Harmony High

Chris

When I woke up, I was in a queen bed under pink and white covers. The room was as large as my family room, and there's all this expensive stuff; a flat screen, stereo, mini fridge, a walk-in closet loaded with clothes. For a second a panic, not sure where the hell I am. Then I remembered passing out at the party because of some mystery drug in my drink. I fall back between the covers an roll over, only to bump into something warm. Squinting in the darkness, I realised it was Avery!

"Oh shit," I murmured, panicking again.

Did we have sex? I'd never admit it to the guys, but I was still a virgin and I really wanted my first time to be special. Being too drunk/ high to remember it, even if it was with a cool girl like Ave, was not what I was hoping for. I looked down and breathed a sigh of relief when I realised that I was wearing all of my clothes from last night, including my leather jacket and shoes. Avery stirred a minute before waking up.

"Oh, good morning Chris!" she yawned, stretching. She was in a T-shirt and black shorts.

"Morning," I said. "What happened last night?"

"You passed out and we carried you up to my room. Then I shut down the party," she said, getting out of bed. "You snore and talk in your sleep, you know."

I blushed a bit and laughed. "Sorry. Do you know what time it is?"

"About 6:15," she said, pointing to a clock on her dresser.

"Oh. Well, thanks for taking care of me," I said. "I appreciate it."

She shook her head. "No problem. Just be careful where you set your drink next time."

I nodded and headed out of her room, going downstairs and into the living room to find my phone. It was mashed between the seat cushions. Opening it, i saw that I had several missed phone calls and I had been spammed with messages. Remembering my mom, I checked through them all, but she hadn't called. She must've gone to bed early and assumed that I was coming home soon. A lot of them were from Lena and Josie though. I called Lena on my way out. She answered after two rings.

"Chris! Josie told me what happened, are you okay?" she said, her voice full of panic.

"I'm fine, I just slept it off," I said calmly.

"Good. What did you drink?"

"It was a Tornado, but someone slipped something in it," I said, starting up my car. "Listen, I'm heading home now to change and shower, so I'll talk to you when I'm there."

Luna

"How could I be so stupid?!" I shout at myself.

"letting someone's face who I didn't see grope me like some whore?"

There's nothing to be ashamed about a voice whispered in my ear.

I lay on my bed and think about it. No, I think. There's no excuse for what I did. It was nothing but a bit of harmless fun the voice tells me.

"Shut up." I tell the voice as get out of bed and begin to pace.

What's wrong,Luna? the voice taunts. It was just a little fun. At least you didn't fuck him!

"Shut up!" I shout.

I would've jumped on it hard. Why didn't you?

"I said shut up!" All I wanted to do was pull my hair out.

Lighten up Luna! Lighten up Luna! Lighten up Luna! The screexhed in my head over and over again. I dropped to my knees.

"Shut up! Shut up!" I screamed.

I banged my hands against my trying to get some sense of relief. The voices stopped, but I didn't know for how long. I didn't know for how long, and I didn't plan on waiting to find out. I grapped a couple of my Summer's Eve wipes to clean myself up with instead of taking a shower. I put on a sports bra and a pair of my work out shorts before grabbing my bag of weapons and heading for the woods. I walked to the spot where i'd set up my fighting equipment set up and pulled out my Sai before plugging my Ipod up and turning it on, and let myself get carried away by thwe volient beat of the music.

Spoiler

Sorry I was late with my post. I'm in school.

Jane Wills

Allen like bolted out of the bed once these random as people barged in on us. God, can't people have some privacy?

I followed after, slipping my clothes back on. He was yelling at this pretty girl who was sobbing. Some dude was yelling at Allen. Whoa. Too much drama. They should chill.

With my clothes back on, I noticed everyone was leaving. Party is over damn. I grabbed a beer from the bar myself and left.

"Hey, need a ride?" It was Emmett.

My heart raced. I couldn't believe that he was here.

"No, I'm fine." I slurred.

He cringed, a bit disgusted by me. The fuck? Why?

"Hey! Why'd you make that f-a-ace?"

"I am driving you home," he said sternly, his chocolaty eyes glaring at me.

"Fine, fine. Whatever. I'm fine."

William Franco

I woke up to the sound of my ringtone.

"'Ello?" I said, yawning.

"Hey..." It was Avery.

"Hey beautiful, how are you?"

Sitting up, I looked out my window remembering that we had just kissed last night at her party.

"Good, better than Chris." she laughed.

"He's alright though, right?"

"Yeah, yeah. As healthy as a horse."

"Good to know,"

I jumped out of my bed, putting the phone between my neck and my shoulder. Making my bed, I threw the brown comforter over it neatly. I walked to the bathroom to get ready for school.

"Wanna go eat some breakfast? On me," I said, smiling.

"Uh, yeah. That would be nice."

"I'll come to your house in ten."

Avery

"OMG OMG OMG" I screech "He's coming over!" I jump around and do a silly dance around my room, my elated mood trumping the hate i feel for Allen. I clean up my bed, my room, then call the maid service to hurry the hell up before my parents get home. I run downstairs and find Chris on the phone.

"Ok so theres breakfast around the kitchen you've just gotta look for it. And um no we did not have sex last night if you were wondering. Oh and if you want you can just shower here, you like reek of vomit and liquor." I tell him rushing around the kitchen to straighten up for Will.

"Nah thats cool. All my clothes are at my house anyways." He says promptly, getting a banana while looking for his keys.

" Their in my room" I say addressing his keys " And hey just opening up the offer." I say shrugging my shoulders.

He smiles at me before makng his way towards the front door. I yell at him to leave it partly open since I have company coming over. At that he raises his eyebrows before walking out and doing as I asked. I leave a note for Will saying that i'm taking a shower and that he can just wait downstairs for me. I run back up and look through my closet for something cute to wear. I decide on a cute pair of really really REALLY short shorts and a suggestive tank top that shows my over eager boobs to there breaking point. I jump inside of my shower and let the warm water sprinkle over me while I think.

I can't believe that Allen did that. I mean he led me to think that we'd have a nice adorable future all planned out. And than he wants to sleep around with that dumb, drunk, ho. I mean yeah, its pretty hard not to fall for Allens charm. I mean I definitely did. I shake my head and my now curly hair slaps me in the face. I scrub everything and just sit there simmering. But whats the point of staying mad when its in the past.

Then there's Will. Handsome, sexy, down to earth Will. My old best friend. My new boyfriend. I smile in pure happiness. Oh Will what you do to me. That kiss made me feel things, not only sexual things, but something deep and personal. I just hope that things go well with this relationship, because I can already feel myself falling for him. And since Allen has already got his other little ho bag, he won't even care about me and Will. That piece of shit.

And then lastly theres that girl. Jane I think her name is. The old me would demand instant social lock out. Instant enemies in both the private school and our school and then no more boyfriends or friends. I smile. But i've changed since talking to Will again. If she leaves me alone, I'll leave her alone.

I shut off the shower and get out. I do all of my lotioning and crap and then step out into my room and open my eyes wide in surprise.

" W-what are you doing up here?" I stutter while trying to cover my naked body.

Spoiler

now this can be anybody, and if no one wants to take the spot then i'll just say that it's Avery's friend Linnie or something.

Spoiler

Lol, Desti. xDD

Lena

Thank god for Chris! I mean, he's a really nice friend that I seem to like most, even more than Vivienne. An understanding person, a loving attitude and everything a girl could wish a boy could be. People not like Allen. That dude better fucking apologize to Avery or I'm getting him. I sure am.

My phone vibrates right in the morning, and I stretch out to get it. Laying down the bed, I look at the screen and my eyes widen. I jump in, to take the call.

"Chris! Josie told me what happened, are you okay?" I exclaimed, panicking.

"I'm fine, I just slept it off," he said, calmly.

"Good. What did you drink?" I ask, worried.

"It was a Tornado, but someone slipped something in it. Listen, I'm heading home now to change and shower, so I'll talk to you when I'm there."

"Oh, okay. I'll call you later then. Hey, do you want to go somewhere for breakfast?"

"Yeah, sure. I'm hungry as hell." Chris says, chuckling.

I laugh. "Awesome. We could call over Avery and Will too." I say.

"The more, the merrier. 'Kay, I gotta go. I'm driving. See you soon."

"Bye." I say, slamming the cover back. God, I just love that guy. But he seems more interested in Josie maybe because both of them have lots of things in common. Both being athletic.

I decide to visit Avery and ask her to come over with us. I run downstairs and get my car. I start up the engine, fast and zoom off to her place. Me and Avery had been kind of good friends when we were in our middle school. Just kind of lost touch, I guess. And this would be a great timing to get back. I smiled, as I got out of the car as I had reached her house.

I rang the doorbell, and one of the maids opened it. She looked at me with a smile, and I entered.

"Hi, can I talk to Ave?" I ask her.

"She's upstairs." she says.

"Thanks." I say, and make my way to her room upstairs. Opening the door, I stand there, looking for her.

She's not here. I frown but I hear the bathroom door soon clicking open, and I see her come out...

Naked.

I know! Out of all the things!

I shrieked and she looked at me, with her eyes wide open. "W-What are you doing up here?" she shutters, getting the towel to wrap herself.

"Oh, god!" I say, reaching for another towel that was on the bed, and throw it over to her. She catches it, and soon cover ups.

"Lena!" Ave says in surprise.

"Dude. Watch it, man. You scared me there." I said, smiling.

"Oh, yeah? Imagine coming out of the bathroom and seeing a body standing in front of you and you're naked." she jokes, and we laugh.

"Total embarrassment." I chuckle.

Chris

I crept inside, noticing that everyone was still asleep. I dashed upstairs and immediately got in the shower, feeling my muscles relax from the not stream of water. I sighed with contentment, leaning against the wall and letting the water slide down my back. I washed up, a little slower than usual though. I couldn't get my mind off Lena and Josie. They were both great girls, but for different reasons. I liked how daring and bold Lena was, but I also liked how easy going and athletic Josie was. I'd never had feelings for two girls, and just thinking about it made my head spin.

I got out of the shower and wrapped a towel around my waist, taking my time to find fresh clothes. It was amazing how much free time I had in the morning. Then I remembered that I was supposed to be at swim team an hour ago. Shit! Ah well, coach will yell at me tomorrow. Too late to go now. I put on a pair of stone washed jeans and a 'The Who' T-shirt and started to head out the door when Will calls me.

"Hey Will," I whispered, quietly shutting the door behind me so my family doesn't wake up.

"Hey, so I guess you and Lena are joining Ave and I for breakfast," he chuckled. "Some kind of double date?"

"Double date?" I stammered. Wait a minute... "Did something happen between you and Avery?"

He laughed, and I could tell he was in a good mood. "I asked her to be my girlfriend, and she accepted."

"That's cool man," I said, a little surprised that it happened so suddenly. "Last night?"

"Yeah." I could tell he was happy just from the sound of his voice.

"Congrats. So where are we meeting for breakfast?" I asked, starting my car.

"The diner on Lexington," he said. "I'm on my way right now, and Ave and Lena are going together."

"Alright, I'll be there in five. See ya later."

"Bye."

When I pulled into the little diner, Will was already out front waiting.

"The girls aren't here yet," he said as I got out of my car. "They just left so they should be here soon."

I nodded and stood next to him. "Avery, huh? Nice dude." I gave him a low five. "I though she was with Allen though?"

He shook his head. "Not anymore. Their little "thing" is over, especially after she caught him in her bed with another girl."

I gave a low whistle. "Ouch. That sucks. At least you won't do that to her," I said.

"Oh God no," he said, a smirk on his face. "I care about her too much."

"Mmhmm."

There was a pause, before Will playfully dug me in the ribs and walled his eyebrows at me.

"Lena, huh?" he grinned.

I smiled bitterly. "She's awesome. But here's the thing; I kind of like another girl too."

"Don't tell me it was the tall girl that you were talking to last night," he groaned. I didn't answer. "Ah man Chris, I feel bad for you."

"Wait, why?" I asked a little puzzled.

"Choosing between girls isn't easy," he sighed.

"I know. I just wish I only liked one of them," I muttered. "I don't even know if either of them like me, but I'm still conflicted."

Just then the girls pulled up, and each gave us hugs before we went inside. The diner was surprisingly, but pleasantly, empty. We took a booth, Will sitting next to Avery and Lena sitting bext to me. A young blonde girl named Trudy took our orders.

Lena ordered first, but I was too distracted by the way her hair looked. It seemed so soft and shiny, and it framed her face beautifully. I was so distracted, I almost didn't notice when the waitress asked me for my order.

"Oh, uh, I'll have the spinach and mushroom omlet and a glass of orange juice, please," I said, my stomach growling.

"Eww," she whispered in my ear as Will and Avery ordered. "That's going to give you bad breath!"

The next morning, while my family was sleeping I shoved my wrist brace into my pocket. While I was walking to school I pulled it out and put it on. When I get two blocks down to Lauren and Matt's street, they just look at me. "You look like crap!" Matt exclaims. "What happened!?" Lauren asks with concern. I tell them everything, even about the stuff at home, which I would tell no one else. We walk to school and find t strange that on the second day of school, there is another assembly. We enter the auditorium early to get good seats, and watch everyone else come in. When it starts, the principal stands there, this isn't much of an assembly, it's a lecture, a lecture about the rivalry between Harmony High and the private school. How things can get out of hand and we should all be kind to one another. That will never happen.

When everyone is dismissed to class, a few people I don't even know ask about my wrist and why I'm limping, in answer to which I just walk away. We get to drama and sit in the front (of course) when Luna runs in and says she needs to talk to me. Well that can't be good, I barely even know this girl.

Avery

I'm looking in my full body mirror from side to side than look at Lena.

"Soooo how do i look?" I ask, pursing my lips in the mirror.

" Oh you know..." she says while looking through my cosmopolitan magazine " your usual Ave self. You know, your prostitute look." She says. I bend over cracking up while she laughs to herself still engrossed in the magazine.

"So...you and Chris?" I ask after calming down a bit.

"Yeah I really like him...but I think that he likes Josie.'' she said quietly.

" Hey Len you remember when it was only me, you, and Will back in middle school and you came to me while i was doing that stupid diet and told me that you had a huuuuge crush on that guy Chase. And I was like, go for him girl, and you were all, nooo he won't like me, and in the end he had like the biggest crush on you but by the time he finally told you, you were all over Ty." I tell the story while applying my mascara.

" Yeah but this isn't one of those situations. I know that he like Josie and I mean he gives me signs that he may like me but... I just don't wanna get my hopes up." Lena says, her shoulders slumping.

"Girl, your gorgeous" I say, sucking my teeth " much prettier than me by a long shot." I say.

" Avery don't say that you know its no-" she begins saying but I cut her off.

" Len you deserve to be happy, so go for what you want dude." I say.

"Okay. You know what I will. Thanks Ave." She says grinning and getting off my bed. She gives me a hug and I return it.

"Can we take my car over there though. No offense but I hate yours. It's to big." I say while slipping on a pair of denim striped pumps that match my tank top.

"Your car barely has enough room to breath in!" she exclaims.

" Yeah but its cute." i say shrugging than giggling.

I look at my curly hair in the mirror and shrug. My curls tumble down to my tiny waist and I contemplate putting them in a ponytail but then decide against it. I put some mango scented anti-frizz organic crap and then a striped head band to complete the look. I can't wait to see Will's face. I haven't left my hair like this in years. Since we used to hangout. And my uber short shorts show off my pretty darkish caramel legs, and knowing that Will is a legs guy this will totally drive him wild. My face turns into a devious smile as I consider what to do with him while he's wild like that.

Lena and I end up taking her car and the ride is spent gossiping and talking about her recent badass exploitations and suddenly it doesn't feel like years since we've spoken like this. It feels like it was just yesterday we were hanging around my room dancing like idiots and screaming to the top of our lungs the new Taylor Swift song that had come on. I smile at the memory and get ready to see Will. I primp my hair, apply some more lip gloss, and just grin like an idiot while Lena struggles to parallel park which makes me laugh. And thats when I see Will standing there, his hair disheveled adorably, his eyes sparkling as he laughs at whatever Chris just said. I jump out of the car as soon as Lena parks and launch myself at him. He smiles down at me and I give him a quick peck before turning to see Lena hug Chris, and I can suddenly see them together, the cutest couple EVER.

We walk inside and sit inside of our booth then while the little blonde girl scampers off to make our order. I hear what Lena whispers at Chris and then I address the whole table and ask " So what should i do about Allen and Jane?"

I ask because I truly need help getting over it. The rush of feelings I felt last night rush back, and i gasp quietly while feeling the strong urge to cry. I guess Will heard it because he then put his arm around my shoulders and pulls me close.

William Franco

Sometimes I just wish for those days of middle school to be back. Just me, Avery, Lena and Chris. No drama. But I can't go back sadly.

We were at the diner, eating our breakfast. This place was okay, like any diner would be. Small booths with red seats, tacky wallpaper. It was typical. To be honest with you, I loved this place. It felt natural. Like home.

"Just forget about it. It's not worth you time anyway. You moved on already and that whore already has him anyway..." Lena said, chewing on her food.

"I guess so..." Ave sighed.

It must be hard for her, you know, catching her boyfriend cheat on her with some slut. I get it.

"It'll be fine, you've got me! You couldn't get any better than that." I smiled.

She grew a shy smile and hugged my tightly. I loved those hugs from her where everything is warm inside and you imagine that it's only you and her in this dumb ass world.

"That's right!" Chris said. "Unless it's me..."

We burst out laughing and kept on eating.

Jane Wills

Ouch. Ohhh. That hurts.

I woke up and found myself in someone's bed. Not my bed. Looking around the room, everything was a blur to me. Colors running past my eyes and things everywhere. My head was pounding, pounding with pain. A mirgrane.

I was hungover dammit.

Avery

I love my friends. They can take any bad situation and make it a hilarious. I smile to myself as Lena drives us to school. And you know what I'm just going to calmly speak to Jane about it today. And hey, she might not be as much as a ho as i'm making her out to be. And Allen...we can talk to each other like adults also. As soon as i get out of Lena's car Linnie launches her petite self at me just a blond goofball flying at me.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!" she screams at me, her break reeking of gum balls .

and thats when I remember...

AH SHIT IM 17 TODAY!!!!

Spoiler

I don't know what happens to Jane... I wanted someone to pick her up and take care of her for the night and I don't want to continue with this unless someone would want to be that person.

William Franco

It's Avery's birthday today... I almost forgot. I need to get her a great gift. What gift could I get her? She already had a party, last night. So, hmm. Maybe a necklace? Or a painting?

I was in History class, zoning off every few seconds just to think about Ave's beautiful face. It was perfect.

"In World Was II, There were concentration camps set up by Adolf Hitler to imprison innocent people..." Mr. Benson explained.

He was a fun teacher, don't get me wrong, but today I didn't want to listen.

"Hey," someone whispered to me.

Turning my head, I saw Gregg. He put his hair up into a Mohawk today, trying so hard to be his consideration of cool.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"You fightin' Allen today?"

@Nike: Will post as Emmett. Has fantastic interest. Just been busy with MarchingBand last night and Cross Country meet the past few hours. Will soon.

@Sunshine it's alright, take your time. I'm seriously not rushing you. That's why I wrote I'll wait Cross Country and Marching Band? Dude, you're on a roll.

Avery

"So you hooked up with Will last night, eh?" Linnie said wiggling her thin blond eyebrows. Her blue eyes looked at me curiously and sadly at the same time. She couldn't make it to the party she planned for me because she had been grounded last night. She's been complaining about it all morning and I was about to take this welcome distraction.

"Nah, we kissed, we're dating, but we're haven't done that yet." I say with a shy smile. Linnie looks at me strangely and then shakes her head.

" Avery I don't know what this guy is doing to you. Last year you were the mean, bitchy, ice queen I called a best friend. And now your blushing and smiling and giggling," she says " Its a sudden change but if he makes you happy and this is how your gonna be...well i'll be there for you, love." Linnie says with a shy smile herself.

My eyes start tearing up, and before I know it I'm hugging her tightly, her heart shaped face squished between my boobs while she playfully panicked and gasped. When i let her go she's giggling and we hook arms and keep going down the hallway. I kinda wanna spend the day with Linnie so I decide that we should have lunch on this little picnic place behind the school. It's scenic and beautiful during this time with the leaves slowly changing color and the wind ruffling my curly hair while I sit and eat my salad with Linnie.

"So what are you gonna do tonight? Like are you gonna have another party? Or maybe your gonna have a movie night your close friends, including myself of course, or are you going to spend the night with your little Willy Boo?" Linnie asked while she did her toenails.

" Hmmm I don't know. I guess i'll ask everyone. The funny thing is that I know that we can have an even bigger party than yesterday if we tell the right people. But to be honest I want to have something classy, something nice and... I don't know...expensive." I say while looking at my nails "Not something to shove my money in everyones face's but something to show and remind everyone why i'm on top." I say with a wicked smile.

She shook her head for dumb ideas when finally we came up with something.The idea of a lifetime if i do say so myself.And thats exactly when I looked up and found Allen staring down at me.
