Willow sees all the guys looking at Alan with smirks as Alan looks back at Gray.

"Alan?" Willow says excitedly.

"I said I saw it happen, Gray?" Alan says.

"I don't know why you're looking at me she won't let me put my arm around her willingly."

"She wears your leather jacket," Alan responds with.

"You're the one who shared a room with her for a week."

"You're the one who slept with her."

"We did not sleep together!" I say turning to them with a serious face.

"Your the one who knew her since she was a kid," Gray says with a smirk.

"Your the one who has her ride on the back of your bike."

"You guys are making me sound awful," I say budding in between the two.

"You're the one who stole her phone and went through it."

"You're the one who suddenly decided to fight for her," Alan responds

"And you did the same."

"Why are you guys just automatically assuming it was someone in the group? And that it's between the two of you? This is not a cheesy love triangle." I say it like it's obvious.

They all turn to me. 

"L.J., truth or dare?" I say trying to change the subject

After a while, we all run out of questions and dares. I am able to keep from kissing anyone or telling anyone my secret so, pretty successful. Plus no one found out it was Alan so we are good.

We all end up getting lost in the crowd and I go to the snack bar to get a drink of water. I grab a plastic cup still in the stack and wash it out before I actually fill it with water and stand off to the side. I watch the party unfold as it more people show up till about midnight and the people coming in slowly comes to a stop. 

I watch as everyone starts to dance to the newer and more popular songs. I smile and shake my head as I watch different people try to dance. Not that I could do any better though. I am on my own until two guys come up to me. Adam and Tim. Known for flirting with every single girl every chance they get. They have dated at least half the girls in the school and broken up with all of them within a week.

"Here all alone?" Tim says as he stands in front of me as Adam stands a bit more off to the side.

"No, actually, I'm here with some friends." I know better than to say I'm alone around these guys.

"I don't see them anywhere," Tim says.

"They went to go find someone and go to the bathroom, they are gonna be right back."

"Would you like to come hang out with me for now?" Tim says keeping my attention.

"I'm okay, I am just waiting for my friends."

"Oh, come on. Do you want a beer?"

"I said I'm okay."

"Fine, we'll leave you alone, see you later Beth." He says walking away.

I watch them leave and I go to chug the rest of my water. As I am halfway finished with it I get a nasty taste in my mouth which makes me gag. I quickly turn and spit the little water I have in my mouth into the sink. Did someone mess with the faucet or something?

I hold the cup in my hand and my head starts to feel dizzy.

Gray's P.O.V

Me and the guys soon decide to go to the snack bar after a while and start to make our way till Willow shows up from the crowd and shouts after us.
