Authors Note: I am so sorry I haven't updated in a while, I had birthdays to take care of, mothers day and then with finals on the way with butt loads of homework I barely have the time to go to the bathroom or eat. So being on my laptop at any point is difficult. I might have trouble uploading in the future but I will try my best. Anyway, now that my tiny rant is over, I hope you all enjoy. Thanks to all of you who have stuck around <3!

"What?"

"Beth decided to look after the kids and help out with the reward of she chooses an activity for the whole building to do off donations."

"Oh, wow."

"How about we all go to Disney World?" Cherry says excitedly.

"Slow down, we still have a limit."

"The beach, for a whole day," Willow says smiling and nodding her head.

"Five hours there and back, we still have a limit of how far away we can take all of you."

"It's Beth's choice," Andrew says looking to me.

"Beth?" Another adult asks.

"Can I ask for something that isn't an event?"

"As long as you stay in budget."

"Bigger outdoor area for more than just basketball."

"You do resize that won't affect any of you?"

"Beth!" Willow says surprised I am passing up this opportunity.

"Yep."

"You sure?"

"Yep."

"Consider it done."

"Alright then, pack your bags and get ready."

"You are all excused."

 We get up from our seats and all walk out. 

Once we get to the cafeteria with few other people in it and folders in hand we all smile at each other. Willow lets a happy squeal out while looking at her folder and I smile widely as she runs at me and hugs me. Cherry squeals as well and jumps at Alan, hugging him.

Once we all end up hugging each other we all look back to our folders.

"We will be going to the same school!!!"

"What's it like Beth?"

"Yeah, we all need to talk," I say seriously but not like it's an emergency.

"Let's go to my room, my roommate is gone and we can help each other pack!" Cherry says excitedly.

I just finished unpacking.   >_<

We all follow Cherry as she quickly makes her way down the hall with such big smiles we looked psychotic. We make it to her room and she charges in. It is the cleanest, most spotless, most perfect room I have ever seen in my life. She goes over to under her bed and pulls out two suitcases.

So, let me explain these suitcases. When you first came here, you got two suitcases, either a blue one, a green one, a reddish pink one or a black one. We were told that these suitcases would be our's forever and no one can take them from us. It was tradition to hide them under our beds.  It was the one thing that would never change for us so they are kinda super important to us. 

Cherry pulls out her blue suitcases and opens them, revealing a polaroid camera, a stuffed animal, and a snow globe. She quickly begins pulling out drawers.

"C'mon." 

We all get on our knees and start placing her nicely folded clothes inside the empty suitcase next to the one with a few items and she grabs all her other stuff. She takes care of 'other' clothes that she quickly hides under a few shirts. Alan doesn't help out as she wants some privacy of her stuff.

When we finish the whole room looks a lot emptier with her stuff gone. We go and finish Willow's room and head to Alan's and my room. I pack and hide any trace of Tori as Alan is on his own.

"So what did you want to talk to us about earlier?" Alan says turning to me.

"Oh, yeah. Um. You guys remember how the guys the other day think of me as the nerdy, good girl?"

"The opposite of you? Yeah." Cherry says smiling.

"Well...you guys know me as who I am but at school, I am actually just like they said I was."

"A good girl? Why?" Willow asks nudging me.

"I didn't wanna have to get put into another family three days later. So, however, I act at school, you think you could just let it be? And not mention any of this?"

"You embarrassed of us?"

"Not even a little. But I don't need any more rumors."

"Got it," Alan says without hesitation, knowing to a degree what I am on about.

"Alright," Cherry says slowly.

Willow nods her head as she places a shirt in my bag and I do the same.

Us girls finish at the same time as Alan. Even though he did it by himself he had less stuff then I did. It is just past noon. Cherry and Alan sit on his bed while me and Willow sit on mine when we are done.

"You know what we should do for our final day?" Willow says smiling.

"Huh?"

"First, finish things off with Zane and that girl at the moment and all stay here overnight."

"You two were the ones doing that?!" Cherry says shocked.

"If you girls are throwing a sleepover, I'm out," Alan says putting his hands in the air.

"Yeah, have been for awhile," Willow says till looking over to Alan.

"Just invite some of your guy friends," Willow says leaning forward, resting her arms on her knees.

"Alan actually has male friends?" Cherry says chuckling and elbowing him.

"I do actually, but I am not about to invite them all over here." He says to Cherry returning her look with a smirk.

"Fine. We will do the sleepover at my place." Cherry says smiling.

"Alright. Well since we all know about this Zane situation. How about we all get on board?" Willow says with an evil glimmer in her eyes with a sinister smile.

I give her the same look and Alan joins with that terrifying, scary look.

"You are all too weird," Cherry says looking at us.

"You don't have to help if you don't want. You can take pictures."

"Done."

"So, here is the plan."

We talk about what is about to go down. In the end, we are all smiling and nod at each other.

"You ready Willow?"

"Girl, I was born ready." She says flipping her hair.

"Alright, you go over there, we will get the supplies," I say smiling just a bit evil.

She nods and we all stand up. She is first out the door and we go to where we need. Cherry starts writing on the papers. Alan gets string, borax, glue, and some waters along with hot sauce. I get superglue, red dye, newspapers, and some envelope. I also had talked to the cooks before. I paid them awhile ago under the table for a cupcake which I grab on my way back. 

Although I see him in the corner of the cafeteria and have to use every bit of self-restraint I had. He was making out with another girl. I hid behind a pillar and listened in.

"Hold on." I hear her say.

"What's wrong babe?"

"When are you gonna get rid of her?"

"Who? Willow?"

"Yeah."

"I am only keeping her around to get stuff out of her. She's a b*^%. She's not like you. You are way better then she could ever be."

"But when can it just be you and I?" She asks in a whiny voice.

"Today. It ends today."

She quickly smiles and begins to make out with him again. I dart away without him or her noticing.

I go to his room and are the first one there. I quickly drop off what I need too and head outside where Willow is getting ready. Let the show begin.

The plan:

1)Get everyone we can outside and make sure Zane is last

2) Set up the cupcake and signs of 'single you' after letting everyone else know the plan

3) The girl gets this too

4) Shove single cupcake in his face if retaliates, give to him otherwise

5) Cause him to run to his room

6) Instant tap's and long-term traps are ready in his room.

Cherry soon comes out with papers and a few people along with some bowels. They smile as she continues to explain the plan and what happened with full hands. I give the cupcake to Willow and set everyone up in certain places. All these people are friends of Cherry and Willow so they will help out when they can. One of the perks of having a bunch of friends I guess.

I have them holding the papers where they need. I then take the bowels as Cherry heads back inside to help Alan in his room. I mix all the water, borax and glue in huge bowels using everything we have. I then mix it all in with red dye and feel it. It is the stickiest slime I have ever felt. Perfect >:)

 I lay out newspaper all around the doors and down to Willow who is helping me. Once everything is ready Alan soon comes out with the thumbs up. I nod and run inside as he holds the door open for me.

"How's the stuff out there?" He asks with a smile as I rush in.

"Everyone is ready and everything is ready. How about you guys?"

"I superglued my fingers together. So pretty well." He says showing me his pinky and ring finger stuck together.

"You did well," I said patting his back.

"So when should I bring out the girl?"

"Once you see me head out, bring her out."

"How am I supposed to do that?"

"Well, I'm telling Zane that Willow is about to die and he needs to be there."

"Wow, but what am I supposed to do?"

"Tell her Starbucks is coming for one of the adult's birthday and everyone can have free drinks."

"How do you know that will work?"

"Who doesn't like Starbucks? And if that doesn't work say Zane is about to die."

"You use death as an excuse to move people around often?"

"Only when I really need to."

We walk till we get to Zane's room.

"Alright, good luck." He says smiling.

"You too."

I rush away and down the hall and see Zane smiling at the girl across the cafeteria table.

"Zane! Willow is dying!!! She needs you there!!!"

He looks over at me with a shocked and horrified look.

"NOW!!!!" 

He quickly turns, getting up and rushes down the hall with me and the girl follows just a little bit behind him.

We quickly rush down the hall and I am the first one out the door and Zane follows. I turn and cheering begins as tubs of red slimy goo covers him as he continues to run. He soon stops as he makes grunts and struggles to get the slime off. He is in front of Willow. 

He soon wipes his eyes clean as cheers continue. The doors soon open and the rest of the goo which isn't too much falls on her. She screams.

"You f*&^%$#! b*&^%$# I will kill you!" She screams as she is looking at her hair and hands in front of her face which are red.

"Welcome to your break up party, cheater!" Willow says enthusiastically.

"What is wrong with you, you b*&^%$?!?!?" He screams at her.

"We are over you heartless monster. That's what." She says smiling as the signs raise saying 'congrats Mr.Single'

We all cheer and Alan comes over to me as we applauded.

"You'll never find anyone like me." He retorts with.

"Oh, honey, that's the point." She says smashing the cupcake into his face

I watch as Cherry takes a picture and he flips off Willow. She crosses her arms and smiles.

He storms off and the girl follows him. We all cheer louder and I come over to her, putting my arm around her shoulder.

"Greatest feeling ever right there." She says smiling.

Okay, so I know this seems extreme but I show no mercy for someone who does that to my friends.

I grab the end of the newspapers and send them rolling so that no goo touched the ground and Willow throws away the papers as Alan and Cherry clean the goo bowls and everyone disperses. A few people tell us we were too harsh or are awful people but others said that we did the right thing and that we are amazing and what not.

We finish the pick up quickly and erase any trace we did anything to him. We all go to Cherry's room and sit on the floor, smiling, as the sun disappears. Alan had left earlier with a few of his friends to our room. I am kinda worried about leaving my bags in there.

"P.j.'s?" Cherry asks.

"I didn't bring my bag."

"Then go grab them!"

I throw my head back.

"Why can't I use your p.j.'s?"

"Cause I'll never get them back!" Willow says while motioning her hand as if it was obvious.

"You girls have to come with me, I am not about to walk into a room full of guys alone."

"Fine by me!" Cherry says quickly standing up.

"I'm with Cherry on this, an invitation to a room full of guys."

"You two are all talk," I say standing up.

Willow stands up behind me. We all walk out.

"You two are ridiculous."

"Yet you're the one who left your bags in a room full of guys."

I messed up so bad. I sigh heavily and put my head back. Although when I do I can hear and see someone a few feet behind us. I quickly turn and Gage stands there with his thumbs in the pocket of his dark blue jeans. Does this guy ever wear a shirt?

He smiles at me and crosses his arms. The girls turn when I stop walking and turn around.

"What do you want?"

"Why do you always ask? You know what I want."

"Hoping you want something else because it's not gonna happen.

"You haven't changed what you want from me."

"Well, I guess it's too bad for you then because I'm out of here tomorrow," I say turning around and walking quickly away while Willow and Cherry follow behind me, blocking him from grabbing my arm or anything. 

He doesn't follow through. He just walks away. Which in all honestly makes me mentally celebrate. We continue to walk till reaching my room. Willow shoves me out of the way, smiling at me and barges in.

The talking that once filled the room goes silent as Willow comes in and I look in as Cherry follows her in. I see Alan holding my phone away from his friends as they try to take it from him in a freeze frame as they look to me. My bag is slightly unzipped but almost looks undisturbed otherwise.

"Hello?" I hear Gray say over the phone.

I walk over as everyone stays in the same frozen position but their eyes follow me.

"Beth walked in?" I hear him say over the phone.

"Yep," I say, snatching the phone from Alan as he is sitting on his bed as he is fending off the others.

"You always come in at the worst times." 

"Thanks, Gray. What did they say this time?"

"Lot's of stuff."

I sigh deeply.

"Alright, well, I gotta go kill some people."

"I'll bring the trash bags."

"Thanks, Gray," I say hanging up.

I put my phone in my back pocket and cross my arms, looking at them as I stand next to Alan.

"Let the show begin!" One of his friends says backing up.

I punch his shoulder, hard.

"Stop getting on my phone to call people! You are lucky there are witnesses!"

"Your an abusive friend."

"Good!" I say turning to my bags.

I stuff my phone in the slightly opened one, zipping it up after and Cherry and Willow walk out as I go to pull the bags out of the room. As I get them out I poke my head back in. I point to Alan and then drag my finger across my neck before closing the door behind me.

The girls smile at me as I drag my bags behind me, stone-faced.

"You have a phone?" Cherry says smiling as she takes the bag without my phone for me.

"Yeah," I say with a sigh.

"And you have the guy's phone number?" Willow says as she goes ahead of me and walks backward, talking to me.

"They stole mine and texted me so don't even try to turn this."

"How can I not?!" She says with a laugh.

"She has a point, you have a bunch of guy friends who are absolutely adorable and hot, very complicated and dangerous when a guy can pull off both by the way. And you haven't made a move on any of them. Did we raise you wrong?" Cherry says pushing me a little.

I say nothing. Giving up on even trying to argue. I'll fall asleep within the first two days of it.

"Wait. Does that silence mean you have moved onto one of them?"

"What?! No!"

Wait. Does a kiss on the cheek to get another guy to take a hint count? No. Right? Yeah, no, that doesn't count.

"When we go to this school of yours, things are gonna change," Willow says looking over to me.

"I call Mason!"Cherry says raising one of her hands.

"And you say something is wrong with me?"

She shrugs her shoulders and smiles.

"He's cute you know." She says smiling.

"Top three?" Willow says looking over to Cherry.

"Gray, Mason, Trever. What about you Willow?"

"I'm with you on Gray, but L.J. and A are definitely on my top three," Willow says as we reach Cherry's room and go in.

"What about you Beth?"

"Don't do this to me," I say sitting on one of the beds with my bags beside me.

"C'mon! It's not like we are gonna tell them!"

"I'm not about to choose which one of them I think is hottest."

"Just one of them?"

"No."

"Four of them?" 

"NO."

"Aw, C'mon!" A voice says from my bag.

We all look at my bag and I quickly pull out my phone showing it's still on a call with Gray.

"You heard us?" Gray asks with a chuckle in his voice.

"Are all the guys there?"

"Yep."

"Congrats girls, you have just admitted your top favorites."

Their faces turn bright red and they cover their faces.

"Sup Willow? Cherry?" A says over the phone.

"How red are their faces?" Mason asks over the phone.

"I am pretty sure there isn't a name for that kinda pure red."

"Alan told us your all getting out and going to this school, so when we get to see you, girls?" Trever asks.

"Never, I'm just gonna go die in a hole now," Cherry says holding a pillow.

"Thursday. What is the school doing now?"

"History week. Go back fifty years every day. And the others are all failing school right now."

"Nice. Good luck with that."

"So who are your top three?" L.J. says cutting in.

"I didn't say it to some of my closest friends I have known since I was seven. You think I'm gonna tell you guys?"

"Yes," Trever says.

"Night guys."

"Night Beth."

"Later."

"Bye."

I hang up the phone and triple check to make sure by closing my contacts and powering off my phone as it is forty percent and so that what just happened never happens again.

"So?"

"So what?"

"Who's your favorite?!"

"No."

"Boi, why are you so difficult?"

"Whatever," I say pulling out a pair of p.js.

They do the same and we all go to our own corners beside a bed to change while Cherry changes in the bathroom. Willow and I sleep with our heads on opposite sides but I end up on the floor by the time they are both asleep. 

I hug the pillow my head rests on and close my eyes, too tired to even try to sleep on that bed again. Eventually, though, I fall asleep on these carpeted clean floors. And my escape from reality begins.
