Chapter 12! Whoa. Hold On. Well isn't someone still stuck in the past? Whoops! I lose track of the chapters too much.

OK, without looking, I'm going to guess the chapter number!

Chapter...14?

*looks*

Yay! I'm right!

Chapter 14 rated T for reference of beer and drugs.

And if there are, lets say ten year olds reading this, they don't need that stuff in their minds. So they have been warned. Even if it is a minor reference.

Reviewers from Chapter 13:

Callisto- No! I don't want you to die, I'm sorry! Don't worry, I try less cliffhangers. :)

SML- Your welcome! Your comments are awesome!

Scented Candle With Fringe- Thank you! Wha-for real? Yes, it's horrible, isn't it?. :( And now I kinda feel bad because I turned mine in. :( But there was that small amount of time that we had to stress over stupid Hitler projects together! Good luck with that crazy world-war-starter!

super16simone- Thank you! If it was desperate, than, snap, I'm like that a lot too! lol! And I wrote more, so...HAPPINESS!

One of my friends at school says she doesn't like Avril Lavigne and she kinda sucks. I object! And one of my guy firneds says she sucks and she's like another Lady Gaga. I EXTREMELY OBJECT!

What do you think about that? I find Avril Lavigne to be completely amazing and not like Lady Gaga in any way.

Disclaimer: I don't own this story, the chapters, the reviewers, Hitler projects, Avril Lavinge, Lady Gaga, Couplets, and ASOUE. I own nothing. Literally...:(

This chapter takes place on Sunday, the day before the project for Miss Bass's class is due... Just thought you should know that :P

Couplets:

Chapter 13:

"You're what?" Carmelita yells.

The elevator door dings on her floor and the door opens. A guy I recognize as Mason begins to step in.

"Nuh-uh, Mason!" Carmelita yells at him, "Girl Talk! Go!"

He raises an eyebrow as he holds his hands up in defense and takes a step back.

I remember when I used to have a crush on him...*sigh* those were the days...then I met Klaus. And I haven't been exactly the same...

When the doors close, Carmelita presses the button for the top floor, "You're what?"

"I'm in love with Klaus. Don't make me spell it out."

"Let me get a hold on what just happened in here," she says, "First, the Bonnie prank thing. Second, Kladora moment. Third-"

"Wait," I stop her, "Kladora? When you did you come up with that?"

"A while ago. Celebrities have pet names, why not us? Or in this case, you and Klaus?"

"Um, sure...okay continue."

"So, third, you announce your undying love for him?"

"I didn't announce my so called 'undying love' for him. I specifically said 'I'm in love with Klaus Baudelaire'. Not 'Klaus Baudelaire is the love of my life and I'll die if I don't see him everyday!' Geez, don't exaggerate so much!"

"Okay, sorry, but...do you really love him?"

"I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it. That would be stupid."

The elevator opens at the top floor. She closes the doors and presses the button for the lobby.

"Do we really have to keep doing this?" I say, referring to us staying in the elevator. "Can't we go to your room?"

"Haven't you ever heard the saying 'Walls have ears'? Someone could eavesdrop on us!"

"Better than being video taped," I say, gesturing to the video camera on the ceiling.

Carmelita crosses her arms. "Good point..."

In Carmelita's room...

"So you-" Carmelita is interrupted by her cell phone ringing. She looks at the name and smiles.

She flips it open and begins talking, "Hey, Peter!...Really, what?...He's what?...You can't be serious!...But he knows that I don't like her! How could he do this to me?...Me too...You know what? I'm going to dump him right now....Yeah, of course I am. Thanks for the heads-up, Peter! Bye!" She hangs up.

I sit down on the edge of Carmelita's bed. "What was that all about?"

She holds up a finger and dials a number in her phone. "Hi, Jake?... Don't call me that anymore!... You know why I'm mad! Don't play dumb with me!... I told you I didn't like her! Why would you do this?... Yeah, who else?... No! Stop! It's over Jake! O-ver!" She hangs up her phone.

I'm a little confused...obviously I missed something here. "Uh, Carm..."

Carmelita smiles triumphantly at her phone, "I could so be an actress!"

"I'm sorry, what?"

"Oh, my bad! You don't know what happened, do you?"

"It sounded like you broke up with your boyfriend..."

"Yeah! I did!" She falls backward onto her bed, laughing.

"Oh my gosh, can you please tell me what just happened here?" I ask, impatiently.

"Okay, okay, gosh. You sound like my wife." She sits upright on her bed.

"So," she starts, "I've had a huge crush on Peter since forever right? Well, his best friend, Jake, asked me out. So I decided to take that chance to get him jealous."

"Did it work?" I ask.

"Does Geico save you more 15% or more on car insurance?"

I frown. "I don't know. I don't know, really. I don't have a car."

"I do! Except I have State Farm..."

"So, Peter..." I say, trying to get the conversation back on track.

"Oh, right! So, yeah, Peter got jealous. Whenever the three of us were together, he would act all...well...not Peter. A lot more quiet. And before I started dating Jake, he would be all lively. Then, whenever Jake and I were around him, he would be...blah. And whenever it was just me and him, he would be all Peter again! So that counts for something, doesn't it?"

"Yeah," I agree. "What did he call you to tell you?"

"Oh, nothing important," Carmelita says in a dull voice. "Just that Jake was going to dump me for Bonnie. So I pretended to act mad when I actually could care less. And, as you witnessed, I broke up with him. But out of all of the girls at this school, did he really have to pick Bonnie? Goodness! Anyways, when I told Peter I was going to break up with him, he sounded like he won the lottery! So that's basically how it went down."

"So," I say say slowly, trying to comprehend what she told me, "you used Jake just to get Peter's heart?"

Carmelita stares at me with a big grin plastered on her face as she violent nods her head. "Mmm-hmm!"

I smile, "Interesting."

About an hour later...

I walk down the hall towards the elevator.

Quigley and Duncan must be yelling at each other about where I am. That has happened quite a few number of times. And if I don't get there soon, Violet will join the fight and then some one will call the cops and we'll all be taken downtown where the cops will test all of us for beer and drugs.

Just like last time.

Oh, snap, I gotta get down there now!

I press the button for the elevator. A few seconds later, the doors open and I walk in. I don't pay attention to the person who was in it already...until he speaks.

"Hey, Iz," I look to my left, surprised to see Klaus.

"Oh, hey, Klaus."

We stand next to each other for a few awkward seconds. Then we both, surprisingly, speak at the same time, "Look, I'm sorry."

Then again, at the same time, "Wait, why are you sorry?"

At the same time...again, we say, "You go first."

The elevator doors open.

Klaus closes it and presses the button for the top floor.

"Oh my gosh, we're doing this again!" I say, referring to being with Carmelita in the elevator earlier.

"Doing what again?" he asks, confused.

"Never mind," I say, waving it off. "Look, I'm sorry for jumping to conclusions. For accusing you without knowing the whole story. For not listening to you. Basically, I'm sorry for everything."

"Apology accepted," Klaus says, smiling, "So what changed your mind?"

"What do you mean?"

"The Isadora I know doesn't give in unless it's for good reason. What was it?"

I sigh, "The other day, in the shack, Violet told me what happened. Well, she yelled it, actually. She also said she witnessed it all. Wait, no, shouted."

The doors open and I press the button for the dorm lobby.

Klaus laughs lightly, "Did she have some animal crackers?"

"I believe so, yes. Now why are you sorry?"

Klaus looks up, "Let's see...how do I word this? For making you believe that I liked Bonnie, or something among the lines of that. It makes a lot more sense in my head. Everything, I guess. And alot because it seems like the right thing to say when a girl is mad at you."

I laugh and pat his arm, "Smart boy."

The doors open and we walk into the dorm lobby.

"I thought we left you in the lobby, how come you were back upstairs?" I ask.

"I remembered that I had to work with Jason on something."

We walk outside into the cold night.

"So, are we cool?" He asks, holding out his hand.

I put my hand in his to shake it, "Yeah, we're cool."

"No, Izzy, hold my hand," he says laughing lightly.

"Oh," I say, feeling stupid.

As I place my hand in his, I feel...something. Its hard to explain really. Like that Cinderella III movie. Something like that.

As we walk, I remember detention. It seems like a long time ago. He must've been pretty embarressed.

"Hey, Klaus," I say, "About what happened in detention.."

"Oh, yeah, detention," he stops walking, but doesn't let go. I look up at him and see him blushing slightly.

"Hey, don't-"

I'm interrupted by Duncan yelling from the shack yards away, "I'LL KILL HIM!"

Then Violet yelling, "YOU'LL DO NO SUCH THING, OR I'LL KILL YOU!"

"DO IT!"

"OKAY, LET ME GO GET SUNNY'S PAN!"

"Oh my gosh, I forgot!" I slap myslef mentally. I sprint to the shack with Klaus right behind me.

I throw the door open as we run inside.

Not noticing we're there, Quigley yells, "I'M TELLING YOU! SHE'S AT THAT FREAKING POND THING! Oh wait, there she is."

He finishes calmly, looking at us.

Seeing us together, Duncan shouts, "Klaus likes Isadora!"

Violet facepalms herself as Quigley says, "She already knows that, you idiot! It's the other way around!"

"Oh," Duncan says quietly, "Hey, do me a favor, and go back and we'll try this again."

"Klaus, come on," Violet orders, pulling him towards the door, "We need to go over the grocery list. Sunny's running out of ingredients to make those animal crackers!"

She pushes him outside and closes the door behind them.

I turn to my brothers. "Do you two really have to scream at each other everytime I'm not here when it's dark out?"

"Well, we don't know where you are!" Duncan defends.

"Next time," I say holding up my phone, "call me."

It's done! Woo! My fingers are tired. So Klaus and Isadora are cool now and Carmelita has a love life too. So while my sister reads over this chapter, I'm going to let my hands rest.

Review please!
