By Saturday evening Lauren had already finished her homework. She reminded her mom that she was going out. She quickly changed clothes and having nothing else to do, left for Jeff's party.

Lauren had no problem finding the Sterling mansion. In fact she managed to reach it at seven. Great, she thought. She showed up for a party on time, something she didn't even do for own party a few weeks ago. She thought she was the first one here. Lauren waited in her car for a few minutes to see if anyone else would arrive. Sighing, and reminding herself that she was still a badass-no matter how early she arrived for a party-Lauren stepped out of her car.

She took a moment to admire the house. It was huge and beautiful. Frankly, Lauren thought it had her name all over it.

She rang the doorbell and waited.

Upon hearing the doorbell ring, Jeff hurried himself to the door. Opening it, he came face to face with a girl he had never seen before. On second thought, though, Jeff realized he might have shared a class or two with the girl, but they had never interacted in any significant way before. Smiling at her, he finally spoke.

''Hi, I presume you're here for the party? Please come in, you're the first one here so it's still pretty quiet, but nonetheless, feel free to make yourself comfortable. I'm Jeff, by the way, if this wasn't obvious already.''

He motioned for her to follow him as he reentered the house.

Sam had somehow manage to make it on time for the party, a grin appearing on his face once he had double-checked the address against the invitation Mercedes had given him - the place was huge. Still, he wasn't jealous. The Evans' residence wasn't exactly a modest one - and anyhow, anything was better than the motel his family had been stuck in back in his home era.

Knocking on the door softly, he was greeted by a blond boy - that sure brought back memories of his lemon-juiced 2011 self - who introduced himself as Jeff. After shaking his hand politely, Sam entered the house, taking in the sight. It seemed almost bigger from the inside. Spotting the food table, Sam immediately felt himself becoming hungry. He'd have to resist the pastries, though.

Taking notice of Lauren's presence after a while, he addressed the girl, smiling:

''Hey Lauren, how's it going? This place sure is nice...''

[just_mercedes]

Mercedes had arrived to the party earlier than she normally would have. But seeing as she informed Jeff she would help him with the party, it was only logical that she arrive early. Right? Though she arrived a bit later than she meant to. There were already some people there.

She stepped into the house, and decided it was high time for a drink. It didn't matter that she had just arrived to the party, a party was a party and alcohol made parties. She poured herself a vodka and orange juice, and took a sip of it.

She peered toward Sam, Jeff, and Lauren. She smiled at the two, "Hello! Nice place, right?"

[oemasam]

''Nice is an understatement.'' Said Sam, hugging Mercedes as a salutation.

''So, this Jeff guy, how did you meet him?'' inquired Sam.

''I mean, I've only spoken to him briefly, but he seems rather nice. If a constant reminder of some of my past mistakes.'' Joked the boy, gesturing to his hair, knowing the girls will get the joke.

[jeffsterling]

Jeff, his drink in hand, rejoined the other group. He greeted Mercedes with a hug, then smiled towards the rest of the group.

''Having fun guys?''

Of course, nothing fun had actually been happening, but the start of the party was pleasant enough.

''We could put on some music if you'd like... I'm thinking... glee club, singing along... but that might be cliché. Your call guys.''

[just_mercedes]

Mercedes snickered softly at Sam's comment about the hair. "You looked good blonde, Sam, I have no idea what you're talking about. And I met him at the park, and he seems nice enough." She nodded at this, and smiled at Sam.

She returned the hug when Jeff came toward them. She took a drink of her vodka, and glanced around the room. "It's a nice party, so far. Though music would be good. I like music." Obviously, since she was in the glee club, right?

[oemasam]

''Well yeah, I rocked the look, but the lemon juice wasn't the best idea for the hair itself.''

Sam then let out a laugh.

Then, when Jeff returned, Sam playfully punched him on the shoulder.

''Yeah, music would be great! Though I probably won't know any songs... I'm more of a songwritter myself.''

[ugotzized]

Lauren was glad to see Sam. She greeted him back accordingly and soon they were joined by Mercedes. She laughed when Sam mentioned his "past mistakes", but didn't comment when Mercedes said he looked good as a blonde.

She took a sip of her drink- punch for now. Jeff appeared at their sides and after hugging Mercedes, Lauren smiled at him. "I third the music. Something fun!"

She nearly choked when Sam mentioned he was a songwriter. She caught his eye and laughed.

[jeffsterling]

Jeff chuckled upon hearing his guests' appreciation for music in general, he figured he was indeed slowly winning the glee club members over.

He didn't know what to make of the playful push Sam had given him. The brown haired hunk was perhaps already getting a little tipsy? Oh maybe he was just trying to be friendly. He had always tended to steer away from jocks, so he wouldn't know whether or not this was normal behavior.

''So, any preference?'' he had asked Mercedes and Lauren directly, since Sam had just declared his lack of musical knowledge to the world.

[ugotzized]

Without hesitation Lauren requested, "Something rock 'n roll. Big Joe Turner, Bill Haley and his Comets, or Jerry Lee Lewis?" She rattled the names in a manor she hoped was effortlessly. Those were some of names she remembered being associated with the 1950s rock and roll. She hoped she hadn't mentioned anyone who had a record or single after 1956.

She waited anxiously for Jeff's reaction. If she had messed up, she was confident she could cover her tracks without blowing her true story. No need to tell Jeff that he was in the company of three perfectly sane people from the year 2011 just yet. Or ever.

[jeffsterling]

Jeff simply nodded. Walking to the music table he put one of the requested record on, then simply walked back to the group, grabbing a couple of pieces of cake from the food table in the process.

''May I interest you in some cake? It's delicious. If you don't want it, I'll simply eat it all.''

Laughing, he took a sip from his drink.

Yeah, he was truly enjoying himself.

[oemasam]

Of course, Sam had expected to be tempted by food at this party, like at Mercedes' and Lauren's, but for some reason, he couldn't fight it this time. He couldn't bring himself to deny the plate of yumminess that was presented to him by the cute blond boy. He'd have hell to pay for it later in the gym, but for now that didn't matter

[jeffsterling]

Jeff, for some reason, was pretty sure he was making Sam uncomfortable. Something about the other boy's body language seemed just a little off... but then again, it was possible he simply wasn't used at interpreting body language in the first place - being somewhat of a loner and all. Still, the situation wasn't awkward or uncomfortable, and the brown-haired boy was in fact rather pleasant to talk to - if the short conversation they had when he first greeted him at the door was any indication.

Smiling, he simply replied ''I wish I could take the credit, unfortunately, this was all cooked by our kitchen employees... I could find you the recipe, however.''

He flashed a grin at Sam and, just as he was about to say something else, he was interrupted by a knock on the door. It was rather surprising that he heard it over the music, he thought, but the important part is that he did.

''If you'll excuse me, I'll be right back.''

[oemasam]

''The recipe?'' repeated Sam, with a slight anxiety showing in his voice. ''Yeah sure! That'd be... that'd be great!'' he lied

[ugotzized]

Lauren nodded as Jeff excused himself.

She was smirking at Sam as he turned around. A million comments sat on her lips just waiting for an opportunity. She would be careful though. Believe it or not she didn't want to embarrass Sam and Jeff could be back any second. She just wanted to see Sam sweat more.

"Jeff is nice," she replied still smirking. "Cute even, if you're into that type." She waited trying to gage Sam's reaction. "Really blonde though."

Then Sam said he needed a drink. She glanced over at Mercedes to see if she was as shock as Lauren.

Casually she went over to Sam. "Cake and alcohol, Evans? Someone's got you unhinged. Just take an easy with that, okay?" She nodded at the drink in his hand.
