Big thanks to everyone's support on this story! I love reading the reviews, It always gives me so much confidence in the following chapters. This chapter is extremely short. However, I'll try to update more frequently. Chapter 2 took me a bit longer then expected, I am piled with ideas, I just never right em' all down! I promise there is more drama,romance, and thrills to come. If you guys ship certain couples, let me know in the reviews, and maybe I can write em' into the story. Thanks! Follows and reviews are greatly appreciated. ;)

Chapter 2

The daylight struck the window sill in Apple's dorm. Apple, who was singing a little song while brushing out her beautiful white blonde hair. A loud bang rang throughout the room. Apple jumped. It was Briar beauty.
"Ugh! Apple, You would not believe what happened to me today!" Briar exclaimed. Apple chuckled, had she known that Briar tends to over exaggerate.
"What? "
"So, I didn't get any sleep last night. None! Nothing! Not even a decent hour! I just couldn't sleep!" Briar exclaimed. Apple set down her brush and wriggled out her towel on her balcony.
"You, Briar Beauty, couldn't sleep?" Apple asked with a smirk.
"Uh, yeah Apple, that what i just said,keep up!" Briar yelled. Briars face looked exhausted. Dark circles surrounded her under eyes. For Briar, that was highly unusual. Briar was stressed of lack of sleep.
"Gosh Bri.." Apple responded with a offended face.
"Sorry A, I'm just really stressed out!" Briar started
"I can tell…" Apple thought to herself
"On the way over to your dorm, I totally trashed my shoes! I was so exhausted i wasn't paying attention and stepped in this icky black gooey stuff!" Briar finished
"Eww! Briar! You tracked it into my dorm! I just cleaned it." Apple said looking done at her once clean floor.
"Sorry…Anyways,I better find Ashlynn soon. I need a new pair of heels, STAT. Have you seen her?"
"Not since your party on Friday."
"MIA for 2 days?" Briar asked
"Yep. " Apple replied
"Im pretty sure she is still at Hunter's snoodling with him this very second.:.." Briar said bitterly
"Snoodling? What's that?" Apple asked with a confused look.
"Honestly, I don't know, I just heard Maddie say it, and it sounded inappropriate." Briar responded
Apple giggled and responded
"Briar, you saw how scared she was on Friday." said Apple
" Well, she was sick." Briar responded
"Sick or not, she was frightened." Apple stated
"Well then. Can I borrow some heels?" Briar asked bitterly.
"Sure!" Apple answered cheerfully
"I guess we will see Ash tomorrow at school." Briar stated

"A one two three four!" Yelled Duchess Rowena, the dance class instructor. The group of teens scrambled on the charmaitorium floors. Duchess Swam was always the one doing the steps correctly. It was the one thing she was the best at then any other royal or rebel in the school. It just seemed like today, her feet were so ...tied.
"Come on ladies! Dont make me hold you guys up after class. Start doing the steps right."
D. Rowena yelled. D. Rowena narrowed her eyes and eyed down every single student.
"Duchess! What is up with your steps? This isn't the circus! You look like a diseased walrus out of the water! Its awful!" D. Rowena shouted with an evil tone.
Duchess's heart sunk a little. No one had ever told her that her dancing was awful, but honestly, she will admit, this wasnt very good dancing at all. So far in the past 20 minutes she has fell about 5 times. Duchess Swan NEVER falls when shes dancing. Duchess is usually the most graceful moving person in the room. But obviously not today. Even Apple was doing bit better than her.
"Ahh! I can't get this move down!" Duchess said in an unfriendly, aggravated tone.
"Duchess Swan! You've done this move a million times, you can surely do it again." D. Rowena stated in a bitter manner. Duchess Swan took a deep breath and did her fouette,and which she knocked over Lizzie Hearts. Lizzie huffed as she dusted off her card printed leotard and yelled, "Duchess Swan! Watch it! Or it'll be off with your head!"
Duchess cooned her head into her shoulders and let a tear wander down her face. "What a fairy fail!",she thought to herself, "what has gotten into me today?"

Apple sat at a small circle table and sipping a hocus latte in the village of Book End. She was accompanied by Blondie Locks, who was too busy gazing into her mirror pad and updating her blog. Apple tapped her nail n the hard table as she looked into the thin spring air.
"What a beautiful day! Where's Briar? Seriously how long does it take for her to take a pee?" Apple asked
"Uh, Honestly I don't know, according to resources sent in threw my blog chat, she is right around the corner locking lips." Blondie stated. Apple sighed and texted Briar, minutes later, Briar came strutting in a tired and stressed fashion.
"Hey guys." Briar said sleepily,as she went up to the table. Briar took a chair from an empty table and pulled it to Apples. She sat down and yawned ,yet her eyes were still widely set down her phone and took a sip of a latte. Briar was busy sipping away at her latte,when Briar's phone rang. A new text. Apple picked up Briars phone and read the text.

TEXT- 3.5.14 - HOOD,SPARROW
Sparrow; Had fun today hun, lets do it again ;)

"Sparrow? Sparrow Hood? Thats who you were seeing?" Apple raised her voice.
"Yeah. So what, Its not like we are official or anything, he is just helping me wear myself out so I'll fall asleep."
Briar started, "Plus, Sparrow NEVER stays on one girl."
Apple placed her hand over her head and shook it and sighed.
"Briar, just be careful. Sparrow, is Sparrow. " Apple replied in a worried tone.
"OH MY GRIMM ! Apple hex out! I'm fine." Briar yelled
"Yeah Apple, It's probably just a phase." Blondie inferred
Apple sighed once more and took a large sip of her latte. She was worried about Briar. What has gotten into her?
