Jake's P.O.V

"Wow, this place is packed!" Emma grins and Danny rolls his eyes beside me. I give him a confused look and he points to Meghan and Emma who are both grinning like they are planning to murder someone.

I raise my eyebrow at him and he runs a hand down his face in annoyance. He points at Meghan then at Emma, giving me a strange look. I frown and shake my head, not understanding what Danny is trying to say.

"Oh my god, don't worry." Danny grumbles and I nod slowly, looking at the window to see a huge house -- scratch that, mansion, actually. All the lights are on and there are people walking in and out of the place, drunken smiles on their faces. I notice a guy standing at the door with his arms crossed against his chest and I let out a sigh.

I don't fit into any of this...

"Guys, maybe we can just go back to mine and watch a few movies--" Meghan cuts me off with a glare.

"Stop worrying, yeah?" Meghan says, her features softening. "Just loosen up and relax." Meghan says and Emma turns her head and nods.

"Meghan's right. You need to chill your mind for one night and stop over-thinking this. We are going to have fun, right Danny?" Emma says, looking over at Danny who is scrolling through his phone.

"Yeah, so much fun." Danny says, boredom dripping from his mouth. Meghan scoffs and grabs the phone out of his hands, placing it in her pocket. Danny groans but Meghan just ignores him.

"Are we doing this or not?" Meghan asks, her eyebrow raised and Emma nods, the grin still on her face. Meghan looks at Danny and sends him a glare.

"Danny," Meghan starts, waiting for Danny to obviously drop the attitude. Danny sighs and rolls his eyes.

"Yeah whatever." Danny says and Meghan nods before looking at me. She sends me a small grin.

"What do you say, nerd boy?" Meghan asks and I can't help but blush a little when Emma turns away to hold in her laugh. I run a hand through my hair and sigh loudly.

"Fine." I say and Meghan smirks, immediately getting out of the car. Everyone else does the same and I realise that I am still sitting in the car when Emma knocks on the window. She motions for me to come out and I sigh again, slowly getting out of the car.

I look at the mansion and frown. "How are we even going to get in? That big guy is going to beat us all to mush if we even try to get in--" Emma places her hand over my mouth to shut me up. She points over at Meghan who has her hand under her chin as she looks around for an entrance.

"The front door." Meghan says and my eyes widen.

"Did you not just hear what I said--" Emma slaps her hand over my mouth again and I groan, closing my eyes for a brief moment. Meghan turns around and points at Emma.

"Emma, your coming with me." Meghan says and Emma nods, walking away from me and Danny. I look over at Danny to see him leaning against the car with his arms folded over his chest.

I let out a sigh and watch as the two girls walk over to the front door, confidence clear on their faces. They both stop in front of the guy and Meghan places a hand on his chest.

She is obviously saying something but since the distance between us is pretty far, I can't hear what she is saying. For a brief second, she points over at us, looking at me with a small smirk. She turns back and places her arm on Emma's shoulder, saying something to her. After a few seconds, the guy nods with a large grin on his face. I watch as he pulls money out of his pocket and hand it to Meghan who hands over a small bag of white powder to the big guy.

Is she... selling drugs to get us in?

Wait, why does she have drugs on her in the first place?

I feel my mouth drop when he walks away around the house to obviously smoke the drugs or whatever and Meghan waves her hand, motioning Danny and I over. As we both walk over, Emma throws her hands in the air.

"I can't believe that just happened!" Emma squeals and Danny scoffs. Emma looks over at Danny, sending him a frown. She walks over to him and wraps an arm around his shoulder.

"Loosen up, buddy. Come on, let's go get drunk." Emma grins, guiding Danny into the house and when Meghan and I make contact, she throws me a wink.

"So, are you ready for your first ever teenage party, nerd boy?" Meghan asks and I frown at her.

"Really? Again with 'nerd boy'?" I ask and Meghan nods, taking my hand in hers. She begins to pull me into the huge house and as soon as I enter, I feel a headache already coming because of the loud music.

She pulls me through the crowd of people who are grinding against each other and making out against the walls. Meghan pushes a door open and let's out a sigh, closing the door behind her and locking it so no one comes in. I look around and notice the room as the kitchen and on the table, there are about seven bottles of different liquids inside.

"I'm guessing those are alcohol." I say, point at the bottles on the table. Meghan walks over and grabs a bottle, looking at the label. She nods and places the bottle back on the table before walking over to one of the cupboards and grabbing out two shot glasses. My eyes widen when she places them on the table in front of me.

"Please tell me that those are for you..." I say and Meghan smirks, grabbing a bottle and turning around to face me.

"Are you ready to get drunk, Jakie?"

"Jake, just drink it." Meghan says, holding the glass in front of me. I shake my head again and push her hand away from me.

"There is no way I'm going to push away my priorities just to 'loosen up'." I say and Meghan narrows her eyes at me.

"What are your priorities?" Meghan asks and before I can even think, I blurt out three words that make me want to punch myself in the gut.

"Keeping you safe." I say and I immediately slap my hand over my mouth, my eyes wide. Meghan smirks and leans against the table.

"So you care about me?" Meghan asks and I shake my head, waving her off.

"No -- I mean yeah but... that's not what I--" I slap myself on the cheek and breathe out a sigh. "Do you like icecream?" I ask, changing the subject completely. Meghan stares at me, humor clear on her face.

"Icecream is alright." Meghan says, chuckling a little. I mentally punch myself in the stomach, hating how I feel so awkward around her. Meghan walks up to me, the shot glass still in her hand and she brings it up to my lips.

"Drink this." Meghan says and I shake my head once again, pushing the glass away from my face. Meghan let's out a sigh, backs up into the table and runs a hand through her hair.

"Why are you so innocent, Jake?" Meghan asks and I swallow the lump in my throat, not liking how the mood changed so quickly. I had a feeling she would bring this up and I wasn't planning on answering that question anytime soon.

"I don't know." I mumble and Meghan walks up to me again, the shot glass now on the table. She grabs my face gently and looks deeply into my eyes like she is looking for the real answer.

"You know... everytime I see you so hostile, I can read you like a book." Meghan says and I frown at her, looking into her green eyes.

"You don't read." I say and Meghan cracks a smile.

"I know." Meghan says and before anything happens, Meghan steps away and let's out a sigh. She turns around and rests her hands on the edge of the table, looking at the wall ahead. I am about to ask her if she is okay but the door suddenly bursts open and immediately duck out of instinct. Meghan, however, turns around with the bottle in her hand ready to throw it at the person who just kicked the door down.

When we both look at the person at the door, we both sigh in relief. Meghan puts the bottle back on the table and I stand up from my crouching position, looking at Danny and Emma who seem to be grinning at the both of us.

"Why was the door locked?" Emma asks and Danny looks over at me, a small smirk on his face. He walks over to me and gives me a high-five before patting my back.

"Sex in the kitchen? I never thought of you as the kinky type, man but I guess that's cool." Danny says and I nearly choke on my saliva. Emma bursts out laughing and Meghan shakes her head, a small grin on her face. When she meets my gaze, she winks and I can't help but crouch over again when Danny's words appear in my head.

"So, what were you both doing in here?" Emma asks and Meghan shrugs.

"I was trying to get nerd boy over here to drink but he just won't do it." Meghan says and Emma throws me a grin.

"I have an idea." Emma says and I run a hand down my face, sort of knowing where this is going to go to.

Don't you dare say it, Emma.

"Let's play truth or dare."
