`* the NIGHTLIFE loves life without me -- party;

[Toby Richardson]

Toby entered the club with a sort of bounce in his step. He wasn't sure what he was doing here, but some strange kid in the halls came up to him and shoved a crumpled up piece of paper into his hands. He really didn't have a choice on whether or not he would come tonight in the first place. His aunt had forced him, she said that he needed to get out and have some fun for once. Toby walked around a bit before he spotted Rea at the bar. He didn't really know her, but from the crowd, she was the only person that he recognized. He walked up to the bar dressed in black Converse, a black t-shirt, a light black sweater, and faded blue jeans.

"Hey, Rea. I hope I'm not cutting in." He said noticing she was talking with another girl, his voice loud enough for her to hear over the music. He ordered a water before turning back to her.

Riley walked into the club. She weaved around a group of people, ducking under a man's arm to avoid being hit in the head with a beer bottle. Riley wore a mid-thigh length cream dress with a ruffled skirt. It had been something her mother made for her years ago for her aunt's wedding. The dress wasn't too fancy or too casual. Riley walked around slowly glancing around to see if she knew anyone from school. She saw some people she recognized, but couldn't remember their names so she decided not to try and fake a conversation. Riley squeezed into a free spot at the bar and ordered a Diet coke before walking off and sitting on the free stool next to her. She watched people dancing under the colorful lights. It had been a long time since she had been to a club. She loved the chaotic feel it had to it. She tapped her feet to the music, taking small sips of her soda every once in a while.

[Cassie & Brett Hills]

I'll be posting a post with Cassie in here soon enough. ^_^ If I feel up to it Brett might be in here for a little while if you guys are lucky (; But he won't stay long or be sleeping with any of the girls (like that would happen anyway. his heart belongs to skylar <3) if I decide so.

rea looked up, seeing toby she smiled slightly, still wet. "hi." she said, making a face. she'd liked her outfit, and now she'd need a new one, again, and if ashley knew how much rea hated shopping, she would regret pouring the drink on her. rea would make sure of that. she didn't have backup or help like ashley might, but she didn't need it, she fought for herself ad got pissed when someone else did it for her.

"no, you're not." rea said, smiling somewhat. she glanced to carter. "you two know each other?" she doubted it.

sorry, rush order.

I shook my head, noting the new boy that walked up behind Rea. Hmm. He seemed friendly enough. Maybe he liked her? Well, lucky Rea. The boy was cute. A blonde mop of hair atop his head, a slightly muscular frame. His height, the way he carried himself, and the way he dressed reminded me all too much of Sam. I turned back to my soda until Rea called my attention back. I swallowed, the carbonation stinging my tongue. Erm, no. I choked out, my voice sounding awkward and squeaky. I wished Tai was here to make me feel safe again. Plus, it might be fun to have a boy on my arm tonight. I hadn't seen anyone get up to dance yet. I'm Carter. I smiled up at the boy, a weak attempt to start conversation, but I wasn't feeling my best.

[Toby Richardson]

Riley wasn't sure what she was doing here. She didn't know many people here it appeared. She looked around. There were a few kids from school hanging by the bar. She recognized two, Carter and Toby. She had ridden with Toby a few times, but had never really talked to Carter. So she decided to get up and go over to them and see if she could join in the conversation. She came up along Toby's side and poked him playfully.

"Hey Toby." She said cheerfully, actually pretty happy that she decided to talk to him. "Hi," She said. "I' m Riley."

Toby smiled at Rea before glancing at the girl near them. He shook his head, his hair falling into his eyes. "No, we don't. Nice to meet you, I'm Toby." He said a friendly smile spread across his lips. He took a sip of his water just as he felt a finger poke him in the side. He swallowed the water hard, before turning to see Riley standing next to him.

"Oh, hiya Riley." He said surprised. He hadn't expected to see Riley tonight at all. He looked at Rea and Carter. "This is Riley. Riley this is Rea and Carter." Riley smiled and waved.

ooc: sorry it's so short

God what was I doing here seriously? I knew the girl of my dreams would be here but I still came…. Out of stupidity. She turned me down after getting my hopes up. I thought she wanted to be with me. But I guess she just didn’t want to be held down by one guy for too long. She must have wanted to keep her options open especially for this party. Right? Hell if I knew. I was just a guy. I had no idea what was running through her head. Ever since that day I had just kept to myself. I didn’t want to get feelings for another girl again. I didn’t want the heartache again. But for some reason… here I was. I had entered the party rather quietly. I may be popular and an elite and most people knew me, but I just didn’t want the attention or to draw a crowd. I was just here to be here. I had no reason anymore.

As I sipped on my drink I looked around the club, my eyes stopping on Ashley. Keep moving I told myself. But of course they didn’t. She was whispering to her friend and then I noticed she was coming right towards me. My heart started to beat faster. Great. Coming over to tell me to leave probably. I wouldn’t doubt it. I waited for her to get closer. I heard her soft voice say my name. The nickname she had given me. I gave her a nod. Hey. I didn’t know what to say. Was that bad? Was I being childish about all of this? Why was I so nervous? God this was dumb.

How easily I'd started this conversation, and how hard it was to get past square one. I felt like I was talking to some gorgeous Gucci stud and couldn't find the words to say, but here was Junior across from me, slouching and dressed casually. He answered me, but stubbornly. I could barely hear his voice over the music, and that hurt me because I'd been dying to hear it directed at me for so long now. I could tell by the way he was sitting that he hated me. Or at least, I assumed I knew. And why should he hate me when I'd clearly come over to apologize? God, he was so fucked up. So screwed over, but he wouldn't admit to it.

I could see that he'd been hurting too. His whole body looked tense, anxious or nervous for something and I'd never remembered June being shy. I was the problem, I realized with a sharp pain in the pit of my gut. I was the reason he probably couldn't get any sleep at night or had to analyze everything he did in the day.

I didn't know why I did it, but I reached out to touch his face, maybe on impulse, or instinct. His skin was smooth and I trailed my hand down his cheekbone, before ruffling his hair gently. I'm sorry, baby. I'd moved closer so he could hear my whisper and now I was just inches from his face. Tears were welling in my eyes, something that hadn't happened since I'd 'gotten over' June a few weeks ago. I know it's late for an apology, but the ... the reason I left you at the tennis courts last month is that ... I was in love with you. And I am in love with you, June. I don't want this feeling to go away. I was whispering quickly now, trying to get it all out fast so the pain could be over with. Maybe he'd take me back and kiss me right here, maybe he'd slap me and I'd run out of the club crying. Worse yet, he could sit there and act like I hadn't said a word, or tell me not to whisper in a club because the music was too fucking loud. But I was starting to wait eagerly on his reaction, whatever it was.

OOC YAYY! my hundredth post! (:

What did this girl want? Was she here to break my heart again? I waited for it. But something about her actions and the look on her face told me this was not something that was going to hurt. She was hurt. But why? I was the victim here. Right. But why be so selfish. Obviously she felt bad. But why after so long would she wait and just till now come and appologize? I cared so much for this girl. It wasn’t like I could read her mind and could tell if she was coming over here to bitch me out or appologize or something. I was no a mind reader. But I could at least be civil about this. I would let her know that she hurt me but I would not be rude about it. Did she seriously feel bad? Hm. It made me wonder. Why did she do all this in the first place.

I had changed since the incident. I had become a loner. More secluded. I didn’t hang out with my friends. But now I look back and wonder why. All for a girl? A girl who broke my heart? But not just any girl. The girl of my dreams. The love of my life. But she didn’t want that. She wanted something else. More. I wasn’t what she wanted. And she proved that. Yes, this girl was the reason for my change. But now I see that it was foolish of me to change for anyone. I needed to get back out there. I couldn’t sit here wallowing in my sadness and grief. I just couldn’t. I probably looked pathetic. I then brought the glass up to my mouth to take a drink as the girl who I fell in love with brought her sweet lips to my hears. She spoke softly yet fast. I couldn’t hear what she was saying. I was too busy thinking of other things. But I felt her warm breath on my skin. It burned horribly bad. I took in a swallow of my soda and tried very hard to listen to her. But with the mix of people and music and my brain I couldn’t figure out what she was saying. But when she pulled away I stared at her for a minute. What did she want me to do? Forgive her after a few weeks of not talking at all. After she kissed me and then ran away. Played with my heart and then threw it away and tore it to pieces. I’m sorry love. It just wasn’t that easy. I wasn’t going to be another card to her game. If she really cared, she would have come back a while ago and not at a party. But in a quiet place where they could talk.

I gave her a nodd, took the last drink of my soda and politely excused myself. Excuse me for a minute. I walked towards a few other people that I saw. I wanted to meet others. I needed to have a good time and forget about this right now. This was suppose to be a fun night. Not with drama. That was not why I came. Hey guys.

What the hell? What the fucking hell? Why was Junior walking away? I could hardly think straight, this was too hard to believe. I'd apologized to a lot of guys before, but never meant it before now. They'd never walked away, regardless. Go figure the one that matters would be the one not to forgive me. It broke my heart. I stared at his retreating back and watched him greet a crowd of people he didn't know. Not different anymore. Same old June.

Somehow, this realization brought tears to my eyes, and I was crying. Tears slid down my eyes and the heavy liner blurred instantly, streaking down my face. I didn't even want to return to Harlow. In fact, Rea could come over and pour a Cosmo down my hair any minute now and I wouldn't care. I didn't even bother to get out of my barstool to go to the ladie's room and hide my disappointment. I just sat there, stared at my knees and sobbed. No one noticed. It was like nothing had ever happened.

OOC It's fine. I should be posting more, but I've gotten very lazy. =/

katie giggled softly at pax's reaction to her kiss on his cheek. she loved the way her hands fit perfectly into his. it felt...right. as he wrapped his hands around her waist, katie leaned into him, sighing gently as she gazed happily at him. her brown eyes looked him over as he sat there and she blushed a lot as she realized her clothing was not as amazing as what he wore. she was silent though as she watched his movements. "Thank you. You look nice yourself," she replied politely and smiled sweetly, revealing her brilliant, white smile. she was rather bubbly tonight as he took her hand and made her spin. she couldn't help but to let out a laugh as she twirled for him. "Well, who else could i possibly get all dressed up for, dear?" she asked with a smirk. she leaned into him, feeling his lips on her cheek. it felt so perfect and she closed her eyes for a slight moment. as she opened them, she turned her head and her lips met his. perfection for sure.

What a sweetheart. I could hardly stop myself from running the other way in embarassment. And I had never been one to be shy around the ladies. In fact, before I'd met Katie, I'd kind of had a player reputation. Things were starting to change, though. I grinned as she smiled at me, the compliment raising my ego more than a few notches. "You have a cute smile, you know?" I grinned down at the girl, the megawatt smile shining in my eyes. I leaned in to kiss her, a little flutter in my heart, but didn't feel it drop until it was too late. Katie's lips were on mine, and I couldn't believe she'd had the courage to make the move, but I was glad. I leaned into the kiss, my lips moving back and forth across hers, gentle but hungry. Halfway through, I began to smile too much, and had to pull away. The moment was just too perfect. I gazed down into her beautiful eyes, my heart throbbing and racing at the same time. I chuckled low in my throat, my stomach churning. "Uhm ... Do you want to dance?" I stuttered. Just my luck, a slow song had come on.

As I walked to the group of people and starting making conversation what had just happened began to finally sink in. Did Ashley really just apologize? What had just happened? I was kinda in a shocked state. Did I just walk away from the girl of my dreams after she apologized? Oh my god. What have I done. I felt stupid. But I didn’t want to be rude and just leave these people now. Not like they were really paying any attention to me anyway. I glanced over to Ashley and saw her. She just sat there and stared, sobbing. This was all my fault. Was she really being genuine about everything? I needed to go back. I had been an asshole just now.

I walked back. My knees and legs felt like jello. I was actually nervous. But why? Was it because of what I had just done and made Ash cry? I couldn’t stand the sight of tears coming down her face. What have I done. I walked up to her and put my hand gently on her cheek. I pulled her face up softly to look at me. I am so sorry Ash. I am so stupid. I walked closer to her and leaned down and kissed her on her forehead.

ashley ,

how did it feel being out on your own? no one to love you and nobody home
you don't know what you've got 'til you watch it go.

I sat alone for a little while, trying not to watch the people around me. I felt like I could have been screaming and they would have paid me no more attention than they did now. June didn't seem too uspet by my tears, that was for sure. I stared down at my glossy, tanned legs and wondered why he didn't want me. Maybe it was my personality, or the fact that I'd ran away when we'd first kissed. But that didn't mean I didn't want him now. Of course, I did. And I'd had a feeling that maybe, just maybe, he wanted me too. I looked up over my raised shoulder for a moment to spot him making conversation in the crowd, easy as cherry pie. I glared at the boy's frame and turned back to my tears and wondering why. He didn't seem to feel a bit of guilt about this at all. Boys weren't supposed to make girls cry. That was our job. But it was becoming excessively harder to wear the pants in a relationship, like I'd put on weight or something.

I didn't even notice June returning to me until I felt a hand on my cheek. At first, I wondered if it was one of my friends, probably my sister, but I hoped for June all along. And when I opened my eyes, my wish had been granted. He looked nervous, his eyes searching, knees quivering slightly. It made me bite back a smile on my lips. The tears beneath his hand dried within seconds between the hot blush on my face and the warmth of his skin. He apologized, and though I didn't feel like he'd said enough, it would have to do. "I'm sorry, too, June. The thing is, when I ran away that day at the tennis courts, I was afraid. Not of you, but how much I loved you already. Now, I don't want to scare you away, so we'll take this slow. None of the crazy stuff I've done in the past with boys. I want this to be real." I smiled through the disappearing tears, my eyes sore, but dry. My hands traced down his muscular arms to find his hands, something that made me full-out grin. It didn't mean a lot to kiss someone, despite popular belief. And June and I would, in a moment, get back around to that kiss we'd left unfinished. But it took something more than lust to hold someone's hands in your own, something I hadn't experienced in my whole life. And it was almost enough.

Pulling myself out of the bar stool, I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him again for the first time in months. It was incredible, sparks flying, like a fireworks show on the fourth of July. I could almost see June and I becoming serious, my first summer love. And even when school started, we would continue on feeling the same way we always had. No spontaneous end of the relationship, no running away from how we felt. Just me, June and the summer.
