Chapter 2
-Hey girls!-said Stella, as she was walking towards the girls in the hall.
-Hey!-said the girls.
-So, did people notice your new looks?-asked Stella.
-Yup.-said Bloom.
-Feels a little weird when people are turning around to see you.-said Flora.
-And they're staring at you.-said Musa.
-And it's not because you have something on your face.-said Tecna.
-It's because of it, and your looks.-said Layla.
-So, what I'm hearing is, you like the attention?-asked Stella.
-Yeah. It's not that bad.-said Layla.
-But it's got a lot of downs.-said Musa.
-And a lot of ups?-said Stella.
-Mostly downs, I mean people are staring at me! Forget that, boys are staring at me!-said Tecna.
-It's a part of looking good, get used to it. Besides it's not that bad.-said Stella.
-If you say so. Besides, you have the most experience in looking good than all of us have.-said Flora.
-Okay, now let's cut to the important things, like the band contest, it's in two weeks.-said Musa.
-Two weeks!?-asked the girls in union.
-Yeah.-said Musa.
-We're never gonna make it! We have to come up with a new song!-said Bloom.
-Come on, we can do it! We're the Winx club!-said Musa.
-When do we start?-asked Layla.
-Alright everyone, we have to come up with lyrics, we need a new song!-said Musa as she was pacing around the music classroom. They had a band rehearsal.
-Ok, we can do it in a few days.-said Bloom.
-A few days?! We don't have a few days! We have to start working now!-said Musa.
-Hey, hey, hey, Musa! Chill! Ok?! We can do this.-said Layla-What Bloom tried to say was that we need a few days to come up with lyrics, we don't have inspiration.
-Ok, ok, I know I'm a little tense.-said Musa, as she earned a glare from Stella-Ok, a lot tense, but I've never worked on such short notice.
-Don't worry, we'll do this. Alright now we can stay here for an hour or two and try to come up with lyrics.-said Flora.
-And our next rehearsal can be in two days.-said Tecna.
-Ok.-said Musa, as she sat down with the other and grabbed a pen.
Two hours later the girls each had some lyrics.
-Well, I'm done for today.-said Stella as she collected her things and was ready to leave.-Are you girls coming?
-Yeah.-said Flora.
-Uh-uh-said Bloom.
-We're coming.-said Tecna.
-Me too.-said Layla.
-Musa aren't you coming?-asked Bloom.
-No, I'll stay here a little longer, can you give me your lyrics, maybe I can make a song out of everyone's lyrics.-said Musa.
-Ok.-said the girls as they passed her their sheets and left.
BBBBBBBBBB
-Hey Sky.-said Bloom through the phone.
-Hey, are you ready for our date tonight?-he asked from the other side of the line.
-Yeah, that's why I called you, I started taking extra classes for writing. You know, this year since we're juniors we can pick an extra class for our future carriers, and I picked writing, since I wanna be a writer.-said Bloom.
-Oh, ok. Well have fun. Maybe I can see you tomorrow?-asked Sky.
-I have to write.-said Bloom.
-The day after tomorrow?-asked Sky.
-Band rehearsal.-Bloom sighed.
-Weekend?-asked Sky annoyed.
-Still rehearsing, and writing. And this weekend I'm visiting my grandma.-said Bloom sadly.
-Ok, well I'll see you 'round at school.-said Sky disappointed.
-I'm sorry, look I'll go at my grandma's next weekend, and I can find a little time in, let's say Saturday?-said Bloom.
-Ok, that would be great, see you in Saturday.-said Sky as he hung up the phone.
SSSSSSSSS
-Hey shnoockums!-Stella said as she hugged Brandon.
-Hey princess!-he hugged her back.-So, you wanna go to the mall?
-Nah, I think we should hang around in the park, besides we go the mall everyday.-said Stella.
-Alright, spit it out, did your parents cut your allowance?-asked Brandon.-I mean you never miss a chance for shopping.
-True.-said Stella.-Ok, the thing is, my parents told me that I should start saving up for college.-she sighed-And there's another reason. My mom is at the mall with Jamie.
-So?-asked Brandon.
-So, instead of hanging around with you I'm supposed to be home studying for my extra class.-said Stella.-Actually, my extra classes.
-You take extra classes? Is it that carrier thing?-asked Brandon, as she nodded-Then why are you here with me, it's your future we're talking about! You should be there studying!
-That's the problem. The class I chose doesn't have a lot to study.-said Stella.-I chose fashion designing. But the class my parents made me take needs a lot of studying, and I don't want to study it!
-What is it?-asked Brandon.
-My parents want me to be a lawyer!-said Stella.
-And you don't?-asked Brandon.
-Of course I don't! I wanted to say no, but dad said that, if I don't wanna be a lawyer, than I should stop seeing you and I should stop hanging out with the girls, and stop performing…-Stella started sobbing.
-It's ok, you did the right thing. Besides, your dad can't always boss you around, when you grow up, you can make your own decisions.-Brandon tried to comfort her.
-Thanks.-she smiled.
-Now, you better get home if you wanna pass those exams on the end of the school year.-said Brandon.
-Ok. Bye.-she gave him a peck on the lips and turned around to leave, when she saw Brandon's face expression, he was disappointed-Oh, we can meet up in Saturday, ok? I promise!
-Ok.-said Brandon.
FFFFFFF
-Hello? Flora?-Helia got inside the biology classroom, the place Flora spent one hour at.
-Oh, hi!-she got out of a locker.
-What were you doing in the locker?-asked Helia.
-I was stuck.-said Flora.
-Ok…so what's all this about?-asked Helia gesturing around himself, the classroom was a mess.
-Well, let's just say biology didn't go well with science.-said Flora-I tried an experiment with a plant…
-Do you need help cleaning up?-asked Helia.
-Oh, that would be great, cuz I really have to rush, tomorrow we have a review on our new biology lesson. I took extra classes.-said Flora as she picked up her bag and kissed Helia on the cheek.-I'll make it up to you, we'll go out in Staurday, ok? Bye. Thanks.-Flora rushed out of the classroom, leaving a confused Helia.
'What just happened?' he taught.
MMMMMM
Musa was in her garden sitting on the chair with papers all over the table.
-Hey Musa. You could use some juice, want some?-asked Shannon, walking in the garden with a glass full of juice.
-Yeah, thanks.-she said not moving her look from the papers.
-What are you doing anyway?-asked Shannon.
-Well, I'm working on my science homework, I need to finish my extra music class homework and study for that class, and I need to finish the song for the band for two days.-said Musa.
Shannon's mouth was wide open.
-And you can do all that?-she asked surprised.
-Well I'm doing it.-said Musa.
-Ok, well Riven called. He said you were supposed to meet him at the park half an hour ago.-said Shannon.
-Oh my goodness! I totally forgot about that! I hope he isn't mad.-said Musa rushing inside the house.
-Musa, you can always reschedule, I mean you have a lot of work to do.-said Shannon running after her.
-Ok, I'll call him. He'll understand.-said Musa-Oh who am I kidding I can't manage this. I have tons of work!-Musa bumped down on the couch.
-Don't worry, I can help if you want.-Shannon sat down beside her.
-Thanks, but I don't think my teachers will appreciate me, not knowing how to solve my homework on class as well as I did home.-said Musa.
-Ok, you got a point there. Well, if you need anything you know I'm always happy to help. That's what sisters are for.-Shannon smiled as she left the room.
'It's weird having a sister' taught Musa. She still found the idea of her having a sister and a mother, make that a step-sister and a step-mother-weird.
She took her phone and dialed Riven's number.
-Hello?-Riven picked up the phone.
-Hey, it's me. Look, I'm sorry I forgot our date…-Musa started talking.
-Why didn't you come?-he asked.
-Well I have a lot of work, I have to finish up my homework, and study, and then there's the extra classes, and the band…-Musa trailed off.
-Ok. You have a lot of work to do. I understand.-said Riven.
-You do?-asked Musa confused, she expected him to overreact as usual, and she thought that they'll probably get into a fight-That's great. You know I'm really sorry right?
-Yes, but you'll have to make it up to me.-he said.
-Ok, how?-she asked.
-Well you can go out with me tomorrow?-he asked.
-Sorry, can't. I have to study. Maybe Saturday, after band rehearsal, ok?-she asked.
-Ok, but next time, try to actually show up.-he said.
-Oh come on, I said I was sorry! Ok, I promise, I'll make it up to you, Saturday, at the park, after rehearsal.-she said.
-You better.-he said as he hung up the phone.
TTTTTTT
-STAY OUT OF MY ROOM! How many times have I told you, don't come in without my permission!-Tecna was angrily yelling after her sister, who entered her room without asking, and accidently broke Tecna's computer and ruined her homework.
-I swear it wasn't on purpose, I just wanted to take your laptop!-said Rita.
-And that's when you found out that I have a password, so you decided to open it with force!-said Tecna.
-Did not!-defended Rita.
-Did too! If you didn't, then explain the cut wires! And the almost ENTIRELY broken monitor!-yelled Tecna.
-It fell!-Rita yelled back.
-And my homework? I guess someone magically poured water on it!-said Tecna.
-Well, weird things happen!-said Rita.
-That's it! Mum! Rita broke into my room, ruined my homework and broke my laptop!-yelled Tecna.
-Mom's not home! She's out shopping!-said Rita.
-Well I'll tell her when she's back!-said Tecna.
-You wouldn't!-said Rita.
-Try me!-said Tecna.
-Alright, then I'll tell her that you broke my MP3 player last week!-said Rita.
-I fixed it!-said Tecna.
-Well mom doesn't know about that!-said Rita.
-Great, now thanks to you I have to fix my laptop, do ALL of my homework AGAIN, and then do my extra class homework, which needs working on a computer!-said Tecna.
-You have your computer!-said Rita.
-Yes, but my documents were on my laptop!-said Tecna.
They heard the doorbell.
-This must be mum. You're in so much trouble!-said Tecna as she was heading towards the door. She opened the door and started talking.-Mom, Rita just broke my laptop and…-she stopped when she saw Timmy.-Oh, hey Timmy! Sorry, I thought you were my mom. So why did you come?
-We were supposed to work on our project together, the one from the computer class.-he said.
-Oh, I completely forgot about that! I am so sorry! Come in.-she said as she closed the door behind him.
-I'm guessing this is wrong timing?-he said when he saw an angry Rita sitting on the couch glaring at Tecna.
-That's ok, Rita was just going to her room!-she said glaring at Rita.-And, I don't know how we can work on our project now, since someone here broke my laptop!-she yelled at Rita.
-It was an accident!-yelled Rita standing up from the couch.
-Just shut up! Go to your room!-Tecna yelled.
-You're not my mother!-said Rita.
-Well, I'm older!-said Tecna.
-What makes you think I'll listen to you!?-asked Rita.
-If you don't go to your room, I'll tell mom and dad about what you did!-yelled Tecna.
-Fine!-said Rita as she angrily ran to her room.
-Sorry about that.-Tecna sighed and bumped on the couch.
-It's ok. Now as I heard, we have a computer to fix?-said Timmy.
-Yeah, well about that, I have a favor to ask you.-she said.
-You want me to fix the computer, while you re-do your homework?-asked Timmy.
-How did you know?-asked Tecna-I didn't tell you about the homework.
-Well, you were loud enough for the entire neighborhood to hear you.-said Timmy.
-Was I that loud?-asked Tecna, as Timmy nodded.-Ok, so will you do it?
-Sure, no problem.-he smiled, as she smiled back.-But in return for something.
-What?-asked Tecna.
-1000 dollars.-he said-Kidding.
-Are you crazy?-Tecna was laughing.
-I want to go out on a date with you.-he said.
-Ok. Deal.-said Tecna-When?
-How about tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow?-he asked.
-How about Saturday, cuz I am really busy these days.-she said.
-Ok, give me the laptop, I'll fix it and I'll do the project. See you at school.-he said as he stood up to leave.
-Thanks. Bye.-she said as she gave him a peck on the cheek.
LLLLLLL
Layla was playing basketball in her back yard.
-Hey Layla. Your mom told me you're back here. What's up?-asked Nabu as he entered the back yard.
-Oh hey Nabu. I'm practicing for the basketball finals.-said Layla.
-Finals? That's in May.-said Nabu.
-Yeah, I know. My extra classes, they were: sports-basketball, and dancing.-said Layla.
-So, what do you say you and me, one on one?-asked Nabu.
-It's on!-said Lalya.
-I won!-said Layla-Again. In your face!
-Oh, come on!-said Nabu.
-Let's face it you play like a girl.-said Layla.
-Hearing that from a girl, than it's really bad.-said Nabu.
-There, there now, you'll get better….eventually.-Layla tapped his back.
-That's it.-said Nabu as he started tickling her.
-Stop!-Layla was laughing.
-Not until you apologize!-said Nabu, still tickling her.
-Ok, ok if you stop I will!-she said.
-I think that's enough Bubu, you should leave now, Layla has to practice for her class.-said her dad as he got in the backyard.
-Sorry sir. And, it's Nabu.-said Nabu as he stopped tickling Layla.
-Dad, I was practicing with Nabu. And I won. Five times.-she smirked.
-You call this practice? Layla I think you should practice with a better basketball player.-said her dad.
-Dad…-Layla started.
-It's ok, I have homework anyways.-said Nabu as he went towards the door.
-Sorry about that. You know how my dad hates boys.-said Layla.
-He's got a point, you should practice with someone better.-said Nabu.
-You know, you can make him like you if you beat my brothers in basketball. I'll set up a date for the game, one on one with each of my brothers.-said Layla
-Ok, I'm in.-Nabu smiled.
-Layla hurry up!-yelled her dad from the living room.
-Ok, I'll set the game in two weeks, after the band contest, you have time to practice until then.-said Layla.
-That's it Layla. No more distractions. From now on you are not allowed to date him, or anyone.-yelled her dad.
-What!-Layla closed the door in front of Nabu.-Dad! It's not his fault!
-And, you can't hang out with your friends, or perform!-yelled her dad.
-What?! Why?-asked Layla.
-Because they are distractions, if you want to be a basketball player, you should focus on the game, and the game only! You have to practice 24/7!-yelled her dad.
-Well, maybe I don't want to be a basketball player, dad!-yelled Layla.
-Of course you do Layla, that was your dream from when you were little!-said her dad.
-No, dad! My dream was, is and will be to become a dancer!-yelled Layla and stormed off to her room.
'Why does he want me to become a basketball player, my brothers can be that! Then again, he doesn't interfere in their dreams of becoming a football player, a scientist and a rap singer!' thought Layla.
