"Sometimes it's better to be alone. Nobody can hurt you." Megara, Hercules

Danny walked through a high school party. There were lots of teenagers, all smiling and laughing and drinking soda. From what she could tell, there were no drunken people or alcohol. She continued to walk through the house, when it suddenly hit her. This was her house! "Hey! HEY!" No one noticed her. This must be a dream, she thought. This was her farewell party. She saw Kyle's friends, the girls on the cheer squad, and the kids from her drama club. An ominous feeling passed through her. Something wasn't right. Danny began to run, past the kitchen and into the backyard, where a few couples were enjoying Northern California's summer. She had a severe sense of foreboding. This was the night Kyle...Whirling around, she raced up the stairs. Reaching her bedroom, she put her ear to the door. Nothing, but she didn't have time to go get a glass. "Just a sec, lemme go grab it!" Danny whirled around. She saw herself, running up the stairs, opening the door. "NOOOOO!!"

Danny sat up, breathing heavily, tears coursing down her cheeks. The dream wasn't new- she'd had it periodically after that scumbag Kyle cheated on her. "Mum! Mummmmm!" She cried.

"What? What is it, honey? The dream again?" Julie enveloped her in a hug. "Oh, honey, are you okay? The dream normally doesn't make you cry like that."

Danny wiped her eyes, and sighed, "It's probably because we had a 'discussion' today. I'm fine, Mum."

"All right." Julie stood up. "You can IM, you know. Your father and I don't care. See you in the morning." She smiled slightly and closed the door softly behind her. Of course! Danny whacked herself on the head. She could IM, or text! She walked over to where she had propped up her iMac against the wall-The same wall I felt move last night-and sat on her bed. Danny logged onto Facebook, searching for her best friends, Chocolate and Isabelle.

Bellababyy: Danny! Finally!

Chocolate_grrl: Been waiting all day! C hot British boys yet?

British_babe: no...Miss U guys so much! :( I'm sorry I've been busy unpacking like all day.

Bellababyy: Miss u too! :( Lonely w/o u! Miss looking 4 boys w/u!

Chocolate_grrl: Ya! Who're we supposed 2 go to the mall w/?

It's rare for Isabelle not to latch onto the "no", and rare for Chocolate, too. They must really miss me, Danny thought. To say her friends were boy crazy was putting it lightly. Normally they would say the reason Danny hadn't seen any cute boys was that she wasn't looking hard enough.

British_babe: IDK... w/ each other, maybe?

British_babe: Had the dream again...how's the perf couple doin?

Bellababyy: >:(~ they make me sick

Chocolate_grrl: Eww x10 made me want 2 throw up @ the Marc Jacobs shoot

Chocolate_grrl: Can u believe it? They "showed up" on "accident" even tho Jane has already been rejected :D lolol

Bellababyy: U didn't tell me this, u jerk *insulted*

Chocolate_grrl: U didn't ask! *sticking tongue out* HA!

Bellababyy: :/ Danny, sry about the dream

Chocolate's real name was Coco Cooper. She was black, and when she was little, her mom caught her eating chocolate frosting, sitting on the floor, with it smeared all over her face. Chocolate was her favorite food, unfortunate because she was a model. Chocolate was 5'10 and had the body of a model, which is why she was one of the first black models to grace Vogue's cover. Marc Jacobs himself had requested her personally for his shoots and fashion shows, and many other designers had asked her to be in their shows. Jane was a model as well, though not as well-respected-or demanded as much-as Chocolate. She was known to have quite the attitude and threw temper tantrums when she didn't get her way, and was forever trying to sabotage Chocolate's career.
