It might seem crazy what I am about to say

Sunshine she's here, you can take a break

"Oh my god you changed it an made it worse" Nova complained putting a pillow over her head.

I'm a hot air balloon that could go to space

With the air, like I don't care, baby, by the way

"Shut it off!" She shouted toward Juliet's bed, when she heard humming along to the lyrics from next to her. Then a head popped up from under the covers and she immediately pushed them off. A squeal was heard from the floor and she peeked over the bed to see Juliet on top of a shirtless Theo.

Which means Theo let out the girly squeal.

He immediately stood up.

"Ew ew" he let out as a shiver ran up Juliet's spine.

"I'll be right back, I'm going to look for an aspirin" Juliet groaned rubbing her head. Nova sat up as Juliet walked out of the room to the bathrooms. Nova sat up and yawned making Theo let out a chuckle.

"What?" she asked. He sat down on the edge of her bed and twirled a strand of her hair on his finger "Your morning look is cute"

She blushed at his remark but shrugged it off and stood in front of the mirror. She began to brush her hair when Theo came up behind her and ran his hands through his.

"How did you end up on the floor?" she asked Theo, he looked over at her.

"Well, I was looking around for Jules, and then I found that Alex guy but he said she ran off. So I went all around the dorms freaking out and opening all the doors, seeing some things I wish I wouldn't have..." he paused and shivered "But I didn't find her so I came here and she was soundly asleep next to you, and I decided to stay here because I din't feel like walking all the way back"  He shrugged and walked to the end of the room, over to Juliet's side.

He grinned at the picture of them two when Juliet walked trough the door chugging a water bottle.

"Get out we have to get dressed we go to town today, it's Saturday" Juliet said while pushing Theo out the door. After he was out Nova's mouth turned into a wide grin.

"Today's the day my friend!"

"The day for what?" Juliet asked grabbing a towel

"The day Carlie explains herself"

Juliet's eyes widened" "No no no. I dislike confrontation, let's just drop it" Nova shook her head while grabbing her robe.

"Nobody's talking about confrontation...you'll see" Juliet shook her head as they both walked down the hallway to the showers. After showering and doing their hair, they went back to their dorm to get dressed.

Juliet laid her hair down and opted for classic jeans, a short sleeve white button up and black oxfords. Nova wore converse, jeans and a pink floyd concert tee with her hair down. They walked out of their dorms that were on the second floor and walked down the stairs to find it staff-less.

As they always did on the days they went to town, they waited in front of the main entrance with the rest of the girls for the bus.

"Girls!" The high-pitched shrilling voice of their dorm manager, Ms. Petunia Heckman, rang through as she shuffled out of the doors.

"Hello Ms.Heckman" They all said in unison

"Hello girls I'm sorry to be so late but I completely slept through after that horrible stomach flu" Nova smiled remembering hearing people rushing through the bathroom while behind the curtain with Liam.

"I'm afraid I have terrible news, we will have to ride the bus with the boys from St.Helen's" The girls groaned, apparently (With a few exceptions)a fight had broken out between genders yesterday at the party. Certain things were said and names were called out and the tension between the schools was slowly starting to build.

Ms.Heckman began walking toward St.Helens, she was a lady in her early fifties who for an unknown reason despised all men. The girls began to walk behind her. As Nova walked, a girl that she recognized from her P.E class came up to her.

"Nova!"

"yes?" Nova asked skeptically, the girl smiled brightly at her.

"You are so great, you're like so inspiring" The girl let out in one single breath

"What are you talking about?" Nova questioned, wondering what drugs this girl was on.

"You're so strong and independent, I wish I was like you"

"What in the world are you saying?" The girl's expression changed to a confused one. She pulled out her phone and showed Nova an article on the gossip blog.


The First Rager of the Year:

Yesterday night what started as a regular high school party, which hasn't been done in four years here at our schools, became a full out rager. With broken windows, fights and sexual encounters.

One example is this one featuring our very own Nova De Luna.

Under there was a picture of her and Theo walking together when they were looking for Juliet, then one of her and Liam walking out of the room, followed by one of Dominic walking out with a beat up face.

It appears a fight broke out between jealous boyfriend Liam and our Linebacker Dino, who apparently attempted to try to get our previous star soccer player to sleep with him.

"I'm not dating him !" She exclaimed, making the girl smirk. She continued reading.

And in the subject, we have nerdy Juliet Montreau showing us her wild side.

Nova's eyes widened at the picture underneath. Juliet laid on a table lit up by neon lights with a lime in her mouth and Alex taking a shot from her stomach.

"Wow"

In other news a fight broke out  between the boys and girls, it seems we're finally taking saving our school seriously.

She gave the phone back to the girl and rushed over to Juliet who let out a frantic scream, her head whipped towards Nova.

"You!" She shrieked out and began to smack her.

"You shouldn't have let this happen!"
Nova snorted as Juliet kept hitting her
"Stop you're making a bruise"

Juliet groaned and turned her attention back to the article, she shouldn't have done that because she found this:

Nerdy Juliet Montreau to break up Charles and Melanie.

"Juliet come back!" Nova let out, but it was too late she was already stomping her way ahead of the group toward St.Helens.
