Saturday...

It's the day of the College Campus Party and the entire student body is excited! There are tables and booths set up outside in the main square for visitors and students. Tents for each club are also set up with tons of papers and brochures for curious observers. 

There's a massive food area set in the middle of all the greenery with hot dogs, hamburgers, steak, ribs, sub sandwiches, corndogs, chips, french fries, steamed vegetables, chinese food, tacos, burritos, asian cuisine, shrimp, spaghetti, soup, salads, lemonade, soda, water, chocolate cake, cookies, empanadas -- EVERYTHING you could imagine eating was available.

Chairs were set up for those who don't prefer sitting on the grass. Luckily, it was a nice day. The sun was shining ever so brightly, blinding those who dared to challenge it in a staring contest. There were no clouds in the sky, and there was a slight breeze.

It's only been one hour since the party has begun, but the campus is already filled with students. B5 are inside a dorm cafeteria, eating breakfast. They are with their manager Jim, talking about the days events.

JIM: "Eat up boys. You'll need the energy for today."

PATRICK: "I'm already on it!" (stuffs his mouth with pancakes)

KELLY: "Dang, Pat! Save some for us!"

PATRICK: "You got your own food -- eat it!"

JIM: "So, anything new happen with you guys this week? You know I haven't been able to catch up with you guys since me and my wife went on vacation."

KELLY: "Actually, a lot has come up lately..."

JIM: "Oh, really? You sound sad, what's up?"

KELLY: "Well, I kind of hooked back up with my ex and she was really cool at first, but I realized she never changed. But, uh, I'm not dealing with her anymore man... too much drama."

JIM: "Oh, that sucks. But I'm glad you're dealing with it in a mature way. What about the rest of you?"

PATRICK: "My relationship is good! The rest of them trippin'."

DUSTIN: "Yo, my girl is actually drama free! I'm enjoying my life right now."

BRYAN: "Yeah, me too." (smiles)

DUSTIN: "Lil B, you got a girl now?"

PATRICK: "Is it Nicole or Gia?"

BRYAN: "Yes, and it's Gia. I asked her out yesterday after class."

KELLY: "Dang, Bryan, I woulda never known you'd go out with Gia."

BRYAN: "What do you mean?"

KELLY: "Look, bro, imma be honest. She just seems above your level. Like, she's a straight A student, very bright, pretty, and she seems determined. She too good for you." (chuckles)

BRYAN: "That makes no sense at all, Kelly. Just shut up."

KELLY: "She actually said 'yes' to you?"

BRYAN: "YEAH. Why can't you believe it?"

KELLY: "...because you're Bryan."

JIM: "Well, at least he has a girlfriend and he's happy. Right, Bryan?"

BRYAN: "Exactly, Jim!"

PATRICK: "I heard Nicole was only using you. I never thought she'd do something like that."

BRYAN: "Very funny, Patrick."

PATRICK: "No, really! She made some mistakes before, but I thought she was tight with all of us."

KELLY: "Well, you can't trust everyone, right?"

JIM: "That's true!"

BRYAN: "Yeah, well, I wouldn't ever date her. She seems sneaky..."

A pause.

JIM: "Hey, Nellz, you're pretty quiet today. What's on your mind?"

CARNELL: "Nothing..."

PATRICK: "I know why he's mad. His girl cheated on him." (shakes his head)

JIM: "No! Really?"

CARNELL: "I don't wanna talk about it." (drinks his juice)

JIM: "I understand, kid. If you need advice, I'm here for ya."

CARNELL: "Thanks, Jim."

BRYAN: "Carnell, have you talked to Reese yet?"

CARNELL: "I don't want anything to do with her. Why should I?"

BRYAN: "Well--"

KELLY: "Well, you can still talk it out. That's usually the easiest thing to do, man"

CARNELL: "There's nothin' to talk about."

Dustin gets a phone call.

DUSTIN: "Wassup, shawty? ... Nah, we eating where you at?... Alright... yeah, we gonna perform at like noon. Yeah... Aight, cool. Hit me up when you get there. Bye." (hangs up his phone)

KELLY: "Who was that?"

DUSTIN: "Raven. She said her, Gia, and Reese were coming to see us perform on campus today."

CARNELL: "Man..."

DUSTIN: "Dude, you're gonna have to suck it up and talk to Reese. In the meantime, we should get our equipment and see if DJ RAY is here yet."

JIM: "Yeah. Alright boys, follow me."

... Over by the other side of campus. The girls are just now joining the campus party...

RAVEN: "This is gonna be so fun! It's like a huge party for all the students."

GIA: "We definitely deserve it! School is no joke..."

RAVEN: "True that!"

GIA: "Is Reese coming?"

RAVEN: "She said she was coming. Last time I checked she was still in bed. That girl been crying over Carnell since she told him that she slept with Eric." (shakes her head)

GIA: "I feel bad for her, but she knows she was wrong. I just hope they can work it out..."

RAVEN: "Maybe..."

They both get something to eat and find a table to sit down.

RAVEN: (eating) "This food is good!"

GIA: "Mhmm."

RAVEN: "Just to let you know, I might just get seconds."

GIA: "Haha, okay. When are the guys supposed to perform today?"

RAVEN: "Dustin said around noon. You excited?" (smiles big)

GIA: "Oh yes! It's gonna be amazing, I already know. I have to tell Bryan good luck before the show!" (smiling)

RAVEN: "You seem eager to see them -- or is it just Bryan?" (smirks)

GIA: "Well, I didn't tell you this last night but... Bryan asked me out yesterday."

RAVEN: "OMG! Girl, forreal?! Why didn't you tell me?"

GIA: "I didn't tell anyone. He asked me after English class, which was another treat..."

RAVEN: "Really? Tell me more, girl!"

GIA: "Yeah. We performed our skit from Romeo & Juliet; it was really good! He kissed me twice but not just any kiss. It was... really passionate, like, I can't describe it!"

RAVEN: "Oh my gosh, girl!! I'm so happy for you -- congrats!"

GIA: "Thanks." (giggles)

RAVEN: "So, when's the wedding?"

GIA: "Raven..."

RAVEN: "Just kidding!"

REESE: "Hey, guys." (walking slowly towards them)

RAVEN: "Oh, look who decided to show up. How you feeling?"

REESE: "Okay... (plops down beside Gia with a pout) I'm hungry."

RAVEN: "Then get some food."

GIA: "You look tired, Reese."

REESE: "It be like that sometimes." (takes french fry from Raven's plate)

RAVEN: "Hey! Getcha own! This is my food, okay?"

REESE: "Boo you. When do the guys perform? OH SHOOT I FORGOT!"

GIA: "At noon. And what's wrong with you?"

REESE: "I forgot I'm supposed to be performing that new song with them! Shoot!"

RAVEN: "Then why are you here?"

REESE: "I forgot! No one reminded me."

GIA: "They didn't call you?"

Raven gets a text from Dustin: "Is Reese with y'all?"

"Yea why?"

"We need her 2 come 2 the small gym."

"Ok. Is this 4 da performance?"

"Yes"

"Gotchu. I'll tell her D, bye"

REESE: "Who you texting??"

RAVEN: "Reese, meet the guys in the small gym so y'all can practice. Dustin just texted me, so go!"

REESE: "Okay, NOW they remind me! The day of the performance! Smart, real smart."

RAVEN: "Shut up and just go. You're so dramatic sometimes."

REESE: "Whatever, are y'all coming?"

GIA: "We could go to see them before they perform..." (with pleading eyes)

REESE: "Come with us, Ravey!" (mischievous smile)

RAVEN: "Alright... I'm sure the guys won't mind."

A moment later...

In the gym, B5 are stretching out on the floor. Reese, Raven, and Gia enter and they all acknowledge each other. Jim is talking to DJ RAY G, who is playing some tracks on the stage.

PATRICK: "Reese, where you been?"

REESE: "Don't gimme that, Patrick. I'm here now, okay?" (rolls eyes)

DUSTIN: "Well now that you're here, let's get to working on this rehearsal, aight? (he spots Raven) Hey babe, glad you're here."

RAVEN: "Yeah, we decided to come and watch before your performance. Maybe we'll be a good luck charm." (kisses Dustin's lips)

DUSTIN: "Aww thanks, baby."

KELLY: "Hey Gia!"

GIA: "Hi Kelly. Hey Bryan."

BRYAN: (walks over to Gia and gives her a hug) "Hey Gia, glad you could come."

GIA: "I'm glad I could make it." (smiles big)

JIM: "Girls! Nice to see you! Now, stop distracting the boys so they can practice."

RAVEN: "Haha. Okay, Jim."

LATER. . .

__ Carnell's POV __

I was disgusted to see Reese's face at rehearsal. That might sound harsh, but ever since she told me about her and Roger, I just don't know If I can be with a girl like her. I've been avoiding her glances and I haven't said a word at all during practice. I don't even know why we're performing with her!

During a short break, I walked over to where my water bottle and towel was and took a drank. Luckily, I wasn't sweating too much. Usually during rehearsals I'd be drenched in my own condensation. As I decided to sit down, Reese was walking toward me. Great. Lord please let her turn around, PLEASE!

REESE: "Good practice so far, right?"

She was standing directly in front of me with her arms crossed. Her hair was in a messy ponytail; she wore a silk shirt that showed her belly button, with some tight yoga pants revealing her perfect curves. God, why is she so beautiful? Wait. I'm supposed to be hating her right now.

REESE: "Dang Carnell. You like what you see?" (smirks)

Oh shoot! I didn't realize I was eyeballing her.

CARNELL: "Sorry, I was in a daze. Hi."

REESE: "Are you excited about the performance?" (she sits beside me)

CARNELL: "I guess."

REESE: "It's gonna be in front of the WHOLE CAMPUS! That doesn't freak you out one bit?"

CARNELL: "Nah..."

REESE: "Carnell... are-are you still mad at me for that one thing?"

CARNELL: "I'm not talking about this Reese. It's not the time, nor the place."

I get up and walk out to the open gym floor, joining the rest of my brothers.

__ Mikayla's POV __

Me and my boo thang arrived at the university for the Campus Party. I really only came here to see my boys B5 kill the stage, but I told my boo that I'd spend the day with him since he goes to this school. I'm tryna find my boo thang #2 a.k.a Kelly! I just can't resist him!

MIKAYLA: "Baby! I heard a group gonna perform in 15 minutes."

BOO THANG: "Aight. Don't you wanna eat first, babe?"

MIKAYLA: "Nah, I'll wait until after. If you hungry, you betta grab something real quick so we won't miss it!"

BOO THANG: "Okay, calm down. Come on then."

__ Gia's POV __

The boys are about to go on the stage. The performance will take place in the campus courtyard. It's such a beautiful day outside -- nothing but sun! I hope they do good, because I'm so excited for them right now! I got a text message from Nicole of all people saying that she's also gonna be here today. Woo hoo -__- She better not start any drama, because I don't have time for that.

Bryan came up behind me and whispered in my ear, "You ready?" He sent chills down my spine.

GIA: "Whoa! Stop sneaking up on people." (chuckles)

BRYAN: "Are you ready?" (chuckles)

He looked at me with the most attractive smile I've ever seen. He gets really pumped when he gets to perform for people.

GIA: "Yeah, I'm ready. Are YOU ready?"

BRYAN: "Of course! You are about to witness the most amazing thing in the universe. Even better than the Jackson 5!"

GIA: "Oh really?" (chuckles)

BRYAN: "Really!"

GIA: "Well, it looks like I'm in for a treat."

BRYAN: "You got that right." (he winks at me)

JIM: "Okay, everyone. B5 onstage right now, guys. Good luck!"

BRYAN: "Don't blink, okay Gia?"

GIA: "Okay. I won't."

He's so silly. :P

__ Nicole's POV __

B5 had just finished their performance and it wasn't too shabby as usual. I should go and say hi to the guys, but I feel like looking for my boo first. I walked out of the crowd of crazy fans and called Roger on my cell phone. When he finally answered, I asked where he was. He said he was at the campus party and I told him so was I. I told him to meet me in the lobby of the Conference building which wasn't too far from the stage that B5 just performed on. 

A few minutes later (inside the conference lobby), I saw Roger's attractive figure walk through the door. There were only a few students also talking in the lobby, but it was mostly quiet. I gave my baby a hug and a kiss!

NICOLE: "I missed you baby!"

ROGER: "I missed you too, baby."

NICOLE: "SO, where have you been? It's been crazy these days."

ROGER: "Just doing me, y'know."

NICOLE: "...we barely speak anymore, almost like you got a chick on the side or somethin'."

ROGER: (gets loud) "Look, I ain't come here to hear this, Nicole."

NICOLE: "Whoa babe, you don't needa get loud. It's just, you'd expect your boyfriend to hang out with his girl once in a while."

ROGER: "I've just been busy, aight? Look babe, I may seem like I don't care about you but I do, shawty. You da one for me, forreal."

He flashes that smile of his. I can't resist him.

NICOLE: "Okay, I believe you."

ROGER: "I know we had some good times before, but I want to prove my feelings for you, girl. Follow me."

He grabs my hand and makes me follow him up the stairs. I have no idea what's going on. He's moving really fast too, I can hardly keep up with him. 

He leads me into one of the conference rooms and quickly shuts the door. He then slammed his wet lips onto mine and started kissing all over my neck. I felt a rush within me and couldn't help but enjoy the feeling. He picked me up and wrapped my legs around his waist; suddenly I felt myself laying on a table.  Roger was undoing his belt and said "I've been waiting for this for so long." He had a scary look in his eyes. 

"Roger babe, don't do this," I said, but he kept taking off his clothes. He hopped on top of me and started having his way with me. I was so scared and confused I didn't know what to do -- so I started screaming. :(

__ Kelly's POV __

I was outside of the Conference Building talking to Mikayla. She was tellin' me how I did a good job and all that business. I didn't really feel like talking to her right now to be honest. I'd rather be inside with my bros signing autographs for people.

KELLY: "Mikki, what do you want? I said we're over, I'm sorry."

MIKAYLA: "I know... but that doesn't mean we can't be friends!--"

KELLY: "I've heard it all before! Sorry... but I'm done dealing with your drama. You only wanna be with me for the physical aspect -- you could care less about anyone else's emotions except your own. I'm through."

MIKAYLA: "You can't say goodbye to me that fast." (smirks)

Ha! She must be out of her mind.

KELLY: "Watch me, princess."

And with that, I walked back into the building and left her there looking stupid.

__ Bryan's POV __

We were all sitting at a table signing autographs for some of the students from school. Everyone was so loving and supportive of us, it was really nice! I looked out of the corner of my eye and saw Gia, Raven, and Reese standing by the wall talking. Gia caught me staring and smiled at me. I smiled back and she blushed. She's too cute. I turned back around to finish my autographs, when suddenly we heard this loud moan come out of nowhere.

BRYAN: "Did you guys hear that?"

CARNELL: "Yeah."

PATRICK: "I wonder what it was?"

"AHHHHHHHH!"

DUSTIN: "Yo, what the heck? Maybe we should check it out."

Everyone looked more alert now, Dustin was standing to his feet. One of the professors and another school employee walked up the stairwell to figure out what was wrong. Most the students had moved a little closer to the stairs as well, obviously being nosy.

"Oh my god!"

The sound of footsteps are heard. And someone is wailing uncontrollably.

"Security!" Two cops on duty run up the stairs... minutes later they are seen hand-cuffing a black dude with braids that has on nothing but underwear. WHAT? They take him outside. Then, surprisingly, Nicole emerges from the stairs being handled by the professor and manager of the building. She is crying and her clothes are all wrinkled and outta wack.

What is Nicole doing here?! And what happened?! Was she the one screaming? At this point we're all standing to our feet looking horrified and confused. Raven, Reese, and Gia run to her side and everything is crazy... 

What the hell?
