"…Blossom. BLOSSOM." The redhead looking out the window snapped out of her daze and quickly swung her head toward the voice that was speaking to her. An agitated brunette stood before her, arms crossed in front of her chest.

"I've been talking to you for a solid two minutes. Have you even heard a single word I've said?" Blossom fixated her pink eyes on the textbook in front of her and made a guess at what she had missed.

"Uhm, it was something about the test on Friday, right?" The brunette rolled her eyes so heavily that Blossom thought they would roll right out of her head. She realized that this was the incorrect answer and sighed before speaking again.

"I'm sorry Tara! It's just that I've been a bit…distracted lately." Tara pouted for a minute, but then tossed a smile at Blossom. She shrugged her shoulders and continued with the story that she had been telling the daydreaming girl before. Something about the upcoming social event, some party something-or-other, but that wasn't really Blossom's scene, and she didn't really care. So she just grinned and nodded accordingly at the girl.

"So you'll come?" Tara finished, gazing at her expectantly. She shook her head.

"I've got some studying to do…" She spoke quietly, knowing that she was blowing off a chance to make friends, again. She was the student body president, and yet she had managed to alienate herself from most all of the student body. Tara maintained her smile but shook her head.

"I swear brainiac, if you don't ace this test, I'm taking you partying, and you can't say no." Blossom giggled slightly as Tara walked away, knowing that she would, in fact, ace the test. She always did, because she was incredibly intelligent. She opened her textbook to the study material and continued to study anyway, retaining every bit of knowledge she picked up.


"Hey Tarrrraaa!" Tara smiled as the girl sat on the edge of her desk. She was adorned in her cheerleading uniform, a black cheer dress decorated with maroon outlining and a peppy hair bow with a matching pattern, as was custom on days that their school had a football game.

"Hey Bubbles, what's up?" Bubbles grinned at her and tipped her head to one side, her blonde ponytail going with the sway.

"So, I heard you're having a party? And well, Jake and I are looking for somewhere to go after the football game. I mean, that is, unless you don't want to invite us?" Bubbles practically sang every syllable of her sentence. Tara shook her head rapidly.

"Of course you two are invited! You're like, the most popular people in school. I figured it was just a given!" The two girls smiled at each other, onlookers enraptured by their combined beauty. They gabbed about the random goings on of their high school until a masculine voice erupted from the classroom door.

"Hey, is mi novia here?" The boy that walked in was the quarterback of the school's football team, senior Jake Martinez. The peppy blonde cheerleader let out a small squeal as her sparkly red shoes hit the floor and she flounced over to her boyfriend.

"J Bear!" She said, jumping up and wrapping her arms around his neck. He returned the hug and grinned at her before speaking.

"I came to give you my jersey. Y'know, for luck." He pulled the jersey out of his bag as she released him, and dropped it on her head. As Bubbles pulled the jersey off of her head and out of her eyes, she saw that Jake was already on his way out the door.

"Love you!" She exclaimed, clutching the jersey. He didn't even turn his head when he responded,

"Yeah…you too babe."


"Okay everybody, study period is now over. Be safe on your way home." The teacher currently advising the study hall period spoke. This one was one of the older ones, with the very obvious wear-and-tear of her years of teaching. Blossom wondered if that was how she would look when she was older. Grey and sad. A voice brought her to her current reality once more.

"Hey Blossom…I have cheer practice for about an hour today, so go on and go home alone. I'll get a ride home afterward, okay?" Bubbles spoke to her sister, bag strung over her shoulder and her pompoms resting on top of it. The redhead smiled softly at her sister and nodded.

"Sure thing Bubbles. Have fun at practice." With that, the peppy blonde ran off toward her waiting friends, ready to give it her all, as usual. Blossom exhaled deeply, momentarily envying her social butterfly of a sister. She shook her head, trying to forget the negative feeling that she was currently exerting, and gathered her books. She nearly dropped them on the floor as her cellphone vibrated in the pocket of her acid-washed jeans. Finishing putting the books in her bag, she pulled her phone out and swiped the screen to read the message that had just come through.

"Hey Red. The jerk vice principal gave me detention. I'll c u the game?"

Blossom sighed when she read the text from her sister. Going to the football game had not been her plan for that evening. Nevertheless, she had to make sure her sister got a safe ride home after her detention, so she quickly replied "Sure.", and headed toward her car.


Okay, that's all for this chapter. Sorry it's so short! Please review~!
