To be quite honest, she didn't really know what to make out of scantily dresses bodies, grinding beat, splashes of spilled drinks, sweat ruined make-up on various faces, and half-hooded unfocused gazes. It wasn't really her thing. The only reason why she's even here was dancing away with a few interested boys. Gemma had just broken up with her boyfriend of three years and was now revelling in her newfound freedom. Allison had agreed to accompany the other girl only out of concern. A random guy approached her with two cups in his hands, angling one towards her. Allison merely shook her head and showed her unemptied cup. Looked like her ruse worked because he walked away with an embarrassed smile. She would have thought people would have gotten the message with her voluntary benching in the corner. Allison watched her tipsy friend from the corners of her eyes; Gemma was grinding against a guy wearing his hat backwards. Half an hour down, four more to go. 27th April | [cs=3]template by pianissimo of BTN |

[atrb=border,0,true][bg=eeeeee][atrb=width,500,true]— MAYBE IT'S NOT MY WEEKEND ! BUT IT'S GONNA BE MY YEAR. This party was a blast. Good music, good booze, and the bowl of punch in the middle of the table was so damn perfect that he'd nearly creamed his pants drinking it for the first time. Cal grinned as he crashed his plastic cup against that of a new friend's, laughing as he gulped back the rest of his drink. He couldn't remember the last time he'd had this much fun at a party, but let's face it-- if he was having fun, he probably wouldn't remember the majority of this night when he woke up anyway. Except for maybe the part where he picked up some random person and partook in some epic bedroom exploration, but that would be for later on. Right now, he was going to concentrate on actually enjoying the party for what it was worth, and that meant getting to know people. The romping around could come later that night-- it was still too early to get wasted off his face.
"Gonna go sit down for a bit. Catch ya later, Caleb."
With a smirk and a wink at his friend, Cal gave the other blonde a casual wave before finding himself in the midst of the crowd. There weren't too many people, which was nice; he could get a good look around and decide just who he'd be going for later that day. He wasn't looking for a pick-me-up just yet though-- right now he just wanted to mingle before going for it. Grey eyes skimmed the area until they fell onto a girl who was sitting on a nearby vouch alone. The blonde couldn't help but raise a brow with curiosity. She seemed like she'd been there for a while. He frowned, tapping his chin. Now, he could leave her alone and not disturb her peace, but hey. If she didn't want to talk or socialise, he'd get the hint soon enough.
It wouldn't be that hard to tell the difference between politeness and actually being friendly. She already had a drink in her hand so Cal decided not to go and get her another, and hence the blonde found himself flopping down on the couch just next to her, not too near, not too far. Just enough to be friendly.
Hey, she was kinda cute. Cal leaned back in his chair, grey eyes meeting dark browns. He did his best to speak the next sentence with a straight face.
"You are one well-defined function-- okay, okay, I don't think I can say that one and take myself seriously," he said, letting out a chuckle. "In all seriousness, I'm Cal. How'd you know Jules?" TEMPLATE BY SAMARECARM OF OTE + BTN

Thankful he kept a respectful distance, but not as far as she’d like him to be. Maybe he was there to rest for a bit before returning to the fold-
”You are one well-defined function—“.
Someone had got to be kidding here. She thought people only used that in cheesy movies. Then he chuckled, and Allison didn’t really quite know what to do with this new development. She had been hoping to pass the next three and a half hours in peace— as peaceful as she could in a house party— and go home with Gemma in tow.
“Jules?” Was that a girl’s nickname? She wasn’t going to nod and pretend she knew this person when she clearly didn’t.
“I’m sorry but I only know one person in this house and it isn’t Jules.” Allison turned slightly to jut a thumb at Gemma’s general direction; she was still in a throng of boys. Judging by how her body was lax and loose, the other girl was probably more than tipsy now.
Some things just don’t change.
Allison contained an urge to sigh before returning her attention back to Cal. She then took a sip from her cup and grimaced a little at the unsavory sourness. Frankly, she didn’t know how some could chug this back like water. To be fair, a lot of people weren’t exactly high functioning in terms of common sense. As a matter of fact, she was in a house full of marvelous examples. With any luck, her ‘peers’ were going to grow out of it soon.
One could only hope. | [cs=3]template by pianissimo of BTN |

[atrb=border,0,true][bg=eeeeee][atrb=width,500,true]— MAYBE IT'S NOT MY WEEKEND ! BUT IT'S GONNA BE MY YEAR. That pickup line hadn't been his best (or well, worst) one. He was quite partial to 'I'm not being obtuse, but you're acute girl' and 'I wish I was your derivative so I could lie tangent to your curves', but he wasn't sure whether her heart would be able to take being told that by a man as dashing and charming as he was. He believed in starting slow, after all. Either way, she hadn't even gotten any sort of response to his evident genius. How insulting. (Not really.) Normally, he'd have pegged it to her being stunned by his good looks, sheer wit and sex appeal. Maybe she was jealous of his beautiful blonde locks--
Okay, no. She was probably just thinking 'what the fuck is this guy on'.
Quite the normal reaction to him, if he was to be fair. The acknowledging-that-your-bad-pickup-line-was-bad technique didn't always work on everyone, and he made a mental note that the bad puns weren't going to fly either. Time to rethink and regroup. Cal wasn't exactly looking for anything per se, though he did note that she seemed rather out of place in the party, as though she was trying to isolate and distance herself from the rest of them. For a second he contemplated shutting up (yes, he was capable of thinking that thought) but decided against it-- she'd made a statement and he would respond. He'd get the hint soon enough if she really didn't want to be in his company.
"Ah, Jules is my friend. He's one of the guys that lives here." He'd nearly moved in with him and Caleb, but their budget wouldn't have allowed for a place that allowed pets. Meanwhile, Cal had missed Puggerpillar too much to just leave the poor baby behind, and had decided to search for housing elsewhere. Besides, he was pretty stoked that he'd get to live with Whaleboy instead. "Know only one person? So now I can be Number Two." He beamed. TEMPLATE BY SAMARECARM OF OTE + BTN

Someone was certainly happy that he was at a party. Allison couldn't help a smidgeon of amusement bubbling within her. She'd be blind to not see that he was attractive in the conventional sense, albeit slightly on the more delicate side. This was a college student who didn't have a problem pulling in bed companions to chase the boredom of the nights away.
And 'Cal' seemed like a person who wouldn't sit well with nothing to distract him.
"He has a very nice place, a little packed at the moment but I'm sure if and when it's clean, it can be quite cosy." Allison deadpanned but then it was followed with a little quirk of her lips. "Unless I'm mistaken about the ever being clean part."
The brown-eyed girl inclined her head slightly, "You'll have to get past the interview stage first before friendship can be considered." Another deadpanned delivery, she was on a roll today. Then she tried a little more of the beverage again and pinched her lips at the taste.
"Is there anything else being served? This is, quite frankly, crap."
The tone in her voice suggested her confusion at others' proclamations of love for beer. The only reason why she wasn't getting another drink for herself was because she didn't want to risk losing the couch to a drunken hookup. | [cs=3]template by pianissimo of BTN |

[atrb=border,0,true][bg=eeeeee][atrb=width,500,true]— MAYBE IT'S NOT MY WEEKEND ! BUT IT'S GONNA BE MY YEAR. "It can be clean!" Only because Caleb went around picking up after Jules' shit like the proper housewife he was, or a dog owner that was picking up after his dog's poop in the park. "Sometimes." He smirked, raising an eyebrow. No more needed to be said, and for someone who spoke as much as Cal, that meant a lot. Interviews, huh?
"Oh come on. No one-way ticket to the finals?" It wasn't like he had competition or anything. Please, who wouldn't want to be friends with him? (Okay, from the sounds of it, her.) But she seemed amused enough to be shooting sarcastic remarks back in his direction, so he supposed that he wasn't bothering her too much. Cal could be inconsiderate but he knew when to leave a lady alone, and right now she was giving him the green light to prance around her being fabulous. It was then when she commented on her beer, and Cal held out his cup of punch.
"Here, try some of this. What are you drinking?" He glanced over to look in her cup. It didn't hurt that she was kind of cute when she seemed all disgruntled and disgusted. Not bad, he might even give her an eight out of ten. Shame she was almost 3853253% not likely to be easy enough for him to take home. Oh well, wasn't he supposed to be trying to be friends? "Ah, beer."
"Pro tip. Nobody actually likes beer the first few times they have it, they only pretend to. I wouldn't bother if I was you. It isn't worth it. Why don't we change cups? You can have my punch and I'll have what you're having." TEMPLATE BY SAMARECARM OF OTE + BTN

He did seem like someone who would have liberal experience with said beer; Cal looked rather at home in the house party situation.
"It's the company policy to keep the details of the applicants confidential as to protect the integrity of the interview process." By now Allison had a little smirk playing on her lips. This conversation was actually pretty alright as far as house party interactions went. Then he offered to exchange cups so that he can take the beer for her instead.
"I'll go get a new cup, I didn't do so before because I didn't want to lose the couch to a bunch of drunk horny kids. I'll be..." Allison turned to look at the crowd and paused, "...back if I can navigate my way through safely and back. Wish me luck."
She considered it a miracle that she completed her mission for some punch without losing any limbs or ears. Soon enough, she was pushing her way through to the couch and Allison was surprised that he was still there, playing a game on his phone. He looked rather into it so she didn't disturb him, sinking into the leather noiselessly. Then she took a sip of her now tolerable drink.
It was certainly not how she envisaged spending a Saturday night normally but it just wasn't exactly as bad as she thought this entire experience would be.

[atrb=border,0,true][bg=eeeeee][atrb=width,500,true]— MAYBE IT'S NOT MY WEEKEND ! BUT IT'S GONNA BE MY YEAR. "Can't you make a special exception for a special applicant?" Cal debated fluttering his lashes, but decided against it. He could act as stereotypically gay as he wanted around his close friends, but like it or not he had some sort of reputation to uphold around people he didn't know very well. He took the cue of her friendliness to edge in a little closer, not close enough to show any other intentions than friendship but close enough to indicate that he was interested in carrying this conversation on. Though it was then when she mentioned that she was getting another cup. Cal nodded, patting the space next to him on the couch.
"I'll save your spot. No worries." Watching as she left the couch (note to self-- nice figure, big tits for a small Asian) he grabbed his phone from his pocket. Temple Run was calling as he defended the integrity of her seat. The guards had to get their practice in somewhere anyway. He was just getting to the part where he blazed past a ton of gryphons and dashed past the shadowy woods when he ran into a wall and died.
"Fuck," he muttered. Speaking of which, where was the girl? He was about to glance through the seas of people when he noticed that someone had taken her seat. Crap. "Excuse me," he began, before jolting backwards with surprise as he realised that she'd returned.

She tilted her head slightly at the ninja school quip when all it had been was his inattentiveness. Allison took another dainty sip from her red cup and replied solemnly.
"That is clan business. I'm afraid I'm unable to divulge specifics."
Who knows, maybe she really was a ninja? To be honest, Allison wouldn't be surprised if she was related to one. There were weirder things that happened all the time. Besides, it was a source of amusement now, this banter between the two of them. Cal did genuinely seemed comfortable with sitting by her talking. Not that she wouldn't blame him if he decided to go off soon, you just don't come to house parties looking for conversation.
You usually looked for something of a more physical nature. Needless to say, it wasn't her area of expertise.
"If I told you any more, I might have to kill you."
Her entire demeanour only revealed calm and fact, and her body language signalled total truth. But only an idiot would believe her. Then again, she didn't know Cal very well.

[atrb=border,0,true][bg=eeeeee][atrb=width,500,true]— MAYBE IT'S NOT MY WEEKEND ! BUT IT'S GONNA BE MY YEAR. Come on, that had totally been an opening for her to say he was a special of a different breed. Where was the self-deprecating humour, the banter, the jokes? He would have been a little disappointed, if it wasn't for the fact that he didn't have emotions and couldn't be disappointed anyway. Granted, that was a lie, but the fact that it was a lie was just a technicality. They could work out the finer details later. At least she responded to his rather racially targeted statement, humouring him with the fact that she had clan secrets. Cal chuckled, taking another gulp of his drink. Dang, was he done? Maybe he should have grabbed her beer while she had gone. Never mind, he could go and get something else.
"So how do I join this clan? Teach me your ways. I'm going to find every way possible to learn to do cool shit like this. Is there some sort of training regime or ninja ritual or something?" She had a sense of humour, he could give her that. Even if she seemed demure and reserved, at least she knew how to crack a joke. You would be surprised at the number of people out there who simply didn't, and the fact that she was actually responding and playing along was a plus in his book.

She had some more of her punch, the sweet beverage clearing a little of the tiredness that was settling in with the onset of the night. "One thing I'd have to say is that flexibility is a must to be a ninja."
Hey, she was in college after all, and a little 'flirting' (could this banter be classed as such?) couldn't really hurt, could it? Besides, it was a nice distraction from the mess that was the friend who dragged her here. And was that a wicked smirk covered by the edge of her cup as she took another sip?
Nobody was going to say that she didn't have a sense of humor if one knew where to look.
Anyways, Allison was going to chalk this interaction up to a temporary discourse from her normal routine. Something out of the blue, a blimp in the graph.
"You would like to learn my people's way?" A note in her voice turned sly and she shot him a sideway glance, a corner of her lips curling into a tiny half-smirk, "Well then... what do you have to offer in return?"
She knew that she was treading into dangerous waters, in the sense of the conversation. He was more tolerable than expected and she was more bored than ever before. This made a exceptional situation. But hey, what can she say?

[atrb=border,0,true][bg=eeeeee][atrb=width,500,true]— MAYBE IT'S NOT MY WEEKEND ! BUT IT'S GONNA BE MY YEAR. "Flexibility, huh." Oh, there were so many connotations that came with that word, but he wasn't going to go there. Besides, it wasn't as though she was stupid. The subtext would be loud and clear between the two of them, unless she was completely illiterate in subtlety. Heck, his vocabulary in that language wasn't very large himself, and even he would be able to read between the lines when it came to being flexible. He leaned in ever so slightly, gaze not leaving hers as she offered to teach him the ways of her people. Was she flirting with him? The thought of potentially taking her home that night crossed his mind for a second, before he dismissed it. She wasn't easy enough, and he didn't want to push her into doing anything she might not have been comfortable with.
Besides, he too enjoyed his mind games. Cal sat up, taking a long, measured sip of his drink. If she wanted to play with him he was more than happy to give her all he had got. She didn't seem as though she was completely unversed in this kind of talk, all of a sudden-- maybe she was less out of place here than he had pinpointed her as. She got a lot more interesting.
But in all honesty, was was there to offer her? A big difference between yoghurt and the average caucasian American was that yoghurt had culture. There was the English side of him, of course, but he had a feeling that passing her tea and scones wasn't exactly the most ideal form of romance.
"If you're a ninja, I'm in the MI5." Well, it made sense. His recent adventures had been a long string of running away from the passive, book-obsessed, cereal-eating po-po.

Allison wouldn't be surprised at all. The blonde didn't quite seem as blonde as he was making himself out to be; he was funny. And that counted for a lot when one thought about the slim pickings in college. Caucasian American males around her age aren't exactly well known for their sharp wits.
MI5? So there must be a little English in him. Perhaps that could account for the above average usage of the head on his shoulders.
"I am not quite sure what to think about the future of this particular organisation in the coming years. Spy organisations come and go but clan secrets and traditions are rooted in stone and blood."
Of course she was pulling his leg but what's a little dramatization for a spot of fun? Besides, Allison believed that he would be able to appreciate it.
"How am I supposed to know that you won't sell them for another secret? There is no honour amongst spies, plus Grandmother always warned us of men promising the world."
Allison's voice turned coy as she sipped her beverage. This was turning out to be more entertaining than she'd hoped. | [cs=3]template by pianissimo of BTN |

[atrb=border,0,true][bg=eeeeee][atrb=width,500,true]— MAYBE IT'S NOT MY WEEKEND ! BUT IT'S GONNA BE MY YEAR. "Are you expressing doubt in the British secret service? Never fear, for we are used to confidentiality." It was easy to drop a line and to ham things up, to make the time they had at the party more entertaining for her and for him. She seemed interesting, at the very least-- a little out of place, perhaps, but interesting nevertheless. Kind of easy on the eyes as well. Too bad she wasn't any easier, but he supposed she did seem more like the kind of person he'd try to get to know than just have an easy fuck with. "Have some faith in humanity, have some faith in England."
Cal lifted his beer so they could clink glasses, or, well, cups. Whether she reciprocated or not he lifted the cup to his lips, pausing for a moment to meet her eyes before gulping the last few drops of his drink down.
"Or at least, you could have some faith in me."
He allowed the moment of solemnity to sink in. Was there a little seriousness to his words? Nah, Cal wasn't capable of being serious. Okay, he totally was, but not in this context. He'd once been told that he had the kind of face that meant that you couldn't tell whether he was kidding or not, even when he was trying to be serious. While he'd pretended to take offence to the statement and hence proving the person's point, he could definitely see where they were coming from.

That is, according to the new world map." It was a rather recent development that the 'Great' was dropped from Great Britain and the maps now indicated Britain today. Allison smirked a little and she took another mouthful of her punch after clinking cups with him; why the hell not? Plus the taste of the drink was growing on her. But he wasn't going to be let down easy.
"Confidentiality? Have faith in the British secret service? Try telling that to the Arabs pre-world war 2. Pretty much why the Middle East is screwed up as it is, especially with Israel and Palestine. But besides that, I suppose it's rather trustworthy."
The tone of her voice could have been easily used to described the weather that day, light and flippant. As if she wasn't talking about the origins of one of, if not the, messiest regions in the contemporary world today. Oops, it was her major showing through.
Sorry, not sorry.
Then he mentioned about having faith in him and she had to smile at that. Allison allowed the pause to stretch before leaning in, gaze dropping deceptively down to his mouth before flicking up again, bypassing his face to whisper into his ears. She can chalk that up to the increasing tempo and loudness of the music surrounding them.
"Have faith in you? I don't even know you yet."
Allison drew back and set her now empty cup on the table next to the couch, expression slightly apologetic.
"As much as I'd like to continue our little exchange, I've got a drunk, heartbroken friend about to be tricked into an orgy and I cannot have that happening on my conscience, however annoying this girl might be." A wry smile appeared and she shrugged.
"Anyways, thank you." A spear of recklessness shot through her and she leaned in once more to peck the blonde lightly on the cheek.
"Tonight was not half as bad as I had anticipated thanks to you. I'd wish you good luck but I doubt you will have any trouble meeting a nice girl later. I've got to make a move now. Have fun for the both of us."
With an incline of her head, Allison disappeared into the crowd with one goal in mind. Whether she'd meet Callum again was another matter entirely. But then again, who knows? | [cs=3]template by pianissimo of BTN |

[atrb=border,0,true][bg=eeeeee][atrb=width,500,true]— MAYBE IT'S NOT MY WEEKEND ! BUT IT'S GONNA BE MY YEAR. He had absolutely nothing to say for once. Mostly because she was correct in regards to the British secret service and foreign policy, but also because of Great Britain no longer being so great. Honestly it was kind of funny to think about, but for once Cal found himself completely speechless. Not so much in a 'fuck my life' kind of way, but more so well damn, this girl sure as hell knows what she's talking about. He made a mental note to pick his battles with her more carefully, but like most of the mental notes he made it quickly got lost in a cesspool of fluff.
Maybe he'd develop common sense another day.
Yeah, fat chance. Cal leaned in as she mentioned she wasn't about ready to trust him, simply because she didn't know him. "Well, you can start getting to know me right now. What do you say to that? I don't even think I know your name." He frowned a little, trying to remember whether he'd introduced himself before. Well, if he hadn't, she'd probably ask him, wouldn't she? It didn't hurt to get to know someone new. She was intelligent, definitely. Probably way smarter than he was, and definitely fun in her own way. Kind of cute, too, but that was just a bonus. He was about to whip out his phone and ask for her number but the girl suddenly paused, saying that she had to take her leave. "Oh come on, won't you tell-" he began, but it was then when she leaned in, giving him a peck on the cheek.
Now he was the other kind of speechless.
Kisses on the cheek were commonplace back home, he knew that. People who'd come in from France had brought the tradition to some others, but he wasn't used to it here. In America, of all places, where affection was shown by endlessly mocking each other. And in his wordlessness, she implied that he was going to meet a nice girl later-- well, yeah, maybe, but-- "Hey," he began, but she was gone into the crowd, leaving a rather dazed Cal behind.
What in the world had just happened?
That night, he had a lot of sex. TEMPLATE BY SAMARECARM OF OTE + BTN
