HI HI HI! AAAAND WE'RE BACK WITH AN ALL NEW INSTALLMENT OF LIPS OF AN ANGEL! You all thought I forgot BUUUUUUT I didn't! I'm actually super excited to write this.. Yeeeeoooo(:

Warning: This story is an enormous change of pace from what I usually write for. It will later deal with some more serious subjects, including eating disorders, mental illnesses (I.E. Bipolar disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder and panic disorder), religion and beliefs, affairs, ect., ect. Each character and their relationships with each other will be different since this story is pulling together so many people at once.


EDIT: THIS CHAPTER DOES CONTAIN ONE OF THE ABOVE TRIGGERS! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!


"We need to talk," Declan whispered, wrapping his arm around April. She turned her head away from him, refusing to look in his sad, brown eyes. "Whatever Fernando told you-"

April turned to him sharply, "Was absolutely true?" Declan opened his mouth to object and April silenced him, "Don't deny it. It was all true, wasn't it? You cheated on me with that airhead, Jamie. Didn't you?"

"Not so loud!" Declan looked around to make sure people weren't hearing them, "You're going to make a scene, Prilla."

April pushed his arm off of her with a glare, "Don't touch me. Don't call me Prilla. Don't talk to me anymore. This is over."

"Are you breaking up with me?" Declan raised an eyebrow in disbelief.

April nodded, "Yeah, I am. You can have Jamie now."

"I hope you're happy," Declan shot back.

April pulled her "D" necklace off, placing it into his hand, "I hope Jamie loves you the way I did."

And with that, Declan walked away- tears forming in April's eyes as he did.


I'm sure you've heard the phrase 'When one door closes, another one opens.' Usually this refers to the opening and closing of doors for one person. In the case of the second day of Spirit Week (Hat day- The underdogs wore beanies and snapbacks) a door closed on Declan and April's relationship, and opened on a new one.


Ever since the first grade, Buddy Utsukushii had an infatuation with Noah Heart. His sisters would often poke fun at him because of it. They told him that he worshiped the ground that Noah walked on.

Noah knew very well how much Buddy liked her. And she intended to keep him liking her. He was as sweet as can be, and he definitely wouldn't be part of the Underdogs if it wasn't for Noah. In fact, Noah liked to credit herself with the entire forming of the Underdogs. Kami was her best friend, Rose was her sister, Mark liked her back in the day too- and just didn't want to ditch them. Buddy was in love with her, she took in April in the first place, and Ana just followed them-She was a follower. It was what she did.

Elaborating on it a bit, Noah liked to credit herself for the majority of acts carried out by the Underdogs. She hadn't ever done much of the dirty work- but she also never got caught. Only Rose was able to say the same. Ana would have been able to- but she took the fall for people sometimes.

All in all, Noah would say she's pretty well off, she already knew she wasn't going to be one of the those people who looked back on high school and called it the worst time of her life. She had good friends, good grades, and good luck. And now there was only one thing she needed to complete the experience.

"Hey," She smiled as he turned his head to face her.

"Hey Noah," Buddy grinned in reply, turning back to begin to stuff things into his locker.

Noah stood there for a bit, considering what to say before finally deciding to go the straightforward direction. That usually paid off in the end. "I have a question."

"Shoot," Buddy nodded, walking with her toward her locker the way they used to. He used to always wait for her before April.

"If you like me so much, why don't you just ask me out?" Noah took a lot of pleasure in Buddy's shocked, jaw-dropped face in the time before he answered her.

"Never thought you'd say yes, I s'pose," He mumbled with a blush on his face. He looked down, mussing up his hair slightly before shoving his hands deep into his pockets. People who knew him well knew that this was a habit of his whenever he felt awkward.

Noah raised an eyebrow, waiting for him to bring his gaze back up to hers so she could look him in the eyes, "You never know until you try."

Turning nearly scarlet Buddy looked down at the ground before quickly looking back up- his blush gone and happiness glinting in his green eyes, "Noah, will you go out with me?"

"Yes," Noah grinned and he pulled her forward into a hug. As the two began to walk together, his iPhone began to buzz furiously in his pocket. "April?" She asked with a small laugh. April never texted Buddy anymore, she'd usually call him and it was a running joke that whenever Buddy's phone rang it was most likely April.

He nodded before answering, not even getting to greet her before she asked if she could come over tonight.

"Gee, I'd love to but.." He used his free hand to muss up his hair, he was nervous, "I think I'm hanging out with Noah tonight."

"He finally asked me out!" Noah chirped from beside him.

On the other end of the line April had to bite down on her lip until she tasted blood to keep from crying into the phone. She wasn't going to spoil Buddy's happiness with her own misery. "That's great! Really great! So I'll see both of you tomorrow then?"


And with a few quick goodbyes the call was over and April found herself on the ground leaning against the wall of lockers. Then who, but the only Fernando walked past her. He didn't even look down.

"Hey," She called, her voice breaking slightly. His pace slowed but didn't stop. She called out to him again, getting on her feet to catch up with him.

"Don't talk to me," Fernando muttered, not giving her any kind of eye contact.

April was abashed for a moment before snapping back to look angry, "You can't just kiss me and then ask me to not talk to you!"

"Watch me." Was his only reply.

April hated everything about the way her conversations with Fernando usually went. He always made the better points, always had the last word, always found a way to shut her up when all she wanted was to be heard.

"You don't even know me!" She yelled after him. This time he stopped. And then he turned around. It was just the two of them now, cars were clearing out of the lot, the busses long gone.

He took three steps closer to her, not close enough to touch but close enough to see the distinct lines on his face. They all curved down in anger. "I know you a lot more than you think, because you're typical, April. I know that all you want in a conversation is the last word and the last laugh because you hate being second best. I know that you didn't even love Declan, you're just upset because he cheated on you and you can't stand being anyone's second choice. I know there isn't a bone of rational thinking in your body and you think everything is going to be okay if you just go with the flow but you have to work for it at some point April and you're literally going nowhere if you don't own up to your actions now. You can't keep acting like a child!" He was beginning to yell at her now.

His words only hurt because they were all true. As she walked his sharply turn his head away from her and proceed to walk away from her she thought back to her own house, knowing she would be home alone for a while.

The perfect time for her to turn back to her old habits, but only for a little bit. At least, that's what she told herself.


"FERNANDO!" Kami clapped her hands in front of Fernando's face as he sat staring off into space on their couch.

He looked around quickly before met her gaze, "Huh, what?"

"I asked if you wanted a drink," She replied, rolling her eyes, "But forget it now." Fernando nodded lightly as Kami laid on the other end of the couch, stretching her legs and arms out before contracting back into a ball. "What's your problem today? All day you've been weird, but now you're being like, supah dupah weird!"

"I'm not!" He crossed his arms defensively before putting the ball back into her court. "What about you, little weirdo? I saw the way you looked after they announced to keep voting for Spirit Queen today in homeroom."

Kami's eyes widened a little bit before playing calm, "I don't know what you're talking about. Spirit Week is dumb."

"Lies!" Fernando announced, "All lies!" This made Kami burst into light giggles, that line was an inside joke from their childhood. She didn't remember the first time they said it, but it was their thing.

She ran a hand through her hair before looking up at her brother, "Why did we ever fall apart?" She, of course, knew the answer was the Underdogs. She just didn't want it to be.

Before he could answer, however, her phone began to ring and she picked up with an apologetic glance, "Hey!" There was no answer on the other end, just heavy breathing, "April? What's wrong? Are you crying?"

Fernando looked away from his sister, not wanting to know the reason that April was upset, or if it was him.

"I'm doing it again Kami."

Kami's eyes widened, "No. April, not what I think. Right?"

"The thing you told me not to do anymore."

"April! Hold on, don't do anything! I'm coming!"

And with that she jumped up and ran toward the door, but not without turning back at her shadow of a brother who was following her and snapped, "Not you! This is an emergency and I don't need you!"

Then she was running to next door, not wearing shoes, with Fernando running after her anyways. She threw open the door and listened, covering Fernando's mouth with her hand as he was about to ask her what was going on. "You need to leave. NOW!"

Then a loud coughing sounded from upstairs and Kami sprinted up them and to the bathroom, Fernando wasn't able to keep up. He stayed by the door, afraid of what he would see if he went upstairs and afraid of the reason she would be doing it.

"April, stop it!" Kami cried out ran in pulling her best friend away from the toilet she was leaned over, slamming the lid and flushing it quickly. Reaching up she quickly wet a towel and handed it to April so she could wipe off her mouth and hands before Kami sat down on the ground next to her. As soon as she did, April laid her head down in Kami's lap and began to cry.

Fernando, on the other hand was standing motionless and silent in the doorway, not believing what he had just witnessed. He was taken by surprise when April looked up at him with bright red eyes and tears streaking down her cheeks. "Get out of my house!" She yelled hoarsely, her voice cracking, "Leave me alone!"

Fernando backed away without a word- feeling like he himself was about to cry as well.


Question of the day, how do you think Buddy is going to react when he finds out what April's up to? And better yet, how will Noah react to his reaction?
