Chapter 1-All Alone

Tecna sat at her desk, trying to finish her homework. It was getting harder to concentrate because of the increasing sounds in the dorm. Musa was practicing her guitar right there in the same room, Stella was in the other room singing (she was practicing for the concert at Red Fountain in a couple weeks), and Layla was blasting her music practicing some dance routines. Sometimes Tecna couldn't believe her friends. It was like she was the only one who cared about her grades. They were all too busy always worrying about their boyfriends, and now this concert. A concert is a one time deal, but grades are forever. You can't go back and change a test, and school is the way you learn and are able to see the world. Tecna didn't want to screw up her grades for a one time deal. However, she wasn't all about grades and school, she did have a personal life. She had great friends, a great friend that was a boy that understood her love for technology, and she did get very high grades. Then why did she feel so alone all the time? It never used to be that way, but it seemed like ever since the beginning of that school year she had felt really alone. Tecna thought of all these things while doing her advanced math homework, and she just couldn't stand being in the dorm anymore. She needed to concentrate so she could finish the homework and actually get what she was doing. Tecna stood up, closed her book and notebook, shoved them into her bag, and left the room. Musa didn't even notice her leaving. Tecna was getting used to this. Musa didn't seem to notice much about Tecna anymore like she used to, it was almost like they just slept in the same room and that was it. They used to tell each other everything from boys to the current music. It was like she had been replaced as Musa's best friend in the past semester at Alfea. Tecna knew she shouldn't be thinking these thoughts though, so she stopped herself as she reached the library.

After 2 hours of sitting in the library doing all her homework and catching up on some reading, Tecna decided she should get back to the room. She was going to have an online chat with Timmy that night and she didn't want to miss it. She had a crush on Timmy, and she was pretty sure he liked her in the same way, yet their relationship was nothing more than a friendship. Tecna didn't want it to be that way, but she didn't want to take the first move. What if Timmy really did only want a friendship and she would just make a fool of herself by taking the first step? Tecna didn't want to face that kind of rejection, so she hoped that Timmy would eventually get it and ask her on a date, and kiss her. As she walked back into her room she noticed that everything was really quiet. She checked Flora and Bloom's room and they were both already asleep. Stella was nowhere to be found, and as she walked past Layla's room, she heard voices coming from inside of it.

"I don't know what to do Layla! I want to tell my dad about Riven, but he will totally freak out after he sees him. When I was little he would freak out about me playing with a boy in nursery school, what if he finds out about my relationship with Riven?" Musa said, sounding really upset.

"Well then don't tell him! If you think he is going to be super mad it is just best for him not to know." Layla said. Tecna could see them through the small crack between the doors. She knew she shouldn't be eavesdropping like that, but how else would she get any information about Musa's current life? Musa didn't tell her anything anymore.



"He has to find out sooner or later! I mean, I know Riven and I are on shaky grounds half the time, but I think that I really love him, and I can't hide those kinds of feelings from my own father! I just feel wrong about lying, even if we aren't official yet." Musa said, still not comforted by Layla's words.

"Don't worry Musa, everything will work out. Sooner or later Riven will realize you're a great girl and that he loves you. Your father will accept it too in time, because you're his daughter and he loves you for who you are." Layla said. Tecna saw the two walk up to each other and hug. Musa wiped a tear away from her eye.

"Thanks Layla, I'm so glad you're here for me, I couldn't tell anyone else this kind of stuff." Musa said as she got away from the hug. Tecna was shocked at her last statement. Who was the person who listened to Musa's problems last year? It certainly wasn't Layla, and Tecna felt like crying. Was she really that underappreciated with the winx club girls? She hoped she wasn't, and that it was only Musa. But still, Musa is still her roommate and was once her BFF, and she couldn't believe how alone she felt now. Tecna ran into her room, and grabbed her lap top. She signed onto her messenger and Timmy was already online. She really needed to talk to someone about how she was feeling, and Timmy was the only person she could think of who would listen.

Tecnodragon1217: Hi Timmy. Can I talk to you about something?"

Robobot14: Sure you can!

Tecnodragon1217: Well, I am just feeling really down because Musa was talking to Layla about stuff, and she said that she couldn't tell anyone else, yet I was the one who always comforted her last year, and now we don't talk that much at all.

Tecna felt really weird opening up this much to Timmy, and she hoped he didn't mind her sharing her feelings.

Robobot14: Well I'm not sure what to say, but I'm always here for you Tecna.

Tecna wasn't totally comforted by his response, but she was glad that he was there for her. She could trust him with a lot of stuff. Right now, she was closer friends with him than with the winx girls.

Tecnodragon1217: Thanks Timmy. So how has your day gone?

Robobot14: Well, I worked on more of my Robo Bot model 14 and that was about it besides school. Everyone here is getting ready for the concert next week, it's crazy!

Tecnodragon1217: Same here, well at least my roomies. I'm just doing school work and stuff, the usual. Cool! I can't wait to see it race!

Robobot14: Me either, I'm so glad you'll come and be my assistant, since none of the guys want to, and I don't think they could handle it either. Lol.

Tecnodragon1217: Lol. I don't think so either. Well I should be getting to bed now. Goodnight Timmy.



Robobot14: Night Tecna! Sweet dreams!

Tecna signed off and got ready for bed. She walked into her room and Musa was already in her bed and looked like she was asleep. Tecna walked out onto the balcony, and stared at the moon. It was shining brightly all over the grounds, and Tecna admired it. Even if she didn't feel welcome with the winx girls, she knew she had one close friend in the world, and that was Timmy. She just wished her feelings for him romantically would go away. She signed and walked back inside, closing the doors behind her. She crawled under her covers and slowly drifted off to sleep.

I hope everyone enjoyed the first chapter! Thanks for reading!
