That Boy is Mute | Clem x Louis Fanfic [Highschool AU]

36 - Phantom of the Party

I thought this chapter name was low key creative.
Wig: snatched.

Clementine

The night of the party quickly rolled up, after a few short weeks. It was creating quite the buzz around the school, since it was open for anybody and everybody to come.

Entering the large house, which was obviously Marlon's, the young couple weaved in and out of people with connected hands. It's was very busy, full of horny teens dancing and alcohol being chucked.

Once reaching the overly crowded living room, Clem decided to wander off to get some goods.
"I'm going to get us drinks! I'll let Marlon know we are here too." Clem shouted over the music, which was blaring too loudly. The dread head gave a firm nod before she disappeared towards the back of the house.

Going off to one side, Louis was at the bottom of the stairs, thankfully out of view. But, there was a familiar face in the crowd that instantly made him feel off.
Seeing Erin in the distance, in the same room, Louis couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Not for himself, but because he didn't want her to get destroyed by his girlfriend's insane wrath about people who did him wrong.

He couldn't help but watch her, never once looking away.
Feeling a pair of eyes bore into hers, Erin looked over at the boy she wishes to call hers. However, he instantly removed his gaze after seeing her look his direction. Strangely, Louis expected Erin to approach him after the encounter. But she never.
In fact, Erin did not approach Louis or any of his friends for the entire night. Well, that was partially true.

On Clem's return, she had two drinks in her hands in the classic American red cups. Getting close to his ear, so he could hear, she yelled, "I got us both non alcoholic stuff. I wanna be sober at a party for once."
Louis couldn't argue with that.

'Good idea, you get out of hand with a drink in your system.' Louis retorted.

"Oi, don't be rude." She laughed back.

There was harmless back and forth banter for awhile.
After feeling eyes on her, Clementine's eyes glazed across the crowd until she locked contact with that same girl. Erin.
Furrowing her brows slightly, Clem couldn't help but silently question why she was still here and staring holes in the back of her head.

Signing to Louis, she said "I didn't know she was here. And why is she staring at me?"

He instantly knew who his girlfriend was referring to. Signing in response, he said 'I don't know. She's been watching me all night, but never approached me.'

"Is that a good or bad thing?" Clem questioned, still in sign, skeptical of her intentions.

Shrugging, the dread head replied 'I'm guessing good. Just because, I have nothing to say to her. I have everything I need now.' And gave a quick side ways glance to view her reaction.

Getting pink in the face and defensive in her voice, Clem shrugged, "Stop it you."

'I'm going to find Marlon. Will you be okay with Vi and Brody for a bit?' Louis signed, checking before he departed his girlfriend.

Clem nodded and flashed a smile. "Of course I will. Go catch up on your bro time." And quickly departed to her other close friends.
