I AM SO SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING SINCE MARCH 8TH! I have been very very distracted with everything. Luckily I'm on Spring break now and I'll have a bit of time to write another chapter or two. This one will be fairly interesting; since Kitty's mom has somehow found out that Kitty (Marley) is at Ms. Rose's little estate. And when they head back to school, I wonder how that will go? Also, what happened to Kitty's dad? Wasn't he supposed to be back awhile ago?

hockeydegrassi: Yaaaay, I'm stoked that you would rather read my story than sleep! That's something I can't say I'd do! Sleep is seriously my best friend. I'm not a morning person at all xP thank you for your ongoing support, and I'm feeling so much better now than I was when I last updated. Hopefully you'll enjoy this chapter. Kind of left it on a cliffhanger, so I guess you'll see what Ms. Rose decides to say to Ms. Wilde! :)

JessaBlessa: I'm happy to hear you loved it! Yeah, I try to entail funny and drama filled moments. Kitty sure is blushing quite a bit, and because of what Marley says? Wonder why? ;D I can't guarantee that everything will be all perfect and fine. You'll just have to read and find out for yourself, haha. About the switching back part; I still haven't decided what to do about that whole scenario, but I'll figure something out in due time. Thank you so much for being willing to talk to me even though we don't know each other personally. Just goes to show that there really are some decent human beings out in the world still. I hope you love this chapter as well!

thenerdwithoutglasses: Yes, Kitty is freakin' hilarious. I don't think I even come close to the monster funny comments she makes in Glee, but I try! Cliffhangers are...interesting. Good if they have the next chapter up, but pretty annoying if they don't, in my opinion. GOOD that you knew who was actually speaking because I thought it might be quite confusing at certain points. Kitty's mom is...well, honestly, she's gonna be a witch as you can tell. How far I decide to take her evilness is another whole angle of the story. That is where my scheming mind comes into play! School, that'll be interesting to say the least. I'm not sure if I'll incorporate it next chapter or at the end of this one. You'll just have to see how it all goes. They'll have to go to school eventually and it will be fun to see how Marley reacts to being popular, while Kitty gets to witness the other side. Thanks, I knew I had to bring in a character that was going to know about them switching bodies. Plus, they need someone on their side with all that's going on!

EmoChildP: Eek indeed. Kitty's mom is evil and she won't be getting nicer anytime soon!

1hopelessromantic: Yeeee! A new reviewer for my story. Good to see you like it so much. It's much appreciated :)

Kitty's P.o.v -
Marley and I are upstairs in her room talking about this and that, when I hear a knock at the door. My heart starts to pound, because I don't know who could be there. I think there may be a chance that it could be my mom! It sounds crazy, but I always get this nagging feeling when my mother is close by. Kind of creepy, right? But it's so true. Marley shouldn't have to put up with my mom. She's the sweetest girl I know and she does not deserve to be treated so poorly. What am I saying? A little while back, I would have been laying down the insults, every chance I got on her. This girl is changing me in more than one way, and (I'm not just talking about switching bodies) it's scaring me way more than I'd like to admit.

"Marley, let's go see who's at the door," I suggest, catching her gaze, prodding her to follow me out of the room.

She giggles, but she follows me anyways. "Alright, I will. Just stop poking me already," she says, playfully. "Kitty, who do you think is at the door this early in the morning?" She questions, with a cute tilt of her head. Okay, that was totally adorable when she tilted her head. Kitty, quit calling Marley; a girl, who you're not supposed to like, cute. I'm so totally letting this sweet angel get into my head!

"Kitty, are you okay? You're kind of staring off into your own little world it seems." Great...she caught me already. I didn't even answer her question. No wonder she thinks something is off with me.

"Uhh, yeah...I'm fine," I partly lie.

We both crouch down and Marley touches my shoulder. "You know, it's okay to not be okay. This is insanity at its finest and I'm still in awe and shock about the whole situation."

Marley's right. All of this is crazy and any other person would be currently be freaked out and panicking too, so maybe it's okay to be afraid, contrary to what I've been taught growing up.

"Thanks, I needed that," I say as I smile gratefully at Marley. "What's happened to us is crazy beyond belief. I guess we're lucky that the person who happened to find out was your mom. Anyone else would have called us lunatics on the spot, and might have called an insane asylum too. I know for a fact my mom would have thought there was something wrong with the both of us, (not that she already doesn't) and definitely wouldn't be anything like your generous mom."

"It's no problem Kitty. Like I said, we have to stick to together. It would be hard with or without you, but at least it's a little better with you around. I am so thankful I have a mom like mine because she really is amazing. What I don't understand is how a mom can be so cruel to her own flesh and blood. It's sickening to know she slapped you and it's even more terrible that she didn't feel an ounce of guilt after doing it."

Marley has fierceness in her eyes and it's as if a fire is burning behind her beautiful orbs now.

I point at the door. "Marley, your mom is opening it!" She nods in understanding and turns her attention toward the barrier.

I can barely hear what Marley's mom is saying. All I make out is her saying hi and then I hear that ever so familiar voice that frightens me so badly. It's my mom for sure, and she knows I'm here. How could she possibly know I'm here?! I never told her I was friends with Marley. Why would I? And Marley wouldn't have said where she was going. She practically sprinted over here to get away from my devilish mother.

I start visibly shaking. If she finds out I'm here, she'll take me back to the house with force, if she has to. Well actually, she'd take Marley, because we've switched bodies and it'll be a convoluted mess. I won't let her take Marley away.

That sounded like a line a hero would say in a movie... I thought I was supposed to be the scheming cheerleader who gets away with everything, while always getting her way? Is this being scripted? Or am I actually turning over a new leaf? I need a vacation. . .to clear my clouded mind.

Marley suddenly reaches over, grins happily, and hugs me tightly. "You're shaking Kitty."

"My mom is at the door. She's going to take you back to the house if we don't hide! I can't let her do that!" At this point, I'm balling my eyes out into Marley's (my) shoulder and staining her (my) shirt.

Marley didn't say calm down or tell me to be quiet. She just holds me close and whispers in my ear that she won't go with my mother. She then proceeds to tenderly kiss my forehead. She just kissed my forehead and I have this tingling sensation running through my body! Ahhh, what is she doing to me?! Still, I feel like nothing could ruin our special moment.

"Kitty, if we work together, I think we can make it out of this with minimal injuries. Of course I mean in a figurative way."

I laugh at what she says. She always babbles on, but it's very endearing on her for some strange reason. I'm crying and laughing simultaneously, and I'm actually okay with both of these emotions. "You're so funny Marley. Always trying to make others feel better, even amidst chaos and hardships."

"Thank you for simply being here for me. You don't know what it means to me," I admit graciously.

"Actually, I do know what it means to you Kitty. You finally have someone you can confide in and that you feel safe with. It's definitely something new for you and I bet it's a nice for a change."

We are looking into each other's eyes longingly and it's right then that I know there might be something more than friendship between us. I never believed I could be interested in a girl romantically. I don't want to be, but I can't help it if Marley is being so sweet and cute. God, I'm falling hard and fast for her... This wasn't supposed to happen.

"It is nice. Really nice." I'm sure my cheeks are a rosy red color once again.

She just loves making me blush, doesn't she?

My ears perk up and I detect my mother's voice again. It's something along the lines of give me Kitty, I know she's here. She is the most demanding person I know, other than me. I can get pretty demanding, but she takes it to a new level that is beyond terrifying.

I can clearly hear what Ms. Rose's reply is though.

"I'm sorry to inform you that Kitty is not here. I don't know why you believe Kitty is here at my house. I will be sure to tell you if she happens to show up Mrs. Wilde."

"You better tell me if you hear anything about Kitty! And you call this garbage dump a house?! I'd be absolutely embarrassed and horrified to have to come home to this every night!"

My mother is yelling again and criticizing another individual she hardly knows. How can she degrade and bring down people as if they're nothing?! I want to go over there and tell her to leave Ms. Rose alone! But I get that it'll cause more drama, and we don't need any more of that, especially today!

I can't see Ms. Rose's facial expressions, but I'm sure she's smiling at my mother, even though she doesn't deserve any kindness from the likes of the Rose family. "I am saddened to hear that that's what you think of my abode. Although you don't respect me or my house, would you like to come in? We can chat about where she possibly could have disappeared to," Ms. Rose suggests randomly.

"Umm, Marley, why is your mom inviting my witch of a mother into your household?"

"I'm with you Kitty. I'm as perplexed as you are. My mom is kind and not to be mean, but I can't see why she'd have any desire to talk to your mom."

We're sitting side by side and talking about why Marley's mom would invite the monster in. There has to be some catch or something up her sleeve.

"None taken. Trust me. I don't blame you for wondering that."

My mother answers again. She's surprisingly back to a fairly normal tone, which is rare for her. "That actually sounds like a plan. You better invite me in and let's get talking about where she might be." That's probably the most normal I've heard her speak for a very long time.

She's almost always screaming or hollering at me or my dad. I wish my dad was here. I miss him and he had to postpone our breakfast date because work called for him to go all the way to California... I know he wouldn't stand up to her, but it'd be nice to have someone who likes me for who I am and doesn't criticize everything I say or anything I do.

"Have a seat over here Mrs. Wilde," Ms. Rose says, pointing to the couch. "I will be right back, so make yourself at home."

She begins to walk towards Marley's room. "Girls, please listen to what I have to say."

We both nod our heads in agreement and she starts to talk.

"I invited your mom in so I could distract her. You two need to head to school immediately. It doesn't matter that you're late. You'll be safer there than here. I put your mom in an area of the house where she won't be able to see anyone leave through the front door. So girls, you have to go, and you have to go now!"

"That is pretty elaborate Ms. Rose. You really think on your feet. I'm impressed," I admit honestly.

Marley goes over to her mom and wraps her in a hug full of thankfulness. "Thank you mom. I love you," Marley whispers into her moms ear. "Come over here Kitty; group hug time."

I've never had what they have and I'll never have what those two have. A part of me is a little jealous, but mostly I'm thankful that they care about me, someone they scarcely know and used to tolerate almost every day at school.

I go over to them both and they engulf me in hug full of love and kindness. I'm so overwhelmed that I feel moisture going down my cheeks. Oh great, I'm crying, so they're going to think there's a problem.

"Kitty, what's wrong?" they both ask in unison. They so totally would end up asking the same question at the same time.

"Nothing. Nothing is wrong. I'm just happy."

"Aww, Kitty, that's touching," Marley states, gingerly wiping away the tear droplets on my face. A smile gracing her lips.

"Kitty, you have really made a complete 180 since I've talked to you at school. This Kitty seems to be the real one that just never had the chance to shine through at McKinley," Ms. Rose says with a genuine smile.

"Thank you so much, to the both of you. My gratitude cannot express how thankful I am. You've shown me more kindness in one day than my mother has in my whole life. It's sad, but it is unfortunately true."

Their faces light up and they crush me in another hug. I'm not complaining though.

I feel Marley's breath tickle the inside of my ear. The chills run down my spine and she says ever so softly, "you're adorable."

My face reddens so quickly and my heart starts beating more erratically than ever before. I can barely breathe... I-I can't even stand. . .

Luckily Marley and Ms. Rose have enough support on me so that I don't fall.

"Dear, are you alright? Do we need to take you to the hospital?" Marley's mom questions; obviously concerned for my well-being. She might have a reason to be if Marley does that again! What's she thinking? Her mom is literally right there on the other side. She could have heard what Marley said, but she probably would have been fine with it. She didn't stop Marley the last time she was flirting with me! It's like she approves and is working together with Marley to embarrass me.

"N-no, I'm fine. I just...lost my balance for a second. I'm still getting used to being in Marley's body." That was a good cover, but I know Marley doesn't believe a word I uttered. Gah, she know what that did to me and she'll probably use that to her advantage. She has some power over me and wow, was that embarrassing. I've never responded to someone like that in my life... EVER!

Marley sends a wink my way and I try to turn away so I don't blush, but it's too late.

She got me. Again. Dammit.

"Are you sure you're okay Kitty?" Marley questions innocently, with that sweet smile of hers.

"Yes, I'm fine," I pout, sticking my tongue out at her lightheartedly.

She laughs and I can't help but think that I want to make her laugh as much as possible.

Ms. Rose interrupts our playful little tiff. "Girls, you need to get going. I'm glad to know you're doing well Kitty, but your mom is waiting and I don't know how long I can keep her in the house."

We both gesture that we understand the situation and start to pack items needed for school. Usually I'd have my Cheerios bag, but since I'm going to have to be Marley, I'll be carrying a backpack and she'll be sporting a backpack too? My bag is at my house and we're not risking going back my hell hole.

"Ready to go Marley?"

"Yeah, let's run to school."

"Good luck girls. I'll try to give you as much time as I can."

"Thank you Ms. Rose, for everything," I say, grinning.

"No problem."

She goes over to kiss Marley on the forehead and then she surprises me. She kisses my forehead too!

I stare at her and she just laughs in return. "Get going you two!"

We rush toward the door, being as quiet as we can. The door opens and to my relief, there's not much of any sound. We creep out and Marley shuts the door behind her. We high five one another and grin too. We're out of the woods for now.

We run all the way to the front of McKinley High School. By the time we get there, we're gasping for our breath. We don't go in as soon as we get there because we just want to catch our breath before turning up late to class.

"I made you blush," Marley bluntly states out of nowhere, and it catches me off guard.

I turn away so she can't my face, because I'm surely blushing again. "So what if you did?" I counter back, trying to infuse some amount of Cheerio's attitude.

"You know it's not a crime to blush, right? Oh, and I know you turned away from me because you're blushing and you don't want me to see you. Isn't that right?" Marley boldly and correctly assumes.

I reluctantly agree. "So you're correct again. You don't have to rub it in Marley!" I mention, completely blushing in the process.

"Awww Kitty, don't act like that. Come over here and give me a hug," Marley says teasingly.

I turn back around and pull out the biggest pout. "Fine, you win this time. Next time I'll make you blush," I threaten while still totally flushing. That was probably the least convincing threat I've ever said to anyone.

Marley walks up to me and opens her arms for an embrace, which I instantaneously give into. It lasts for awhile since neither of us wishes to let go of the warmth enveloping our bodies.

Eventually Marley pulls away, but her lips are on the verge of touching mine, and I'm very feeling faint at this point. She smirks at my helplessness and vulnerable is the emotion that is clouding my mind. She moves her head slightly, plants a kiss on my cheek, and skips off giggling.

Marley almost kissed me on the lips? And I would have let her! There was nothing stopping her. I'm kind of glad it didn't happen. I don't know what I would have done if she did kiss me.

Marley snaps me out of my daydream. "Hey Kitten, are you coming or what? If you want a kiss, all you have to do is ask."

"Maybe next time it won't be on the cheek," She flirts, while adding that wink that's gets me every time.

We enter through the doors of McKinley and I know I'm not faking a friendship for the first time in my life. The real question is; do I want more than friendship from Marley Rose?

I think I do.

I am so going to Cheerio hell for this.

Yay for chapter 7 and more Karley goodness. I'm sorry for teasing everyone with the near kiss. I couldn't let them kiss, but it was fun writing the whole scene! Next chapter will have them back at school. Sorry for putting it off until chapter 8, but better late than never :)
