I wake up in a cold sweat. My nightmares were terrible. I look at the clock and it is 3:18 in the morning. I hear sounds coming from the hall. I sneak outside without waking Ivy. I am surprised to see Eliza in the hall reading.

"Are you okay?" I ask her.

She seems startled. " I couldn't sleep."

"What are you reading?"

"Just some adventure novel," she says.

"Do you realize what time it is?" I ask her.

"3:22 am and 46 seconds," she says with a confident voice.

"You should probably get to sleep." I tell her.

"I guess."

"You don't seem okay. What happened?" I ask her.

She sighs, "I had a dream Skylar betrayed me. I know it's stupid but it scared me. She would never do that. She's too nice."

"Yeah. Well you should get to sleep."

"Okay," she says standing up.

"See you tomorrow I mean today," I say.

"Why are you up?" She asks me.

"Same as you: nightmares," I say.

The next morning I wake up in my bed. We don't have school today. I get ready for the day and when I go outside into the hallway I see Ivy is talking to Sunny.

"Hey guys. What's up," I ask?

"Ivy just apologized for fighting about Sebastian," Sunny says.

"So you don't hate each other anymore?" I ask.

"For now," Ivy smiles.

Right then Cole comes over to us. "Hey girls."

"Hey Coleslaw the cheater," Sunny says.

"Hey Sunny the tattletale," he replied with a smirk.

"Hey lovebirds," Ivy says.

"NO!" They yell in unison. They look at each other and laugh.

"You owe me a soda," Cole says.

"Get your own stupid soda," Sunny says.

"When did you become sassy?" I ask her.

"Probably when I started having to put up with Cole."
