Random, unconnected thoughts keep running around my mind as I do my best to shut my best friends out.

I don't know why I didn't expect it, but Clementia and Gwendalyn do not get along.

When Gwendalyn and Elena finally came to school, they were baffled to discover that not only did I reconcile with the boys and my former best friends, I've also been having my lunch with them. They were lost with all that has happened so I decided to invite them to our table to fill them in with what they've missed.

When I felt like I was moving from one place to another to look for somewhere to belong, they're the ones who showed me I already had a place with them. I didn't feel alone during the time I lost my connection to Blaire and Clementia because they were right by my side. For 5 years, we've stuck together. I wasn't planning to replace them or leave them behind.

I was ecstatic. I was excited. I couldn't believe I was having lunch with all of them. I never even dared to imagine such a scene because I never thought we'd patch things up but it happened. It's just that, things didn't go as smoothly as I expected.

At this point, I should just really stop expecting.

Elena and Blaire got along just fine even though I can tell Elena was nervous. She was never really good at making new friends so it was understandable. After all, we were also sitting with the boys. The fact that she happens to have a crush on one of them is just the cherry on top of her situation.

Clementia and Gwendalyn, on the other hand, not so much. Clementia found my strawberry blonde best friend to be rude because of the dirty looks and snide comments she made. Gwendalyn thought my redhead of a best friend was pretentious because of her big vocabulary and prim movements. In my opinion, they're both right to some extent.

They were honestly amusing for the most part. I found it amusing, the boys found it amusing, even Blaire and Elena too. Gwendalyn has always been rude but she's on a whole other level when she has to socialize with someone she doesn't like. She doesn't back down and she doesn't filter the words she wants to say to your face even when she knows it could hurt, especially when she knows it could hurt. On the other hand, Clementia has always been decorous, reticent even. She has a leash on her emotions, even better than I do. She handles insolence with class. All that seems to fly right out of the window every time she clashes with Gwendalyn, and it's just a sight to behold. And I thought Jaxon riled her up before...

It was entertaining in the beginning. It would probably be even entertaining some other time. But not today. Today is Friday. Today is the first meeting of The Vanguard Chronicles. Today is my first day as the new official editor in chief of our organization but their nagging complaints about their job are making me feel disrespected. I even feel a little incompetent because I'm the one who assigned Clementia as the features editor and Gwendalyn as the lead photographer. They're good at what they do and I know they deserve their titles but right now, they're acting as if they don't. It's just a little disheartening on a supposedly good day for the three of us.

"Sia, are you even listening to me?!" Gwendalyn asks right in my ear. I just roll my eyes at her.

Why did I not bother to watch Criminal Minds earlier?
