Let me tell you how the last week's events unfolded firstly Aurora announced that we were all going paintballing this weekend boys against girls. Iris and Raven spent 10 hours making us all matching outfits.

With black tracksuits with light blue parts to add shape and pattern. Our shoes are all dark blue, to blend in with the dark paintball theatre. And weirdest off all I am leading the girls team. Against Lucas and the boys.

We all met up for coffee at 7 on Saturday, all girls breakfast. No Gillian which felt strange for some reason. I had a black coffee and a blueberry muffin for energy. Scarlett did my hair and made my makeup fierce with red and golden eyeshadow. And golden lipstick. I looked like a warrior with my hair braided to my scalp. We made our way in for 8:30 and met the boys who were all sporting red. We were given blue paintballs and some motion detecting plates in our team colour. The paintball theatre was dark with barely any space to hide. Our strategy was to divide and conquer, we each went after specific targets. I Was given Gillian, Magnus and Lucas. I went after Lucas first.

The first shot was fired, Iris was out. She struggled to shoot a gun anyway so I wasn't that surprised.

I saw red, and shot, it was Magnus who congratulated me on his way to the out bench. I laid low for a minute or so. Waiting to hear other peoples steps.

There was another shot a blue pellet, which hit Sparky. He was out next, it was Darcy's target. I was ready to attack again, I saw red and shot. I wasn't sure who I hit but it was David as it turned out. I saw another flash of red so shot again, it was Gillian. And his face was so shocked and annoyed. I could not help but laugh.

I could hear shuffling behind me so re-loaded and faced towards the noise it was Lucas I shot before he had a chance. Then all hell broke loose, Raven was hit by Florian. Florian then took out Pandora, Piper and Scarlett. Danielle took him out. Diamond was left, well and Nathan. Darcy and Cleo were wiped out by both of them. I was the last one left,except Aurora. I reloaded and listened for movement, I saw red then fired hitting Diamond. Then turned around to see Nathan be hit by Aurora.

"We won, yes!" We celebrated jumping in the air.

"Blue team wins!" The speakers announced.

Afterwards we all went back to the school for lunch. The boys asked us what their punishment was. I remembered that we had all agreed upon the boys wearing all pink for a week. Gillian was already sporting a pink bracelet so he was ahead of the rest of them.

Darcy and Aurora announced it. The reactions were varied, Nathan shrugged, Lucas looked pretty annoyed. As for us girls we were giggling our heads off.

Gillian didn't care that much with a few darker pink jackets from me as a gift, and a few salmon shirts, and granite pink tracksuit bottoms.

Nathan had a half pink closet anyway.

The boys were all in pink for the next 7 days and I loved every minute of it. Gillian didn't smirk for the first 3 days, I did enough smirking to make up for it.

They became known as the pink squad, us girls were known as the galaxy girls. This was because we came from all over the galaxy. My skin is a rose pink with silver swirls, eyes glowing amber in colour. Brown wavy hair trailing down my back, finally I am who I am meant to be. A princess from another realm.

Anyway we partied every day until the end of school by party I mean, had sleepovers and I had my scheduled dates with Gillian. He let's me call him that because I pronounce it correctly unlike the others, or so he's told me. The best date was the last valentine's ball in the academy. We went as a couple, wearing red and looking so adorable trust me I look at the pictures every night when I miss him. I had my hair braided to my head in a crown pattern. And my makeup was done by Cleo and Scarlett to make me look like a 'fierce warrior queen' they cried shortly after seeing my finished look, they said "our little girl is all grown up." I then stepped out into the hall where Gillian was waiting. "Wow, you look beautiful Techna." He went really shy again.
