Here We Go Again

We decided to stay a little longer to test out Grace's and Tyler's truth with the whole "on your side now" thing. We keep our distance, we never talk unless it's "Hey, do you have a pencil I can borrow?" or "Your zipper is open." So, we really haven't gotten to know them very well. All except Mike. He skipped a couple classes on Monday but then he came right back to normal, and maybe even better! 0.O He's been hanging around Grace alot again. They walk to class, they eat lunch, they share pencils, what is going on!? :O They can't be dating again. Mike would never go back out with Grace again....well at least I thought he wouldn't. I don't even get a chance to get into their conversations to see what they are talking about. They don't act lovey dovey like they did when they were dating. They look like strick friends, but still. Maybe, it's that weird phase that couples go through when they break up. Once they get over the drama of breaking up, they go right back to being best friends. Whatever it is, it does not lessen Audree's anger issues. She's already mad that Grace is back but, now she's hanging out with Mike! It makes it a billion times worse! I try my best not to test her patience, knowing what she's going through. But Jasmine seems completely blind to these things. -__-'
-at lunch-
 Audree: Hey pass me the ketchup. :-|
 Jasmine: Hold on...*squeezing out every last drop* X-\
 Audree: That's enough! You're gonna use it all up! Other people need it too, you know! >:-\
 Jasmine: It's not enough for me! I need more! Now hold on! >:|
 Audree: There is no more! You're using it all! Now give me the ketchup! >:[
 Jasmine: If there is no more, then why do you still want it!? >:[
 Audree: Just give it to me already! D:<
 Jasmine: Hold on! D:<
 Audree: Come on! Lunch is gonna be over soon! D:<
 Jasmine: Here! O:<
 Adree: Finally! *tries to get ketchup out but bottle is empty* -__o COME ON! *flips table over*
Okay, so she didn't flip the table over but she looked like she was going to. I don't talk to Tyler at all but I notice how he seems a bit upset that Grace is hanging out with Mike so much. Ugh, must every little thing contain drama? I do now recall seeing Audree and Tyler bump into each other outside once and they shared a little conversation. But maybe it wasn't important. Maybe it was
 Tyler: Whoops, sorry. :-o
 Audree: Ugh, watch where you're going. >:\
 Tyler: Okay.... :|
 Audree: Good.... >:\
 Tyler: I'm going to class. :|
 Audree: That's what I was gonna do. -_-
 Tyler: Bye. :|
 Audree: Bye. >:|
Or it could have been a serious conversation :-0
 Tyler: Did you receive my message?
 Audree: I did, how do you want me to execute the mission?
 Tyler: Without being identified.
 Audree: Yes, sir.
 Tyler: See you at O nine hundred.
 Audree: Roger that.
Or maybe I'm just over reacting :| But then later that day I saw them talking again in the library. We all must have the same free period and chose to go to the library. At least, that's why I was there, Jasmine was with me. So, of course Jasmine wanted to eavesdrop.
   "Put the books up like this so they wont notice." said Jasmine as she and I stood behind a one way bookshelf.
We peeked through the cracks of the books and listened to their conversation. Luckily they weren't too far.
   "I still don't trust you." Audree narrowed her eyes on Tyler as she shoved a book in his hands
   "That doesn't mean we still can't be partners on this project." Tyler said holding on to the fifth book in his arms.
He held them like a tower and wobbled back and forth to keep them balanced.
   "It's not like we chose to be partners. We were forced by the teacher."
Tyler sighed as Audree placed another book on his book tower in his arms.
   "Shouldn't we read these before we get more books?"
Audree sighed and led the way to a round table where they both sat and each opened one book. Jasmine and I had to change position in order to see and hear properly.
   "Ugh. I hate Rome very much right now." said Audree not even reading the book
   "I find it very interesting. They were a very organized in their Democritus. In fact-"
   "Yeah, yeah, yeah. Save that stuff for the paper."
Tyler looked back at the book.
   "This is lame." whispered Jasmine "I thought they were doing something cool."
I looked at her like reading is cool! But she just looked at me like your a nerd.
   "Uh. hey." Audree said to Tyler who looked up from his book "I forgot something in another class. I'll be right back." she got up from her seat, took her book bag and left
   "Ooo! She lied!" giggled Jasmine
   "How do you know?" I asked
   "What's my name?"
   "Jasmine,"
   "Exactly."
After that was lunch and we sat at our usual table. Except Mike wasn't with us. He was sitting at another table with Grace. Tyler had skipped lunch to do whatever nerds do.
 Jasmine: *seeing what I typed* Wouldn't you know what that is? :-o
 Jamie: I'm not a nerd! >:[
Anyway, Tony left to dump hid tray. Our conversation went on as normal but then Tony came back into his seat like a maniac. I felt the wind hit me when he zoomed into his seat.
   "You guys! You guys are never going to believe this!" he panted
   "What?" Jasmine said
   "I was went over to throw my tray away and I pass by Mike and Grace's table and I heard Mike say 'I've kinda liked you for a while' to Grace!"
   "WHAT?" we all said at the same time
   "That's it." Audree got up and we all reached over and sat her back down
   "Hold on She-Hulk." Philip said to her "Tony are you sure?"
   "Whats a She-Hulk?" he asked
Philip looked at him like he was stupid. "She-Hulk....the cousin of Hulk."
   "The Hulk has a cousin?" I asked "When did this happen?"
   "What do you mean, 'when did this happen'?" Philip said he put his hands to his head "What is wrong with you people!?"
   "Okay! On to the more important stuff." said Tony redirecting our attention again
   "You really heard Mike say that he liked Grace to her." asked Audree with the saddest expression I've ever seen her put
   "Positive." confirmed Tony
Audree slumped back into her seat and we all fell into a silence. After a moment Audree seemed to have smoke coming from her ears and she got up from her seat, took her stuff and stormed out of the cafeteria. We all looked at each other nervously. Finally I thought it be best to go after her, to make sure she was okay.
   "I'm gonna go check on her." I said getting up
   "You sure that's safe?" asked Tony
I shrugged, and Jasmine got up. "I'll go too."
We left in search for Audree. We asked some kids if they saw her and they said she went to the quad area and that she had asked for Tyler before and that's who she was going to see. Jasmine and I exchanged nervous glances. We both know Audree to do stupid stuff when she's angry, but why would she want to talk to Tyler. She didn't like him at all. So we hurried there and we rounded the corner and saw Audree walking up to Tyler who was sleeping on one of the benches which was a little strange. Audree didn't seem to care one way or another, she pushed him and he fell immediately waking up. He was startled but he recovered in time to see Audree sit on the bench next to him. Jasmine and I went the other way in order to come into a corner behind them.
   "Uh, did you finish your part of the project?" Tyler asked scratching his head
   "I didn't come here to talk about the project." Audree said coldly "But no, I didn't."
Tyler gave a sour expression. "So....then..."
Audree took a shaky breath "Mike told Grace that he still liked her."
Tyler's eyes widened "Are they getting back together?"
   "I'm not sure...but they have been spending a lot of time together lately."
Tyler looked upset "Yeah, I know." there was a pause "Why are you telling me this? I know you don't want my comforting, or my advice."
Audree smirked "I know, I came for something else."
Tyler looked nervous "Then what?"
   "I want you to help me get Mike jealous."
Jasmine giggled and I stepped on her foot.
Tyler looked horrified "I can't do that!"
   "Sure you can! Just pretend to be my boyfriend and soon it will settle this whole thing will settle it's self."
   "You can't solve the problem by creating a lie."
Audree's eyes narrowed. "Fine, then what?"
   "Let's not jump to conclusions. I'm sure there is a reasonable explanation. Don't worry we'll figure it out. Until then wanna keep working on our project?"
Audree scowled and got up and walked away.
   "Guess not..." Tyler mumbled
Audree acted unaffected by the situation afterwards. When Mike came up to her she acted like he hasn't even been hanging with her ex-best friend. I'm worried. I prefer when Audree shows she's upset or plotting something. But when she doesn't give you a clue....it makes a girl wonder.

We meet again

So it's been about two, three weeks and we are still in school in London. (thank God) It's been good....up until yesterday. See, yesterday around the middle of the day people were talking about new students. So like a good little girl I asked someone who were the new kids and she said it was a boy and a girl. I was a bit curious about them since I haven't seen them at all, all day. So I ask around and the girl's name is Felicia and the boy is Xavier. I forgot the last names but who cares. Apparently the guys say Felicia is "hot" and Xavier is a "nerd"and "pushover". According to the girls Felicia is a "obvious dying hair freak" with no personality, and Xavier is "cute" and "smart". Well that just sorts everything out. So I just got out of my last class with Jasmine and we were heading to the garden to meet the others to hang out ('cause that's what the cool teens do)
   "Ugh, I hate him. He always holds us back longer than he's supposed to!" complained Jasmine who was talking about our last teacher
   "I know. I thought I was going to die." I agreed
   "Who gives homework on the weekends anyway?!"
   "Are you going to do it?"
   "Pfff, no."
   "Jasmine!"
   "Sssh! Don't let anyone hear you!"
   "No one's around."
We heard noises from the garden. It sounded like shouting and someone yelped out in pain.
   "What the-"
I stopped Jasmine before she could finish the sentence and ran. I dragged her with me until we reached the garden. There in the middle was Philip, Audree, Mike and Tony fighting with....some red head girl and her friend....some blond kid....*gasp* It was Felicia and Xavier!...No...no. Audree grabbed Felicia's hair pulling her back and I saw her face all too clearly.....it was Grace....Grace! Ex-girlfriend of Mike and ex-friend of Audree, the traitor of us all!
Jasmine and I ran to them.
   "Stop!" I shouted
Philip was trying to separate Audree from Grace, Tony, Mike and Xavier were fist fighting. It was so bad I already saw blood coming down from Xavier's nose as he lied on the ground trying to push Mike off him while Tony seemed to be trying to choke him!
   "Stop!" I shouted trying to pull Mike off of Xavier. "Let him go Mike!"
He said something but I couldn't make it out over Grace's screaming. Jasmine and Philip were now holding Audree away from Grace. She layed on the floor looking at Audree with horror.
   "Mike stop!" I yelled pulling hard
   "Okay Mike he's had enough." said Tony whose cheek was bruised and had now let go of his share of Xavier
Mike was choking down hard on Xavier. Xavier's face was red...purple!
   "Noooo!" Grace screamed
Mike's face trickled with sweat but he didn't stop. Everyone was soon around trying to get Mike off him but Mike is the biggest and the strongest.
   "Mike its okay!" Audree said panting holding his arm "Let go."
Grace fell to her knees and pounded on Mike's back crying.
   "Mike stop it! Stop it! Stop it! MIKE!"
Mike's eyes widened and he looked like he just woke up from a day dream. He released his grip on Xavier's neck. Xavier took a deep breath in and then pasted out. Grace wept over him as Mike moved away. He looked at Xavier one last time realizing what he had done...then looked at Grace who looked up at him with eyes as red as her newly dyed hair. Then she turned away and tried to wake up Xavier whose color was returning to normal, slowly.
   "Tyler," she whispered "Tyler please get up."
Mike turned and ran before anyone could stop him, except Audree.
   "Mike! Wait!" but he kept running
Audree turned back to Grace who was still on the ground with Xavier...or Tyler. I'm guessing Xavier was his false name...kinda nerdy. Anyway Audree looked down at Grace with eyes full of tears.
   "Why did you come back?"
Grace looked up at her and wiped a tear away from one eye. "I told you." she said "We came to help you."
   "What?" I asked surprised, apparently I missed a lot "What are you talking about?"
   "We don't need your help." Jasmine crossed her arms
Grace looked down at Xav-Tyler I mean. "I'll tell you if you help me get him to the nurse."
We looked at her like *beep* no! More tears came down her face.
   "Please! Just help me and I'll tell you everything you want to know! I'm not going to turn you in! There after me to!"
   "What?" said Tony
   "Like I said. I'll tell you everything."
We looked at each other. We weren't going to trust her. In fact we were going to ditch this school tonight without her knowing to get away from her. But we weren't going to leave that boy there with no one to help him.
   "We need to take him to the dorm." said Philip checking his vitals "He's completely fine. He just needs to recooperate on his own, but we need to have water ready for him when he wakes."
We carried him to his dorm and layed him on the bed.
   "Why can't we take him to the nurse?" asked Grace standing over Tyler wiping the rest of her tears.
   "They'll ask too many questions." Philip answered "To much attention for us."
Audree stood at the door, arms crossed and ready to go at any moment. I knew she was worried about Mike. Everyone was.
   "Just stay with him until he wakes and make sure he drinks a lot of water and that he rests."
 said Philip turning to leave
   "Wait!" Grace called to him "You guys can trust me now. I'm on your side!"
We stood there unsure of what to say or think. Audree opened the door.
   "We will never trust you." and then she left rushing out. We all followed somberly.
When we got to the dorm Audree stormed in and started packing clothes.
   "Wait! Where do you think you're going?" asked Philip
She turned to him and rolled her eyes "I thought we agreed that we were leaving. Tonight."
   "There's no rush." said Philip sitting on the bed
   "Whoa, I'm with her." said Tony "We need to leave now, otherwise Grace is gonna come in here with machine guns with all her buddies."
   "I want to find out what she's up to exactly. She wouldn't have come back just because."
   "Obviously she came back to trick us, which didn't work and now she's gonna call for back up! We need to leave now." said Audree with hand motions and everything
Philip sighed. "She's not going to call for back up."
    "How do you know?" Jasmine asked
Philip sighed like it was obvious "She just went through an emotional break down. And I think she might be telling the truth."
   "Key word: Might." mocked Audree
"We will leave tomorrow night. So that I can fill out paper work in the office quietly that way we don't end up on T.V. as missing kids. Then everyone will be on the look for us."
We stood there. He was right. But nobody wanted to admit it first.
   "I'm okay with it." Jasmine said "Jamie?"
I could not believe she put me in the spot like that. My decision would determine everything. If I agreed Tony would agree too. (lets face it, the boy would do anything I say, did you see how quickly he stopped fighting when I came on the scene against it?) And if he agreed then Mike would do it anyway just to leave sooner. And Audree would have wait with us. I sighed and answered.
   "Lets go with Philip's plan."
Tony crossed his arms and nodded, "Yeah, that's what I was gonna say."
We looked at him like "shut up". Audree stormed out of the room. We all tried to relax knowing she would be back with Mike. As it got later the boys left to their dorm. Jasmine and I sat around worrying about Mike and Audree. Finally Jasmine fell asleep and I was left waiting. Then when I was about to give up and go to sleep Audree slipped inside and melted inside the room, closing the door behind her. I got up and sat next to her. We said nothing for a while then she spoke.
   "I couldn't find Mike, anywhere."
   "I know he's okay." I comforted "He just needs some time alone."
   "He could have killed that boy you know." she said burring her face in her knees
   "I know. That's why I had to stop him."
A moment passed.
   "I know I must be horrible for saying this, but...." Audree thought "I'm glad he let out his anger."
I looked at her skeptically.
   "I know!" she said in defeat "But, he just went back to being emotionless and depressed and...not himself. I hate seeing him like that."
   "He just just his parents." I explained "And I'm sure he's still traumatized about Gr-" Audree looked at me before I finished and I stopped.
She understood. We sat there. Sat there dreading for what might come tomorrow.

Ello' Govner!

*takes a deep breath in and out* Okay, it was difficult getting past security on the airport. Tony got us new fake I.D's and we were able to get a flight....to....ready for this?......London! :D So maybe we aren't to happy these days. We lost our guardians/parents, and I still have no idea where my mom is. :\ I miss her a lot. So when we got to London Philip suggested we go back into hiding with our I.D's and change our looks So....that's what we did. *cries* I got bangs! D': I never liked bangs! I had to cut my hair to my shoulders and get bangs. :\ well it's not as crazy as Jasmine. *shaking my head* Lord have mercy. I tried to take her out of it at the salon but it's impossible to change Jasmine's mind.
 Jamie: Jasmine why not do this hair style. It's pretty! :)
 Jasmine: Oooo! I want neon colors! XD
 Jamie: No, just get it cut short and with side bangs. :\
 Jasmine: I already have side bangs! >:\
 Jamie: Uh, get them to the left this time.....? :}
So Jasmine got her hair cut to her chin and all shaggy, and choppy like then she dyed some streaks if her hair neon colors! Red, Pink, Dark Blue, Green, and Purple. I'll admit she looks completely different. No one will recognize her now. *rolls eyes* Audree got long, weave and had it straightened. So her hair looks fuller and longer. Mike (with hardly any hair) now wears hats and big nerd shaped glasses. Philip got his hair trimmed and got blond streaks done in the front. And....Tony....he....*sniffles* he.....*cries* he cut his hair off! D: I mean hes not bald. He has to normal nice short cut of a guy but....his long, chin length locks are gone. *falls on knees* All gone.....But he does look like a completely different person. So we know these changes will keep us hidden for some time.
Of course it took us some time to get use to our new names. Mine's Crystal. I can't say last names for safety reasons....although I told you a lot anyway. Jasmine's is Natasha, Audree is now Bonnie, Mike is Alex, Philip is Ryan, and Tony is Zane. Our first day at school that we got into (which is a academy with dorms, uniforms and everything) we messed up big time.
-in class-
 Philip: Psst! Jasmine!
 Jasmine: *ignoring*
 Philip: Jasmine!
 Jasmine: *sighs*
 Philip: Jasmine!
 Jasmine: It's Natasha!
 Philip: Can I use your eraser?......Natasha?
-in the hallway-
 Tony: Do you who looks hot?
 School kid: Who?
 Tony: Jamie
 School kid: Who??
 Tony: Her. *points at Jamie*
 School kid: I thought her name was Crystal...
 Tony: Uh, It is! O.o
 School kid: But you said-
 Tony: Look food! *runs away*
-in class-
 Teacher: *calling roll* Crystal?
 Jamie: *tapping pencil*
 Teacher: Crystal?
 Jamie: *looking around*
 Teacher: No Crystal?
 Jamie: *day dreaming*
 Teacher: Going once...going twice....
 Jamie: *mumbles* who ever Crystal is needs to hurry and raise her hand, gosh.
 Jasmine: *whisperers* Jamie that's you!
 Jamie: O.O Oh! Here!
The second day we made it obvious we had issues.
-in class-
 Teacher: Crystal?
 Jamie: That's me! Crystal! Heh heh, no one else but me ma'am.
-outside-
 Tony: Hello, Crystal, having a nice day?
 Jamie: Why yes Zane. I am.
-in hallway-
 Mike: Bonnie, do you want to hang out later?
 Audree: I would love to, Alex.
-in the cafeteria-
 Jamie: Give me my gummies, Natasha. >:[
 Jasmine: Give me my pudding, Crystal. >:[
 Jamie: I don't have your pudding, Natasha >:[
 Tony: *eating pudding*
 Jasmine: I left it right next to you and now its gone!.....Crystal.
 Jamie: I still don't have it....Natasha.
 Jasmine: Your lieing!...Crystal!
 Tony: *finishes pudding*.............where did I get this? :o
So you see everything is going smoothly now. We keep to ourselves mostly so we don't get known to much. Hope this school last longer than the last.
