  Clarke instantly ran into her room and shut the door behind her the second they got home.

            She was so excited to go to the party. She had not been allowed to go sense Jaha got elected Chancellor. Unfortunately there are just as many people if not more people that hate Jaha then like him. Unfortunately all of that love and hate fell onto those close to him.

            She quickly undressed, becoming overjoyed to be out of that uncomfortable, constricting dress. She hated it when her mother made her dress like that. She quickly pulled on her blue jeans and white tang top. She always felt much more comfortable in jeans than she did in a dress.

            She pulled down her shirt a little straighten out the wrinkles. She then put on her black combat boots and jean jacket. She placed the plane black mask she grabbed on her way out on her face then pulled her hair out of its bun. Letting it fall into neat curls resting on her shoulders.

            She than quickly opened the draw that held her underwear and pulled out the mask she made. She knew she was supposed to be wearing a mask made anonymously but she did not care. She made a mask that was panted to match the color of her hair. This effect made her hair and mask almost blend into one. The lips were painted a light pink and around the eye holes was a thick coat of black that made her blue eyes pop.

            She put the mask under her jacket in the inside pocket she added then walked out of her room and into the living room.

            “How do I look?” She asked her parents.

            “You look beautiful.” Her dad replied.

            She looked over to her mom who did not look happy.

            “Just remember the rules.” Abby told her daughter.

            “Yes mom.” She replied as she walked out the door.

            She walked down the hall slowly. Not wanting to get there before she had the opportunity to change her mask. A few more minutes past until she found herself alone. She quickly changed her mask discarding the plane black one in the corner of the hall. No longer wanting to waste any more time Clarke practically ran to the party.

            The closer she got the louder the music got. The louder the music became the more excited she became. Once she reached the party she wasted no time. She pushed her way through the crowed. When she reached the center of the crowed she started dancing to the upbeat song. She did not have a care in the world she just danced along with the song.

Turn the lights down low and let the dj go

Until the speakers blow

Straight until the break of dawn

And take a sip of Jack chase with a sip of that

There ant no turning back.

Clarke was having the time of her life until she felt some strong arms grab hold of her from behind. She turned around to face a tall blonde man in a green mask holding onto her still.

“Let go of me.” She told him as she tried to get away.

“Come on don’t be like that. A beautiful girl like you should not be dancing alone.” He told her.

He thought he was being cute but he was just pissing Clarke off.

“I said let me go!” She said again.

This time she was able to get out of his arms but before she could get away he grabbed onto her wrist.

“Where do you think you’re going?” He asked as he pulled her back to him.

“I believe she said to let her go.” Someone said from behind her.

She smiled under her mask instantly recognizing the voice.

Jasper. She thought to herself.

She turned around to see her two friends standing there defending her even when they did not realize it was Clarke.

“And who the hell are you?” The blonde man asked.

Clarke pulled herself from him and ran into Jaspers arms.

“Thank god you found me baby.” She said as she cuddled into him.

Jasper and Monty had no idea who this girl was but played along any way.

“It’s okay baby. I’m here.” Jasper responded as he hugged her close.

“Him really?” The blond guy asked looking at jasper.

Monty was about to say something to defend his best friend when the blonde guy was called away by his friends.

“Dax over here.” Someone called from across the room.

He took one last look at Clarke.

“Whatever.” He said before walking away.

Once he was gone she looked at the two boys.

“Thank you.” She said to them.

“No problem. I’m Monty and this is Jasper. Or should I call you baby now?” He teased his friend.

“If you ever call me that I will have to find a new best friend.” He responded.

When he was done Clarke instantly asked them if they wanted to dance. She wanted nothing more then to dance with her two friends.

They agreed and started dancing. The three of them.

We don’t want this night to end

We won’t sleep than we do it again.

“What’s your name?” Monty asked over the music.

“Not telling.” Clarke answered.

She could here Jasper laugh in response.

We don’t want this night to end

We won’t sleep than we do it again.

“Were having a party after this want to come?” Jasper asked.

“Not tonight boys.” She answered.

They danced for a few more seconds before the song ended.

“Thanks for the dance.” She said before walking off before the two of them could figure out who she was.

The song changed to a song called Single Ladies.

All the single ladies

Was repeated over and over. As the women sang the song the guys left the dance floor only leaving the single ladies.

“I love this song.” Clarke said as she moved to the center of the dance floor.
