*I'm just gonna say she said yes hope that's okay, I'm just gonna drop myself in here*

Me and Chris danced together to stairway to heaven. I vaguely noticed the Blondie fall over but I wasn't that worried it wasn't my problem. "You know Chris you really shouldn't do drugs", Chris sighed and pulled her self away "god you sound just like my mum, god I'm at a dance with goody too shoes" she laughed at her own mortality . I'd be avoiding the conversation for the whole dance for this reason. "piss off I am not and I'll prove it, their a really nice ridge that looks out across the Forrest with a nice view of the sunset..".
"what the sunset come on"
"you'd be surprised how nice it looks when your high". Chris smiled a guilty smile "now your talking, just one problem I don't have a car and you don't have a car". I smiled a almost May smile now " Matt has a car and he'll forgive me, eventually".

ten minutes later and we were cruising down the road to the ridge at 80mph. Hot wiring cars was the only useful thing I had ever learnt from my no good brother. When we got their I said I needed a pee I didn't but I needed to call Matt so he wouldn't call the cops. The phone rang three times before Matt picked up.

Ryan~~

I heard Matt's reaction.

"what you took my car" he screamed into the phone.

"who took your car" i asked him.

"Chris" he said plainly.

"if you want i can give you lift to get it from them." i said.

"how don;t have a car."

"yes but Tony does, and he lent it to me" i said holding the keys up proudly.

Tony worked to keep people back so May could have some room. Her Italian friend, he assumed because he saw them talking like old friends, worked on keeping her conscious. Tony thanked god when Alyse came back with the nurse. They pushed there way through the crowd and the nurse knelt down, "I need to get her out of here and to the infirmary."

Tony nodded at turned to the Italian, "Lift her onto my back, I'll carry her." He took off his jacket and mask and handed them to Alyse. Once she was on his back they made it the infirmary with no problems. Setting her down on a bed he asked, "Any idea what happened?"

Everyone shook their heads no, but the nurse examined her and had an answer, "Alcohol. She's had too much top drink."

"Alcohol, where would she get that?" Alyse asked a little surprised.

Tony thought a moment, "I've heard of jokes spiking drinks. Usually to hot blonde's. May brought out her natural hair color and the jokes must have wanted to get her drunk so she'd do anything." He clenched his fist, "People like that are scumbags no matter what way you slice it."

The Italian nodded and took a seat next to her. The nurse sighed, "We'll keep her hear just in case, though nothing should go wrong."

Tony nodded and turned to May's friend, "I didn't catch your name?"

"Revvie."

"Revvie, I'm Tony, this is Alyse." he nodded in return and changed his attention back to May. Tony sighed and scratched his head, "Not really the dance I had in mind but," He looked at Alyse, "Would you like to take a walk with me? I'm a little riled up and could use some fresh air."

Alyse~

Alyse had lost her headache and stomach ache. Turns out it was just her nerves about her date with Tony... and stressing over her dad. She accepted his offer and followed him out, her mask off.

She was feeling a bit cold now. She shivered. Then she started coughing. She stopped and pressed her hand against a tree. There was alot of phlegm in her throat. "Do you want to stop?"

Through coughing Alyse shook her head. "No, no, just a tickle in my throat that's all!" Cough, cough. The continued walking. Alyse still coughed some more.

This isn't any serious medical condition, okay? You'll find out soon what's wrong.

*Hey guys! Are you still accepting new members? Not like I need another storybook to get addicted to, but I thought it would be cool if I could create a "new girl" or something. lol*

Tony listened as she coughed and sighed, "Come on," he lead her over to a bench and sat her down, him next to her. He noticed she seemed cold and took his jacket off one more time and laid it over her sholders, "If you can hold back the 'nothing serious cough,' I'd like to know why you can't try out." He rubbed her back a moment and drew her close to keep her warm.

(Not much, but it will keep the story moving. I got homework, will be back on around 7:00 or 8:00 US Atlantic Time.)

Alyse~

"No thank you," Alyse took the jacket from her shoulders and gave it back to him. "I'd rather me be cold than you."

She gazed up at the sky for a few moments. She could still hear the blaring music from the dance. Most of all, at that moment, she wanted to beat up those idiot jocks who had hurt May. She contemplated just storming off to get her spikes and chuck them at their big fat heads, but Tony was still waiting.

"Its not a big deal, like everything else in my life," She coughed after a drawn-out sigh. "I probably will end up trying out anyways, even if my dad doesn't want me to."

I should probably be studying too, but I'm not.... And if you get accepted JC, you can be Alyse's room mate! Two females haven't posted in a very long time. Unless Ridersofdamar lets you join, maybe you could take one of them!

I was dancing with Chad, my heart racing again; I was living what it seemed like a dream.
Some people joined around a spot and gasps were head. I saw Alyse and Tony.
"May?..."
My hands slipped of Chad, and I ran to through the crowd. May, I mean April, was lying on the floor, with some Italian dude talkin' to her. Tony leaded her to our room and laid her on her bed.
"May?! May?"" I screamed over and over.
The Italian cleared the room and the people got out.
"Who are you?", he asked me.
"I'm... M-maria. May's roommate. Who are you?"
"I'm Revvie"
I stared at him blankly, but my attention got distracted to a heavy breathing on the bed. may was sleeping. I went out, and left her with Revvie. they seemed like old friends.
i walked the hall and knocked on Chad's room.
He opened the door.
"I'm so sorry. May passed out and I had to see how she was". Tears filled my eyes. May really scared the hell out of me.

Chad~

"It's ok," I said. I pulled her into my arms and lightly wiped away her tears with my sleeve. I know you had to go see to her."

"I was just so scared."

"I know, is she ok now." I asked.

"Yes she's asleep now." She said.

I couldn't stand seeing her so distraught. It was pulling a my heart. I had to cheer he up. ran inside and turned on my stereo and shifted threw the channels until I found the appropriate channel.

"Our last slow dance was interrupted, would you want to finish our dance."

MATT

I was pissed that they stole the car.

I was about to accept Ryand offer of Tony's car but then I saw May. All thoughts of the car were immediately thrwon out the window. I jumped off the stage and ran to May. I saw all of our friends clustered around her, but I was too busy to recognize faces.

I did a one over af her and decided she was fine, she had probably just drank to much.

I sighed and stepped back, giving the nurse some room to breathe.

When they took her to the nurse's office I didn't follow even though I really wanted to. I noticed that I was hot so I loosened my tie a little more and took off my mask. Ryan hopped off the stage and walked over.

"What happened?"

"May had a little too much to drink. Someone spiked her punch."

"D*** that sucks."

"Yeah... come on, lets go get my car."

"Right."

We left the auditorium and hopped in Tony's car. I drove, but not as fast as usual. It wasn't my car and I didn't want to wreck it.

*Yeah we are accepting new members*

**********************************************

Sweat nearly soaked my shirt. It didn't help that the pilot or whoever controls the plane didn't have "air conditioning" in their mental vocabulary. What a dolt. Though, my father was a bigger dolt. He actually thought that sending me off to some boarding school would actually help me. It would be the same as always. Just a little farther away. I would come and everyone would leave me be. End of story.

Now, I was in a taxi, riding to school in the middle of the year in the middle of the night. The taxi driver drove like a maniac. I could drive better than him. Though, the traffic was light so I wasn't too worried. Death by car accident doesn't scare me a bit. Now that I think of it, I don't think anything scares me.

I've been in the taxi for awhile. Sitting in the back seat, suffocating with all this luggage. I imagined what an idiot I was going to look like, going back to the curb of the street a million times to carry it all up to my room. If anyone actually looked at me. I have a way of being invisible. Dad couldn't come since he's too busy. And I doubt that anyone at boarding school will help me out. As I said, its going to be just like all the other ones.

The taxi came to a stop. I guess I was in so much of a daydream as always, that I didn't see that we were here. A large building was right outside the window. "Behold the mighty dorms." I muttered.

"We have arrived." the taxi driver said in annoyance.

I muttered something under my breath, and slowly got out on purpose. The taxi driver got out of the car himself and started hauling some of my luggage out of the car with me. He was obviously in a hurry and I was not helping. Good.

As he was about to touch the holy black case, I nearly chopped his arm off my my hand.
"That is my guitar, thank you. No touchie." I said, shoving my way in front of him to grab my guitar. My most prized possesion.

"Thanks. Here's the dough." I said, handing the man some money. And at that, the man got back in the car, and drove off.

I was left alone in the nighttime on a campus I didn't know with about a million suitcases and bags filled with heavy stuff. How wonderful. I put my hand in my pocket and fished around to the paper that told me my room number.

Tony put his jacket back on and thought a moment, "Dull life," he whispered.

Alyse turned to him, "Did you say something?"

"It's funny, you said everything in your life isn't very important and I used to feel the same way." He paused a moment and looked at her. He could tell she was starting to get cold and that she seemed sad. I'm not doing a good job at cheering her up. "Well, the nights still young, and it's too early to be thinking about such depressing matters." He stretched a bit as he stood up, "What or where do you want to go?"

She was about to answer him, but his cell rang and he asked her to hold onto her thought. Answering it it was Ryan, "Hey Tony, Matt and I have your car. Chris stole his, so we're on our way to get it back."

"Alright, let me know when you got it." He hung up his phone and smiled, "Now we can do or go where ever you want as long as it doesn't require my car."

*Can someone make their characters go back over to the dorms, for me? Oh yeah, and is everyone paired up (boy-girl I mean) already?*

Alyse~

Alyse chuckled. "Okay." Cough-cough. "I'm not really sure what I want to so right now. I've never been a partier, but we could go back down...." She coughed again. It sounded hoarse. Almost like a seal's bark. Bronchitis. She had bronchitis. She knew a student had it in her music class... looks like she'd gotten it to. She must be prone to it.

"I could care less. I would even go for a run, if you wanted. You wouldn't wanna wreck your suit, right? I could care less about this dress!" Alyse motioned to the dress she was wearing. "But, what do you want to do. It doesn't matter making me happy. You asked me out. I'll be happy doing anything!"

She tried to give him a convincing grin, but she really just wanted to lie down.

Boring, I know, I know.

*JC: You can be Alyse's dorm mate, okay? That way you can meet up with her. She'll probably end up going back there sometime anyways, seeing as we just discovered she has Bronchitis! As for couples, here's the ones I know:

Chad and Maria,
Tony and Alyse,
Now... I'm not sure about May and Matt, but whatever,
And apparently, Fred (Right?) And 'Cutter' (Chris) but Chris's person doesn't write.
I think that Ryan, and Facengine's dude are still available, if I'm wrong, correct me please!*
