"Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to thank you all for coming out tonight. Let's have a good time, peace and love all day. I'm DJ Nate and this is my man Orion's House Warming!"
Suddenly the lights in the spacious apartment suddenly dimmed, producing a slight cheer from the constantly growing crowd. The speakers of the DJ booth came to life, filling the entire room - and the next floor up- with bass heavy club music. Strategically placed strobe and black light flickered on and off, fueling the party with even more energy. The crowd of about 30 or so people slowly began moving toward the living area, throwing their arms up, grinding into each other, and generally having a good time.
Orion stood near the bar, having just received his first drink of the night. After sliding a few bucks into the tip jar, he made his way into the crowd and began moving to the music. Most of the people their he knew or had at least seen before, but it didn't matter. Everyone was their to have a good time. Even with the back door wide open, it was still becoming awfully warm, awfully fast.
"Yeaahhh! Get it! Hey fellas, get your backs up off the wall! I know you're not going to leave all these lovely ladies out there alone are you??"
Nate, Orion's best friend, worked at the Trax club and had decent DJing experience. It was up to him to keep the party alive, and so far he had done a good job. By the time the first song finished, Orion realized someone was knocking on the door. Like an idiot, he had locked it after the last entrants came in, so now he had to push through the crowd until he made it to the door. Pulling the heavy door open he looked out to see who else would join the party.

It had been a week since she had last spoken to Orion. He had invited her to a house warming party and she had accepted to go. Lauren had made her hair slightly wavy with half of it pulled back. She wore a tight red dress that came a couple of inches above her knee and strappy shoes to match the dress. Lauren waited at the door and then finally Orion opened the door. She smiled and began speaking. "Sorry I'm late." She said.

"Lauren! Glad you could make it!"
Orion smiled at the sight of her. Of all the people invited, she was the person he was interested in getting to know the most. He held the door open behind him, and motioned for her to come in. The music and lights greeted her at the threshold.
"The bar's over near the bath room. Free drinks until 1, so get it while the getting's good!"
Orion himself wore a pair of black jeans and a black T-Shirt with a metal choker. He wore black bands around both wrists and had on a black beanie this time.

Lauren walked in and glanced over to where Orion said the drinks were. "Cool." Said Lauren as she began walking over. She looked back to Orion. "You coming over to?" She asked. Out of everyone there Orion was the only person she knew. She felt slightly out of place as she didn't know anyone yet but she was here to have a good time. Lauren was glad Orion was hosting the party. He seemed like a decent guy and she wanted to get to know him better.

Cooly titling his cup back, it was revealed that it was empty. He shrugged before nodding and grinning.
"Looks that way."
Not really thinking of his actions, Orion took Lauren's hand and began pushing through the crowd once more. He was careful not to move so fast that he was pulling her along, but he wasn't slow enough for the gap in the people to close behind him. When they reached the bar, only then did he realize he was holding her hand. He looked at her before quickly letting go.
"..so, uh, what'll you have? We've got bottled water, soda, juice...you really don't strike me as the wild drinking type."
Honestly, she didn't. When Orion looked at Lauren, he saw the nice, easy-going girl next door. Well, girl upstairs. Either way, she didn't look like the typical party girl who got completely wasted every night. Of course, he found nothing wrong with drinking in moderation, but he would be surprised if she drank at all.

Lauren waited for Orion to walk over to her so they could both walk over to the table together, but she wasn't expecting to be taking by the hand and lead through the crowd of people. Lauren held onto Orions hand, so she wouldn't get lost and laughed as the two weaved in and out of the people dancing.
They got to the table and Lauren looked up at Orion with a grin. She then felt him let go of her hand. Lauren looked down at the table with soft drinks which was fine but it was a party so she was looking for something abit more stronger. Lauren wasn't one of those girls who would get totally trashed at a party, but she did like to have a drink or two. Just to get the blood flowing round her. "What makes you think I don't drink?" Said Lauren with a smile as she looked back up at Orion. "I do drink, but not alot." Said Lauren as she could understand why he wouldn't she would drink.

"Don't get me wrong..it's OK to tip a few back every now and then. But it's just that you're so pretty..."
Catching himself, he quickly redirected where the sentence was going. One of his biggest problems was that he usually spoke before he thought and it usually backfired for him. He shrugged before placing his cup on the table and waiting for the tender to refill his drink.
"..I mean,you seem so nice and most other girls I know who drink are...I don't know, weird. Forget it. But since you're such a drinking heavyweight," Orion grinned, completely joking with her "I'll have what ever you get."

Rowan entered the very crowded appartment with a smile on his face. He loved parties, because as a young kid, and a nerd, he was never allowed into any of them, but now that he was a smoking hot jock...everyone asked him to go to parties with him. He tried looking around for any familiar faces in the crowd but most of them probably didn't go to his school. Then he saw the group of varsity cheerleader dancing together...well more like having sex with their clothes on. He really didn't like them so he turned away from them and headed for the bar. He was smashed into a couple of times by the dancing zombies but he needed a drink.
He finally arrived at the bar and saw a guy talking to a blond he went up next to them and ordered a bloody mary. He loved that drink..but that drink sometimes did not love him.. He then sat on one of the stools at the bar waiting for his drink.

Lauren raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard Orion call her pretty. She began laughing. Lauren wasn't laughing at him, she just didn't know what to say. She managed to control it after a few seconds of giggling. "Awww Orion thats sweet. Thank you." She said as gently tapped his upper arm. Lauren grinned and turned to the bartender to order her drink. "I'll have a vodka and coke please?" She asked. Lauren then turned back to Orion and began talking to him whilst the bartender got their drinks. "So when did you move in cos I can't say I've seen you around before." Said Lauren as she wrapped her arms around her waist.

Taking up his drink, Orion took a sip, noting that Rowan had come in. Vodka usually wasn't his favorite drink, but he had to admit with coke it was much better than by itself.
"Well I've been in the building since maybe the beginning of last month. See the DJ over there?"
Orion pointed across the room, toward Nate at the DJ booth, still yelling out to the crowd and keeping the energy going. He himself was moving to the music as several of the cheerleaders Rowan avoided had made their way behind the booth.
"That's my best friend, Nate. He lives two floors above you. I was crashing at his place until I got my money together. I moved down here about two weeks. But enough about me. I'm boring."
Orion grinned again, taking another sip of his drink.
"Oww! Oooh! Oooh! Yeah people! Orion's House Warming Jamboree! Let's do the d@mn thang!"
The track suddenly changed into a more upbeat one. It was obviously a very popular song as more people moved onto the dance floor and they started dancing even more provocatively. Orion began goofily nodding his head to the music before looking over to Lauren.
"Wanna dance?"

Lauren took her drink off of the bartender and took a sip. Vodka and coke was one of her favourite alcoholic drinks, but then she wasn't a big drinker so there wasn't many drinks she particulary liked. As Orion told Lauren what he had been doing for the last month or so Lauren took sips of her drink. She then looked over to the booth where the DJ was spinning records. She gave a nod as to say she saw Nate and relised who he was to Orion.
A song came on that Lauren really liked. She placed her drink down on the table and grinned at Orion when he asked her to dance. "Hell yeah. You can't come to a party and not dance." Said Lauren. she took hold of Orions hand and lead him ont the dancefloor. Once she had found a space big enough for the two to dance Lauren began dancing in time with the music. "How old are you? I hope you don't mind me asking." Said Lauren as she danced with Orion.

Orion nearly dropped his drink as he was ushered onto the floor, but managed to place it on the table. When they made it to the clearing, he moved in rhythm with Lauren and the music. He wasn't the best dancer in the world, but then again, he didn't really care and that confidence is what made him NOT the worst dancer in the world.
"Actually..."
As they were dancing, Orion wrapped his arm around her back quickly in order to check his watch without disrupting their movements. He grinned as it was now 12:03 am and officially his birthday. He put his arm back down and leaned in so that she could hear him over the music.
"..I just turned 19 three minutes ago..do you mind me asking the same."

Damien, who had been lingering outside the building for more than a few minutes, walked inside and up to the appartment which had the loudest music he had ever heard blaring from it. He wasn't usually invited to any kinds of parties and even if he was he usually rejected the invites, he kept to himself most the time time and in return most people left him alone. It was sometimes better like that, but after being persuaded by more than one person, the other having not even shown up yet, he decided to drop all morals and attend.
He walked through the open door and naturally not reconising anyone. However his eyes did land on the bar and being one never to pass up a drink, instantly walked on over and ordered a tequila. He rested his head on the bar while he waited on it then turned and looked at what everyone else in the room was doing.

Rowan was sitting at the bar now drinking his bloody mary when he saw the cheerleaders approach. "Oh great.." he muttered under his breath as they came up behind him. "Rowan! Why aren't you dancing with us?!" they exclaimed as one of them grabbed his arm and pulled. "He sighed then got up. "Oh no thanks ladies, Im not much of a dancer." he said as he set his drink down and started to get away from them fast.
Maybe coming to this party wasn't such a good idea after all... he thought as he headed towards a door. He was hoping it was a bathroom or a bedroom or something. He opened it without knocking and stepped in. It was a bathroom. "Oh thank god." he said then he ran to the toilet and leaned over it. He then felt the bloody mary coming back up from his stomach. He finally threw up all over the toilet seat and sat down next to the toilet holding his sick stomach.

As Lauren danced and waited for Orion to tell her how old she was, she was kind of pulled slightly closer to him. She wandered what he was doing then saw him look at his watch. She heard him say he had just turned 19. "Oh right well happy birthday then." Said Lauren she she leaned up and gave him a peck on the cheek. "I'm 17 but i turn 18 in about two months time. God knows what I'm gunna do." Said Lauren with a slight laugh as she continued to dance with Orion. "Do you remember your 18th?" She asked as grinded in time with the music.
