LITERATURE CLASS HAD CHANGED THEIR SECOND SEMESTER CURRICULUM, INSTEAD OF READING CLASSICS, THEY WOULD NOW BE WRITING A TWENTY CHAPTER NOVEL, OR A COLLECTION OF POEMS. Lily was one week behind on the writing, and decided the collection of poems was easier. She could randomly put words on the document, and it would still be from the soul. However, coming up with those random words was the difficult part.

"Hard, isn't it?" the blonde asked, leaning over at Lily. Eliza had long straight blond hair, and used to have the popularity anyone would want at school. She was envied, she dated the hottest guys. One day, though, she came out to everyone saying she was bisexual, and that her new girlfriend Andrea had helped her realize this. She was accepted by many, but her popularity was now a bit lower.

Lilac nodded as she tried to focus on words that rhymed with vanilla, because yes, she was writing a poem on ice cream.

"Andrea is writing a mystery novel, I'm writing a collection of poems on equality and rights. Stereotyping the stereotypes, things like that."

"That sounds cool! I have a poet's block, though."

In that moment, the bell rang, and the students carefully started getting up and placing their laptops in their bags. Andrea walked up to the blond pair and watched how Scott walked up to Lily, a smile on his face.

"Scott! Nice to see ya." Eliza greeted him with delight, they had, after all, been in first to third and fifth grade together (in the same class).

"Hi Eliza," Scott smiled, then nodded at Andrea, "Andrea, right?"

The brunette nodded. This wouldn't be so hard, after all. She thought, playing with her hair.

Scott looked back at Lilac, and lowering his voice, asked "May we talk in private?"

Lilac looked at her new friends and nodded, it was probably about her zombie state. She then walked over to a corner of the room with him, but first told the girls she'd probably walk to the next class with Scott.

Andrea, however, stayed right on the spot, which Eliza noticed, since she nudged her elbow. "Andrea? They want to talk in private."

Andrea looked at her love, "There's a reason Lily doesn't hang out with his friends anymore. Shouldn't we be here, for her? Just in case?"

Eliza groaned, noticing something was wrong. "Babe, Lily knows what she's doing, she's smart." Then, teasingly, added, "She came back from the dead, after all.

Her girlfriend smiled, and followed Eliza outside, frowning on the inside.

MEANWHILE, LILAC TALKED TO SCOTT, HER EYES WIDE. "You what?" She asked, shock in her eyes, her mouth wide.

Scott gave her a nervous smile, "I told Malia, she doesn't hate you that much, actually. She was offended we didn't include her in the plan or the chat. Actually, Malia is also curious with your case."

"So she's going to-" Lily swallowed, "She's going to help you? Us? Me?" It just seemed unrealistic, Malia seemed to despise her.

"Yeah!"

The blond girl bit her lip, then looked up at her friend, who beamed at her. She sighed. "Fine."

Scott's smile widened as they both took off to acting class, together just like the old days.
