Third Person View

Hannah loved walking out the room with Clay, even with the looks they got. Hell, she could hear the rumors starting and it wouldn't surprise her if Jessica would accuse her of having sex on her bed.

Think of the devil and he shall appear. Hannah thought as she saw a very drunk Jessica and Justin rush up the stairs, clearly rushing for her bedroom.

"Do you need to go save her?" Clay asked remembering the winter formal.

"No. They started dating." Hannah said knowing that her friend-ex-friend-probably would not be to happy with her for trying to stop her sex life. "Besides I'm hanging out with you. Wouldn't want to mess up that ride you'd offer me on your bike."

"No you wouldn't because I only let people I like ride my bike." Clay smiled and before Hannah could say anything Jeff walked over.

"Well where are the two love birds going?" He asked smirking.

"Just for a walk," Clay replied.

"Hmm," Jeff said looking over at Hannah. "And you must be the girl that Clay is too scared to make a move on."

Clay, who was looking down at Hannah, turned his head so fast you'd think he had whiplash. Jeff greeted the glare with a smirk.

"I guess so," Hannah said blushing and looking over at Clay.

"She is," He replied smiling. "Well we best get going."

The faster Hannah's away from Jeff the more chance I have of not embarrassing myself.

"Yeah, I've got to go on a beer run." Jeff says.

"Should you be driving?" Clay asked concerned. Jeff was the only friend Clay had, at he thought they were friends.

"It's called Coke-Cola my friend." Jeff said holding the cup out to Hannah and Clay.

"Well then still be careful," Hannah said lacing her fingers with Clay.

"I will," he said. "And you take car of him. He's a very wild child."

Hannah smiled and Clay didn't know if he wanted to smile because they were getting along or grab Hannah and run away before Jeff could mange to say something really embarrassing.

"I know," Hannah giggled. "I once sorry him ride his bike without his helmet."

"You monster." Jeff fake gasped.

"Alright." Clay blushed. "Let's get going."

"See you two at school," Jeff called as Hannah and Clay began to walk down the street.

"So that's Jeff." Hannah stated.

"Yes, yes that was the one and only Jeff Atkins." Clay smiled wrapping a arm around her shoulder. "The guy that I lost a bet to and had to go to the winter formal. And the one who talked me into coming here tonight."

Hannah smiled. "Well I'll have to think him."

"And why would you do that?" Clay asked, he didn't know where he found this new found confidence but it made Hannah glad he was sharing this side of him with her.

"Because I got to hang out with you," Hannah smiled. "And maybe I can hear more stories about you being in love with me."

There was mocking in her voice but Clay knew that somewhere along the way he had fallen for her.

"Well then I wish I would have pulled you away sooner back there because maybe then you wouldn't know about me liking you." He was taking a risk but the moment Hannah smiled his shoulders loosened.

"I don't think he would want to do that," Hannah smiled. "Haven't you ever heard of the butterfly effect? Even the slightest chance in the present can have the biggest chance in the future. And we wouldn't even know that."
