Shit. I was supposed to post this months ago. Shit. Sorry. Here's the next chapter. Sorry to my friend, the real author!

I stayed up in Artie's office and thought about what HG had told me. Claudia and Steve came through the door after awhile.

"Where is everyone?" Claudia asked, glancing at the empty office.

"Pete touches a comic book, I don't know what happened but Pete's back at Leena's showering, Artie's taking a shower here and HG and Myka are downstairs, I assume cleaning purple goo off the floor," I told them, following them out to the landing.

Purple goo trails were evident from Artie and Pete walking back.

"Oh boy. I'm assuming Artie is not happy," Claudia commented.

I shook my head. "Nope. He seemed pretty livid, grumbling and all."

"Well, it's good that we won't be here for that lecture," Jinksy mentioned, Claudia looked at him confused. "I told Crissi we'd go clear out her dorm, and after this I don't think Pete's getting the okay to go too."

Claudia laughed and we walked back to the office to see Artie there with wet hair. "Oh, good. You're back. Where is it?" Claudia pointed to the static bag on his desk. "Good, I'll have Leena shelve it."

"Artie?" Claudia started. "Steve and I are going to go clear out Crissi's dorm, okay?"

Artie glanced between the three of us before nodding. "Take the SUV. How'd it go today, Crissi?"

I shrugged. "Fine, I suppose. The kid that walked with me was kind of annoying. They'll call you about my classes later they said," I told him as I followed Claudia and Jinksy out of the warehouse.

I climbed into the back if the SUV and got settled for the drive to the university. It wasn't too far away, at least by warehouse standards. "So what were you guys snagging earlier?" I asked as we drove through Univille.

Claudia glanced back at me. "It was nothing. Honestly, Artie could have sent Myka and Pete. I wanted to go to the school with you."

"You didn't miss anything, it's okay. Other than some kid annoying the shit out of me," I told her. She felt guilty, and as much as I was upset she wasn't there, I didn't have to add to it.

Claudia smirked. "What was he doing?"

I shrugged. "He said he wanted the truth about me before the rumors flew."

"So, my dear, little sister, what is your story?" Claudia mocked.

"Nothing special. Mom and Dad died when I was little and I lived with Josh in Europe until now. I've decided to wait until rumors fly and confirm the craziest things as I go. The more insane they think it is, the more mysterious it is and then no one knows what to believe. They'll leave me alone," I told her.

Claudia shook her head. "And if it bothers you later, we'll send you to Joshua."

I smiled and nodded. Jinksy continued to drive to the university. "Or we could send you to Eureka. I'm sure Doug would take care of you."

"Super-secret-science-ville? Yeah, no thanks," I answered, sure the town was cool but the constant almost blowing up would bug the crap out of me. "Let's see how regular high school goes for a while."

"Probably a good idea," Jinksy agreed. "You need consistency."

I rolled my eyes at him. After a little longer, we pulled into the parking lot of my dorm. I led them to my room and sighed. My roommate was there.

"I haven't seen you in days, where have you been?" Shelby asked.

I sighed. "I'm moving out, dropping out, moving home."

"College too tough?" she asked, half serious, half mocking.

"No!" I glared. "I just don't want to be here anymore."

"Okay enough." Jinksy stopped Shelby before she could make another comment. "Crissi, do you have bags and stuff?"

I nodded and pulled out my bags and boxes. I opened the dresser drawers and took each pile and placed them in a duffle. Claudia was taking the sheets off my bed and Jinksy was cleaning out my desk. My side of the room was pretty bare. Claudia and I took a trip down to the SUV; when we came back, Sam and Tyler were in my room, "talking" with Jinksy.

"Who are these guys?" Claudia asked me.

"Crissi, these guys are saying they're your friends. You've never mentioned anyone before," Jinksy stated.

I rolled my eyes. "They're not friends. They begged me to tutor them for calculus. They're watching out for their grades, and the ones who hacked my file." I glanced at the two boys. "They're kind of sensitive about people hurting me. You might want to get out because you weren't invited in."

"We're just seeing what was going on, we saw you taking stuff out of your room," Sam said.

"That's not any of your business, you don't care, you just want the freak to help you pass a class," I replied back.

Jinksy looked at me. "You're not a freak, Crissi. Don't call yourself that. Did you ever call her that?" He turned to glare at the boys.

"No, we would never do that," Tyler answered quickly.

Claudia and I watched Steve take two very deep breaths trying to calm himself down before quickly stepping back. Clearly it wasn't working. "I'm going to take this down."

Claudia stepped closer to the guys. "I'll going to take that to mean you were lying. Which means you called my little sister a freak."

I pulled on Claudia's hand. "Claudia, forget it. They're idiots, not worth it."

"They called you a freak!"

"Never to her face though!" Sam defended, or attempted to.

"Dude!" Tyler yelled. "That's not helping."

Claudia glared at them. "So, not only were you calling her a freak, but you did it behind her back where she couldn't defend herself or correct you."

Shelby grabbed her purse. "I'm out. It was fun, sort of, while it lasted, Crissi. Don't kill the boys." She left the room.

"Claudia, just drop it. We need to finish packing. Pete wanted to come before, he's probably on his way with Mykes and HG," I told her.

Apparently that was the wrong attempt at motivation because Claudia smirked and said, "Good, then we'll wait for them. Between Pete, HG, and Myka, I'm sure they'll learn some respect."

I groaned. "Claudia!"

She pulled out her cell phone and I could hear Pete and Myka's voices on the other line. That meant that HG and Myka finished cleaning up Pete's mess.

"Yeah, the SUV is getting pretty packed," Claudia explained as her reasoning for them to come. "And some of her furniture is heavy now that it's put together."

"We're already halfway there," Pete said, over the line.

I looked over at the boys. "You might want to get out of here and I don't mean just going back to your room."

Claudia scoffed. "Nuhuh, I don't think so. Sit." She pointed to the now sheetless bed. Looking down at me she said, "They'll be here in twenty minutes, ten with the way Pete drives."

Jinksy walked back in, still angry. I sat down in my chair and put my face in my hands. Today wasn't going to end well. Jinksy and Claudia moved around the room packing more of my stuff. Sam and Tyler were talking quietly and I rolled my eyes.

"Oh, and we need Pete to get your desk out of here." Claudia smiled. "Forgot about that."

"Or we could just leave it and Shelby could toss it when she leaves," I suggested. "I already have a desk at home."

"You really like this one, we can get rid of the one at home," Jinksy said. He remembered about the one at Leena's.

I sighed. "Fine, since we're just waiting." I pulled my iPod out and plugged my speakers in. Black Veil Brides came through the speakers.

The boys looked at the speakers for a minute. "You listen to this stuff?"

"What? You have a problem with that?" I asked them.

Tyler shook his head. "We had you pegged more for, well, what every teenage girl and half the college campus listens to."

"And what are they listening to?" I glared at them.

"Justin Bieber, One Direction, stuff like that," Sam answered.

Claudia started laughing and I shook my head. "I don't think so."

"Crissi pretty much listens to anything that doesn't suck," Claudia told them.

I rolled my eyes and waited for shit to hit the fan. It would when everyone got here. They all got here way too soon for my liking, but I had to admit I missed them. I miss them all the time. I went over and hugged HG and Myka.

"Please put them on a leash," I asked Myka.

Myka laughed. "I'll try."

I kept my mouth shut and watched the chance of a showdown.

"What's going on?" Pete asked.

Jinksy opened his mouth. "These two conned Crissi into helping them in calculus and called her a freak."

"I can't be an eye witness to this," I told them. I grabbed a small load of stuff when I noticed the look on Pete's face. HG looked pretty pissed off as well. I wanted to watch, but I couldn't. I felt that they were overreacting just a little bit. I had no idea what they were going to do to them. If I wasn't in the room, I couldn't be blamed for it.

As I was packing the car, something was put over my head and I was immersed in darkness. Kicking and screaming, I was carried and put down in what I think was another car.
