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.

Mercedes smirked slightly at Sam, and tilted her head slightly. "So, Sam. I didn't know you were into blondes." She grinned at this, ad took a sip of her alcohol.

She knew that Sam wasn't too terribly fond of eating baked goods. Something about them messing up his abs. Or something. She shrugged it off when he started eating a piece of cake, she figured he was being polite. But then he started drinking. Would't drinking also mess up his abs?

"Yeah, Sam. Drinking too much makes you do silly things. And you'd have to crash here. At Jeff's...." She trailed of for a moment, then smirked once more. "Maybe that's why you decided to pick up the habit of drinking?"

''What are you girls talking about? I'm not... into... anyone.'' replied Sam, with a quick shrug. It was utterly too defensive to be genuine, however.

''Well, I mean, I hardly know the guy. He's cute - sure, but you know, this is the 1950s.''

Sam alternated between taking sips of his drink and forkful of cake into his mouth.

''And while I wouldn't be opposed to getting to know him better, I'm not expecting anything to actually happen. Neither should you. I mean... realistically speaking and all... Unless you know something I don't? In other news, the cake's *really* good.''

At this point, all his self-loathing regarding his body image seemed to have temporarily vanished, while he was under the influence of alcohol. Sam's inhibitions were apparently drastically lowered.

[ugotzized]

"I know a lot of things you don't," Lauren smirked,"However Jeff's sexuality is not one of those things, sorry to say." She clapped a hand on Sam's shoulder. "Then again I guess it doesn't matter since you're not into him." Lauren was looking pleased. Teasing Sam was as much fun as she imagined.

[oemasam]

Sam simply grinned like an idiot at Lauren's joke, but surprisingly got more serious - even if he was truly getting drunk by now, seeing as his body wasn't used to alcohol - once she implied he might be into Jeff.

''All I said is that he's probably straight - thus, it's not a great idea for me to make a move. I don't know him that well... yet anyway, so...''

At this point, he stopped and finished his piece of cake.

''... Yeah, but if it would bring you some sort of satisfaction to hear me say it... Well, look at him. He probably doesn't need to spend 20 hours per week in the gym to look decent, unlike some people... Yeah, I think he's cute. Like... really, really cute.''

[jeffsterling]

Jeff was finally returning to the group he had left to go answer the door and greet Brittany. It had taken him much more time than expected, but that was the load a good host had to bear. Sighing, he took another sip from his drink and walked back towards Sam, Mercedes and Lauren - just in time to hear Sam declare he thought something - or someone - was ''really, really cute.'' Curious, he simply had to ask - despite how impolite it might seem. This was a party with teenagers anyhow, proper etiquette had left the building a long time ago.

''Who's really cute Sam?''

While waiting for the boy to answer, he addressed the group.

''By the way, Brittany's here. She's... something, isn't she? I hope you guys didn't miss me to much...''

[ugotzized]

Lauren tilted her head slightly at Sam. Did he say twenty hours a week? At the gym? That was crazy and Lauren liked going to the gym. Clearly the boy had some issues. Before she could open her mouth and say so, Jeff returned to the group and asked Sam who was really cute.

She threw her head back, laughing. Forcing herself to stop, she said, "Yeah Sam, who's really cute?" She took a sip of her drink to keep from laughing more. The smile was still evident though. When Jeff addressed the group as a whole, and not just Sam, Lauren shifted her attention on him.

"Brittany's here too? She's awesome. I'd say you're having quite a successful party, Jeff." She gave him a genuine smile. "We missed you very much...right Sam?" Lauren threw Sam a wicked smile and she stood there, preparing to watch Sam sweat and most likely ramble.

[oemasam]

Sam really wished he could disappear right now. He sighed. Of course, Lauren would push him... he... didn't know what to do, honestly speaking. Nonetheless, Sam wasn't exactly thinking with all of his faculties right now. But, to be honest, what did he have to lose exactly? His life already sucked anyway...

''What? Oh umm, well... to tell you the truth... I was... I was talking about... about you Jeff.''

Had he been sober, he never would have stated such a thing, but right now he wasn't thinking.

''You're just... you're really cute. And I know you're probably not into guys, considering... everything. But... yeah.''

[jeffsterling]

Jeff simply smiled at Lauren's comments about the party.

''I'm glad you're enjoying yourself Lauren, I have to say, the group seems to really know how to have fun... I definitively think I'll have to join the club now. Plus, you know, this place could become the official party place.'' replied the boy, with a small grin.

Then, Sam's statement was finally processed by his brain. The young man wasn't exactly sure how to react. He'd always known that gender wasn't a determining factor for his attractions. He was able to look past that, he cared about persons themselves. Still, he'd always known that wasn't the norm in society. He tensed. Should he admit to that? He didn't know... for all he knew, the Glee kids were setting him up.

''I... thank you.''

He smiled softly, a plan already forming in his mind. He turned to the Lauren and Mercedes.

''Not that I mind... but is Sam here fully aware of what exactly he's saying? Perhaps he should sleep it off. My room's available... what do you guys think?''

[ugotzized]

Lauren was pleased to hear Jeff would most likely be joining glee club, especially if it meant having more parties here.

Hearing Sam speak honestly had stunned Lauren, and she couldn't bring herself to say much. Apparently there was some truth behind 'a drunk mind speaks a sober heart'. Jeff seemed to be taking it really well and was even prepared to give Sam his bed....

Wait, really? Lauren glanced at Jeff, trying to read him carefully. She grinned though she still wasn't sure what to think. "You know I think that would be for the best. You should probably escort him now. He's not used to drinking at all and I doubt he could stand much longer." Her voice was nonchalant, but there was a trace of a smile on her lips. She caught Sam's eye and smirked.

[jeffsterling]

Jeff simply nodded at Lauren's words.

''Right, if he's not a frequent drinker... I'll make sure he gets to bed without killing himself or destroying anything valuable in the process.'' replied the blond boy.

Then a thought hit him.

''This is my house though... can I trust you guys not to destroy everything while I'm keeping an eye on this fellow here?'' he said, while putting his hand of Sam's shoulder. The boy really seemed in bad shape.

''Looks like I should really get him there, I trust you Lauren! Don't make me regret this!''

Without another word, he gently guided a disoriented Sam to his bedroom, shutting the door behind them.

[OOC: For practical reasons, this will be continued in a thread. If you need Jeff to do host-y stuff, just... have someone knock on the door. He might or might not be able to help you :P ]

The first thing Lauren noticed about Jeff was how blonde he was. She forced a smile on her face to keep herself from saying anything about it aloud. She then tried to place him in the halls of McKinley. It was possible she had seen him around.

"Hey," she maintained the smile on her face as she stepped in and followed Jeff. "Pretty snazzy place you have, Jeff. I'm Lauren. Uh thanks for having the party."

[jeffsterling]

''Very nice to meet you Lauren'' said Jeff, extending his arm towards her for a handshake.

''And yeah, this place is pretty awesome. Not mine. Yet. One day, down the line, probably. Unless my parents decide to give it away to charity or something.'' joked the boy. ''Though, you're quite welcome for the party. Please, make yourself at home.''

A beat passed.

''So, you're in Glee club? I'm considering joining, is it fun?''

[ugotzized]

"You too," Lauren said shaking his hand firmly. Her eyes roamed around the house as she walked in more. She noted the all the drinks and food. 'Damn,' she thought, 'where was he when Mercedes and I had our party?'

When Jeff spoke again, she focused back on him. "Glee's...fun. I guess," she shrugged. "Everyone's pretty chill. Do they say that here? Uh, I meant everyone is cool. For the most part. And the music's good." Especially with all the songwriters among us, but she kept that part to herself. "You should join." She didn't know why she was encouraging the boy, but Lauren figured if he wanted to join, he should. It was that simple.

[jeffsterling]

''I'm glad to hear it! To tell you the truth, this is sort of me testing the waters... seeing if I get along with everyone... I'll join provided this party goes well. You know.''

He sent her a smile, then motioned to the food and drinks.

''Can I get you anything?''
