The Less I Know The Better- Tame Impala

"Then I heard they slept together
Oh, the less I know the better
The less I know the better"

Darlene's POV:

"Ready?" Harry says, glancing to me as we approach the door to the frat house.

"Yup" I answer back with a sigh. I've already prepared myself for what may lie ahead regarding how his friends act. So I am ready, just definetly not excited.

His hand reaches out to twist the doorknob and the second the door is open just a crack the volume of all the chatter and music increases greatly. He places his hand on the small of my back to guide me into the mass of people.

Our first pitstop is the kitchen, and I already couldn't wait to be in a room that isn't as crowded.

"Darlene! Harry!" I hear Mitch say beside me. I turn my head to see him standing at one of the counters. I smile when I see him giving him a wave as he picks up two cups and begins walking to us.

"Made these for you guys, figured you'd show up around this time" He says with a proud look on his face.

"Thanks" I say giving him a appreciative smile before I take one of the drinks from his hands.

"How did you convince her?" he questions, turning to Harry to hand him his cup.

My eyes flash between the two, clearly there has been some sort of conversation between them that I don't know about.

"What do you mean?" Harry questions with a shrug. For a psych major, he's really bad at lying sometimes.

Mitch just gives him a knowing look, "There is no way she would want to come to another one of these after she came to the first one, I'm not that clueless"

"This is true" I chime in causing Mitch to point at me as if to tell Harry 'see what I mean'.

He just shrugs again, clearly avoiding answering his question making Mitch playfully roll his eyes with a over dramatic sigh before he turns his attention back to me.

"How'd he do it?" He questions, raising an eyebrow at me.

I laugh at his persistent interest, "I said I'd come to some of these if he came to some of the Delta Chi parties with me" I state before taking a sip of my drink.

His eyes widen before he turns to Harry trying to gauge to see if what I said was true.

"You. Harry. Are now willingly going to Delta Chi parties. I thought you said you hat-"

Mitch begins in disbelief before Harry cuts him off,

"Most of them, I hate most of them" he responds quickly, clearly wanting to change the subject.

I knew he didn't like Delta Chi but I had no idea he hated it.

"He must really want you here Darlene" Mitch says with a proud smile on his face giving me a slight nod. I return his gesture.

I hope we can just stay hanging out with him tonight, I have no issues with him.

"Harry!" I hear a squeal from beside us making me turn my head to see a blonde sprinting towards us before engulfing him into her arms.

My eyes widen at the sudden events, who the f-

"Aubrey! Hey" Harry responds in surprise but there's definetly happiness laced in his voice. After he seems to register the events he hugs her back before they break away...finally.
