hey guys!
soon, the first few chapters of my new book 'Pretty Little Popular Girl' will be released. It surrounds a girl, Arabella, who is 'Queen of the Juniors' in her high school. Her brothers girlfriend, Rosalie, is the most popular girl in the school, as she is 'Queen of the Seniors' and she is responsible for creating the Tier system in the school.

In amongst all the parties, gossip and drama, who will Arabella choose to be with, her popular crush or the new boy, who promised her and her friends nothing but trouble.

Please give it a read, i swear you will not regret it!!!

"I don't know about you lot, but I am ready to go to sleep". Archie says, jumping onto the mattress next to Veronica's. "I swear to god Archikins, you'd better not snore in my ear". Veronica warns him as she throws a blanket over herself.

I laugh at the two of them, sitting down on the mattress on the other side of Veronica. Cheryl turns out the light and we al try to sleep.

20minutes goes by and i'm fairly sure i'm the only one still awake. Suddenly, I notice a pair of dark eyes on me, the only thing visible in the dark room. I jump when I see them and Veronica laughs quietly to herself. "Sorry B". she whispers.I shake my head, a smile on my face. "Almost gave me a heartattack". I whisper back and she laughs again.

"Do you think anything's gonna happen tonight?" she asks me.
"What do you mean?" I respond.
"I mean, do you think that something will happen to Nana Rose tonight?" she asks again and I sigh.

"It's hard to tell, Penelope Blossom is crazy but I don't know if she would go as far as to kill someone". I respond.
"Cheryl has every right to be paranoid, I mean, her brother was murdered in cold blood - by his own father" she says.

I nod as I think it all through. Clifford Blossom had no problem killing Jason Blossom. Of course Cheryl would think that Penelope Blossom and Claudius Blossom would have no problem killing Rose Blossom.

"The family as a whole is messed up". I reply, thinking it all through. Veronica sighs. "Yeah, it is. We should try to get some sleep tonight- as much sleep as you can get in a house as haunted as this". she shudders and I laugh.
"Goodnight V".
"Night B".

I wake up and check the time on my phone. 2:05am. Sitting up, I look around at all of the mattresses. Veronica, next to me, successfully managed to fall asleep after our chat. Cheryl, on the other side of me, is also sleeping, her red hair scattered everywhere. Josie, Jughead and Peter are all also silent on the other side of Cheryl.

As quietly as I can, I stand up and leave the room. I walked to the dining room and sat at their dining table, looking out of the window at the black sky, the stars twinkling.

It's funny how in every place in this huge world, we all see the same exact moon. In some ways, it is the only stable thing in my life. With all the murders, gangs, violence, all of the horrible things that take place in the daytime, it's almost calming to see the moon nowadays.

"Hey". I hear from behind me, taking me out of my train of thought. I turn and see Peter leaning on the door frame.
"Hi". I respond with a small smile.
"You ok?" he asks, walking into the room and sitting down next to me.
"Yeah, I just couldn't sleep".
"Me neither". He replies, running a hand through his messy hair.

I nod slowly, glancing at him from the side of my eye. His hair, although messy, looks really soft and fluffy and I can't help but admire. His voice sounds a little bit deeper than usual, and in this light, his brown eyes almost look grey.

I look away, slightly embarrassed. "Have you seen the moon?" I ask, pointing outside to get my mind off of what just went through my head, "I mean, it's simply beautiful."
"Like you". he whispers. I whip my head round to look at him, slightly shocked at what i had just heard.

He puts his own hand over mine as I look at him. When I do, I see his brown eyes on my green ones. His gaze falter for a moment, as he looks down at my lips for a split second before returning to my eyes.

Slowly, he leans towards me, I do the same and-

"Did you hear that?" he asks me and I nod in confusion, not sure of what that noise was. It sounded like a crash. We both stand quickly and run out of the room, past all of our friends stirring from their sleep, and into the hallway.

Lying on the floor in front of us, is Nana Rose, her face as grey as the moon.
