Posh gave them both a look like they were nuts. Her a model? Yeah ri-ight. She gave a laugh at the exchange and shook her head a bit too hard and had to sit down cause she was a bit dizzy. "Nah, me strutting up and down a runway? You two are full of it. But all those clothes would be fun to wear though." She really did love clothes, it was a passion of her's to go shopping since her step mother spared no expense when it came to fashion. She gave a look to Matt, her giggles pascified when she got her next drink. "Ah I've got time to worry about American peoples and clothes. After all we all got the rest of our lives ahead of us." She said with a small gulp at the way the alcohol tainted her taste buds.

Matt smiled at her a drunk smile, the shots finally hitting him hard. Now he would want to go home and sleep it off..."I think That...that you would make a great model Paige. Or you could perhaps go into the Physics field, I'll recommend you to whom ever you like, you are one of my top students, Ha students.." He said being serious but a drunk serious then he just thought every thing was funny. Mara agreed, but slammed her drink," I'm done, I'm going to regret this in the morning I don't know about you two." Matt nodded putting his head on one of his hands, the classic sign of being too drunk," I'll be the first to admit this, I'm tanked..." They laugh, only Mara smiled and shook her head slowly," You light weight."

Paige giggled her, eyes feeling a bit misty. She was drunk to the point her mind felt light and she had a disconnect between her brain and her mouth. She felt really gleeful too, like this was the happiest moment on her own little world. "Hey, don't regret stuff-I never regret-and I feel awesome." She said with a smile. "And thanks for the care you guys-You especially Matt-such good friends." She said as she teetered a bit. "Mmmhmm, I think Imma bit off myself." She knew her face was feeling a bit hot and she could feel the alcohol in her stomach making her warm. She had a sense deep down that she wasn't going to enjoy that alcohol tomorrow, when she woke up with a pounding headache and a less than good mood.

The night was easy to conclude, getting a taxi they rod out to Matt's house, Matt had invited Posh to spend the night because they were all trashed. Mara stumbled to Matt's room, Paige in haul, since Matt gave them the room-he was going to sleep on the couch. As soon as his head his the pillow he was out cold...
In the morning his sister was sitting at the dining room table with a cup of coffee in her hands, she looked up when Matt sat up,"Morning... I made coffee." He nodded, getting some, taking off his tie that was still kinda on from last night. He took a warm sip of the coffee and sighed, it was nice, but his head was already pounding. "Thanks, Paige up yet?" Mara shrugged," I don't know, I've been up for like....I don't know... My head is pounding..." He nodded knowing the feeling.

Posh was out like a light soon after everyone else. She prefered to sleep in her clothes anyways so she perfectly comfotable in moments. The alcohol let her drift into that heavy kind of sleep she really wasn't used to. She hardly realized it was as late into the morning as is it was till a shrill noise made her groan. It attacked her brain, sending a sharp pain through it that caused the subtle throb of pounding. She grab at where the noise was coming from and opened a blearly eye to the object when she snatched it into the line of her blurry vision. It was her phone, letting her know someone was calling her. She gave a grumble and thought of hanging up but she propped herself up from where she laid on her stomach in the tangle of sheets and mess of pillows. "Hello?" She grumbled tiredly into the phone as she looked around the room. Where the hell was she again? "Posh?" She blinked when she realized it was Claire calling her. "Yo, what's up?" She said as a small tired joke as she rubbed one of her eyes since she'd forgotten to wash the mascara off her eyes. "I was just calling to check up on you. You didn't go back to class and when I tried to return the notebook I borrowed from you, the girl across the hall from you said you were out...jeesh you sound awful though.." Posh gave a sigh, realizing that only this girl would actually care so much about someone to call them to check up. She gave a small chuckle. "Nah I'm fine. Just decided to...have some fun." She said now remembering where she was and how she got there. That really was a nice breather for a change, but she was still a bit worried how Matt was going to handle being the topic of talk when he got back. If she followed her hunch, she was sure Natalie would have some kind of story to spread about him not being in his last few classes yesterday and today. "Fun? On a school night?" Claire asked innocently and Posh gave a roll of her eyes. "Yep, you should try it some time." Claire was silent and Posh wasn't sure what kind of cord that had struck. "Anyways...I-I wanted to also-um-" Posh's eye lids drooped in irritation due to her headache and her still having just woken up. "Spit it out, kitten." She finally huffed after Claire sputtered a bit more. She fell silent again before she cleared her throat. "I wanted to ask about yesterday with Matt and that whole rumor craziness." Posh wanted to groan internally at the mention of it but kept her lips buttoned. "I-I didn't mean to make him mad over it. I swear I didn't think Natalie and he would even-I could hardly beleive they did at one point..." "Yeah it was a shocker for us all." Posh said rather carelessly. Claire got quiet again and Posh didn't know quite why. Little did she know it was because little Claire didn't like being snapped at. "I'm sorry, but are you sick or something...you sound a bit off?" Claire finally said and Posh gave a sigh. "No, I'm as right as rain. So is Matt. He's in the other room right now, drinking coffee like the marter of glee. Now, look, don't get so wound up about small things. It's all okay, no ones mad, so just take a breather and quit worrying, Claire." She said, not meaning it the way she said it. She really did want Claire to chill down for once and loosen up. But she never intended to say it. Then again the morning after she drank heavily she usually had low patience and tolerance. She heard an odd noise over the phone, like the sound of plastic straining. Was she gripping her phone? "Look I'll just see you guys tomorrow. Enjoy your day off." She hung up and Posh was left there blinking in surprise. Had Claire actually sounded mad? She rolled her eyes and shoved the phone into her back pocket and walked into the kitchen. She smeeled the coffee and felt the instant need for it. Her stomach felt a tad bit sour and her headache would soon clear with caffine. "Yay coffee. Mind if I take some?" She said and looked over at the two. They looked rested but still with the bitterness of the 'morning after' effect. "Good morning to you two too." She said with a small smirk.

When Paige stumbled in Matt nodded a greeting to her," Go for it. morning' I am still going into my classes, I have to at least be there because I didn't tell the dean... Did you want to chill here with Mara and go shopping later or go back to your dorm?" He asked more quiet then his usual voice, his voice sounded a bit dull like his head ache. He was As good as dressed, though he was sure he would change. He had about 40 more minutes before morning classes, there was a late start this morning due to an assembly on the other side of the grounds for a new math building, not that the science department cared. He already left himself notes last night to tell him exactly what was going on so he didn't have to think.

Posh gave her lip a tap. "Shopping sounds fun. Beat having to listen to the dorm mothers hound me about skipping my classes." She said as she looked to Matt with a raise of her brow. "Well good luck with classes. That's going to be hell." She said as she gave her coffee a bit of cream and gave it a sip. "mmm. Lovely." She giggled at she tasted the warm drink.

He smiled," Oh I know." He said then after his one cup he headed out grabbing what he needed, and he had changed after all. Once he arrived he opened his class room door and took his seat not a moment later the warning bell rang and people started coming in. It was already too loud but he was going to have to suck it up. Once the final bell rang he sighed," Good morning class, Today is a review day. I'll pass out your tests then you can look over them and correct what I have marked wrong. To improve your grade." Once hew as done his head was splitting, he got his coffee going and took his seat after closing all the blinds in his class.

Claire sat in her usual seat, in the meantime watching the clouds outside the window as she waited for class to begin. Seems Posh was in a rather moody way this morning, even when she was only concerned about her and Matt. They had left the campus and a student or two had stopped her to ask where they were since she was often around them. Not to mention the rumors about Matt and Natalie were only getting worse. Now some were even claiming Paige broke them up. She was starting to get annoyed with it all honestly, especially since even the girls around her were giggling and whispering about it. Claire fiddled with her pencil, hiding her peeved look. The people were wrong. Matt wouldn't run around with Natalie after all the crap she did to him and his home. Claire didn't even know the half of it and she knew the woman was more trouble than she was worth...But that didn't take away from the fact that all these circulating rumors hardly made her feel comfortable. If they were this brutal to him over Posh and Natalie....what would others think if she actually went on a date with him? Or that she actually felt something for him? She had had crushes in the past, but they never felt like this...She never felt her heart race just hearing their name or felt herself blush whenever they caught her eyes. She didn't want to be around them the way she did him and she certainly didn't think about them as friends or even as anything more than that. Even in her inexperience with love and dating, she knew that what she felt made her care about Matt. Or at least enough to not want him to be embarrassed by word getting out someone like her went on a date with someone like him. Or that she had feelings for him of some kind that were so awkward, even for her. She sat back in her seat, letting out a breath through her nose. She needed to calm herself, especially since no doubt there would be a sub today. Posh made it clear her and Matt were hung over and not coming to class... Claire jumped a bit when the chair next to her scraped the floor and she looked in the direction to find a familiar looking male was there. It was the one that was arguing with Posh in the hall the first day she met her. She blinked at him, shrinking in her seat when he looked in her direction. She remembered him as angry, but now he looked calm, civil even. "Sorry, mind if I take this seat?" He asked and she gave a slow shake of her head, not really feeling like putting together a response to a complete stranger. She wasn't good with on the spot conversation. He nodded and grabbed his notebook, tossing it on the desk and looking slightly frustrated. He let out a huff before looking in Claire's direction, making her jump when he spoke to her again. "You are friends with Paige right?" She glanced in his direction, her head bobbing in a silent "yes." The guy gave her a funny look at her silence but continued. "Have you seen her at all today? She left her crap at my flat and I'm sure she needs it." He drew a makeup bag out of his backpack, putting it on the table with a rather exhausted look. It honestly was a massive thing, covered in what looked to be sequence and sparkles. A true Posh accessory. Why would this random guy have it? Claire's eyes narrowed as she thought, but then something clicked and she sat up a bit straighter. "You're Daniel? Her boyfriend?" She asked out of nowhere, actually surprising the guy that she spoke. He looked a bit humored however to hear boyfriend come out of the girl's mouth. "Nah Miss American. More like friends with benefits. We tried the dating thing. Didn't work out." He let that drop since he knew that she saw the end of that escapade. Tying Posh down was like trying to wrestle a bear on ice. She didn't like commitment and showed she had a tendency to wander if you weren't on her case. He didn't like being the bad guy of the situations she got him into, but he was tired of dealing with it. "Sorry by the way about that day. You caught me in a proper piss poor moment." He said and Claire gave a small shrug. She really didn't take it personally, especially since she had intruded in their conversation. "It's fine...It's Claire by the way." Daniel gave her a half smile, something that was almost friendly. However it faded when Prof. Schwartz walked in with the tests. The whole room seemed to tense, except Claire who had already heard from Matt that she passed. She however did look a bit concerned when she saw the way he looked almost exhausted, even flinching slightly at the first bell that signaled class was starting. She was surprised to hear it was a review day and that after passing the tests back that he shut all the blinds and retreated to his desk. She tilted her head slightly at his behavior, not understanding why he was acting that way. "Don't tell me you're confused? He's hungover, Ya--Claire." She blinked at Daniel's words and let her eyes settle on Matt. Seems he and Posh had a lovely night out partying. Perhaps that was what he needed after that long day yesterday. "Man my grade--How the hell did you make better?" Daniel coughed when he caught sight of Claire's score in his distraction. She looked to him with a slight confusion, unsure of how to answer. "Um...studying?" "Aren't you a cocky one. Funny. Now let me see what I did wrong at least." He snickered, taking his notes out and observed the ones he got wrong. Claire didn't mind pointing out an error or two for him, especially since she had already finished correcting hers and wasn't really wanting to bother Matt at the moment. He seemed out of it and she was worried she had upset him with her behavior, even if Posh rather blatantly denied that.

Matt was miserable- understatement. He was in hell- loud noises, people asking him questions and bright lights- yep hell. There were some students who just sat and corrected what they messed up, he didn't mind them but he gave a few glares to those who did come up to his desk. As the bell was about to ring as he glanced at the clock he stood up and spoke again. "Times up for corrections, bring me your tests on your way out the door. I will give half credit for your fixed answers." he said letting them know they weren't getting full credit but half was just as good sometimes. When Claire came up with Daniel with her test he gave her a softer look and a tired smile. "Please come see me at lunch over your test please Miss Claire." He stated in a low voice since he was tired but ti wasn't bad. It wasn't over her test but over the rumors he ahd heard a few other teachers e-mailed him about this morning. If they heard them then he was sure Claire had...

Claire worked with Daniel on a few things and wrapped up what she could with him. She owed Paige a favor or two and helping out her not-boyfriend seemed fair enough payment. When Matt called for the tests to be returned, she rose from her seat and get in line with the others to turn things in. She walked to the front with her heart in her throat, her attention on the floor instead of her impending meet up with him. She knew she had to face him some time today , but in front of all these people and the rumor mill? She steeled herself for him to ignore her, or at the very least dismiss her for the way she treated him yesterday. She looked at him and was shocked to find that he was smiling at her, even had a softer look than he had towards the others. For a moment, she felt her heart twittering in relief, but the tiredness in his expression made her reserve her hope for later. She wondered just what Posh had gotten him into and if she looked any worse. She paused when he asked her to come by during her lunch block to see him over her test. She didn't understand why that would be an issue since she thought she had passed. Had someone cheated off her again? She felt a pang of worry just thinking about it, but something in his expression told her this wasn't the whole truth. Maybe there was something else on his mind? She gave him a small nod, her expression curious since she wondered what he was getting at. "Alright, Professor Schwartz." The bell few her attention and she noticed that she had only a few minutes to head to her English class. "I will see you soon." She actually spared him a wave as she left though when she got around the corner she blushed a little at the awkward display. How could she not just have a cool, normal interaction with him? She went to her English period and spent most of the time listening to the professor knock their essays as worthless and embarrassing. She ignored the woman in favor of thinking about just what Matt could want with her. When the bell rang, she got up from her seat and collected her essay, only stopping for a bit to read it over and see what she had done wrong. It wasn't too much longer till she had her free period that she remembered Matt had as well. She walked to the physics classroom, her eyes going to the hall around her. Most of the girls walking by ignored her and others didn't even seemed to notice where she was headed. That made her feel at least a little better as to not start yet another rumor. When she went to the classroom door, she knocked lightly before peeking in. "Matt, you wanted to see me?" She asked just to check if everything was alright at the moment for her to speak with him.

After the next class he was feeling a bit better, the medication helping his headache. He was re grading some answers on a test when he heard Claire's voice. He glanced up and gave her a smile, nodding as he spoke. "Yes, I did wish to see you. You got a A after your corrections, good job. Anyhow I wanted to talk about tonight and about some of these ridiculous rumors." He said telling her what he wished to speak about. He stood up and straightened up his shirt feeling a little frumpy. "Any and all rumors concerning both Natalie and myself are a lie- first of all. I had her removed from my class and she is angry for being taken out of my class, and she is just angry over our break up- so don't pay her or anyone else any mind." He explained as he moved around tot he side of his desk and took a seat so he could be comfortable while he spoke to her.

Claire stood near his desk, her eyes on him as he was regrading. He was sweet for letting people make up their lost points, espeically since it would maybe help them all quite a bit. She even got an A out of the test, something that would help her for this semester. "I had a good tutor." She said with a smile, being honest since he had helped her quite a bit lately. When he rose and began to say that they were going to talk about tonight and the rumors, she tensed a bit, realizing that he actually was bothered by all this. He didn't seem mad with her at least, so that calmed her from feeling like hiding. She paused when he began to explain the rumors and that they were false, sparked from Natalie getting spurned from the break up. She blinked when he told her not to pay people mind, especially since he looked rather serious about it. It was true, she had been worried about them bit for another reason entirely. She gave him a nod, her eyes going to the floor. "I have been ignoring them. And I believe you completely, Matt. But it's hard not to think about everything while people are constantly talking about it." She said, her hands folding being her as she fidgeted a bit. "After all that I've seen her do so far, I can't imagine you'd want her back...but all these rumors. You're bothered by them right? I hate that you're having to deal with all of that." She said as she looked up, trying to figure out how to talk to him or at least share some of her fears with him about all this.

Matt frowned at her questions that sounded kinda irritated at the whole situation. "I'm more bothered that you would be upset over them." he stated however he moved form his desk and went over to the door, making sure it was closed properly and the shades were down on it to be sure he wasn't over heard or seen. he turned back to her and gave her a light smile before moving forward back towards the desk and Claire. he took her hand, watching her face as she looked at him. "I like you, I know that Natalie figured this out and is going her damnedest to keep you in a poor site of me so you wouldn't think of dating me- much less considering me." he explained honestly. he looked a bit nervous however he sounded a bit more confident then he looked. There was an awkward pause, he wasn't too sure how she was going to take this but he wanted to at least let her know how he felt.

Claire's brow furrowed when he said that he was bothered that she was upset over the rumors. She wasn't sure why he shut the door and checked the blinds, however she didn't really think to ask. She trusted Matt wasn't out to hurt her feelings or deal with more trouble. He was too kind for that. She watched him walk back over to her, a smile on his face that made her heart beat a bit faster. Her pulse skyrocketed when he suddenly took her hand, the butterflies in her stomach acting up to the point she had trouble meeting his gaze. She hardly expected the words coming out his mouth, let alone that he would ever tell her this. Her surprise showed, her cheeks turning a bright pink as her heart had a freakout. She wasn't sure how to respond, or even really what to say back to him. She could be honest...but that was embarrassing...and still this all confused her. Why would he care anything about her? She was awkward and quiet and odd. Not pretty or even anything like Natalie...She gave a small bite of her lip, her mind going a few places at once. She had to give him a response, to say something with all this quiet before things got even more awkward and she was completely tongue tied. She liked Matt, she really did. So why couldn't she tell him that? She took in a breath and decided to say the first thing that came to mind. "Cool." She said, though soon after her face turned a few shades of red. She put a hand to her face, mentally face palming for her awkward response. 'cool? what kind of response is that to someone's confession?' She felt like crawling under a rock in embarrassment. She cleared her throat, deciding to try again. "I-I mean not cool--No wait that is cool--Nice! That's the word I was looking for. It's nice to hear that you like me--or would even want to date me because--because I--well um..." She stammered before giving a heavy sigh. "I'm so very bad at this. Sorry Matt. I wanted to say that I don't care about Natalie or these rumors. They don't make me see you differently because well I already consider you a lot. You know like--like you a lot." She said in a round about way that took more effort than she thought it would. She had never confessed to someone, let alone been confessed to...all of this was so new it was almost scary, but in a good way if that was even possible.
