Shay and I are studying for finals. In a few weeks, my second year of college will end and I can finally get a break from all the homework my professors have bombarded me with. Shay and I actually share a dorm, so if one of us get stuck, then the other is there to help. The room wasn't too big. There was enough room for two twin-sized beds, two nightstands, two desks, a TV stand with a TV, and two dressers. The whole room was decorated with purple things; like picture frames, office supplies, etc. We have pictures of all our friends from high school and our family decorating our nightstands and desks. We have a small bookshelf sitting next to the TV stand. Somehow Shay's Twilight books managed to make it to the shelf along with my Harry Potter books. The carpet is beige and the walls, since we couldn't paint them, were a light blue. So, we stuck a bunch of posters on the barren walls and put purple bedspreads on the beds. All the purple though reminded me of something, but I can never remember what it is. Right now, I'm trying to stave off boredom by trying to read one of my textbooks. Only I'm failing epically at it, because my eyes keep going unfocused. "Shay, I'm bored." She rolled her eyes at me.

"You're always bored."

"Yeah, but this is different than my usual bored. I'm bored with studying."

"Then go out and take a walk or something."

"But it's almost midnight." I pointed out as I leaned back in my chair and turned to look at her. She was sitting on her bed in the middle of open textbooks. "And I feel like my brain is melting."

"Then walk around in the hallway." She said sighing.

"You should take a break too. Besides, I know you're hungry. I can hear your stomach growling from over here."

She stuck her tongue out at me. "Fine, let's go get some food then and take a break." She said getting off of her bed after moving a few textbooks. I stood up and stretched.

"Alright!" I said grinning.

"You were hungry too, weren't you?"

"Of course!" She shook her head, smiling. We ended up getting snacks from the vending machine in the dorm lobby. We would've gone to Taco Bell, but it wasn't open this late. When we got back to our room, for the first time in a long time, I looked at my bag; like really looked at it. I've had it since high school and for some reason, I've always kept it. I spotted something on my bag that I don't remember ever seeing there before. "Hey, Shay. Do you remember where I got this?" I asked picking up my bag and showing her the button.

She frowned. "How should I know? You always collect stuff."

"Yeah, but I usually remember the things I collect."

"Well, it's not my fault you forget stuff."

I stuck my tongue out at her. "Whatever," I said sitting down at my desk. I sat the bag down on the floor next to me and started munching on my snacks. Shay yawned.

"We should call it a night after we finish eating. We can study tomorrow."

I nodded. "Yeah, I'm starting to get tired." After eating my snacks, I put a few of my text books into my bag. After shutting it, I went to sit back up straight and as I did, I ended up pushing on the button. Why am I so self-conscious of the button? Maybe I should just get rid of this bag. It's so old and it's falling apart. I thought as I finally made it to my bed. I couldn't keep my mind off the button though. I feel like I'm forgetting something. I put my pajamas on, I turned out the lights on my side of the room, I threw my trash away... what am I forgetting? Soon though, I stop thinking all together and fall asleep.

When I woke up again, I heard strangely familiar voices; like I hadn't heard them in years. I finally opened my eyes and it all came back. Why am I in the sand? "Because you're at First Beach, but I thought you would've figured that out by now, Brat." Sparkles said catching my attention. I sat up, my back aching.

"You know what? Just shut up, Sparkles." He glared at me. I rolled my eyes and started to shake Shay.

"Just five more minutes..." She murmured, turning over. Then I had an idea.

"Shay, wake up!" I yelled in her ear. She screamed and sat up quickly.

"What the hell was that for Pyper!?"

I smirked. "Think of it as pay back for a few days ago."

"That's a bad word, Mommy." We looked over and saw that it was Jade who said that.

"Oh, you're right. Sorry..." Shay said as she seemed to have finally recalled everything.

"Well, now that everyone knows what's going on, can we move this party along now?" Sparkles asked rolling his eyes. What party? "Jade's party. You seriously need to get it together."

"You know, it's rude to just leave people sleeping in the sand. What if I caught a cold?"

"That would be impossible, with you being half vampire." Carlisle said smiling. I sighed.

"Way to poke a hole in my fun, Carlisle."

He chuckled. "I'm sorry." I shrugged and looked around. I saw that Sam and the rest of the wolf pack were surrounding the perimeter of the party.

"Wow, I see everyone's getting along."

"Yeah because we totally want to be here." Paul said sneering at me. I rolled my eyes.

"Then go home then and be done with it. It's not like we're murdering people for the hell of it."

"Pyper!" Esme said scowling. "You're being really rude!"

"Sorry, Mama, but I just went to sleep and got interrupted. So I don't have to be nice." She stared at me like I had three heads. "What?"

"You just called her Mama." Shay said giving me the same look.

"So? I'm tired, leave me alone."

"You're always tired. What kind of excuse is that?"

"Well, I'm hungry. Where's the food in this joint?"

"You're always hungry," Right as Shay said this, Paul points to a table full of food. Yay! Food! And I pretty much just walk off. "Hey! I'm talking to you!"

"Well, I'm eating. You can keep on talking if you want to." She just rolled her eyes, huffed, and walked away. "Now you're the one walking away."

"I'm not talking to you right now!"

"I think you made her mad." Paul said standing right next to me.

"Nah, she's just all flowers and rainbows over there." Now, he huffed and walked away. "Dude, what's with everyone walking away?"

"You're just being a brat." Sparkles said rolling his eyes.

"No more than usual."

"Whatever you say, Brat, whatever you say." I stuck my tongue out at him. "So mature."

"That's me!"
