"Who was that?" Keith asks.
"Blair, apparently, Keegan knows someone who can get us into that new club" She tells him shrugging.
"Yea, I'm going with him. You going too?" He asks a little excited.
"Of course" Lena beams. Ever since she heard about this new club coming to her town she been dying to go. For the next hour they both sat there working on school work till Lena had to go, and get a bag packed for tonight.
"Are you really wearing that?" Blair asks with a disgust face. Lena looks down at what she was wearing and wonder what the big deal was? She was wearing a pair of straight leg jeans, and a cute pink top.
"Can I get four shots of Crimson moonshine, and a beer" Keegan orders. Then she looked over to Keith who just ordered a beer, and the girls said surprise them with something girly. Lena sat there looking around the place loving the scene, and the upbeat music. She felt her body slowly start to move to the beat that surrounded her. Soon their drinks where in front of them, and a shot glass with dark red liquid.
"Just be careful, this is a strong shot" Keith says leaning in letting Lena know before she took the shot. She smiles up to him as she raises her shot glass to him, and cheers before throwing the shot back. It was tasteful, but slowly it burned down her throat, then to her chest making her shiver slightly.
"Wow your eyes" Blair beams. Lena looks over to her cousin with a confused look on her face.
"They are glowing, it's an effect from the shot. Cool huh?" Keegan shouts over the music. Soon Keith, Keegan and Blair's eyes were glowing. Lena did find this cool as each of their eyes glowed a different color. Blair's where glowing her Violet color, Keegan a gold, and Keith a bluish green. When they finish their first round of drinks Blair drag them out to the dance floor. Keegan and Bailey quickly found partners to dance with. Seeing how Lena didn't want some creeper groping her she pulled Keith closer to her. As they were dancing shots were being passed out to the people on the dance floor. Cheering with their follow dancers they threw back another shot of Crimson moonshine. As Lena danced with Keith she started to get this feeling someone was watching her. She started to look around as she danced, and noticed a pair of very distinct white gray eyes on her. There was an involuntary shiver from his gaze, and she mentally face palm herself for letting him have that effect on her. She pondered in her head on why he was there. Then quickly remembered how he treated her last time, and wasn't going to let him ruin her night. In fact, she decided to put all her focus on Keith to show him that she didn't need him. Soon she was taken from her thoughts when she heard her cousin squeal behind her.
