Update

Update!! Omg! It's our Semester break! Happy Halloween there guys! Wherever you are from. I would be answering some of the questions form your reviews in this chapter. Again, I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING.

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

Song in Repeat: Nice Piece Of Art by FM Static. (I would like to thank Kenji for letting us hear this song. If it wasn't for him and his taste of music, this chapter would probably different.)

Arya woke up on the carpet floor behind the counter and found Eragon, Nasuada and Murtagh on the dining table, eating breakfast while watching her.

"Holy S!" Arya blurted when she realized that she was being watched. "Were you watching me the whole time?"

Eragon nodded and took a sip of hot cider. "It's better than a porn movie I watched with Murtagh and the guys."

Murtagh shot him a murderous glare. Nasuada gave him a weird look and she tried to hide a smile. She held out her open palm to Arya.

"Alright," she said with a grin. "pay up."

"What for?" Arya asked as she stood up, rubbing the sleep off her eyes.

"We had a bet remember?" Nasuada replied.

"What bet?" Murtagh looked up from his cereal.

"We bet if you and Eragon watch porno. Arya betted ten bucks that you don't and that you spend your time in parties. I said that you guys do 'because no guy can resist one."

"Damn." Arya sighed as she poured herself a mug of cider. "You should've kept your mouth shut, Eragon."

"Sorry." Eragon shrugged, "I didn't know."

"Yes, Eragon." Murtagh said, still giving him a blank, angry glare. "You should've kept your mouth shut."

Nasuada let out a faint giggle, Arya looked at her with bright yet sleepy eyes.

"So, are you and Murtagh okay now?" she asked.

Nasuada did not answer and Murtagh looked down on his bowl of cereal.

"Okay…" Arya could only manage to say. "I guess not."

Arya looked out the window, it was hazy. The snowstorm was so strong the she could hardly see across the street.

Nasuada ate a spoonful of oatmeal and chewed slowly. Then she said; "So, Arya, did you get to see what you want to see last night?"

Arya froze, her eyes met Eragon's icy blue ones. He shrugged and just smirked.

"I fell asleep." She admitted.

"Nothing happened." Eragon told her as he took a bite of his butter toast.

Arya rolled her eyes. "So much for staying up."

"Yeah," Murtagh said without looking up from his bowl. "Too bad."

"You were really getting personal last night." Arya pointed out.

"Well yes." Nasuada said as she ran her hand down her midnight black hair. "And that wasn't really nice spying on people."

Murtagh was lost in his own thoughts. The sound of Nasuada's and Arya's voices was drowned as he was engulfed by his own thoughts. He remembered about his friend's broken relationships. He was not the only one in this room who hasn't been cheated on nor had a relationship. He claims to the others that he had a girl friend who studies in another school. But he was just covering the embarrassing truth. His pale blue eyes wandered about the room. They settled on Arya.

Every guy in Alagaesia High wants to date her. Arya was usually the one who ends the relationship and brakes up with the guy. Then she hooked up with Faolin, who is already a graduate. She was out with him in the movies and when they went home, then stopped by a shop to get some coffee. Suddenly, a girl turns up and asked Faolin who Arya was.

Arya asked the same thing. Faolin was trapped. Arya realized that he was two-timing her.

Then Faolin said;

"Sorry, Arya. You're hot, but you're not enough. I'm ending it. She's the legal one anyways."

Murtagh remembered when he got a call from Nasuada that Arya got into a catfight and she's just not strong enough to stop her. He went there and they took Arya home who was crying and shouting curses. Nasuada comforted her while Murtagh led the way through the crowd who was watching.

His eyes drifted again and they settled on Eragon this time that was absent mindedly mixing his cider with a spoon and looking out the window.

Eragon's story wasn't that special.

Trianna hooked up with him during sophomore year. Then she used him to get her things that she wanted and sometimes, at the price of Eragon's pride. She embarrassed him most of the time. Eragon was just a toy to her.

Eragon's girl best friend, Saphira, was furious. She wanted to get revenge for Eragon. But Saphira was young; she was only a freshman that time. Murtagh never found out what Saphira did, but the very next day after she found out about what Trianna did to Eragon; Trianna went to school with an oversized hat. Turned out that there was this large bald spot on her head.

Nasuada asked what Saphira did. But Saphira only smiled and shook her head. The blue highlight on her blonde hair shone under the noon sun and said;

"Let's just say that its pretty old school, but effective."

Murtagh looked down on his half empty bowl and stirred the floating cereal with his spoon. When he looked up again, his eyes settled on Nasuada this time.

Nasuada probably had the most unfortunate past relationship among them. Blodgharm, a junior during that time but now a senior hooked with her. Nasuada loved being with Blodgharm, or she thinks she does. On their fifth month together, Blodgharm removed his sweet angel like mask and Nasuada saw who he truly was. As much as Murtagh want to interfere and tell Nasuada to break up with Blodgharm, he couldn't just meddle into a so called serious relationship. One night, Nasuada went to Blodgharm's place. Once she got in the house. Blodgharm confronted her. He told Nasuada that if she did not have sex with him, he'll break up with her. Nasuada was scared. She refused and Blodgharm was furious. He called her names and insulted her. Nasuada bravely fought back.

He broke up with her, and Nasuada pretended not to care. She knew well that there are far better guys out there. She walked out the house, head held high.

Murtagh found out what happened the following day. He was furious at Blodgharm and at the same time, with Nasuada. She's a pretty tough girl and she hooked up with a jerk. But he admired her too. Nasuada was able to take the pressure and walk out even though it was a bit hard for her. Murtagh was proud of her.

Nasuada looked up from her mug and Murtagh met her onyx black eyes. Murtagh gave a small shy smile so Arya and Eragon won't notice. Nasuada smiled back. Then Murtagh looked out the window. Of course he had his own heartbreaks, only, they were secret.

"Murtagh?" Eragon asked.

"Yeah?" Murtagh replied, looking at Eragon.

"You've been awfully quiet." Arya pointed out. "Anything wrong?"

Murtagh saw that Nasuada was quite interested. She watched him carefully.

"Nothing." Murtagh said with a quick smile. "Nothing at all. You know I'm quiet most of the time."

"Right." Arya said with sarcasm.

Murtagh shook his head, sighed and looked out the window. The blizzard still hasn't stopped. And Christmas was just around the corner.

Christmas. Murtagh said to himself. It was during this time that it happened. It was impossible for him to forget that Christmas when he was only about five years old and was in the hospital when he met the girl of his dreams.

"Murtagh," Nasuada said, her eyes bore deep into his. "Please pass the toast."

Mwahaha! You just have to wait for the next chapter to find out how this two met! Aww… kiddie love. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Feel free to R&R!! Happy Halloween! Yeah I know, it's only October 31. I'm just greeting you guys in advance.
