*The Next Day*

*Nicole's Literature class*

ROGER: "I had fun last night, babe."

NICOLE: "Me too!" (writing notes)

ROGER: "We should do it again another time." (winky face)

NICOLE: "Yes we should." (smiles big)

*Bell Rings*

ROGER: "Want me to walk you to class?"

NICOLE: "Sure."

GIA: "Hey!"

NICOLE: "Oh hey, girl. Roger's walking to class with me... well, us."

GIA: "That's fine."

ROGER: "Alright babe. Dinner tonight?"

NICOLE: "Of course! And I'll make sure to look very delicious for ya ;)"

ROGER: "Can't wait..."

GIA: (walking into class) "So, what's going on with you two?"

NICOLE: "Oh nothing. (sits down) We just did some thangs!"

GIA: "What?! Nicole don't tell me you did what I think you did--"

NICOLE: "Heck no, girl! I'm not stupid. We just kissed. Well, made out and it was amazing."

GIA: Look... I think you're going too fast with this guy. You just met him--"

NICOLE: "Look, this is my life, so unless you wanna get slapped leave me alone."

GIA: "Whatever..."

__ Reese's POV __

*at Eric's house*

Ugghh... (yawn) how did I get in this bed? Wait who's bed is this... ? I don't even remember what happened last night; my head's throbbing like crazy!! 

I throw the covers off of me and struggle to stand up on my feet. After I catch my balance, I slowly walk downstairs to see Eric cooking something.

REESE: (tired) "Eric?"

ERIC: "Oh, morning Reese. You're awake!"

REESE: "What, what time is it?"

ERIC: "Almost Noon. I'm making a late brunch. Sit down."

REESE: (sits down)

ERIC: "Here." (hands breakfast)

REESE: "What happened last night??"

ERIC: "Oh, well, we went to a club and you got so wasted it was hilarious!" (laughs)

REESE: "You think that's funny? I feel like crap."

ERIC: "Sorry, haha. You can really party your butt off."

REESE: "What are we doing today?"

ERIC: "I was thinking of just cruisin' the city. What'd you say?"

REESE: "Okay, let me get dressed." (smiles and goes upstairs)

__ Eric's POV __

Last night was crazy... I didn't know Reese could party hard. Now I got her in the palm of my hand ;)

__ Gia's POV __

*after class*

GIA: "You wanna hang out with me, Raven and the guys today? They were going to the studio tonight."

NICOLE: "No thanks. I have a date with Roger, remember?"

GIA: "Oh... right."

NICOLE: "Plus I have dance class, so TTYL! Muah!" (leaves)

I don't know what's gotten into Nicole lately smh. I just hope she doesn't get hurt.

RAVEN: "Hey Gia, you ready?"

GIA: "Yeah. Nicole can't come though. She's busy with Roger again."

RAVEN: "Are you serious?! Wow... well what about Reese?"

GIA: "Haven't seen her since yesterday."

RAVEN: (worried) "I need to call her; she's my sister. I can't let anything happen to her..."

__ Nicole's POV __

I'm tired of people doggin' me and being all up in my business. I definitely DON'T need that smh.... anyways, off to this dance class looking cute as always. Time to show out!

I walk in the college's dance studio and see all these girls warming up. Ew, there's this ratchet looking girl that could lose some pounds haha. I think she came to the wrong class...

RATCHET THICK GURL: "Hi."

NICOLE: (stretching) "Hi..."

RATCHET THICK GURL: "Can't wait to see the dance routine!"

NICOLE: "Mhmm."

CHOREOGRAPHER: "OK girls. Line up and show me what you got."

We all did our own little thing in front of the teacher, then she told us to spread out to learn the dance routine. I was by the overweight ratchet girl of course -_-

CHOREOGRAPHER: "5,6,7,8!!"

RATCHET THICK GURL: (dances and steps on Nicole's feet) "My bad."

CHOREOGRAPHER: "Again, GO!"

RATCHET THICK GURL: (bumps into Nicole & knocks her down)

NICOLE: "AHH! Ugh, I've had it CHUNKY; stop steppin' on my feet!"

RATCHET THICK GURL: "Excuse me? Who you calling chunky?"

NICOLE: "YOU! Imma need you to stop stepping on my feet, I don't play that. If you can't dance, get out of this class!"

CHOREOGRAPHER: "WHOA, STOP IT GIRLS!"

RATCHET THICK GURL: "You don't know me honey; and I dance better than you!"

NICOLE: "Yeah maybe if you were in a wrestling match you'd definitely win, 'cause you'd knock all the girls down!"

RATCHET THICK GURL: "You got a problem with me? DO SOMETHING!" (cracks her knuckles)

NICOLE: "HAHA!! Y'all see this chick thinkin' she bad? Do something, PRECIOUS!" (laughing)

RATCHET THICK GURL: (knocks out Nicole in one punch) ...

__ Bryan's POV __

Nice day so far. My classes went really well. I'm heading to drop off this note from my mom to one of her friends that works in the university nurse office... Wait, that looks like Nicole sitting in the waiting room.

BRYAN: "Nicole! What happened 0_0"

NICOLE: "A fat chick happened..."

BRYAN: "Huh??"

NICOLE: "In dance class this chunky chick was messing me up, bumping all into me, so I went IN on her! Unfortunately, I didnt win." (frowns)

BRYAN: "Oh wow... why are you being rude though? That's not cute."

NICOLE: "The chick deserved it, shoot."

BRYAN: (rolls eyes) "Whatever man. Your eye looks mega swole. Can I help--"

NICOLE: "NO! Just leave me alone Bryan."

BRYAN: "Tuh... aight. Well... are you coming to the studio tonight? We're gonna be practicing here in their studio."

NICOLE: "I can't, sorry."

BRYAN: "...okay, well... get well Nicole. Bye." (leaves)

I hope Nicole's eye heals up. Even though it seems like she kinda deserved it, I still wanna see her well...

__ Reese's POV __

Spent the whole day with Eric. I skipped my classes too, but I don't care. Now we're getting something to eat.

ERIC: "This burger is good! How's your pizza?"

REESE: "Great!" (eating) 

ERIC: "You sure you gonna eat that whole pizza?!"

REESE: "Yep, it's all mine too."

ERIC: "Lemme get one little taste! (tries to get a slice)

REESE: "Heck no! Stop Eric." (giggles)

ERIC: "Greedy butt." (laughs along)

REESE: (phone rings) "Hello?... hey, Raven. I'm fine just chill ok?... I said I'm fine, I'm with Eric... No! I'm staying here and I'm enjoying myself... whatever Rae, calm down. Be there later. Bye." (hangs up)

ERIC: "Who was that?"

REESE: "My nosy sister Raven. She talkin' about she mad 'cause I've been M.I.A. and whatever. I told her to get over it. This my life, ya know?"

ERIC: "Yeah, my brother is like that. He's like 'stop partying all the dang time Eric you better than that', but he parties with his multiple girlfriends all the time." (shakes his head)

REESE: "Wow haha, at least we got somethin' in common."

ERIC: "What?"

REESE: "Stupid siblings."

__ Raven's POV __

Just called Reese and I cannot believe she's hanging with that boy. I oughtta slap the sense into her smh. Anyway, I'm heading to the studio to hang with B5. I even baked them some cookies :)

*in the studio*

RAVEN: "Anybody here?"

MALE VOICE: (behind her)"Hey, how you doin'?"

RAVEN: (turns around) "Dustin! I'm good, how are you?"

DUSTIN: "I'm great. You chillin' with us tonight?"

RAVEN: "Yep!"

DUSTIN: "Cool, this should be fun."

KELLY: "Yo, hey Raven."

RAVEN: "Hey Kelz! Where's everyone else?"

KELLY: "Carnell and Patrick are still in class, but they should be here soon. Bryan's getting some water from the vending machine."

RAVEN: "Okay."

KELLY: "Is Gia coming?"

RAVEN: "You know it; she can't wait to see you again."

DUSTIN: "Aww, how sweet." (with a teasing chuckle)

KELLY: "Shut up, D." (chuckles)

GIA: (walks in) "Hey guys!"

KELLY: "Gia! We were just talking about you."

DUSTIN: "Actually KELLY was just talkin' about you." (grins)

GIA: "Cool." (grins)

RAVEN: "Nicole still not coming?"

GIA: "Nope, what about Reese?"

RAVEN: "That girl ain't coming. She's apparently been missing classes; I don't know what's wrong with her." (shaking her head, sitting down)

DUSTIN: "Whoa what's wrong with Reese?" (sits down)

RAVEN: "I don't know, but I don't like it."

BRYAN: (walks in) "What's up, fam?"

EVERYONE: "Hey Bryan!"

BRYAN: "Yo, can ya'll believe I just saw Nicole in the nurse's office with a swollen eye? Some girl in her dance class punched her 'cause she kept messing up or whatever..."

GIA: "Oh my gosh, really?"

KELLY: "That's crazy."

RAVEN: "Is she ok?!"

BRYAN: "Yeah, I mean she told me to leave so I couldn't really ask her anything else." (sigh)

RAVEN: "Ughh, too much. Let me change the subject. I brought some cookies that I baked, y'all wanna try some?" 

BRYAN: "YES." (takes cookies)

KELLY: "Greedy."

DUSTIN: "Well, let's start recording now. Carnell and Patrick can record their verse when they come..."

KELLY: "Aight."

GIA: "This should be fun."

*Later*

__ Gia's POV __

So far "B5" was having a good recording session. I feel so special hearing them sing in person and watching their recording process. When Kelly was finished recording his verse, we both chilled outside of the studio.

KELLY: "So, how you like it?"

GIA: "You guys sound good!" (big smile)

KELLY: "Well, thank you. So, how's college life?"

GIA: "Stressful, but it's good I have my girls with me."

KELLY: "I hear you have all A's?"

GIA: "Yep, since kindergarten." (chuckles)

KELLY: "Sweet. (chuckles) Pretty and smart."

GIA: (blushing) "What about you? Did you have good grades in school?"

KELLY: "Psh, let's just say I did enough to pass."

GIA: "What was your fave subject?"

KELLY: "Math was actually easy for me so, probably that."

GIA: "Cool haha."

[awkward silence]

KELLY: "What's that on your back?"

GIA: "What?"

KELLY: "A note on your back." (takes sticky note off)

GIA: "Oh, um, this girl in my class probably did that. She was... being funny I guess."

KELLY: "It says 'loser'..."

GIA: (shy) "Yeah, well, it is what it is..."

KELLY: "No it's not. You're not a loser Gia. Has she been messing with you?"

GIA: "A little, but it's whatever; people been messing with me since I was little."

KELLY: "Well that's not fair. What did you ever do to them?"

GIA: "I guess they're jealous 'cause I'm a teacher's pet? I don't know. I mean I AM a loser so--"

KELLY: (mad) "STOP! Stop downing yourself, Gia, you're more than that. And if people can't appreciate what you have to offer then forget them! You don't deserve to be bullied for anything..."

GIA: "....."

KELLY: (sighs) "Look, I was bullied once for something stupid. 'Cause i wouldn't fight this dude at my school... kids were calling me wimp, coward, gay just cause of it. I was mad too, but I told my bros and my mom, and they told the school and eventually the kid got in trouble. You shouldn't be silent about bullying."

GIA: (tearing up) "I'm sorry..."

KELLY: "Don't cry, Gia..."(comforts her)

GIA: (crying in his arms)

KELLY: (kisses her  temple) "Just know that I'll always be here when you need me."

GIA: "Thanks..."

It feels good to have someone who really cares about you. I can't believe I actually cried in front of Kelly though... but I know that I can rely on him for whatever now. I really do like him.
