[b][u]Location;[/u][/b] Assembly Hall, then Delilah's apartment
[b][u]Interacting With;[/u][/b] Vivian Corette-- [@Altered Tundra][/center][hr][hr]

By the time Delilah and Vi had settled into their seats, the assembly had begun. It was the same as it was every year and while Delilah understood there were new, first-year students that had never heard the speech before, they should at least mix it up a bit for all of the returning students. She sat up straight and did her best to pay attention anyways, without yawning or zoning out. It turned out to be a harder task than she originally thought it would be. 

Well, there was one thing that had changed. Apparently there was a new headmistress and she looked strict. Delilah wondered why they would need a new headmistress as most of the other returning students were probably doing. At least she got her wish; something new in the speech to keep it interesting. 

Once the assembly was over, the two friends rushed out of the Assembly Hall with the rest of the crowd. Vi was gushing excitedly about a party though Delilah had some more mixed feelings on idea. These parties tended to have alcoholic drinks and other wild activities that she did not feel comfortable with. Though at the same time, it was a good opportunity to have fun with friends and make new friends. And Vi was looking forward to it, so she really didn't have much of a choice. [color=pink]"Yeah, I'm sure we'll have a great time,"[/color] she replied, doing her best to sound as enthusiastic as possible. [color=pink]"Okay, I'll see you then!"[/color] She managed to say the last part before her friend quickly zoomed off to get ready. She herself, decided to take a more scenic route and enjoyed a slow walk back to her apartment. Every once in a while, she literally stopped to smell the roses or other flowers that were planted on campus. Actually, she had planted a lot of them herself during the school beautification project. She took pride in caring for the flowers and was relieved to see that the staff had done a good job maintaining it during the time she went back home to visit her father for summer break. 

Eventually after maybe half an hour or so, she made it back to her apartment. She plopped tiredly on her bed and decided to take a quick nap before getting ready for the party.
[hr]
She woke up, and realized that she slept a little too much. She had awoken to the sound of Vi's text. She jolted upright and went to take a quick shower. She still hadn't decided on what to wear yet, but it wasn't like she was dressing to impress anyways. After her shower, she rushed to her closet and picked out a pink, laced dress. She dried her hair, and left it down in its natural curls. She applied just a bit of make up, some eyeliner and eye shadow to make her eyes pop, and clear lip gloss just to make her lips look all sparkly. She then got her white sandals and packed her essentials in her purse.

By the time she was finally ready, she heard knocking on the door along with a very familiar voice. [color=pink]"I'm coming! I'm ready! Yay!"[/color] she called out as she put on her shoes. Then she opened the door and gave Vi a warm hug. She took a step back and admired her friend's beauty. [color=pink]"Wow, Vi... You look absolutely stunning. You are going to make all the guys there fall in love with you,"[/color] she smiled, her words genuine and kind. 

She locked the door behind her and the two of them headed to Dallas' place. [color=pink]"It's pretty cool that your brother is throwing the party."[/color] she said, as they were walking. She was already outside and on her way, but she still was unsure whether or not she really wanted to go though she didn't show it. Well, at least she was going with her best friend so it should be fine.

The party starts late at night, and the moon was already out, illuminating the sky with its dim, yet beautiful light. She was glad that she was wearing a long-sleeved dress, or else she would be freezing. As they approached the party, there were a lot of people making their way in and already having a good time. She took a deep breath and smiled shyly. [color=pink]"Well ready to go in?"[/color] she asked, and while it seemed like she was directing the question towards Vi, it was really more for herself.

[b][u]Location;[/u][/b] Assembly Hall to Zeke's Apartment to Outside on Campus somewhere to Dallas' Apartment (the party)
[b][u]Interacting With;[/u][/b] Zeke Carter and Clarissa Price [@GoddessSophia][/center][hr][hr]

Zeke was not paying attention during the assembly. Then again, he never paid attention to it. But this time he had too many things on his mind which was different. Clarissa and that other guy was most of it, though he did think about the party he and Dallas were throwing tonight as well. By the time the assembly was over, he realized that he did not hear a single word of it though probably nothing changed nor affected him. He was going to get up and approach Clarissa and that guy but they had already disappeared into the crowd. No matter, he would probably find them tonight. 

Speaking of tonight, his sister said something about the party. [color=skyblue][i]"Damn it, she knows about it. Maybe she will be cool for one night. Dallas' place is huge anyways so hopefully I won't even see her there" [/i][/color] he thought to himself. Still, he had to get all the beer somehow. Maybe some other drinks for the girls too. It seemed that the party was going to be blown out of proportions and out of his and Dallas' control. Word flies around here quick apaprently. Heck, who cares anyways. It'll be fun, at least he hopes.

[hr][hr]

Zeke had already delivered the drinks to Dallas' place beforehand but had now went back to his apartment to get ready. He had plenty of time so he decided to work out a little bit, or rather a lot. It helped get his mind off, well, you know and helped blow off some steam too. Afterwards, he hopped into the shower for a quick rinse. He doubted Clarissa would be impressed if he was all gross and sweaty. 

Then he put on a plain blue v-neck with his varsity jacket and a pair of jeans. He wasn't a very fashionable dresser, but he didn't need to be to look good. He ran his fingers through his hair to casually style it up and put on a bit of deodorant. Glancing at his reflection in the mirror, he was satisfied with himself and made his way to the party. He saw his text from his sister but didn't reply. Worse come to worse, he'll just pretend he didn't see it and face her wrath later.

Along the way, he saw Clarissa, walking by herself. He was a bit nervous and hesitant to approach her, but quickly shook it off. [i][color=skyblue]"Just don't think... go![/color][/i] 

He went up to her, with both hands in his pocket, and said, [color=skyblue]"It's dangerous walking alone at night, especially for a pretty girl like you. Allow me to escort you to the party?"[/color] His voice was surprisingly gentle-sounding, despite his horribly cheesy line. 

As Clarissa walked through the campus, she soon noticed a familiar figure which caused her to come to a slight halt. Biting her lower lip; she saw Zeke approaching her. [Color=Red] 'Now what does he want?' [/color] she couldn't help but think to herself. The closer Zeke got to her, she caught a whiff off his deodarent. He smelled rather good actually...her jaw clenched ever so tightly, trying to avoid eye contact with him for a few moments; his blue eyes were just too alluring.

Hearing him speak, She couldn't help but let out a stiffled laugh [Color=red]"Wow...that is so cheesy. Seriously, the most cheesiest line I've heard you use all year." [/color] she told him and she rose a slight eyebrow at him. Clarissa looked at him in disbelief when he asked her to be her escort to the party. [Color=Red] "Why would you escort me? I think I can handle myself...thank you." [/color] she told Zeke, but she couldn't help bite her lower lip.

Her brown eyes scanned him over slightly as she looked at him once again; silent for a few minutes [Color=red] "Trying to impress someone, are we? May I suggest, cutting back on the cheesy lines if that's what you're doing." [/color]

Zeke smiled for a moment before revealing a mock-hurt expression. [color=skyblue]"I try so hard but I get slammed down every time,"[/color] he returned playfully, placing both his hands over his heart. [color=skyblue]"Clarissa Price is going to be the death of me."[/color] 

He pretended to fall over, then quickly regained his balance perfectly. His blue eyes were twinkling with excitement. Even when she was turning him down and messing with him, he could not help but like her. She wasn't like all the other girls; She was interesting; she had bite. He couldn't blame her if she didn't believe that he actually liked her; he had his womanizing days and he still could not help but flirt with other girls. But damn, Clarissa Price was still something. 

[color=skyblue]"I guess cheesy lines don't work on you,"[/color] he replied, feeling more confident in himself after their little banter. [color=skyblue]"But you know, the offer still stands if you need someone to walk with you to the party."[/color]

Clarissa rolled her eyes into the back of her head at his expression, when he put his hand over his heart and mentioned her name; she stopped and looked at him with slight wide eyes [Color=red]"I am sorry...what did you just say?" [/color] She tilted her head at him in curiosity. No one liked her...for her, let alone someone like him. [Color=Red] "Maybe you should try fawning over some other girl, like you always do. I am sure one of them would throw themselves at you." [/color] she simply retorted.

Crossing her arms over her chest; she noticed the slight dazzle in his blue eyes. She never really took time to notice that Zeke could be sweet, he was known as the Dumb ass, or 'Meat head' so to speak and mostly it rung true. He wasn't much of a brainer at class, even through he was the son of Zeus. [Color=red]"Do I look like the sort of girl that likes cheesy lines, butterflies and floating on clouds?" [/color] she asked raising her eyebrow at Zeke [Color=red] "Don't think so. If you want cheesy, try Vivian or her friend Lilah. They might appreciate your cheesy lines, more than I do." [/color]

She was silent for a while; as she glanced away from him for a few moments and she sighed to herself in thought [Color=red] "Why do you even like me?, No one likes me just on their own....You're.....the son of Zeus, If you haven't noticed, I've never been particuarly fond of you and your sister. So why me? There's plenty of girls you could try and win over." [/color] Clarissa breathed out; it seemedlike she was thinking out loud but her words were aimed at him too.

Zeke scratched the back of his head, trying to think of how to respond to all of that. Actually, he already knew what he wanted to say. It was something he wanted to say for a while now. He bent down and leaned his face closer to hers for a moment and said softly, [color=skyblue]"I said, Clarissa Price, you will be the death of me."[/color] He stepped back again before she would react in time to punch him or something. [color=skyblue]"Do you know what that means?"[/color] he asked in his normal tone of voice, straightening himself up to his full height so he loomed over her. [color=skyblue]"You and I are on the same boat, you know? Who likes Zeke for Zeke? I'm Zeus' son. I'm an idiot who messes around in the back of the class. But I'm not completely stupid. I know that you don't like me. You probably have me wrapped around your pretty, little finger and it's torture. It's actually one of the worst feelings in the world. To like someone a lot and not even know for sure why. To like someone who sees you as an idiot or a meat head."[/color]

He stopped for a moment to glance at her face. She had so many different expressions and he wondered how she would react. Would she laugh at his face? Would she bite her lower lips shyly? Then he continued, [color=skyblue]"Don't feel bad for me or anything. Like you said, I am Zeus' son. But I'll let you know how I feel, just this once. I don't want people thinking I'm soft or something. If you want me to leave you alone now, I will. Just say so,"[/color] He waited patiently for her to take that all in and give him a response. 

Seeing Zeke lean in closer to her; Clarissa caught her breath in the back of her throat. Their faces were closer than she had ever been to him before and it caused her to start blushing [Color=red] "I...I know what it means, not the first time someone implied, I'd cause their death." [/color] she glanced away from him, her brown curls falling over her face to hide her blush as she bit her lower lip. She could feel his tall and slim figure looming over her like a  hawk, she felt petite compared to him.  

Clarissa shook her head little head [Color=red] "I don't see you, as being wrapped around my little finger....you might be....well not the smartest person out there, but then again, I am not probably not any better with Skye." [/color] she shrugged her shoulders softly as she bit into her lower lip slightly. She then took a deep breath [color=red] "You're kind of sweet....I guess I just never took the time to notice....maybe walking with you won't be such a bad thing. Maybe you can assume me with one of your classic jokes, you always try and tell in the middle of class." [/color] Clarissa gave Zeke a soft smile, but it didn't quite reach her eyes.


She wasn't sure if she felt sorry for him; or something else. It seemed like the daughter of Aphrodite was having another kind moment today. [color=red] "You're far from soft...maybe the Mysterious type of guy....but not soft." [/color]

Zeke was surprised by Clarissa's answer, as he was almost ready to just leave. He gave her a bright smile, and the rest of his face seemed to light up. [color=skyblue]"Alright. I already promise to avoid cheesy lines for the night and no physical contact unless requested,"[/color] he said cheerfully. He finally felt like he was moving a step forward in their relationship. At least she was willing to be nice to him now. That was a start. 

[color=skyblue]"Mysterious? The tall, handsome, mysterious demi-god does have a nice ring to it,"[/color] he joked.

He lead her towards Dallas' apartment where the party was taking place, simply chatting and telling jokes. He was having a good time already and he hasn't even arrived at the party yet. He hoped she was enjoying herself too. As they approached the party location, there were already a lot of people. He supposed that they did take a while to get there, with their whole heart to heart talk and all. [color=skyblue]"Ready to party?"[/color] he asked her before they were going to enter; Some of the attendees, noticing it was indeed Zeke Carter approaching them, made a path for them to enter. [color=skyblue]"Cool, huh?"[/color] he whispered as they walked through. 

Clarissa saw the surprise on his face, but she couldn't help but smile back at him softly. She bit her lower lip and she nodded [Color=red] "Thanks...I think." [/color] she told him, when he mentioned no physical contact unless it was requested/wanted. As they walked and chatted; Clarissa couldn't help but laugh at his jokes, they were pretty good. For once, it felt nice being 'herself' and talking to someone that understood her...being around someone that was like her in a way. Maybe she and Zeke were more alike, than she would have first given him credit for.

As he joked about being Mysterious, she shook her head smiling [color=red] "Mhhh...fits you too a tee." [/color]

When they reached Dallas's aparment, Clarissa noticed the crowd; it seemed like the word spread around already. More people had shown up than in previous years.  She took the scene in and she gave Zeke a soft smile [color=red] "You bet...you getting your groove on?" [/color] she playfully nudged him as they walked inside. To Clarissa's surprise, she noticed how spacious and impressive Dallas's apartment looked for the party. [Color=red] "Wow...well this is impressive." [/Color] she breathed out before her brown eyes landed on Zeke once again.

Zeke grinned mischeviously as Clarissa nudged him. [color=skyblue]"Woah, Missy. No phsyical contact without a request, remember? I'm going to have to get my lawyer."[/color] he playfully returned. After a short pause he sighed, [color=skyblue]"Well, just this once, I'll let you off the hook. But you're going to have to be more careful next time."[/color] He gave her a wink. 

Before he could offer to get Clarissa a drink or even say anything while she looked into his eyes, some of his football friends ran up to him, chanting, [color=silver] "ZEKE! ZEKE! ZEKE! ZEKE"[/color] and all of them had to work together just to pick him up. All of it caught him off guard and he gave Clarissa a disappointed look that said, [color=skyblue][i]"I'm so sorry. I'll try to get back to you as soon as possible."[/i][/color] as he was literally getting carried away.
