The night was starting to come to a close and now only the hardcore drinkers were left to dance on the floor. Unsurprisingly the booze counter had been completely drained of most of the alcohol. Nicky was sat up by the decks making sure all the music was in order and making sure that only the best tunes were playing. He was basically legless so it was a lot harder to do but who cared.

His alone time though was cut abruptly short as Calla appeared beside him grinning. He sent her one of his own back and patted the seat next to him for her to sit down which she did. "Didn't think you would still be here?" he laughed surprised that she hadn't gone back when the rest of her friends had.

She shrugged her shoulders. "I wasn't in the mood to go to sleep yet ha" she giggled lightly as she looked at the strapping lad next to him. If you didn't know him anyone would think he was mean and nasty by looking at him but he was one of the biggest softies in the entire college.

"I'm liking your style" he said back as he knocked back his whisky before filling it up again with more of the spirit. He looked at her glass and noticed it was empty so he held it up to see if she wanted a refill and she nodded her head and he did fill it up. "So did you enjoy tonight, I must say our little dance off in the middle of the floor was the highlight of my night" he chuckled loudly and she did also as she remembered the altercation.

"It's been amazing, it's so nice to see everyone again after so long… and yes that was complete epicness" she added and the two clinked their glasses together at their achievement.

"I'm glad you enjoyed, blood sweat and tears went into tonight I'm telling you now" he added as he ran a hand through his short hair.

"I bet it did, you and your sister have done an incredible job, you wouldn't think this place was a warehouse, it actually looks like a real club" she said as her eyes scanned the surrounding walls. Pictures of strobe lighting and party goers littered the walls. Huge speakers covered every single corner and the light machines were flashing furiously to the beat of the music.

"I will take that compliment and keep it" he replied enjoying the girls company. The two sat in a comfortable silence as thy listened to the music. Finally though Nick broke it and looked at her. Extending his hand which she took he spoke. "So shall we have one last dance and show them how it's really done?" he laughed as she stood up alongside him.

She nodded her head. "Let's" she giggled as the two made their way down from the Dj's podium and over to the dancefloor.


"I gotta feeling, that tonight's gonna be a good night, that's tonight gonna be a goodnight, that tonight's gonna be a good good night" Charlie sang as he made his way out of one of the cars along with Sayid, Brett, Sebastian, Claire, Libby, Chrissy, Juliet and Megan.

The other's all chipped in as they stumbled aimlessly across the college grounds and making their way over to the campus. "What's the time?" Brett slurred as he gripped ahold of Sebastians shoulder trying to steady himself. He couldn't help but wonder how the hell he would have the head to do his lego buildings in the morning.

"It is 1:30am" Sayid said as trailed behind him helping Chrissy to walk as she was struggling to keep her eyes open.

"That's way too early to sleep yet" Megan piped in as she walked alongside Claire and Charlie who were chatting avidly. She wanted to say something to him to take his attention away from Claire but she honestly had nothing worth saying. "Who wants a game of basketball?" she smiled evilly as they passed the basketball court.

They boys face lit up instantly and they sprinted through into the court picking up one of the balls and starting instantly. The girls were a little hesitant but after much persuasion they finally decided to join in. The teams were Megan, Sayid, Claire, Sebastian and on the opposition side was Charlie, Brett, Juliet, Chrissy. Libby decided to be the referee as she couldn't get her heels off of her feet unlike the others who had yanked theirs off and thrown them to one side.

"Bring the pain" Charlie yelled intimately as he picked up the ball and bounced it hard. But in his drunken state he didn't realise how hard he had bounced it and the ball went straight up through his hands and smashed him in the face. The force threw him off of his feet and everyone doubled over in tears as they laughed at the boy.

"Seriously man I think you just brought it" Sebastian laughed loudly as he picked himself off of the ground. Charlie stood up and frowned at them all before carefully scooping up the ball.

"Oh now this is war" he said to them as he passed the ball to his team members.


Ana, Shane, Jack and Boone were practically dragging Shannon and Kate along behind them as they decided to call it a night as were Nick and Calla, Lexi, Josh, Sawyer, Scarlett, Keith and Dean. The group stumbled aimlessly and threw themselves into the waiting limo which was ordered especially for them. "Please don't throw up again" Boone pleaded with Shannon as he opened the window ready for her just in case. She just nodded her head dropping it between her knees.

"I'm seeing three of everybody here, that really isn't healthy" Jack said as he rubbed at his eyes trying to focus his vision into one but he only ended up making it worse so he resorted to closing his eyes and going to sleep.

"Jackass over there really can't handle his drink" Sawyer laughed to Dean as the two sniggered at the sleeping trainee doctor. "I'm so glad we don't have lessons tomorrow" Sawyer grumbled as he swigged at the bottle of whisky which he had brought out with him.

"I know… but we do have football practice and if we ain't there coach is gonna go nuts" Dean said to the boys in the car and they groaned. Boone, Sawyer, Dean, Josh, and Nick were all on the team and their groans echoed throughout the car.

"We've got cheer practice as well haven't we Shan" Scarlett slurred looking over at the blonde who just nodded weakly.

"I don't think someone will be turning up tomorrow though by the looks of it" Keith chortled looking at her. "I don't think any of you will which means no heavy lifting for me" he added with a wink hoping that they didn't have practice as he really didn't think he would be able to hold up the girls.

"We'll be there won't we Scar" Ana said triumphantly and the two beamed widely knowing that they would more than likely be the ones to turn up as they never suffered from severe hangovers.

"Well I think this was a success little brother" Alexis smiled as she turned to her brother who was sat on the otherside of her. He smiled back at her his eyes wide in happiness.

"Yeah it was! We keep getting better everytime" he said and held his hand up and the two high fived tuning out the conversations that were going on around them.

"I'm sorry if I upset you earlier Nick, I was only joking really, you're my bro and I love you more than anyone else you know that don't you" she said softly to him and he just nudged her playfully.

"Oh someones definitely had too much to drink. You apologizing to me" he chuckled at her but she swatted his arm back.

"Hey a drunken mind speaks a sober heart so lap up all this while you can because it won't be happening for a long time" she giggled back linking her arm with his.

"Okay" he said putting his hands up in mock surrender. "And for the record I love you too" he said back and she rested her drunken head on his shoulder squeezing his arm tightly. They were all they each other had left now.


Megan crawled out of her bed quietly feeling surprisingly fresh after the antics from the night before. She quickly pulled on her trousers and top before creeping over to the large kitchen area which the whole floor shared. She rummaged through the cupboards until she found what she was looking for. She held in the snigger that was slipping through her lips and was about to head back in to her room when Dean popped his head into the kitchen.

His hair was a complete mess and he was dressed in a pair of joggers and a tank top which was his morning attire. He was looking worse for wear. "And what are you doing Sticky" he asked looking at the large pot and wooden spoon she had in her hands.

"What does it look like pee wee" she said holding them up in his face until he got the idea. "Anyway what are you doing in here?" she asked curious as to why the boy was up at this hour of the morning.

"Same thing as you, I'm gonna find a beautiful way to wake Sawyer up this morning" he beamed as he rummaged around for something. Megan just walked behind him and picked up a jug and filled it with water and placed it down next to the boy.

"That should do the trick" she said as he picked it up grinning wildly.

"I swear are you an evil genius or something?" he chuckled as he headed towards the exit Megan right behind him. She turned right and he went left.

"You betcha" she shouted back as she went quietly into her room. She looked at the girls who were all sleeping soundly. Her eyes fell on her victim as she approached the sleeping girl slowly.

She raised the saucepan above her head and pulled the wooden spoon back. BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG. Maddison shot bolt upright her hands clamped firmly around her head which was thumping painfully. The rest of the room awoke with a start each letting out cry's of despair.

"WHAT THE HELL?" Maddison screamed as she threw the covers off of her and stood up on shaky legs.

Megan doubled over in hysterics at the girls reaction. "Good morning" she said through breaths as she tried to hide from Maddison's death glare. One thing that she hated… mornings. She was not and never had been a morning person, and with a hangover was just a step too far.

"I am going to kill you Bates" she growled as she began to chase the girl around the room much to the amusement of Claire and Libby and Juliet who was watching the scene unfold.


"Josh?" Dean whispered through the crack in the bathroom and the Australian boy opened the door quietly wiping his blonde hair with a towel. He hadn't long gotten back from his morning surf and decided to get all the salt off of him as quick as possible.

"What's up Deano?" he said quietly looking at the boy who had a big jug of water on his hands.

"Wake up the other's quietly and tell them to watch this! Luciano here is gonna get his own back after Sawyer's little stunt last night" he smirked referring to how Sawyer had purposely stuck his foot out and caused a hammered Dean to fall forward out of the limo and on a heap on the floor.

Josh did as requested and one by one the boys were awake and looking at Dean their eyes alight with hysterics though they had to hold it in. One two three he mouthed and with that he emptied the contents of the jug over the blonde's head. The shock sent Sawyer tumbling out of bed. "Son of a bitch" he growled as he wrapped himself up in his blanket which had pulled off with him.

The boys all burst out laughing as he rolled around on the floor. "That was class" Nick chimed running a hand through his hair.

The wake up call in the girls bedroom was a lot nicer than the other two rooms. Ana was the first awake followed by Kate and Scarlett. The three were sat by the table eating their cereal whilst trying to stop themselves from throwing up. Next to arise was Lexi and she staggered half heartedly towards them slumping down in the chairs and resting her head on the cool table.

"Here we are chicks" Scarlett said as she pushed two paracetmol towards her friend. Lexi took them gratefully swallowing them down with a glass of water. "I'm never drinking again" she murmured rubbing her sore head tenderly.

"Nor me" Shannon mumbled from under her duvet not wanting to leave the warmth of her bed yet.

"You alright up there sick vic" Ana chortled and the girls hand emerged from the duvet and she flicked her two fingers at the girl. "Looks like there's going to be no practice today girlies" Ana said turning to the one's around the table.

"Woah don't get ahead of yourself there! You know the drill down on the field by 1" Shannon said her head popping out of the duvet and she swung her legs over the side stretching.

"God damnit" Ana groaned not wanting to cheer with her pounding headache. "Just take it easy today yeah" she said and Shannon just put her hands on her hips. Like hell.

"Okay you all know your roles, Sawyer, Boone, Sayid, Nick, join James and Phillip on the offensive line. Sawyer get back in centre, Boone, Sayid you two guard, Nick and James Tackle and Phillip get on the tight end" he said and they all ran into their positions.

Dean took up his role of Quarterback as the coach put the other's in position. "Okay Marai Right wide receiver, we need your pace blistering down that side you got me. Shane you've got left Wide receiver. Joey, Harrison get into your positions at fullback and halfback" he said and they all went to their positions.

"Come on you can do better than that surely?" Shannon practically screamed as she watched her cheerleaders perform their routine very shakily. "Keith what the hell are you doing, straighten your god damn arm" she scolded and he pushed his arm up straighter Kate's legs shaking at how long she had been up there.

"Oooh queen bitch is having a bit of a tantrum" Maddison chuckled as she and everyone else lay on the side of the field their gaze flicking between the practising Jocks to the cheering cheerleaders.

"Cower in fear as the almighty mouth begins her reign" Chrissie mocked nudging Maddie and they started giggling loud.

"What's so funny?" Charlie asked As he sat down next to Megan wondering what the two girl were laughing at.

"Shannon's on a wild one" Megan said to him chuckling at the blonde's temper which was getting worse by the minute.

"She's worse than bloody Hitler that one" he said and the other's chuckled at him. "Seriously she's a Tyrant and her tyranny knows no bounds" he added and Megan sniggered loudly at this.

"Hey Cass, your new beau is working his body over there take a look" Calla said pointing to Keith who was currently stretching himself out. Cassie blushed at their words but she found that she couldn't take her eye away from him.

"Dribble I see dribble" Megan shouted in hysterics and Cassie wiped at her mouth but thankfully she found that she wasn't dribbling and sent Megan the most hurtful look she could muster. "Only joking but seriously you've got it bad girl" she added leaning back on her elbows casually.

"No I don't" Cassie retorted crossing her hands over her chest in defiance.

"Keep telling yourself that sweetheart" Chrissie laughed digging the girl in the ribs playfully. "Hey huys do you wanna go up to the ice cream parlour, I am boiling and could do with something cold" she said tying her hair up in a high ponytail to pull the hair off her sweating neck.

They all nodded in agreement and trudged off. "Hey I noticed you were getting awfully pally with the gustapo last night" Chrissie added using Maddie's nickname for the core group of populars as they made their way onto the beach and decided to walk along it towards Verdi's.

Calla just shrugged her shoulders. "I might have been a teeny tiny bit wrong about them I'll admit that, sure they can be shallow, antagonistic, big headed but they're actually a good bunch to be about, they are normal human beings" she said back to her friend as they kicked the sand from under their feet.

"Don't let Maddie hear that! She's still miffed at the whole business with Josh and Alexis and all that! At the moment she hates them all with a burning passion" Chrissie chuckled back as she sent a glance at the girl just behind her.

"I'm not planning on it" Calla chuckled back as she linked arms with her friend.

"So I heard about your little antics this morning! I could hear you banging that bloody thing from my room" Charlie said as he walked alongside Megan and she beamed at him happily. She was glad that for the first time in a while he was paying attention to her and not Claire. That's not to say that Cliare wasn't shooting looks at the two every now and then.

"Hey they left me no choice, they were sitting ducks" she chuckled back as she remembered the whole incident. She could also remember being pounced on by Maddie who was very upset at the wake up call. That was a sentence worse than death.

"You're in a league of your own you know that" Charlie spoke softly as he fiddled with the bass guitar that was hanging off his shoulder.

"You don't need to remind me about that" she chuckled and he winked at her causing her to blush a bright crimson. She looked at the floor not wanting to show him what he had just managed to ddo. Megan Bates never blushed it was a fact of life. And she couldn't believe that a charismatic, bass playing English boy had managed to do that to her. Damn him and his sexy accent she whispered inwardly bowing her head until the colour left her cheeks. This was going to be a long day.


"Come on for god sakes can't you guys do anything, you're at least two beats off cue" Shannon shouted as she threw her pompoms down in frustration at their lack of commitment to the routine.

"Okay no need to throw your pompoms out of the freaking pram Shannon" Ana snapped placing her hands on her hips. "Look it's our first practice of the year and we're all hungover, cut us some slack yeah" she said standing with all the other cheerleaders.

"Cut you some slack! This year we are winning Nationals and that is simple as! So you need to get your ass into gear now. The liberty poses in the air aren't nowhere near sharp enough! The flips are lackustre, and te gestures are all over the shop".

Lexi whispered to Kate who was next to her. "Is it just me or can't you take the girl seriously when she uses big words, it's like a toddler speaking russian or something! it's just no right!" she said and Kate had to stifle the laugh that escaped her lips. Shannon picked up on th echuckling and turned her attention to Kate.

"And your jumps need to improve, you're the weakest link here today" she said sharply leaving Kate completely stunned at her outburst.

"Okay just because someone's in a foul mood today don't take it out on us" Scarlett said getting agitated at the girls harshness towards them. She knew she needed to intervene now before Kate and Shannon would end up in a slanging match.

Shannon's eyes darted between them all burning furiously. "I expect hell of a lot more than this! Just go" she said waving her hand at them and slowly the cheerleaders all split everyone going in separate directions.

Someone shoot me please Shannon groaned inwardly as she rubbed her sore head.

"Okay boys that's enough, get yourselves cleaned up first game of the season is in ten days" Coach clapped as he watched his boys head off towards the locker room. They always got to finals but the could never win.

That's gonna change Sawyer chuckled inwardly knowing that was what his coach was thinking. Damn right it was.
