"See ya! " crystal waved me,
"see ya!" I laughed. I didn't realize I could make friends with ease, crystal and I got paired to do some class activity in AP calculus, at first I taught she was mean cause she didn't talk to me for about half an hour when we got paired but all of a sudden she just started talking and boom! We're friends. I promised her we'd sit together in languages class so I'm looking forward to it.
Its Monday, the beginning of another week and the beginning of classes and triple homework. We're getting to the end of the term and teachers haven't been taking it easy on us, I really need a break from all this. I've been reading nonstop and trust me this is one of the rare times I've ever worked so hard on something before. I want to be good, no... Scratch that... I need to be good so that my friends see that their efforts haven't been in vein and... I want to impress Liam too.
I went to my English classes and miss Elena was as nice as ever. History classes were next and this time I've trained my self to stay awake so I didn't sleep in history. Mr Neji had us seperating solutes from their solvents and then we tested out sublimation with iodine salts. Finally time came for languages I'm gonna say my best subject so far and then I walked in feeling confident. I saw crystal at the table close to the window so I sat with her. Mrs Gloria had us pronouncing some stuff and I couldn't help but feel someone's stare on me. I turned and saw Nora peeking and I gave her a smile, she smiled back and classes went on.

Meanwhile after classes.
"Hey.. Hey.. Christian wait up! " Nora called
"What's up Nora" christian said
"I can't help but shake the feeling that katie is in trouble" she said
"Trouble??... "He laughed "you say the silliest words"
"Oh do I?, she's hanging out with that girl... Crystal you know she's mean"
" and how do you know that I know that?" He asked amused.
"Stop playing dumb with me, we both saw her yelling at her driver when she first came to this school and she has little minions at her beck and call "
"oh, you mean the Beau " he said
"The beau?? " she asked
"Yes. At least that's what they call themselves. Anyway katie is going to be fine, she's just making new friends or maybe.... " he said staring at her intently
"Or maybe?? " she asked confused
" you're jealous" he said
"Whatt!!... Mee... Jealous??, no way. Tell me why would I be jealous of crystal and Katie's friendship. That's just obsurd" she said but inside her she know that he was right.
"What ever, suit yourself I'm going to get an apple" he said walking down the hallway "but you know I'm right!! " he called
"Get lost christian" she yelled.
"I'm not jealous and I'll prove it, katie just hasn't spent more time with me and Sophia that's it. she's been reading alot and I think we all need a break but what do we do??... Oh! I know. I know just what to do". She said walking down the hallway.

We ate dinner and I decided to go to the library to read, Sophia and Nora accompanied me, the rest wanted to read in their rooms, Nora was biting her lips and she was very restless so I decided to start a conversation
"Nora what's up?, you've been acting quite strange today" I said. She turned and looked at me. Sophia that so engrossed in what she was reading joined the conversation
"Yeah she's right, you were awfully quiet during dinner so I knew something was up. If you have anything in mind you can tell us. right katie?" She said.
"Right! " I said smiling.
"Ok... Its just that we've been working so hard and we rarely have time to hang out anymore, I was thinking maybe if we could do something together you know. Just like the old days" Nora finally said
"Is that what you've been babbling about?." Sophia snickered and slapped Nora's head playfully "you should have said so. I feel the same way too but we don't have time to go to the field and have fun or play volley so I'm out options here"
" yh me too" I said
"Ouch!, if you would just let me finish!. Now, I was thinking of having like a sleepover, a girls night , just us in my room. We'll play games and sing songs we miss, we could play truth or dare and do girl gossip you know. It would be fun guys think about it!! " she said suddenly enthusiastic
"Girls night out eeeh" I mumbled
"That would be great Nora!, wow we're doing a sleepover!!! " sophia said and together they giggled. now I have two hyperactive teens beside me.
" are you sure we're not breaking any rules?" I asked
" Well... technically we are. But we're not the first, girls do it all the time. They pretend that they're asleep when the matron goes around for routine checkup and then when she leaves they go back to their sleepover."
" you know that's dangerous, what if we get caught or maybe the matron decides to come back what do we do? " Sophia asked
"simple, you'll hide under my bed, then after we're done you guys can go back to your room" Nora said
"I don't think anything we say can make her change her mind so let's just agree. Girls night " I said. Besides it could be fun.
"ok if you're in then I'm in" Sophia said
"Well its not a girls night out its a sleepover but you guys aren't sleeping in my room... Ah! Whatever... Girls night out! " she said squealed
"Girls night out!! " we all chorused.
Sheeesh... Some one said behind us. We all giggled and went back to studying...
"Wait! What day?? " I suddenly asked
"Let's do friday, so we can still sleep in on Saturday" Nora said
"Good plan" I said.
The week continued as usual and then friday night came... The matron already checked our rooms and its light out now. I took my pillow in one hand and then my flip-flops in the other. Its really hard to see in the dark and I tripped like twice before I got down to the 2nd floor.
"B12 was it??, yeah what the heck B12... B12...B12... " I mumbled
"B12, found you" I said smiling and congratulating my self. I knocked and there was no answer, slowly Nora opened the door and smiled. I entered and found out that the whole gang was already there.
Yes. We decided to invite more people, kc and maja to be precise. Now I don't know if I should regret this too much pink!!
" guess I'm the last huh. Why is everybody putting on pink?? "
"Well this is a semi sleepover so what do you expect"maja said
"Ok so let's get this thing started" what do we do first?? "Kc asked
"Well let's introduce our self, starting with name, age, country and things you like" Nora said
"Good idea, I'll go first. Katherine parker but call me Kc, I'm 16, I'm from America and I like chocolate, fruit juice, Justin beiber, Ariana grande and you guys too" she giggled
"Hi kc" we chorused
" Maja Anders, 15years old, Norway and I like books and you guys too"
"Hi maja" we chorused
"Nora Halland, 16years of age, Norway also and I like movies + you guys" she said winking
"Hi Nora" we laughed
" Sophia Mason, 16 and a half years old, I'm from Ireland and I love sports, music and you guys " wow Ireland
"Hi Sophie"we chorused
"Finally its my turn, katie Kent, also 16years and I'm from America, I like red and black, stilettos, I like danger, music and then you guys"
"Hi katie"
"Wow two katies, what an honor" Sophia said.
"The pleasure is all ours" we said nonchalantly. "Jinx" Nora said we just laughed.
"Ok... Let's get this show on the road, how about a little truth or dare? "
"Yes!! " finally
"I'll start with you Katie, truth or dare? "
Nora said
"Dare"
"I dare you to go to my window, open it and shout 'the cooks in this school suck'" she giggled
"Easy.. " I stood up and I went to the window opened it and shouted the cooks in this school suck. Closed it and came back
"Wow, you really like danger " Sophie said " but next time Nora, no shouting we could get caught" she warned
"Alright fine.. "Nora said
" Sophie you're next, truth or dare? "I asked
"Truth"
"What's with you and christian? " I said
Heat creaped up to her face "umm... Nothing... we're just friends." She said blushing
"Uhum...and what makes you think I'll believe you? " I teased
" Because... Because.... Ah Fine!! I have a tiny weeny tiny crush on him" finally! the cats out of the bag, but I knew already
"Ohhh... but christian of all people??You've got bad taste Sophie" Maja said
"I know" she sighed
"Wait... Christian the pervert?? " kc asked.
"Yes that christian and don't call him that! " she said shyly "Whatever, maja your next" she said boldly
"Hit me with your best shot" maja said beaming
"Truth or dare?? " Sophie asked
"Truth"
"Ok, why don't you hang out with your age mates? "
" ok, cause they all think they're the boss and I'm scum plus I'm very shy" she said
" What!! You?? Shy?? I refuse to believe that" Nora said. I'm also shocked
"Believe it or not I'm very shy, just because I talk to you guys alot doesn't mean I'm not shy, I just feel much more comfortable with you guys cause I've known some of you before" she said
"Wow! What a revelation "I said "so unto the next one and maja.. " she turned to look at me. "Don't let people treat you like poop, if they come after you, hit them back with brutal force. Not fighting but you know what I mean"
"Yes and thank you" she said genuinely
"Your welcome"
"kc truth or dare? " maja asked
"Dare "
"I dare you to give me those earrings and never collect them back"
"Uhhhh. But they're among my elite, my best earrings "
"Its a dare kc" I said
"Oh I will so get you back for this" she said pulling the earrings, maja smiled a devious smile as she collected the earrings
"Nora your turn, truth or dare? "Kc said
"You're just annoyed " Nora laughed
"Whatever, truth or dare? " she urged
"Fine, dare"
" I dare you to collect my earrings from maja and give them back to me"
"Don't come any closer" maja said.
"I'm sorry but its a dare" Nora said while trying to grab the earrings. Maja was swift enough to dodge her first attack, running around in our small circle kc also joined her and then finally they caught her by that time we we're all on our bellies laughing hard
"What's so funny?" Kc asked, she's exhausted
"That fact that it took more than five minutes for you guys to catch Maja " Sophie said laughing
"It was not up to five minutes "kc glared, Nora had already joined us and was laughing
"Give it up kc, we suck " she said
"Whatever, I got my earrings back and that's what matters" kc said
After all the ruckus had died down we continued playing and then it was my turn
"Truth or dare katie? " Nora asked
"Truth"
"Finally, she says truth! " maja squealed
"I can do truth you know" I said sounding offended
"Ok, tell me or tell us rather what you think about Liam? "
"...Liam?"
"Yes you know who he is" kc said
"Yeah I guess... He's handsome, smart too, very smart, his voice is just..."
"Deep? " Sophie suggested
"Yeah and its also thick and screams masculinity too"
"Gee some one likes him" Nora said
"I do not!! " I said.
"You can't lie, you're blushing" ah curses!
Just then we heard the door close, since when was the door opened??. I rushed out and heard footsteps down the hall
"Quick! Give me a flash light" I yelled
"What's going on? " kc asked handing me the flashlight. I dashed out but it was too late. The culprit already excaped.
I came back to the room feeling disappointed
"Did you see anyone katie"
"I didn't " but I was in deep thought, what happened just now?
The others became slightly worried as Katie pursed her lips, when she drew a ragged breath they waited for her next words.
" I think we've been spied on"
"What!! " they all chorused
"We may not know for how long it went on but one thing we know is that its a girl from this block and we need to find her" I said
They were shocked by Katie's rational conclusion of the matter but still...
"Why?" Maja asked
"Because if she tells the matron that we've been sneeking out at night we are all doomed "Sophie said
"Well this just ruined my mood" Kc sighed
" We can't do anything now, let's just go back to bed. We'll settle this later"
"Ok "Sophia said
"Good night" kc said
"Maja aren't you leaving? "
"Nope I'll squat with Nora, I'll leave early in the morning"
"Ok, good night " I said
We all walked out and headed to our various rooms, I couldn't sleep well cause I kept on thinking about the girl that spied on us, why wasn't I able to catch her!
"Ugh!!!" I sighed
Maybe that's a case for tomorrow I guess. Right now I need to get some sleep...
