I hope you guys enjoy this chapter… I don't know if It'll be a very good one… Oh well, I try!

I DO NOT OWN GORJBAND!

Anyways, enjoy!

For the next two hours, Laney and Corey competed in video games. Corey (as always) bragged about being the best, but (also, as always) Laney won. Eventually, Laney got too tired and decided to go to sleep. Corey eventually fell asleep as well, on the chair in Laney's room.

The following morning, Corey woke up before Laney had. He stood up and looked over at her bed, where she slept. Corey smiled. 'Lanes, my little Laney. She always looked so tiny and helpless.' He thought to himself before turning around and leaving her room. 'I know she likes me… And I do like her, but I can't think about her that way. It's not like she's mine or anything…'

-LATER THAT DAY, BEFORE THE PARTY-

Laney, who was in an intense moment, put the last pin into her hair. Corey suggested that she wore her hair straight, at its full length tonight, and she didn't want to let him down. In fact, she wanted to impress him. Laney had straightened her hair so it would stay straight all night, and she crimped her side bangs, which she pinned back a bit so the wave in it was going down the side of her head. She checked her watch. 'Good. Thirty minutes to spare.' She thought, looking in the mirror. She twirled around, making sure her black and green polka-dot dress looked okay at every angle. She kept the same colors to her clothes most of the time, but today she wore black leggings underneath her short dress instead of red ones. Laney still wanted to feel comfortable that night, so she wore her black combat boots, too.

Corey put his hat back on. For tonight, he decided to brush his hair. He told himself that he wanted to impress Laney, but deep down he wanted Carrie to like him, too. The blue-haired boy wore the same clothes he always did, assuming that no one was dressing up just to hang out. Corey wanted to go with Laney (so that he wouldn't arrive alone). He walked to Laney's house and waited outside for her. After about three minutes, Laney stepped outside and carefully walked down the stairs to the sidewalk where Corey waited. "Lanes, dress?" He asked, motioning to her clothing. She blushed. "Yeah, I wanted to try out this dress." Corey nodded, "It looks nice, don't worry." He smiled at her, and she smiled back. 'Wow, she actually listened to me and wore her hair down. It's longer than I remember it being. Ever since that one kid in fourth grade told her her hair was gross, she pinned it up.' Corey thought before looking away and blushing, realizing that he was staring at her.

After a few more awkward seconds, Corey put out his hand. Laney blushed lightly and grabbed onto his hand, and they walked together to Carrie's house. When they got there, Corey saw Carrie looking out the window, so he dropped Laney's hand and knocked on the door. Laney was smiling, but she became rather disappointed when Corey dropped her hand and fixed his hair when he saw Carrie. The blue haired girl opened the door, letting Corey in. Carrie greeted them with a smile, and let Corey in. Once Corey had entered the house, she let go of the door, leaving Laney behind. She frowned and walked into Carrie's rather large home. 'Wait a minute… Carrie was actually my friend a few days ago. Is it me being close to Corey thats making her ignore me?' Laney thought, looking around the main room. Carrie, who was dressed in a (What Laney would describe as 'ugly') white shirt and a black skirt. Corey obviously approved of her outfit, because he was smiling and complimenting her. Noticing Laney was alone, Larry walked up to her and smiled. "You got all dressed up, huh?" He said, examining her dress. She blushed and looked down at herself, embarrassed. "Yeah… But Corey doesn't really pay any attention to me." Laney said with a sigh. Larry smiles, "I like your dress, you know."

"Don't you like Carrie?" Laney said, grinning at Larry.

"Yeah, and I hate Corey for getting in-between the two of us."

"I can say the same for Carrie, actually,"

"Wanna go talk about it?"

"Sure."

I don't know how to end that chapter sorry xD

So, Grojfans, leave some feedback! I love it when people give me suggestions.

I might take from the first story a bit and add some LaneyxLarry, but this is mostly a Corrie and Corney story.

Until the next chapter!
