And I still haven't got over it. Ebony's fine with the news, and Mickey doesn't care since she's been spending most of her time with Ryland. For me, I was freaking out since every time I bumped into the living devil himself (coughRockycough), he would always try to hit on me. And I hit on him. Literally. While trying to avoid him, I can't help but notice a certian blonde's unhappiness./div

Ebony and I finally got our own rooms so we don't have to repeat the early-morning incident ever again. I woke up to Rocky staring at me. My usual response: screaming. "Rocky! What the hell are you doing in here!?" I threw a pillow at him, which didn't faze him. /div

Riker needs ya ASAP." He tossed the pillow back onto the bed before leaving the room. I sigh as I take the chance to quickly change, heading out of the room. Once out, I get swarmed by Ebony./div

She smiled before skipping off. I shake my head playfully before I soon spot Ross, who was stting at the foot of the stairs. I made my way over to him, sitting beside the blonde. "Hey.'
