I should step away from Stella & Brandon shouldn't I? Well, I suppose I should.

Chapter 1

Flora rushed down the hallway, she had her books in her hands, hair in a ponytail, and purse on her shoulder. She wasn't ready for the finals…they just appeared on her calendar! Her jeans were falling off her hips, but she carefully pulled them up keeping her pace. She was going to be late if she didn't hurry! There were other girls, too hurrying across the halls to their classes. Maybe their calendars had played tricks on them, too. Flora smiled when she saw her classroom door, it was wide open which meant she still had time to get in.

SLAM!

The door was shut by Palladium. Flora ran over to it, her smile gone. She put her free hand on the door and smacked the class to let him know she was there. But Griselda was sitting at his desk, a smirk on her face.

"PleaseGriseldaletmeinIneedtotakemytest!" Was all they heard Flora say through the glass. She sighed to herself when Griselda showed her the board.

The door closes at 9 AM sharp. Anyone who doesn't show up when the door is open will not be allowed to take their finals. They may go see Ms. Faragonda for make up days.

The writing was not of Palladium who mouthed, "I'm so sorry." But of Griselda, who seemed rather pleased with herself. She peeked into the classroom and saw Musa and Tecna. Layla, Stella, and Bloom had other morning classes. Flora pulled her sweater down over her belly and headed to the office with every other girl who was late.

"You, too?" One girl asked another. She had pink buns all over her head. The girl with purple hair nodded and mumbled something about over sleeping.

"What about you?" A blond asked Flora as they turned a corner.

"I didn't notice it was on my calendar. I must have skimmed it the past few days." Explained the flower fairy. "It's a shame, though. It's not like my life is filled with anything exciting after what happened with Baltor, you know what I mean?"

"Don't you have a boyfriend?" Asked the blond. Flora shrugged.

"He and I had a falling out. I'm single now." She said. The others nodded, and the office was in full view. "I'm just hoping I can make this thing up ASAP." Flora and the others walked up to the big green doors and took a seat inside the office where Ms. Faragonda was reading the paper and drinking her coffee.

"Good morning girls." She said all happy like. "It seems Griselda's new rule has taken a toll on you. Ha, I know how you feel. I thought it was an awful rule! But she said it would add structure to the school. You know how she is about that." Laughed Faragonda. The others smiled and took some coffee as well. Faragonda looked at Flora and shook her head.

"But I wouldn't except you of all fairies to be here, Flora. What caused you to be late? Late night?" Asked Ms. F. Flora set her coffee down and straightened out her sweater.

"I didn't notice my calendar said the finals were today. I was just a bit rushed this morning." Flora explained. Faragonda nodded.

"I have about six tests here in the office. I'll take you girls down to the auditorium, and you can do them there." Faragonda took the group of six to the auditorium, where they began their tests.

Name Flora

1. Do you have your Enchantix? If so, how long have you had it?I have had my Enchantix for seven months.

2. What is one ingredient in making a banishing potion? One ingredient to make a banishing potion would be Dog Bush Leaves.

The test seemed unusually easy to Flora, but she didn't mind. All the better to get it done. It only took her an hour to finish, but when she was done, she was told to go and have some fun. She really needed it. Flora picked up her purse and her books and headed to the dorm. Once Flora arrived everyone was already getting ready to go to the mall. Bloom was in a nice sweater, a pair of capris, and some cute boots.

Stella was wearing a green dress with her bangs pinned back, Musa was in a jean skirt and band tee shirt with her hair straightened, Tecna was in a nice pair of jeans and a wife beater, while Layla put her hair in pigtails and was in cameo shorts and a cream tank. Flora looked too drab to hang out with her fashion buds and blushed. Stella looked her way when the door closed and gasped.

"Flora! What on Earth are you wearing?" She asked running over to her friend in her three-inch heels.

"I was in a hurry this morning. I didn't really care what I wore as long as I got to the finals." Said Flora. Musa looked at her,

"You didn't, though." She said. Flora shook her head.

"I did, too. Ms. Faragonda let me take the test in the auditorium with five other girls." Said Flora, smiling at herself because she got them done. She looked around the room again, and no one seemed to care about the trouble she had that morning. Stella took Flora's wrist and dragged her to the closet.

"We're going to the mall and honestly I don't want to be seen with someone wearing that." Stella commented racking the closet for outfits. Flora just watched. She felt her self esteem lower about seven points just watching and listening to Stella and the others who didn't seem to care. No one did after her and Helia had the falling out. Before that, though, it was like everyone cared. They paid attention and talked to Flora instead of nodding and then dragging her to change.

"How about this?" Stella asked holding up a pink sundress. Flora didn't even have to open her mouth, because Stella knocked it herself. "It's too…I don't know…too…ew for you, Flora." Said Stella. Finally after much thought and many outfits, Stella picked one. It was a pair of jean capris and a light green wife beater that said "Most Likely To Save The Planet". Her shoes were pink like the lettering in the shirt, and cute. After Flora got dressed, Stella pulled her hair into a nice ponytail and straightened it.

"Fabulous!" Stella exclaimed looking at Flora after doing her make-up. "We are now ready for the eyes of the boys." And that's where they went. They went to Café De Lunch, to meet up with the RF boys. Flora took a seat at the large table with the Winx Club, as the boys walked in. Stella and Bloom waved at Sky and Brandon to lead the others over.

"Hey girls." Sky said taking a seat across from Bloom. "You all look lovely." Helia looked at Flora and cleared his throat.

"I think I'm going to eat outside. Much nicer." He said leaving. Flora put her hand on her forehead as her elbow rested on the table. Is this what she was doomed to? Never to have a boyfriend again or even talk to an ex because he felt uncomfortable? Riven looked over at Flora and shook his head, like he knew Helia was being a jerk. That's odd, never thought I'd use that sentence before.

Musa headed outside, too. She didn't want to sit with Riven…for…they had a fight over seeing Musa's dad. Flora took a peek outside the window and found Musa and Helia holding hands across the table. Musa was crying, mouthing something like,

"I can't believe he wouldn't want to see my dad, Helia." She sobbed; Musa's dad was a sore spot. Musa flicked her hair out of her face and looked up at the guy in front of her. He was way better then Riven. More in touch with his feelings, which was the kind of thing Musa needed right now with her dad sick. "He just doesn't understand."

"I understand, Musa. If you'd like we could go see you father today." Said Helia squeezing the musical fairy's hand. Musa smiled and blew her nose in a tissue. Flora watched all of this from the inside, feeling her insides crumbling.

"Oh, Brandon! How romantic!" Stella shouted making Flora pay attention. There was a diamond necklace on her neck, and she kissed Brandon after looking at herself in the mirror. She was all smiles, and so was her boyfriend.

"Stella, it's so beautiful!" Bloom added in. Flora cracked a smile as Stella showed everyone at the table. Well, everyone smiled but Riven.

"It looks fake." Riven said leaning back. "Brandon probably only spent three dollars on it." Riven added. Brandon got up and in Riven's face.

"I spent a chunk of change on that thing, Riven. But you wouldn't know because you spend all day mobbing around the door repeating Flora's name out loud." Brandon spat. Riven grew angry as well, and pushed Brandon back. Brandon punch Riven, who now had a bloody lip, Riven punch Brandon who now had a bloody nose, and so on. Flora watched, wishing they would stop.

"Please, stop!" She shouted getting in the middle. Brandon was throwing a punch and it hit Flora. She looked blankly at him, but then fell into Riven's arms. Brandon looked at his fist and what he had done. That was so not him.

"Oh my gosh! Flora!" Layla shouted looking at the limp fairy in Riven's arms. She had a bloody lip and swollen cheek. Layla looked at Brandon.

"What are you waiting for? Call 9-1-1!" She shouted. Riven looked at Flora. Her eyes were closed and her face was swollen. Even in the middle of a fight she's still sweet and beautiful... if only I could tell her. Riven thought.
