Author's note

I'm gonna start naming the chapters, so I'm gonna go back and name chapters 1-5. So nothing will change in those chapters except for the name.

Ross' P.O.V.

I had realised that we had lost Carly, Louis, Josh, and Lindsay. That just left me, Logan, Annabel, and Arianna. Arianna was by my side, and I reached for her hand, but I hesitated. No one's ever made me feel this way. I haven't dated many girls, actually. And when I have, well, it hasn't gone well.

Arianna noticed my hand and reached for it, smiling. Her touch sent a tingle through my body. I pulled he over to the side and pushed her against a wall. I couldn't help myself. I pressed my lips against hers. She seemed surprised at first, but she soon understood what was happening and leaned into the kiss. God, I loved her.

Casey's P.O.V.

"Oh my God, Niall!" I whispered, hoping none of my friends had found us. We were backstage, well, getting to know each other better. Niall looked at me with a big grin on his face. "Don't 'Oh my God' me. I know you enjoyed it." He winked. I smacked him hard. I know I'm a girl, but I'm not weak, I know that; Lindsay's bruises have proved it. He looks at me hurt, them tackles me into a kiss. Finally, I push him off of me and check the time. I gasp.

"Ni..." He looks at me. "Yeah?" He pulls me closer to him. "We've been making out for over a half an hour. It's 10:00 and I have no idea where my friends are." He hugs me. "Don't worry, they couldn't have gone far." I take his hand and we walk towards the main theatre. On our way, we hear sounds similar to this of mating cats. We turn a corner, and I see Lindsay being eaten by a random guy.

"Shit, she's getting raped!" I say. Niall grabs me though. "That's Josh Hutcherson. Don't worry, I don't think she's getting raped. I think it was voluntary." He winked and we tiptoe past them. We make it to to the main theatre, and we sit down and wait for our friends.

Arianna's P.O.V.

Ross seemed super nervous whenever he was around me. I tried to make him bettera, but to no avail. The only time he was confident was when he was kissing me. God, was he confident.

We finished our... Um... Business and walked out, surprised to find Casey and Niall laughing like old friends. I ran up to Casey, interrupting their moment. Casey glared at me, but then pulled me into a hug.

"Niall, this is Arianna." She smiled, pointing to me. Niall held out his hand. Oh my God, I'm gonna shake Niall Horan's hand. I sheepishly shook it, silently giggling like an idiot. I then turned to Casey, and I gave her a look. A look that said "I know what you and Niall were doing before." Casey turned a bright red.

I smiled! Then turned to Niall, "Well, Niall, It seems that you've gotten to known friend Casey well." Niall turned the same shade of red as Casey. I continued. "I have no objections to that, but I want you to know this; Casey's my best friend. No, wait, she's more like my sister. So you break her heart, I break your face." Niall's eyes opened wide, and Casey glared at me.

"I... I would never do anything to hurt Casey." He stuttered nervously. I looked Niall over, and felt bad. I knew he would never hurt Casey. I was just so afraid of her getting hurt again...

Casey's P.O.V.

I was absolutely mortified by what Arianna said to Niall. I sat there in complete shock for a bit before smacking her. "Arianna! That was really uncalled for." I turned to Niall. "I'm so sorry. I don't think you're gonna hurt me. I-" he cut me off by kissing me. "Casey, it's okay. I'm not going to hurt you. I promise." As me and Niall sat there, Anna and... Logan Lerman?? Whoa... Anna walks up to me, the biggest smile on her face.

"Casey! Meet Logan!" She said, and Logan smiled. I stuck out my hand, but he pulled me into a hug. I kinda just stood there as he hugged me. Was Logan Lerman really hugging me? Well, I did suck face with Niall Horan... Damn.

Annabel's P.O.V.

Seeing Logan hug Casey made me feel happy inside. I felt like he was accepting the weird that is Casey. As they stopped hugging, Carly, Josh, Lindsay, and Louis appeared. The boys introduced themselves to Casey, and the girls waved to Niall. We chatted for a bit until Arianna gasped. "Oh lord, it's 12:30!" She yelped. "Curfew was 10:30..." Lindsay trailed off. The girls and I exchanged glances.

Wait, what curfew?" Josh said, confused. "The program that held the Open Mic is a boarding school. We have dorms. And those dorms... Have curfew." I say. "We'll that's a shit idea!" Niall exclaims.

"We have no choice." Casey says. "Then quit..." Josh whispers. We look at him like he's insane. "What? Just quit. Then you'll be FREEEEEEE!!" He squeals. "It's not that simple." Carly says. "Well, how about you Tell your teacher thingy

you want to quit, and done!!" We think it over. "I hate this program anyways." Casey says. We all nod in agreement. "Okay, so it's settled. But now we need a place to stay." Carly said. I smiled.

"I have a place right here in Manhattan. It was an 18th birthday present. We can stay there." Everyone smiles. "Even me?" Logan wraps his arms around me. I nod. "You boys can stay too, if you want." They smile and nod.

"Now, all we need to do is sneak onto the dorm and grab our stuff." Arianna says. "Easy. All we need is a plan." Ross smiles.
