As the car pulled up the penthouse building, Aurora felt oddly at peace with the current atmosphere of the car. Yes, there still was a bit of tension, a lot of which came from Ashton for whatever reason. But it was obvious that Damien and Reese were far better off than they had been before. However, Aurora's mind seemed to be a bit of a jumbled mess. Why was Tyson still in her thoughts? He was nothing more than a subject for her to pick apart layer by layer until she understood the truth of him. She caught Damien's eye then, quickly picking up on the worry he held there along with the concern in Ashton and Reese's tones. "I have one rule when it comes to research subjects," she began in a confident tone. "Never get too close. And never get attached." It was the easier way to keep her from getting too close to anyone she knew she shouldn't. But still-- she couldn't get the way Tyson had looked at her out of her mind, as well as the image of him with the other girl. It was all so...bothersome. "Anyways, boys. It looks like we part ways here. It's time for girls' night!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Damien couldn't help but be worried even when Aurora tried her best to reassure them. In the few years they'd known each other, he'd never seen her quite so interested in any one person. People watching and analyzing were one of her favourite things in life. But not to this extent. Not when so many people had warned her against him. He quickly shook his head, deciding he'd talk to her about it more at some other point. At the moment, his attention was drawn to his best friend who looked to still be rather tense. Grimacing in understanding he gave a nod, "Sure, bro. Pretty sure only my brother's gonna be around tonight so it's no problem." Damien's lips formed into a playful pout when Aurora spoke up again, carefully reaching over Reese to open the door. "Alright alright, we know when we're no longer wanted. Ah, right!" He looked to Reese then, his usual boyish grin back in place. "Make sure you have the places you wanna go this weekend figured out, alright? Text me about it or-- come find me or whatever by Friday." Suddenly feeling a bit awkward, he climbed out of the car and shoved his hands back into his pockets. He had this inkling that Ashton would be having a talk with him, and his mind was already formulating as many appropriate responses as possible.

Alexandra pulled out her phone as it buzzed. She was subscribed to receive a notification every time a gossip girl post circulated. She swallowed hard as she opened it and began to read.

((Officially edited the GG post ;) ))

"Okay," Reese responded with a soft smile in his direction, "Be prepared to see all the wonderful clothing stores in New York." She chuckled with as she playfully nudged his shoulder. Once she exited the car after him she turned towards the two boys, and over dramatically gestured for them to shoo, "Now be gone," she joked, as she held her purse tight. She felt it buzz and she wondered what it was . She followed Aurora towards her penthouse, and she dug through her bag till she found her phone, and froze as she saw the notification, "Gossip Girl has posted about our night." She knew that there was clearly not going it have anything written about her. Why would she post about her? She did nothing all night.

--

Ashton chuckled in his friends direction, as he wrapped around Damien's neck, "We will be on our way. Don't have too much fun without us." He turned his attention to Damien. He was clearly going to ask him about tonights events, and most importantly, Reese. He knew that she wasn't telling him something. He wasn't sure whether or not he was read y to hear it. He followed his friend towards his penthouse. Once the girls were out of sight he didn't waste anytime, "So, you and Reese?" he pondered, as he ran a hand through his slightly damp hair. He knew it was better to ask right away, then wait till later. He needed to know his friends opinions now, and he also needed to talk to Reese later. He knew something was up, and there was no way their were going to get away with lying to him this time.
(view spoiler)[ Post at Damien's? :) (hide spoiler)]

(( Oooh boy I love it lol. ))

Aurora climbed out of the car with the rest of the group, pulling Damien into a quick hug before he went on his way. "Thank you for not being super protective knight at the party," she mumbled below her breath, the look of gratitude on her face evident. She knew Damien would make up something about keeping her by his side the entire night when Caleb asked the next day, but at least they knew the truth. Her spirits were high as the girls made their way into the building first; a bright smile ever present on her lips, she wiggled her fingers in a wave to one of the doormen. Leading the other girls to the elevator, she felt her phone go off in her bag-- and heard Reese already tell her what it was. Retrieving the device from her purse, it was only seconds later when she read over the post. "Well," she declared with a laugh, entering the elevator first, "school tomorrow should be interesting."

(view spoiler)[No problemo, chica! (hide spoiler)]

Once she read over the post she froze, and gripped her phone tightly, "Seriously. Who ever this person is, they are are a huge bitch. I mean know can there just interrupt things like that. You clearly, didn't sleep with Tyson. Damien and me clearly don't have a thing." She let out a groan. She didn't think it was fair that someone could make up shit about their lives. How at all is this fun? she thought as she ran a annoyed hand through curly blonde hair. If it wasn't already somewhat awkward between her and Damien. Now she had the whole school thinking that she and him were jumping each others bones behind closed doors. It was unbelievable. Finally, when she started to enjoy the night again, it was ruined, "Alexandra you officially are the luckiest person ever! There's nothing written about you here." She let out a sigh, and now she knew that she couldn't ignore what was happened between her, because now everyone was going to hear an over exaggerated version of the truth. She was never going to live this day down. She just hopped that someone else soon would do something that she would post about, allowing this to just disappear.

Alexandra nodded, "Thank god...I hope I'm never written about...like ever." She couldn't even imagine the secrets which could be unearthed about her

It was normal to be bothered by what Gossip Girl wrote, especially when it was all based on rumours and speculations. But Aurora wasn't what most would call normal. She bounced up to her front door, unlocking and opening the door to lead the other girls inside. "It's how high school works," she called back without losing her bright tone. "Either way, everyone would've been talking-- GG just...gets it out there faster. But Alexandra, you are definitely lucky." Always the positive one in any situation, Aurora forced herself to ignore the slight ache in her chest. Not because of what had been written about her, oh no. But the fact that now things would return to being awkward with Reese and Damien and also-- If she took the time to admit it to herself, she was slightly bothered by the Tyson blurb. "Look, it'll be fine. Damien will straighten things out and....Caleb will threaten anyone trying to talk shit about me. The only thing I'm bothered about?" She turned to face the girls once in the living room, now wearing an exasperated expression. "The fact that they think I'm a virgin-- I mean really." With a scoff, she practically danced her way up the stairs and to her room. Her shoes were immediately kicked off, and she promised herself not to let the blog bother her. But...as unique as Aurora was, she was still a human sixteen year old girl after all.

"Hey, at least they don't think you slept with the half of the school," She let out a sigh, as she took a deep breath. To be honest, she couldn't remember everyone she had slept with my she was positive it wasn't half of the school. She glanced down at her damp clothes, "Have any clothes I can burrow for the night and mind if I shower? I smell like chlorine," she responded as she scrunched her noes in disgust. She had always hated the smell of swimming pools and she was never sure why. She zipped off her heels and left them near the door. He feet killed, "No matter what they do. People may not talk about it towards us, but they will still think about it. No matter what Damien, or Caleb do." She hated high school too much drama. It hurt her to read that someone thought she wasn't good enough for Damien. He caused her heart to dropped. It wasn't like the idea of being with him hadn't crossed her mind, she knew it wasn't going to happen but for someone to say that. It was sad, because she believed it. She wasn't good enough for Damien. She was just such messed up girl, who had a slutty fucked up history. She turned towards Alexandra sending her a comforting smile, "She eventually will, sadly. But at least it hadn't happened yet."

Alexandra frowned. She rubbed her back sorely where the bruises were, "I how you two will be alright..." She bit her lip. She didn't like the way gossip took in this town

Aurora flopped down in the middle of her bed as soon as she was in her room. She knew that she reeked of beer and needed to shower, and even more importantly get into comfier clothes. But at the moment she didn't really care. All she wanted to do was make sure her friends were okay. Pulling her phone from her purse, she quickly sent Damien a text. U ok? :( I'll make sure C doesn't kill you. At Reese's voice, Aurora raised her head with an exhausted smile. "You're both free to raid my closet as much as you need to," she slurred out as her head fell back to the mattress. "And the bathroom's through that door--" Here she raised her hand, pointing to a dark purple door leading off from her room. "--you'll find the most amazing shower ever." Releasing her red hair from its elastic band, the strands tumbling around her shoulders, Aurora laid her head on her arms. She wouldn't let the thoughts of Tyson-- their encounter and the idea of him with that other girl --consume her mind.

Alexandra pulled out her phone and sent a simple hey to Ashton, sending a smiley face at the end last minute, hoping it wasn't too formal. She put her phone on vibrate face down

"Thanks," Reese responded as she disappeared to the bathroom. She fought the urge to text Damien to see how he was going with the post, but decided he had probably heard enough about her for the rest of his night. She took her makeup whips out of her bag and took off the smeared makeup that got ruined from her swim off. Freeing her pale skin from the gunk and allowing her face to breath. She let out a sigh and she slipped into the shower. This gossip girl post had reminded her of what people out side of her friends truly thought of her; a slut. That's all she was to everyone. In high school everyone got labels, the one you got was the one you were stuck with. Not matter if you changed or not. Once she finished her shower, which had basically turned into a little cry, she wrapped herself in a towel and headed out of the room, as she made her way towards the closet, she asked, "So what you guys wanna do tonight?"

Alexandra grabbed her phone from the floor, smiling, a blush covering her cheeks. what a night, huh?(: she texted back. "I'm ok with doing anything" She said, changing out of her dress and into a t shirt and shorts

Eventually Aurora forced herself to roll off the bed, giving Alexandra an apologetic smile as she slipped out of the room. She knew if she didn't get herself cleaned up, she wouldn't be doing it anytime soon that night. The girl found her way to her parents' bathroom, quickly removed her make up and took a quick shower, and before she knew it she was ready to go. Now, food. While her friends were still otherwise occupied, Aurora made her way back downstairs and into the kitchen. Thanks to have a restaurant owner of a father who was also one of the country's top chefs, her fridge was always filled with some of the best foods. She grabbed a few leftovers from the week-- herb roasted chicken; gourmet pizza; soft cheese and homemade crusty bread --along with a few sodas. "This should tied us over for the night," she announced cheerily to the empty kitchen, assembling it all on a tray. She was just coming back into her room with the tray in hand when Reese asked about their plans, flashing her brightest smile of the night while walking to her bed. "I say we pig out, forget about all the bad crap from tonight, watch some movies, and just-- pretend Gossip Girl doesn't even exist."

Reese stole a pair of Aurora's sweats, and a t shirt, before she went to go join her friends. She saw the food Aurora had brought, "You officially are my favourite person." The excitement rose to her eyes and she took a sat down n Aurora's bed as took the homemade crusty bred, and spreading soft cheese along it. She took a bit out of it and her taste buds exploded, "This's is amazing." She opened a can of coke, and took a sip. She flashed her friends a warming smile, "Do you have the Notebook?" Reese was a romantic, and loved to watch all the easy movies she could when she was sad. It was one of her favourites, and she watched it every time she was homesick, or just sad. She could basically quote the whole movie, but she could never get sick of it. It was an addiction; not a bad one, but still. She wanted to have someone to love her, and she feed this feeling through movies. There were worst ways of handing her need.

Alexandra sprawledout on the floor, stretchibg "school tomorrow is gonna blow" she sighed. She felt her phone vibrate and a smile slipped acrosd her face. still up for dancing sometime?(: she replied bravely

Sweeping her arm through the air, Aurora gave an exaggerated bow before releasing a laugh. It wasn't all that often that she had friends stay over. In fact, the only friend that visited the Lewis house consistently was Damien, and he was seen as more of Caleb's friend if anything. To say the girl was more than excited for this little impromptu sleepover. "It's one of the many perks from coming from a restaurant family," she chirped with a bright smile, snagging one of the slices of pizza. She jumped up from her bed then and stepped into her walk in closet, grabbing the movie from the DVD shelf before dancing back out. "Of course! This movie is like-- essential in every girl's life." Aurora had a great love for any sort of romantic movies no matter what mood she was. Never had she been all that interested in love being in her own life, but who doesn't enjoy watching it unfurl on the screen? On her way back to the bed, Aurora snatched up a remote and hit a button that raised a picture on the other side of her room, revealing a large mounted plasma tv; she quickly put the DVD in the player, and flopped back on the bed. "Eh, it could be a whole lot worse. Everything written could be true," she offered with a shrug before hitting play.

Reese chuckled softly with a nod. Her friend did have a point. Everything that was written could of been, but for a moment she couldn't help but ponder what it would of been like if her and Damien did have a thing. Of course, she would of hoped it was more than just a thing, but knowing Damien it most likely would end up being a meaningless thing, no matter how it started. A soft frown fell upon her lips as she shook these thought out of her head. I don't like him. I shouldn't even being thinking about this . She hugged on of Aurora's purple pillows close to her chest, as she let out a sigh. It occurred to her it could be worse. She watched as the movie came on the screen and her face was quickly lightened, "Jeez, Ryan Gosling, please be the father of my child," she joked, as he came on the screen, and she let her mind disappear from Damien, and onto Ryan. If her life was a movie, it would be so much easier because it end with a happy ending. Even through the notebook ended sadly, it was still cute, and she hoped her future would hold something adorable as well.

Alexandra giggled as she read the text from Ashton. She quickly sent back sounds like a plan. Dance studio after school? She turned to the other two and smiled, "I would be so ok with that! He's dreamy" she faked a swoon

It was a relief to see the other girls so at ease when only half an hour or so everyone had been on edge. Aurora only hoped that Damien and Ashton were just as well off-- But part of her knew they weren't. The two of them were alike in many senses; the main similarity came in the form of their worry for those they cared about, especially the women in their lives. Tomorrow was going to be hard, and Aurora already knew that neither of them would leave her or Reese along until things were okay. All of that aside, her mind continued wandering back to Tyson-- along with another boy she couldn't help thinking of. A slight smile traced along her lips, watching the movie with focused eyes. "This movie makes me think of someone," she said in a dreamy tone, watching the familiar story play out before her eyes. The girl had watched this movie far too many times to the point of knowing most of the lines by heart. She once dreamed of having a romance much like it, but came to her senses rather quickly: It was just a story and a movie; nothing about it was realistic. "Which brings me to our next topic!" A child like giggle escaped Aurora, pushing herself up until she was sitting and finishing off her slice of pizza. "What kind of slumber party would this be without talking about boys, right?"

Reese's phone buzzed and she was surprised to see Damien's name flash on her screen. She read the text, and a soft smile rose to her lips as she realized her was thinking about her. She wasn't sure why but it brought her joy. I'm fine. What about you? she frowned softly as she sent him the lie. She hated lying to anyone, but knew that if she told the truth he wouldn't stop worrying about her. She didn't want him to waste anytime worrying about her because she knew that once you started you'd realize that she was never fine. The last thing she wanted was another boy in her life to baby her the way Ashton did. When Aurora stated her comment she wondered who had captured the girl's attention, and she rose her brows in her friend's direction, "Who do you guys think he hands down the hottest guy?" Reese asked as she wiggled her brows in towards both of her friends. She couldn't help but allow Damien to pop into her mind, and she quickly shook the thoughts away. She knew she couldn't think of him that way, or anyway other than a friend.

Alexandra smiled down at her phone. She was unsure if she was supposed to reply, so she sent a :) back to him. Then she looked at the other two, "I'm not sure. There's quite a few cute ones" she giggled

As soon as the question was asked, a vivid image of a familiar face was painted in Aurora's mind. Blue eyes, blonde hair, and a smirk that could've stopped her heart if she let it. But that had never been the case for her; she wasn't as physically attracted to people as most of her peers were, not in the conventional sense. It was all about how the person's mind worked; the way they felt, what they thought, how they viewed the world. A sigh passed through her lips then, flopping back on her bed while pretending to give the query some serious thought. "Like Alexandra said, there are a lot of cute guys in our school," she stated towards the ceiling, feeling as if she were betraying her own memory. "But! I have to say, the captain of the basketball team is pretty hot. Then, of course, D.C. and Ashton are in the top five." It was odd, Aurora had always found Damien rather attractive but nothing beyond a 'my good friend is really good looking' kind of way. She saw the way all of the girls would flock to him anywhere he went, and she supposed that's what put her off from him completely. Turning her head until her cheek was pressed into the mattress, Aurora gave Reese a curious look. "How about you?"

"Well my top five," Reese hummed, as she pretended to stoked her bread with a soft chuckle. Of course, Damien was one of the first people to top in her mind, but she didn't want to say his name first, "Ashton's pretty hot, but don't tell him that it would feed his ego. Andre, the photographer, Damien, and the blonde twins." She felt a soft blush raise to her cheeks as she stated Damien's name, as she tried to hid it by looking down at her pale hands that were settled in her lap.The felt her phone go off, and was very quick to reply to Damien: I know I can. :) haha Caleb threatening to beat your ass tmw? ;) She felt bad about lying, but knew it was for the best. He wouldn't want him to waste his precious time worrying about her. She shoved her phone back into the pocket of the grey sweats she was borrowing from her friend. She laid her back down she that her head connected with Aurora's pillow, "Any crushes?" She responded as she playfully sent kissey faces towards her two best friends. Sadly, all this topic did was allow Damien's adorable face to consume her thoughts. I can't like him. I just can't. And I don't

Alexandra blushed, "Perhaps...but that's a secret" she winked. She knew Reese must have figured it out by now, especially with what she had told her earlier when they were getting ready. She pulled her hair up into a ponytail, "What about you Aurora?"

It's so obvious and she doesn't even know it... Watching her friend try and conceal how she really felt was slightly amusing for Aurora. Anyone that took the time to notice the way she avoided placing Damien first, the way she blushed so soon after, and even the way she looked at her phone-- Then again, Aurora had a keen eye and a knack for reading people in most situations. The first time she'd seen Reese and Damien interact, the younger was quickly able to pick up on the chemistry between them both. While the others talked on, Aurora glanced over at her phone and pursed her lips. She was unsurprised to find about twenty texts from her brother-- all of which she had purposefully ignoring. She pushed herself up on her elbows when the next question was asked, scrunching up her face at the idea. "I'm...not one to really have crushes," she answered with ease considering it really was true. However-- "But I guess there was someone that I could've maybe had a crush on. Unfortunately he left." She said this just as easily, shoulder lifting in a quick crush. But if anyone really looked at her, glanced at the expression in her eyes, it was more than obvious that Aurora was hurt by this. She flopped back on the bed then, lips twitching in a mischievous smirk. "Which means I need to live vicariously through you both. Now spill."

Alexandra sighed, hugging her phone to her chest when she received Ashton's text, "Boys are so weird" she giggled, "And I'm Sure you must a tiny itsy bitsy crush on Someone" she raised an eyebrow and giggled

She knew that Alexandra was referencing to Ashton, and she pated her knee almost in a comforting manner, because of the whole Gwen thing. She honestly had no love life. Sure, she did find Damien attractive, and adorable, but she knew nothing could come of it, and it would be nothing more than a sexually attraction. she wouldn't let herself allow it to grow into anything else because she knew it would end badly. "Well, I personally have no guy activities going on in my l-," Reese was about to explain the lack of guy interaction she is currently receiving. But then her phone went off; she quickly went to go dig it out of her pocket in hope that it was Damien, but the screen read: Gossip Girl Update. She clicked on it in open that it stated nothing about her. The last thing she wanted was to be trashed again on Gossip Girl's blog. She couldn't stand the blog, and she couldn't wait till the person who was Gossip Girl finally got bored with ruining other peoples lives. She opened it up to read the post about James. Once she discovered she was no where to be seen she let out a deep breath she didn't know she was holding. "Guys, you'll never guess who's back," she responded as she quickly sat up from her lying position, and turned away from her phone to face both of her friends. She had heard about James, and was never truly gotten to know him.

Alexandra gave her a look, "Suree you don't have any crushes" she laughed, "And who?" It was always interesting news when someone came to town, especially if the Gossip Girl was interested enough in them to make a post about it. She sat up with interest sparking in her eyes

At Alexandra's comment, Aurora couldn't help but nod in agreement. "Boys are one of the strangest species I've ever had the pleasure of encountering." Since she was a little girl, Aurora never really could figure out how the other sex's brain functioned. The way they looked at girls more like they were objects than people; the way they treated sex like it was a sport, not an intimate act; the way they talked, acted, and treated each other for that matter. It all made very little sense to her and she believed it never would. Aurora quickly shook her head, shimmer red locks flying out around her head, before replying with a small smile. "I haven't found anyone that I really...connect with on that level, you know? Like I said, there was someone that could've but--" She finished with a small shrug, that same face returning to her mind-- only to be replaced with another. A face that she didn't know all that well, and yet could easily remember every detail. A face she had only seen for the first time earlier that night. When Reese evaded the whole topic and moved onto another, Aurora looked to her friend's phone and assumed it was yet another GG post. With a sigh she reached for her own phone...only to find it had died. "Great...remind me to charge my phone before we sleep? But who who who?" It was always a big thing when Gossip Girl talked about someone coming back into town. There was always a small hope in Aurora that it was one person in particular-- but that hope had slowly began to fade over the past eight months or so.

Reese got Damien's text, and quickly cleared her throat, as she shoved her phone back in her pocket, "Never mind, it's not important. It was totally fake. I mean she deleted it now too. Guess Gossip girl can make mistakes too," she stated, awkwardly rubbed the back of her neck, "So, boys. Seriously, you guys need to see Harrison shirtless. Like dammnnn. That guy is a smoking," Reese over dramatically stated about one of the swimmers had their schools, and decided that this wasn't enough. She need to make sure the topic never went back to Gossip Girl. She then stated the most absurd thing she could time of the distract her from her pervious question, "I have a confession to make. I think Mr. Collins. Is hot," she stated referring to her History teacher. It wasn't a complete lie, she did find herself day dreaming about him sometimes, but the only reasons she said it was so her friends would be so shocked they would let the last topic left the conversation. She sent a quick to reply to Damien: I've got it recovered, bro. YOU OWE ME BIG TIME!! Once she sent her text she quickly shoved in back into her pocket, and was ready to take her friends judgement. She flashed them an embarrassed smile as she ran a hand through her blonde curly hair. The things she would do for her friends was endless.

Alexandra sighed, "Agreed..he's so dreamy. If only it wasn't illegal" She laughed, "We all saw how that went for the last male teacher." She rolled her eyes. Everyone knew about that little incident thanks to Gossip Girl

Aurora was just reaching over to charge her phone when Reese spoke up, looking over at her friend with a raised brow. What the-- She was suspicious as most anyone would be. Gossip Girl wrote anything and everything that she was tipped off about, but there was never a time she could remember that the mysterious blogger had made a mistake. "Guess there's a first time for everything, right?" She amended before tossing her dead phone back to where it was. Even though she said it, Aurora found it a bit...hard to believe. But why would Reese be trying to hide whoever the post was about? And yet why would she lie to her friends about it? Aurora chose to let it go for now, and possibly ask about it later, but for now... "Some of my friends dragged me to watch the swim team practice one day, and I have to admit Harrison is gorgeous. But--" Hazel eyes widened with shock at the revelation, slowly shaking her head while rolling around on the bed. "Let's just hope we don't have another Mr. Tillson sitch on our hands!" She exclaimed with a laugh, the other topic completely forgotten for now. If someone really had come back into town, they would all know the next morning anyways. For now the youngest wasn't going to let it bother her.

"Hey. Hey. Hey. Not saying I would do it while he was still my teacher. But technically he's not illegal once a graduate," Reese chuckled as she wiggled her brows in her friend's direction, as she laid back down on Aurora's bed. If he asked her to fuck him, she do it without even thinking, "Have you just pictured being in his arms. Don't even lie. It's a freaking god, and I always see him at the gym, and it makes me melt." Her phone when off but she couldn't help but giggle softly at the sight of Damien's name, and was quick to reply: Not enough. I hate to state I wanted to slept with Mr. Collins. You own me at last two meals ;p She smiled down at her phone, and realized she was still surrounded by the girls, and quickly hid he phone back in the pocket of her sweats, and she awkwardly cleared her throat and pretended that he fangirling didn't happen. She then gestured to the screen, "Sooooo, the notebook." She hoped that Ryan Gosling would distract her friends. She turned her gaze back to the movie, as she watched the cutest of the couple and frowned softly at her love life. She wished she was that lucky to find someone that loved her to extent.

Alexandra laughed along with them, "I'm sure we all have thought that way from time to time." She pulled out her phone and look at her schedule, "Oh and Reese, my next shoot is on Tuesday, if you want to come. I'll have to drive us there"

A boisterous laugh exploded from Aurora then, rolling onto her side and wrapping her arms around her torso. She couldn't believe one of her good friends was talking about a teacher that way-- Then she thought back to her other group of friends, and the various conversations that were held at lunch. And suddenly she could believe it. "I'm pretty much done with you right now, Reese. Now every time I see Mr. Collins I'm going to think about him slobering all over you," she said with a playful shudder. Ah, this was the atmosphere she had been trying for the entire night since they'd left the party. It felt as if all the events that had taken place, the blog post from Gossip Girl, and the earlier awkwardness had completely faded away. Aurora planned on asking Reese about that little smile she wore while texting whoever, but for now she would just leave it alone. The main focus of her attention was right on the TV screen. "I swear, if I had a Noah in my life I would completely rethink that whole no crushes and no 'love' thing," she stated genuinely, a dreamy look settling in her eyes before she let out a small yawn.

"It's funny because I'm like 5'4 and its 6'4. He's like a giant compared to me," Reese chuckled, as he mind pictured her and Mr. Collins standing side by side, and she bursted out in laughter, "Gosh, I'm short." She has always been bothered by her height. This made her try her hardest to make the rest of herself perfect. She went to the gym almost daily, but a least 5 times a week. Which was were she always found Mr. Collins drenched in sweat, which of course fuelled her obsession to work out even more. But no matter how hard she tried she would always feel lesser because she was short. She clutched Aurora's pillow against her chest, as she turned her attention to the movie screen and her eyes met Noah's. "I know right," she groaned, as she huffed out a sigh, "He's just perfect. I want someone to look at me like that." Most people either looked at her like she was easy, or a freak; either way it wasn't how she wanted to be viewed by the opposite sex. Her thoughts were refocused on tomorrow. It was going to be worst tomorrow. She just wished she could skip through the next few days, "And I'd love to go to the shoot."

"There's nothing wrong with being short" Alexandra said with a smile,"Height isn't everything." She truly believed this to be true. She fiddled with her hair and made a note to tell her parents about bringing Reese with her at some point, when they were in a good mood

((That awkward moment when I replied to Alex's question but causally lost it. #ihatemyphone ))

((Haha It's fine))

"Excuse you!" Aurora exclaimed with mock outrage, reaching for one of her pillows to playfully whack Reese with it. "You and I are exactly the same height, and I'm perfectly fine with it." A small huff left her then, taking the pillow she had previously hit her friend with and tucking it beneath her head. All her life Aurora had been one of the smaller girls in her class, and it had never really bothered her. Her parents always said that she was simply a pixie without her wings; one day she'd meet her foretold prince and she'd gain her fairy wings just like Thumbelina. Then again, her parents also told her she'd been born from a flower-- so, of course she knew fairy tales were nothing but that: silly tales to placate their petite child. "I'm really glad that most of the guys I know aren't extremely tall," she commented however while closing her eyes, yet another yawn leaving her. She was beginning to feel exhausted. Whether more from the girls' night or the party she couldn't really tell. The sounds of her friends chattering on and the movie playing in the background, it was all a rather soothing soundtrack. Thoughts of all that would take place at school the next day, the strange occurrence of Gossip Girl's second blog post of the night, and two opposing images worked through her mind. "You know," she slurred out, drunk on the desire for sleep, "we should sleep soon. We'll need as much rest as possible for tomorrow."

Reese chuckled softly as she grinned towards her friend. She never realized Aurora's height, she always assumed she was shorter than anyone else. She saw Aurora as adorable, and beautiful. She wished that she looked like her friend. She let out a sigh, as she sigh as she turned towards Alexandra, "I guess you're right," she responded, before shifting her gaze to Aurora, "I like tall guys, they make me feel tiny." She had mix thoughts on her height. She liked guys being way taller than her, but she hated being short; it was confusing. She let out a sigh as she felt her phone buzz and smile as his name appeared across her screen. She was quick to reply: What can I say. I have a thing for History buffs. ;) See you friday for the best weekend of your life. And no complaining! Night. :) Tell Ashie that I don't need a ride tmw. She placed her phone on the nightstand as she turned towards her friends, "I guess you're right," she yawned, as she laid back on the bed with a groan, "We should get rested up for hell tomorrow." She let her mind clear from Gossip Girl, Damien, Tyson, James, her parents, her brother and everything possible, "Thanks for having us over." She really did need this girls night and was glad that her friends had came up with the idea. This way they would all be distracted from everything that had occurred at the party.

(can Gwen be here?)

Alexandra nodded in agreement, "my parents wouldve been enraged if i came back from a party on a school night. So thank you, immensely. " she smilrd sincerely

((Yes :) brb))

((ok, yay))

Gwen yawned, she hadn't gone to the party, her brother was in town. And he annoyed her to death, she wished she could've gone.

Her phone beeped. "Augg!" She grabbed it and ignored her brother, again.

Alexandra felt incredibly uncomfortable with gwen around, especially with her feelings towards Ashton. She opened her messages, looking down at his words, which brought her some solace and she smiled softly
