Ok there area few thingsI want to say beforeI start. One:I dont OWNSky High or any of the characters affiliated with it. Two:I don't own "hello kitty" either! Three: I do own Arcana and her crew. Cane, Karma, Sam... etc. Four: Because I thrive of Reviews I'm thinking the only way to get more is through blackmail... So I'm thinking along the lines of 8 reviews and i'll update? I think thats fair...


The night went semi normally, except for a few incidents with pop corn and Layla's rather innocent ears. We watched a few movies, Layla ended up dead asleep drooling on my shoulder by the third one. And warren well he bailed by the second saying that he needed to get home. I had to get Cane to carry Layla up the stairs, he complained the whole way up about how heavy she was and how come no one else was carrying her. I pointed out that the only other two males capable enough for the task were asleep on the couch and that the other 2 were too intoxicated that I wouldn't trust them with a rubber ball let alone Layla and a set of evil stairs. So after I called her parents and explained the 'situation' to them they were ok with the fact that their daughter was at a stranger's house and she was staying over night. Her parents were way to trusting or Layla was way too trustworthy. Neither sat too well with me. Neither had waking up at 7:32 in the morning with a red head drooling into my neck. I was in one of the biggest dilemmas of my life. How to wake drooling beauty without causing apocalyptic embarrassment to both of us. Trust me it's not an easy thing, and I hadn't had coffee yet either. So just plain waking her was out of the question, so was just moving cause that would wake her and we were back at square one. FUCK! I was not a happy camper. This was just one of the reasons why I didn't have female friends… not that I had ever been in this situation before. But still…

'Rumnbshgb…' Layla groaned turning slightly. Oh shit, she's waking up. Um… I'll pretend to be asleep she'll wake up and she'll roll away mortified. Clenching my eyes I prayed to whoever was listening that Layla would wake up and roll away. Any more slobber and my necklace was going to start to rust. I really really liked this necklace. There was only one thing that I could do really. I pushed her off the side of the bed in one smooth move. Schooled my face into one of an apologetic cringe and looked down into her shocked face.

'Sorry,' I apologized. Come on I was… sort of.

'Huh? Where am I? What time is it?' arggg… too many questions for a poor coffee deprived pyromaniac.

'My place, you crashed and burned last night.' I said groggily getting up and heading for the door. I pointed to the door that led to the bathroom on the way.

'Shower and stuff. Feel free to borrow clothes. Be downstairs,' I said yawning. Hoping that that all made sense. Stretching and walking all at the same time. Hey I can multi task. Go me. Now… coffee.

20 minuets later Layla came down wearing a pair of my pants that I had forgotten that I owned. She was wearing the same shirt that she had yesterday.

'Coffee,' I said pointing to the pot, 'and you may find food around somewhere. Check the fridge you may be lucky for left over vegetarian pizza.' I shrugged. Yes… well… now what? Bus. Right school bus. I watched from my perch on the kitchen table as Layla moved around the kitchen with ease.

'Bus'll be here in 15,' I said absently starting into my second coffee.

'Aren't you changing?' she asked. I looked down. Black t-shirt with combat pants. What was wrong with that? I frowned and nodded.

'Your problem?' I asked confused.

'They're the clothes you slept in,' she returned. Ok that was weird I mean as long as I didn't smell and I looked half decent then I didn't care. Much.

'Ahhh…' I commented. 'I'll go change then shall I?' I said heading for the door.

'You do that,' Layla said nodding in approval. God help us all. Walking into my toxic bomb site I grabbed the first to top and bottom things that I could find. Which turned out to be another black t-shirt with a red cross sewn onto it raggedly, it was tight and loose at the same time. It was cropped so that it came just under my belly button and a micro mini skirt with red ribbon running around the hem. Yet again thanks to my weight loss it hung precariously on my hips, the top of my hello kitty underwear peeped out the top of it. I really needed to find my belt soon.

'ARCANA bus is here,' Layla yelled. Sighing I yanked on my boots and raced out to meet her.

'You're wearing that?' Layla demanded as we ran towards the bus. Great! I can't win can I?

'Thanks for waiting Ron,' Layla panted. Ok so the girl wasn't fit. We only ran about 200 meters.

'No problem, a friend of Will Stronghold is a friend of mine. Ron Wilson. Bus Driver!' Ron boasted. I pushed Layla into the bus and fixed Ron with a long look.

'Hey, lay off the happy pills.' I commented tapping him on the shoulder. I continued to push Layla to the end of the bus where there were two spare seats. Yay, no having to threaten juniors. Layla sat down behind me next to the chick that could turn into a rat? No I guinea pig and I was stuck next to some random. Well I think he was a random.

'So what's wrong with what I'm wearing?' I asked turning in my seat to look at her.

'Yeah, Layla what's wrong with what's she's wearing?' the guy next to me cut in. oh that's who he was, glowy guy that warren threatened to roast. Zach or something…

'It's not that… well… it's just that… ah…,' Layla tried shaking her hands. 'nothing… nothing is wrong.'

'Up,' a voice commanded, looking up warren toward over me looking ready to melt the school bus. And cook all the inhabitants within. And Cane though that I was moody. And here I was actually happy to see him, what was wrong with me? Zach moved closer to me, which in hindsight wasn't exactly his smartest move. Considering what warren was like around Sam last night. All possessive and Neanderthal-ish. Which kind of made a girl feel special. Sort of.

'Up. Right now, firefly,' warren commanded. 'sit up the front with the other sidekicks.' He finished with a growl. Alrighty then. Zach stood and all but leaped over me to vacate the seat for the rather moody warren. I moved into the newly spare seat and blinked as warren sat with a thud.

'Morning Warren,' Layla said loudly into his ear. I held back a laugh as he cringed and rubbed his ear.

'Grumpcles,' he answered. Was that even a word?

'Rough night?' I asked. By rights as a girlfriend it was my duty to question why my boyfriend was more moody then usual. Warren nodded and gave me nothing else. Or not. Great… now I think would not be a good time to demand why he freaked out over my dad. I shook my head and gazed out the window. I really needed to disinfect my neck. I mean Layla had been kissing Will and only who knows what that boys had in his mouth. Arrr… cooties. The straps wrapped themselves around me and a hand took mine in a firm grasp. I glanced up at its owner in confusion. He gazed back. Ok then another mood swing. Ok now he really was giving my title a good run for its money.

'You ok?' he asked. What the hell was up with him?

'Yeah… why wouldn't I be?' I asked in confusion. The coffee had yet to enter the blood stream.

'You look… distant.' I raised an eyebrow, give the boy a cookie. The boy was clueless. Be bails the night before, with no good reason. Has a fit about my father, ignores me and then asks me why I'm distant? He looked so intelligent… in a bad boy kind of way.

'No, I'm just tired,' because I had someone drooling into my neck most of the night. I gave him a small smile. 'So, what's this thing about my dad?' I asked looking into his eyes. Most people find it hard to lie to someone's face.

'I'll talk to you about it later,' he said looking away. Cool, go me. I'd made headway. The bus landed with a thus. Warren stood, still holding my hand and hauled me into him. Hello. I gazed up at him in surprise. Um…

'Come on guys, some of us have class,' Layla interjected pushing at us. Warren gently steared me off the bus and onto the quad outside the school. Turning me around again, he kissed me before I could prepare. Alrighty-ho… my arms moved on their own accord, wrapping themselves around his neck, I stood on tippy toes. All things aside Warren was a great kisser. I had to get closer. That's all that I wanted was to be closer. His hands moved freely on the bare skin on my lower back and on my hips, it tingled wherever his touch moved. Reality seeped back in as I heard a wolf whistle. This wasn't cricket. We were at school. I was wearing a micro mini, that was slipping off my hips because warrens hands were loosening it from its already precarious position. I so needed to find my belt. I pulled back, as good as the kissing was I wasn't about to loose my skirt outside my school. Straightening it I looked up at him.

'Wait,' I said licking my lips and leaning into him. 'That was good and everything…'

'But?' Warren prodded moving in closer his hands back on my hips.

'But, can it wait until lunch, when I'm sitting down. So I don't loose my skirt,' I said gazing up at him.

'Yeah, but I'm holding you too it,' he said leaning in and kissing my cheek. Ok it was official; the evil fairies had kidnapped my bad ass warren and replaced him with a fricking male Stepford wife.

'Um… ok…' I said looking at him weirdly.

'What?' he asked frowning.

'What did you do with the normal warren?' I asked.

'Huh?' he demanded looking even more confused.

'Your all…different… not like… you… demur even.' I said twitching my nose. God-damnit stop with the twitching.

'What isn't this how a boyfriend acts? I mean will acts like this around Layla…' he stopped when I collapsed on the ground laughing hysterically. Not caring that I just gave everyone a good flash of my black and white 'hello kitty' underpants. Oh that was priceless, never in a million years had I seen that one coming. Warren looked at me as though I belonged in a padded white room.

'Your taking advice on how to be a boyfriend off Will?' I chocked out between laughs. Warren nodded not getting it.

'Layla always says that Will perfect and stuff so since it's a trial thing I thought I'd do the conventional boyfriend thing.' he mumbled.

'That's so sad,' I said pulling him down next to me. 'look just act normally if I wanted a boyfriend that acted like will I'd go out with Sam.' He looked me over carefully. I stood and held out a hand. 'Don't worry Sam's like my brother that's icky so just be yourself now ok. But don't stop kissing me… I sort of enjoy learning about the birds and the bees with you.' I said smiling at him.

'Hello kitty?' he asked. I will not blush… I will… fuck.

'Present form a friend,' I said lamely.

'Right…' he said back. Ok there was something that I had to ask him. Right dad.

'So what the hell up with you and my dad again?' I asked. Yay my turn for prodding. The bell sounded before he could answer my question.

'Time for class,' he said evading the question. My eyes narrowed. Oh no he didn't.
