's hair was in loose waves that fell over her shoulders. She wore an off the shoulders black crop top, black leather shorts, a choker, and black boots. It was a simple look, but she looked damn hot.

"Would any of you like anything to drink?," Celine asked and started making a drink for herself. She looked around and I nodded. She began making another one and handed it to me when it was finished.

I brought it up to my lips, ignoring the many pairs of eyes I felt on me, and tipped the cup to take a drink of the fruity drink she mixed. Right as the alcohol touches my lips, the cup was pulled away from me.

I looked up and saw a scowling Jace holding the cup and passing it to Ember.

"What the fuck, Jace," I narrowed my eyes at him.

"We agreed that there was to be no drinking," he glared and I rolled my eyes.

"No, you agreed. I did not," I countered and went to the bar to grab a beer instead.

Why was I acting so rebellious? I wasn't sure. It had been so long since I've been at a party and I wanted to let loose a bit. I wanted to have a couple drinks, dance some; you know, what you do at a party. I didn't want to just stand in the corner and people watch while I drank some water.

The beer was taken out of my hand before I could take a drink and I glared at Jace.

"Why are you acting like such a pain in the ass? You aren't usually like this at all," Jace questioned angrily.

"What, I'm not allowed to have some fun? You're only around when there's drama," I crossed my arms and he rolled his eyes.

"I've been busy with school and helping dad with something. What have you been doing? You've been a bit busy yourself, right?," he stepped closer to me.

I noticed Harley was standing with Ember and Celine, probably explaining what we were arguing about. The others were beside the three girls, watching and ready to intervene if necessary.

I looked back at Jace and waited for him to continue. He looked like he had a lot to say.

"Don't bother denying it. I can hear you guys fucking at night. I'm sure the whole damn hallway can probably hear you guys," he continued. I continued to stay silent and watched him. "What's even going on with you? Are you just doing it to feed, or are you actually all together?"

"Wouldn't you like to know," I smirked. I had a feeling I knew why he was acting like this. He was jealous. It was the only reasonable explanation, right?

"Whatever. I'm just tired of you keeping me up all night," he rolled his eyes and looked away. I grinned and walked towards him slowly. He noticed me walking towards him and took steps back. He hit the counter behind him and gasped. He kept his eyes on me and I kept my eyes locked on his. Jace and I were standing beside Ember and I could feel all of them watching us.

I put my hands on either side of him on the counter, caging him in. I slowly leaned closer to him, stopping when I was inches away from his face.

"Are you sure that's the reason?," I asked him with a smirk as I leaned even closer. At this point, our bodies were just barely touching, and my lips were almost touching his. I could feel his breath on my face and any time he licked his lips he would accidentally graze his tongue along my lips.

"Y-yes, you are too loud," he muttered and his breath hitched when my lower half pressed against him. Neither of us moved.

"Ah. Too bad. I was thinking that you might he a bit," I paused and trailed a few kisses up his jaw, "jealous," I whispered in his ear and nibbled on the lobe. He let out a low groan and I could feel him get a little hard. I smirked and went back to hovering over his lips.

"N-no, not at all. In fact, I think you should just sound proof your room so I won't have to listen to you having sex all night," he muttered against my lips. I chuckled and pulled away slightly.

"Alright, if you say so," I grabbed my original drink that was on the counter behind him. I pulled away and took a sip of the fruity concoction. It was very good and I took another drink.

I looked at everyone and chuckled when I saw the lust filled gazes. Harley and Celine were laughing about something and Ember was staring at me and immediately looked away when she saw that I caught her.

The rest of the night was really fun. We finally agreed that one drink would be okay, but Axel didn't drink anything because he was driving.

We had danced for awhile and watched a couple guys play beer pong. Then we watched as a group of guys jumped into the pool fully clothed. It was really funny because they completely forgot to empty their pockets before jumping in.

About half an hour ago we were finally partied out, but didn't want to go yet. We were having a lot of fun hanging out with the two girls, so we went up the stairs into a large room that had a lot of gaming stuff in it. It must be a game room or something.

We were chatting about random things until Harley started telling embarrassing stories about me. As revenge, I told embarrassing stories about her as well.

Things got interesting when we started playing truth or dare. Yeah, playing it made me feel kind of like a middle schooler again, but we put a fun twist to the game.

The rules were the same as any normal game of truth or dare, but there was now the option to pass if you didn't want to do the dare or answer the truth question. If you wanted to pass though, there was a price. You had to remove a piece of clothing in order to pass.

Things got very very interesting.
