Austin: Too high
Can't come down
Losin' my head
Spinnin' 'round and 'round
Do you feel me now?
Oh,
The taste of your lips
I'm on a ride
You're toxic I'm slippin' under
With a taste of a poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic?
And I love what you do
Don't you know that you're toxic?
"Whatever you two are doing you shouldn't be doing it with the door open." Willa said.
She walked in on Austin singing Britney Spears while dancing seductively while Nikki was making it rain on him.
"You're brother is extremely talented and I'm not just saying that so he can perform at my next party." Nikki smiled.
Nikki looked at the dress Willa was wearing. "It looks nice I guess, but I don't see what's the point of wearing it. You're beautiful, not as beautiful as me of course, but beautiful nonetheless." Nikki said.
Willa frowned and adjusted the straps on the dress. "Not everyone thinks so."
"She's just pissy because she thinks Aiden thinks she's a dyke." Austin said as he sipped a pina colada.
Nikki smirked and looked at Willa. "OMG you like Aiden? I could have sworn you were a lesbian."
"Gee thanks Nikki." Willa said.
"Oh, I'm sorry. It's just not a lot if girls do football, and all those other sports. Plus you don't date guys so I just figured-"
"I'm not a lesbian." Willa blurted out.
Nikki looked at Willa and smiled. "Of course not because you have a crush on Aiden."
"I don't like Aiden!" Willa yelled.
Nikki smiled. "Sure Willa, whatever you say. "
Nikki grabbed her makeup kit and sat in front of Willa.
"This is going to be fun."

Zach looked at the poster advertising the school play. It said in bright colored letters: Romeo and Juliet. The Hip Hop Musical.
A part of him really loved theater, although he of course he never told anyone this. He felt like he was living a double life. There was the him that Anna and his mother wanted him to be, and them there was the him who no one knew. Times like this he envied Ethan. He was able to be who he was and didn't care what people thought.
"What are you looking at?" Anna asked.
Zach pushed the flyer in his pocket and smiled. "Nothing babe."
Anna's parents looked at him with a smile. Zach and his mom, and Anna's parents and little sister currently sat at the table of a Japanese Steakhouse. Anna loved the restaurants where the chefs make the food in front of you, and as usual she got what she wanted.
"So Zachary, what are your plans after high school?" Anna's father asked.
Zach gulped. Considering he would be graduating next year he was asked that question a lot. However he did not know where he was going after highschool. He didn't know which college was right for him. His grades were mediocre and he wasn't really involved. Anna however has been planning her life out since preschool.
"I-"
"Zach will also be going to Duke. He's interested in Business and Finance." Anna said.
Her father nodded in approval. Zach frowned why did she answer for him. Did she not think he was capable if making his own decisions? Or did she just think he must not have free will and would go along with whatever she said. After all it was what he'd been doing for five years.
"Zach you never told me this." His mother said.
She smiled like she was proud of him. "I'm am so happy to see the man you'd become, despite the fact there wasn't a man in the picture."
Anna's mother cleared her throat. "Forgive me for snooping, but is Roger not involved in Zach's life?"
"No. That bastard only likes to sleep with that harlot and take that blond bastard child to swim." His mother scoffed.
Zach felt his heart sink a little. He'd had held resentment over the fact his father didn't call him, yet raised Ethan. When he was younger he would spend every birthday crying, wondering why his daddy couldn't make it. Meanwhile he was at Ethan's party. Zach remembered when he was thirteen and saw Ethan and Roger playing football at the park. He had a massive anxiety attack moments after. Luckily Anna was able to help. Zach often wondered why a perfect girl like that would deal with him and all his baggage.
"I know it's not the same, but Zachary I always looked at like a son I never had." Her father said.
Zach smiled. "Thank you sir."
"Which is why I was happy to hear you wanted to be an intern at my firm this summer." He said.
"When did I say that?" Zach asked.
Anna laughed awkwardly. "Come on babe you know you told me you were interested last week."
Zach frowned. "Actually I was interested in going out for the school play."
Everyone froze.
"Since when were you into theater?" His mother asked.
Anna frowned. "You never told me this."
"Auditions are next week." Zach said.
Anna's father laughed. "Very funny Zachary."
Zach crossed his arms and frowned. "I'm not joking."
"You can't make a career out of theater. You think Harvard is going to care you can sing on a stage and shake your ass?" Her father said.
"What if I become a famous actor?" Zach asked.
"Good luck. We live in Florida, do you see any big movie stars around here?" Her father said.
"Kyle I would appreciate it if you didn't talk to my son like that." His mother said.
He frowned. "This is his future. How does he expect to support himself and my daughter."
"Kyle don't make me-"
"Who said I wanted to be with your daughter." Zach mumbled under his breath.
He didn't mean to say out loud, yet everyone turned to him. His mother had a face of shock, Anna had tears coming down her face, while her father looked like he wanted to murder Zach.
Anna got up from the table and ran. Zach chased after her.
"Babe come back." He said. They were both out the restaurant and she was making her way to the car. She stopped and looked at him.
"Did you mean it?" Anna asked.
Her makeup was streaming down down her face.
"Mean what?" Zach said dumbly.
"YOU KNOW WHAT THE FUCK I'M TALKING ABOUT ZACHARY CEDRIC JACOBS!" Anna cursed.
Zach sighed. "I love you, but-"
"Is this about me not wanting to have sex?" Anna asked.
"Really Anna? I finally tell you how I'm feeling and you assume it's about sex?" Zach asked.
"For five years you have controlled everything I have said, thought, or did!" Zach yelled.
"I do everything to please You! And you just assume that you can make me do whatever you want! What about what I want. You didn't know I liked acting because you didn't care to know. It didn't fit your model of a perfect boy. You didn't even ask me if I had plans to do the goddamn internship! You just assumed I would just follow what you said!" Zach said.
He looked at her. "I can't live like this. You're constantly suffocating me." Zach said.
Anna wiped a tear away. "I only wanted to make you better."
"That implies there's something wrong with me." Zach said.
He turned and began to walk off. Anna looked up at him. "Babe where are you going?"
"To a party. Don't follow me." Zach said.
Anna got in the car and closed. She put her head in her lap and began to cry.

Ethan was almost out the door when his father stopped him.
"Where do you think you're going?" He asked.
Ethan looked at him and tried to find a facial expression that wouldn't anger his father.
"To a party." Ethan said.
His father frowned. "It's late you can't go out, who knows what of lunatics are going to be out there."
I'm more worried about the monsters in my home. Ethan thought.
"Okay dad whatever you say." Ethan said.
He went to his room and closed his door. He sighed. He looked at a photo of him and his mom. He sighed.
"Why did you leave me?" Ethan asked sadly.
Sometimes he envied Zach, he had a loving mother, a hot girlfriend, and didn't have to deal with their father.
*
"Dad are you sure it's okay for me to go?" Nina asked.
She looked at her father was currently holding her little sister Caterina, while helping her siblings Lisa and Mateo with their homework.
"Nina you're always in this house cooking and cleaning, you deserve one night to party with your friends." Her father said.
Nina looked away uncomfortably. "Well if you really need me to, I can stay home."
Lisa looked up with a smirk. "Nina's scared to go to a party."
"I am not Lisa! I've been to plenty if highschool parties." Nina lied.
The thought of being in a social situation with her classmates, terrified her. She was practically invisible to most of them. The quiet girl in the back of the classroom. Some thought she didn't speak English. Yet her best friend Yazmin begged her to come to a party with her. Nina reluctantly agreed and asked her father to watch her siblings.
"Mija if only your mother could see how beautiful you look right now." Her father said as he planted a kiss on her cheek.
He waved as she left. "Be home by 11:30."
"I'll be home by 10:00!" Nina said.
She saw Yazmin in the car blasting music. She waved to Nina. "Hey girl you ready to party!
Nina nodded. She hopped on the car and hoped nothing bad would happen.

Nikki, Willa, and Austin walked in. It was normal for everyone to be paying attention to Nikki. She ruled the school. Yet eyes fluttered to Willa. Everyone turned to see Willa. They didn't see the tomboy who was on the football team. They saw a beautiful girl. Willa was amazed how a dress and some makeup can change someone's perception.
Aiden saw this and his jaw dropped. Willa was gorgeous. Well of course she'd always been gorgeous yet she didn't expect her to flaunt it.
"Willa you look...You're wearing a dress and makeup." Aiden said.
Willa rolled her eyes. "I know surprising Aiden. Most people thought I was too much of a boy to pull it off."
Aiden frowned. His face changed to apologetic when he realized what she was talking about. "Willa you know I didn't mean that."
"You didn't? Then why did you say that? To embarrass me? Something you can laugh to the guys about?" Willa glared.
Aiden reached out but she pulled away. "You know I think I'm going to show my new look to Desmond. I think he'd appreciate. And now that I think about, he is sort of cute." Willa said.
Aiden looked crushed when she said that. Everyone in the room could feel his sadness.
"I hope he makes you happy." Aiden said.
Willa sighed and crossed her arms. She walked away pulling Nikki with her. Nikki smiled.
"Way to go girl. I thought you were just going to give him and stern talking to, but you obliterated that boy's heart." Nikki smiled.
Willa frowned. "Do you think I did the right thing."
"If he's going to treat you like that, then he deserves it." Nikki said.
Both girls stopped when they bumped into Zach. They noticed his eyes were red and puffy.
"Zach what's wrong?" Willa asked.
Zach didn't answer. Willa pulled him along and looked back at Nikki. "I'll talk to you later."
Nikki nodded. Nikki turned back and bumped into Aiden. "God I really need to stop bumping into people."
She looked at Aiden. "What do you need?"
"Does Willa actually like Desmond?" Aiden asked.
Nikki crossed her arms and frowned. "Why does it matter? Do you actually like her?"
"No don't be ridiculous." Aiden said.
Nikki pouted. "Not even a little. Do you have your eyes in someone else?"
Aiden frowned. He decided to lie. "Maybe I do. You're more my type."
Nikki smirked. "Honey I'm everybody's type."
Nikki didn't realize it but she was moving closer to Aiden. Aiden pushed a lock of hair out of her face.
"You're very pretty." Aiden said.
This was wrong. She wasn't Willa. Aiden told himself. Nikki told herself she shouldn't be in this situation.
"Don't tell me, show me." Nikki said.
Aiden kissed her. Little did they know Willa came up and saw the entire exchange. She gasped in shock and in pain. She looked as Aiden pushed Nikki to the walk as they continued to make out.
"Everyone can I have your attention please!" Austin yelled.
Everyone turned to face him. He stood on a small stage, and had his guitar out.
"My name is Austin and this here is a little song I wrote."
Austin began to sing. Not a single person spoke, everyone took time to admire his voice and talent.
Meanwhile outside the house Leto appeared.
"Apollo...I have found you." She said.

Yeah so I'm planning on next chapter on being the final part of the flashback story. Next chapter Austin will be morphing, also I'm just going to warn you now but next chapter will feature an attempted rape scene.
