Hey, lovely readers! I love you all, you know. Please remember that at the end of this chapter also.

And yeah, this chapter is dedicated to my elder brother.

Why??

I don't know that either.

"Hey, Zena! Did you hear it?"

The famous Queen of Hilltop High raised her head from her cell phone and focussed her gaze on an excited Mia who was waving her cell phone in the air.

The five girls were gathered in the living room of Zena's apartment since the boys had gone fishing.

Yeah. All the seven of them.

When Henry, Lysander and others announced that they were all going fishing together, Zena couldn't help but feel slightly suspicious.

"We... We decided it'd be better if we get along, more, umm.  You know. We boys need to spend more time together." Lysander had said, with his arms flung over Edward's and Henry's shoulders. "So,bro bonding. We are going bro bonding aka fishing!!"

"Hear what?" She asked, not bothering to remove her legs that rested on the stool in front of her seat.

Lily raised her eyes from the book she was reading at the same time Isla peeked up from the cake she was frosting, a bit of pink frost visible on her right cheek, face flushed.

Emma, who was lying on the living room's couch with her legs in the air and a pillow over her face, groaned.
"Not another gossip!"

Mia ignored her protests and focussed on her phone screen. "This is the latest news on St. Faith's blog." She said matter of factly.

And now that, got Zena's attention.

She brought down her legs to rest on the floor and leaned forward, resting her elbows on her thighs, a look of curiosity on her face.

"What exactly does it says?" She asked.

Mia grinned widely.
"St. Faith's basketball star, Jonathan Thompson and his whole gang, beaten up by seven mystery boys." She read out loud.

Isla almost dropped her frosting bag with a gasp and Emma fell off the couch with a thud while Lily closed her book and turned her full attention to an amused Mia, her own eyes wide.
