LEONA

The sounds of birds chirping wakes me up, I look around to see everyone already awake. We all passed out at Hunter's place? "I got a damn emicrania." Romeo says as he walks out from the hall. "A what?" Rose questions.

"I don't know how to say in English. Leona?"

"Me either," I turn to Santiago who's picking trash off the floor, "Santiago, how do you say migrana in English?"

"Migraine."

"Ohhh!" Alex and Rose say in unison before both sighing, "Same." Hunter then enters the Living room with pain killers in his hand. "Wait. Romeo where were you sleeping?" Alex says, smirking.

"Guest room, Smartass. Unlike your dumbasses who passed out on the floor." Alex rolls her eyes.

"Nice try, Red." Hunter says, laughing. Rose raises an eyebrow then leans to whisper some thing to Alex. "Ohh secret, secret! Why don't you two share with the rest of the class?" Santiago says, sitting down between the two. "Hunter are you straight!?" Alex blurts, earning a slap from Rose, "Alex!" Romeo almost chokes on his water while giving Alex and Rose the 'I'll kill you both' look, while Hunter looks taken aback. "I thought I answered that yesterday?" He says, smiling slightly.

"Never got a real answer." Rose shrugs. Hunter mimics her shrug and walks out the room. "I need words, Hunter Smith!"

"Don't pressure him, you two." Santiago hits both Rose and Alex softly but hard enough to get the message. "Does it matter if he is or not?" Romeo says, annoyed before storming at the room.

"Is he okay?"

Something happened last night, Romeo was mad about something. It clearly didn't have anything to do with Alison so what was it?

SANTIAGO

I sigh in annoyance as I hear fangirls screaming their hearts out as me and Hunter enter the school.

"You'll get used to it. Besides it's not as bad as paparazzi following you everywhere...well you don't have to deal with them anymore."

I guess he was right, and it's true I didn't have to deal with them anymore. When I was three my parents died in a car accident, then my grandparents died when I was four. By the time I turned seven Hunter's parents adopted me.

To the media it was huge. Paparazzi would swarm me everywhere, the flashing lights and large crowds overwhelm me.

They still do.

People rush through the hall as the bell rings. Other walk slow in hopes they don't actually have to go to class while secretly hoping they make it before the late bell so they don't get another detention.

Me? I stand by my locker for a bit, I've mastered the art of making it to class a few seconds before the second bell, but I'm not always lucky but that's completely irrelevant.

Arms wrap around my waist as a smaller figure leans against me, humming. I look down to see pink acrylic nails resting on my chest.

"Get off of me, Alison."

"Aw you didn't think I was that Leona girl? I bet if it was her you wouldn't mind." Alison starts to press kisses onto my back. I turn around to stop her, "Leona did nothing to you, so stop assuming shit about her. Besides I doubt she'd get bright ass nails that honestly make me want to vomit, and she wouldn't wear that."

What was her deal? She's jealous so she's trying to make Leona look bad for no reason. I don't know Leona all that well but just how she acts, looks, speaks you can tell she's been through a lot of shit. She doesn't have much confidence in herself and she's really antisocial so why do people say she's a slut?

"But she would, Santi. It's a school uniform." I grimace at the nickname. She's the one person I don't allow to call me that.

I take a look at Alison's appearance. Short red hair, bangs that cover her forehead, brown eyes, uniform shirt unbuttoned to shoe cleavage, skirt a few inches too short. She looks like a slutty school girl...nothing like Leona.

"You're wrong if anyone looks slutty it's you." I start to walk away. I'm gonna be late for class.

"You were into me though. Reallyyy into me. Think your brother would be too? Ah but he's gay isn't he? It's a shame, Romeo is attractive and all but I don't he'll give Hunter a trill like I can."

I stop walking, "Being into you was a big mistake and leave Romeo, Hunter, Leona, and anyone of my friend's names out your mouth."

"Secret, secret." She says, blowing a kiss. Alison's only good at talking when others don't bother to listen. Whatever she says about anyone are just untrue rumors. Only dumbasses believe that anything she says is true, others are actually smart. Thankfully.

Picture above is who I think Alex Marlette looks like.

I couldn't find pictures for the boys so they well be described in late chapter (similar to how Alison was described)
