"Oh! Hey Tori!" Adelyn greeted as she heard Tori call out. "Yes, very much so!" She laughed; she truly was having a wonderful time here.

"Oh, well that makes sense, I suppose." Adelyn replied, as they begun dancing. "Thanks, you are, too!" She laughed, thoroughly enjoying herself.

Nicolette spotted Nessa walk in. "Nessa! How's everything?" , she said plopping down on the couch next to the girl.

Vanessa thought about if she knew Madison. The name ringed a bell but she shrugged. "I might have seen or heard about her but I don't think I actually ever talked to her. Like I said, I was shy before." She said sighing.

Vanessa laughed. "Oh no, this is Bonnie's fourth year here. Hopefully she's doing okay, I haven't spoken to her in a while." She said. "We barely talk now ever since the divorce which saddens me." She frowned.

"Oh, um, I was just going to ask you the..the same thing." No she was not. She wanted to be in his arms. Why lie? "Actually I wanted to know if...if you wanted to be more. Than friends, I mean." Reed looked at him. She knew the other girls had heard her, and she was proud of her courage. "But you have to stop acting like I am the weakest person, Jason. I changed, okay? I am strong now, and if you do not believe me, maybe we are better off not together." Reed took a breathe.

"Ah, I'm sorry to hear that," Aiden said, when she brought up the divorce again. It was a cliche comment, but what else was he supposed to say? He nodded, not really to anything she said, and linked his fingers together. Hmm. He was running out of topics to talk about.

"Well I think I must be going. It was great talking to you and thank you for agreeing to my plan." Vanessa said standing up. "Hopefully it will be easy for us once this plan is in action." She sighed. She really hoped it would be easy telling everyone about this "relationship". However she knew it wouldn't be like that at all..too much drama would surround this once it gets out into the open.

He was really confused now. “Reed- you just said you wanted to be more and then you say we’re better off not together?! Make up your mind already! I don’t have time for games!” He yelled, and glanced around to find every one staring at him. He shook it off and continued. “I love you, but I just don’t want to play around anymore. I always knew you weren’t weak, but I didn’t want you to get hurt.” He tried to go a step further and he took her hand in his.

"Okay, Jason. I love you too. And, I am so sorry. But, I just need one favor. Tell me exactly what you think of me, offensive or nice. I need to know how you feel, then I can say how I feel too." Reed was kind of confused. "And, I don't want to play around either." She kissed him on the cheek, then smiled.

Jason liked her showing the affection, and he kissed her back. Some kids muttered about ‘kissing on the first day’ and ‘that’s just gross’ but he didn’t mind. “Ok, I’ll tell you how I feel. I’ve got mixed feelings about you, and how you ran off with Thomas in the woods. Were you enchanted, or did you do it because I was”- He stuttered. “Well, I was hypnotized. I don’t know about you.” He thought for a moment. “Um, you bite your nails too much, and you’re always sniffing. Do you have allergies?” He joked. “Just kidding. I like how you declare your independence, and I love you. Never expect anything mean from me, because I’ll flat out tell you.”

" My lucky number of friends is infinity" Rex laughed. 'Well, all are girls but one or two" Rex explained to Ginny. 'Do you think Kay minds almost all of my friends are girls ?" Rex asked Ginny.

"Magnolia, I guess I love being a Gryffindor" Rex told her. "Well, I am glad I met you" Rex said to Magnolia.

"What reading in the common room?" Rex asked Nessa. " How can you read with all this talking going around you " Rex asked Nessa.

" Thanks for being a very good dance partner" Rex told Adelyn as they finished the Cha-Cha. 'Well, what is next on our agenda?" Rex asked Adelyn.

"Well, I don't know. Any ideas? I'm up for anything." Adelyn replied with a smile.

"Kay. Well, first of all, I was hypnotized. I do not even remember Thomas being there..Oh, I remember. I am sorry, I had to think for a moment." As always, Reed paused before she told Jason her feelings. "Okay, well, you are the sweetest guy on the planet. And I am sorry about how I acted when we were younger. But, you are the sweetest guy I have ever met, and I cannot believe I did not go out with you earlier." Reed smiled. She sat down on a chair, and said, "I love you, Jase. Really. I think we should start over. But, still dating, of course. Let us forget about the past." Reed laughed, with a fancy wave of her hand.

"I used to dance in a ballet company. We traveled to different countries, it was amazing. I miss it sometimes.." Nicolette said with a sigh.

Nessa looks up from her book, "Hey Nicolette! How are you doing? Everything is going good, just kicking back in the common room." Nessa lifts the book to indicate her pleasure of reading but wanted to take a break and socialize.

Nessa then turns to Rex, "Hey Rex! How are you doing? I am just reading a book for pleasure. It's called..." Nessa looks at the book cover, "Angel on the Roof," she said with a smile and she looks around the common room. "Hmm...that's weird, I didn't notice how many people were here in the common room" she giggled looking at both Nicolette and Rex.

"Well all of our lucky friends are two infinity", laughed Ginny back. "Come on a few guys", said Ginny. "I think Kay perfectly knows that basically all of your friends are girls", Ginny told Rex.

"Well, I would not mind taking a walk in the courtyard" Rex told Adelyn. " Sometimes it is quiet where I could talk to my friend" Rex said to Adelyn.


"Well, why don't you do a ballet dance for me here in the common room" Rex told Nicolette. I bet you could get me to like ballet a little more than I do now" Rex said to Nicolette.

" I am doing fine" Rex told Nessa. "Well, reading is a real good thing" Rex said to Nessa. " The book must be about you" Rex smiled at Nessa.

Nessa looks up at Rex and smiles, "Thanks for the compliment Rex," she said with a big smile. "I actually love reading! I think it's the best!"

"Okay then. Courtyard it is." Adelyn said with a smile to Rex.

Jason smiled and waved it off too. “Yeah sure,” he said, “you’ve got a fresh plat.” He said, pointing at her. “Let’s meet at the lake, I’ve got a surprise.” He said, taking off.

" You welcome and I bet you are an Angel" Rex told Nessa. " I read but it is mostly my schoolbooks" Rex explained to Nessa.

"Well, we will hang out at the Courtyard" Rex tells Adelyn.

"Okay, cool." Adelyn grinned.

Magnolia laughed and shook her head, brushing her hair out of her face she replied, "Well, thank you very much. I think i'm glad i met you too" she teased. She'd only talked to Rex a couple of times, and she was pretty sure that he was a little bit cocky.

She closed her book and began writing a letter home to her family.

"Well, everything friends like us do are cool" Rex told Adelyn. " How can I get to have guys as friends?" Rex asked Adelyn.

" you are welcome" Rex told Magnolia. "Well, enjoy writing your letter" Rex said to Magnolia.

Nessa smiled again, 'That's so sweet' she thought, she then looked back up at Rex, "Aww thanks, you are an angel as well," she said with a smile. "I need to start reading the school books, they are all sitting up in my trunk, which is actually a good idea," Nessa said to Rex, 'I should get ahead by reading all my schoolbooks now' she thought.

"Kay.." Reed ran off to the lake, thinking of all the posibilities the "surprise" could be.
