"Hey, I'm Jake Anderson," the boy introduced, Nicole turning away so he couldn't see.

"Jake, could you please sit over there?" the teacher asked as Jake walked over to an open chair and sat down. Katie shifted away as well, Jake walking smoothly past her.

Nicole looked up to see Jake and Derrington glare at one another. "Hey Nicole," Jake said calmly, the alpha twitching. She looked at him, a fake grin plastering her perfect face.

"Hey Jake," she mumbled, quickly looking away. Jake went to his seat and Mrs. Harven started the lesson. Nicole was scribbling flowers on the corner of her notebook when Katie tapped her leg.

"Look at Derrington," Katie wrote lightly in her notebook. Nicole tilted her head to see Derrington glaring at Jake.

"Derrington, you okay?" Nicole asked her boyfriend quietly. He nodded quickly and looked down at the textbook. Katie and Nicole exchanged glances before sighing and pretending that they were actually listening to Mrs. Harven.

"School is so boring!" Natalie exclaimed, stretching her arms before taking a bite out of her low calorie ham sub.

"Natalie, tell us something we don't know!" Angela replied, throwing a grape at the blond and having it bounce off her cheek.

"So, what do you guys want to do this weekend?" Jacqueline asked, girls at other tables turning to hear.

"We could go to the amusement park!" Katie recommended enthusiastically. "All of us, including the boys!" The boys gave each other high fives before Nicole tapped her pen loudly against the table.

"We have to plan this first! Now, who's parents are going to drive?" Nicole said, opening her pink organizer.

"My dad can drive, he's so proud of his new car he'll drive anyone!" Angela stated confidently. "Can Brian come?"

"Of course Angela, we'd never leave your boyfriend behind!" Nicole scoffed, patting Angela's hand sarcastically before jotting something down. "So Angela's dad can drive. I think my mom could too." Nicole chewed on the end of her pink fluffy pen and wrote her name down. "I want everyone to write down their name here if they're coming, okay?" the alpha instructed, ripping a page out her organizer and passing it around.

"This is going to be so much fun!" Jacqueline squealed, clapping her hands. Everyone agreed when Nicole felt a tap on her shoulder. It was Spencer, Ben, and another guy with bright blond hair and green eyes.

"What's going to be fun?" he asked playfully, lacing an arm around Nicole's neck.

"We're going to the amusement park," Angela replied, tugging at a loose hair.

"Cool, I want to go!" Ben burst in, pushing past Spencer. He looked at Katie and grinned, Aaron glaring at the ninth grader. Nicole sighed and crossed her arms.

"Fine, do you think mom could drive a few of us?" she said, scribbling Ben's name onto the paper.

"Yeah, why not? It's about time she took us somewhere," Spencer said, the group giving each other eager looks.

"My dad can drive too," Cam offered. "But I'll only go if Claire comes," he said, spinning in his seat. Nicole almost spit her diet coke when she heard this request.

"But if she goes, the whole Pretty Committee will go!" Nicole said, coughing a bit. The Prep Posse sent each other nervous glances.

"Nicole, let them come. You don't have to be with them. It's a huge park," Spencer whispered into his sister's ear. Her eyebrows creased in disapproval.

"If they come, I want them in a different care pool," she said coldly to Cam, him shrugging.

"That's good enough for me," he replied, standing from the table and walking to The Pretty Committee. Nicole noticed Derrington stiffen then relax.

"Derrick, you okay?" she asked quietly as people arranged who they would ride with for the carpool. He looked at her, his playful brown eyes dull.

"Yeah, I'm fine," he smirked, wrapping an arm around her shoulder. "But I'll be great if you give me a kiss," he said, shaking his butt. Nicole smiled at him, tilting her head.

"You better do it fast before I change my mind," she said, closing her eyes as he pressed his lips against her's. The table whooped but quickly quieted down when they saw some teachers turn their heads to look. He pulled away, whipping some red lip gloss off his lips.

"I'm satisfied," he laughed, making Nicole's stomach flutter. Spencer sent Nicole a warning glance before turning away to talk to Angela and Jacqueline. Ben was sitting next to Katie, fiddling with the necklace around his neck when he saw Nicole and Derrington separate.

"Hey Katie, wanna do the same?" he asked, a low growl at the back of his throat. Katie gave him a disgusted look.

"Ben, my first kiss will be with my boyfriend, and you are definitely not him," she scoffed, re-curling one of her curls with her finger. Ben made a puppy face.

"Aw, that hurt," he said, a bit muffled by his over puffy under lip. Katie laughed, taking a bite of her sandwich. The bell went off and everyone quickly got up, heading for the doors. Massie ran over to Spencer, taking his shoulder lightly and spinning him around.

"So you're going, right?" she said, happy that she put on an extra coat of lip protection. Spencer smiled at her.

"Well of course Miss Block," he said with his best imitation of an English man. That made her giggle. "Later," he said, tapping his textbook against her forehead and walking out with Ben and the white blond boy that they found out was named Brett. The Pretty Committee huddled around her like a swarm of mosquitoes.

"He's totally into you," Dylan burped, the group waving away the smell.

"I hope so, he's perfect," Massie purred, walking forward.

"What about the fact that he's Nicole's brother?" Kristen added in. Massie grinned evilly.

"That makes it even better. Considering Nicole's ex-boyfriend is now attending our school," she said, lifting her finger.

Alicia lifted her's. "Point."

Amusement Park

Front Gate

1:42 p.m.

October 6th

The girls filed out of Mrs. Langdon's Range Rover and Nicole turned towards her mother's window. "I'll meet you here at six. Then we'll go eat and go home," Alexandria explained sternly, Nicole sighing.

"Yes mother, we'll be on time," she smiled, The Prep Posse waiting for her near the gate. The mother nodded and drove off, the brunette turning just in time to see the other cars pull up and the people climbing out.

"Nicole!" Derrington's face lit up, him running over and squeezing the breath out of her. Katie and Natalie giggled, them running towards each other slowly then hugging.

"Oh Derrington, you're so hot!" Katie chanted.

"Oh Nicole, you're so beautiful!" Natalie said, whipping away fake tears. They both stopped when a glare pierced them, almost burning a hole through their flesh. Jacqueline pulled them away, Angela looking for Brian.

"Hey guys," Spencer smiled, the guys walking behind him. The parents drove off, Nicole some how convincing them to enter through a different entrance.

"This is going to be so much fun! Roller Coaster first!" Natalie exclaimed, jabbing her finger up in the air, an assortment of bangles falling down her slender wrist. Brett chuckled and grinned.

"Hey, you're Natalie Bellamont, right?" he asked politely, sticking his hand out. Natalie nodded and took his hand in her's.

"And you are Brett Jacob," she replied coolly, brushing some white blond hair out of her face. Her bangs were pushed to the side perfectly, hair in two loose pigtails. He nodded happily before pulling away. The Prep Posse exchanged glances before Natalie shrugged sarcastically and smiled before walking closer to the gate.

"What are we standing around for, lets go!" she said, the group cheering as well as they entered the park.

"So, what do you want to ride first Derrick?" Nicole asked, her arm looped around Derrington's.

"Do you like roller coasters?" he asked, everyone chatting among themselves.

"If we're going to a coaster, lets go to the cobra first! It's the newest ride!" Kemp suggested, walking next to Chris Plovert and Cam Fisher. Nicole's stomach leaped, she loved roller coasters. Nicole grabbed Derrington's hand and dashed off.

"Hurry up! I wan to ride it!" she exclaimed, Derrick almost tripping over his own feet.

"Whoa, slow down!" he said, everyone running after them. Nicole stopped when she saw the sign for The Cobra and stood in line.

"This is going to be so much fun!" she squealed, brushing some hair to the side to reveal her crown shaped earrings. Cam tugged on her sleeve gently, making her look towards him.

"Claire just texted me, I have to go meet her," he smiled apologetically. Nicole gave him a disappointed look before shrugging it off.

"We'll meet you later then," she said, Cam, Kemp, and Chris Plovert walking away.

"Geeze," Katie snorted as she sent a glance towards the alpha. Nicole made sure that she looked like she didn't care.

"So, can you believe we're all going into high school next year?" Spencer grinned, crossing his arms and leaning onto the line rail.

"Yeah, but you guys are skipping a grade remember, well sort of. Since Briarwood is seventh through ninth and it became Atlantis, you're going into high school tenth grade," Natalie stated, Ben nodding.

"High school is actually starts through ninth but Briarwood made it wacko and kept you an extra year," Angela sighed, leaning against her boyfriend Brian. He laced her arms around her waist and tilted his chin onto her shoulder.

"At least we'll be together," he said, mostly directing it to the Spanish beauty who nodded in response. As the group had noticed, they were the most affectionate couple. Nicole felt like she was going to gag, secretly pointing her finger into her mouth. Jacqueline, Natalie, and Katie giggled.

"Ah, more girls. Do you think I could hook up with an eleventh grader?" Brett said, wiggling his brown eyebrows. Natalie looked at him, surprised with herself for reacting. "Spencer, didn't you say you wanted a girlfriend?"

The Langdon shrugged, stepping forward when the line moved. "I have my eyes on a certain girl right now." The Prep Posse gave each other knowing glances while Nicole stiffened, feeling her knuckles go white as she gripped the rail. Five minutes later the group got into the coaster and were climbing up the hill.

"So Brett, before we fall to our impending doom, do you like older girls?" Natalie asked curiously, the blond sitting next to her. He looked at her then leaned his head back, letting her only see the side of his face.

"I don't really care I guess," he mumbled, looking forward. "Hey, Ben!" he yelled out to the car up front.

"Yeah?" Ben called over his shoulder, Katie sitting next to him reluctantly. Aaron was in a seat with Jacqueline, her giggling from his rigid expression.

"Aaron, are you tense?" she joked, patting his shoulder. He didn't say anything.

"I don't really care," Ben replied. "What about you Aaron?" he said loudly.

Aaron's face brightened when he was added into the conversation. "I prefer girls my a-" suddenly the coaster was zooming down the hill, hair flying backwards. The group screamed and whooped loudly as The Cobra did twists and turns, sometimes going back wards. The ride halted to a stop, all the teenagers crawling out of the cars shakily.

"That.."

"Was…"

"Awesome!" all the guys yelled, girls waiting in line seeing them then giggling among themselves. The groups wandered around the park, going on rides and enjoying themselves when they decided to split up, the couples going together of course.

"So, what do you want to ride next?" Nicole asked Derrington, both sitting on a bench licking icecream. He shrugged, watching some energetic kids run by. Nicole raised an eyebrow. "Are you….bored?"

Derrick quickly sat up straight. "No, I'm just thinking where we should g-"

"What's wrong?"

"I know the perfect place," he grinned evilly, making Nicole jitter. He took her hand, eating the rest of his cone, and started to walk quickly before standing in front of a dark building.

"What's this?" Nicole mumbled, licking away the left over icecream from her lips. Derrick nudged her, pointing to a sign. It was a wooden sign, fake blood dripping off of it.

"Don't tell me this is a haunted house," Nicole exclaimed, gripping her bag tight.

"You scared?" Derrington teased, poking her red cheek. She blushed.

"Am not!"

"if you need to, you can hold onto my arm," her boyfriend offered, sticking out his tanned arm which she quickly declined.

"No thank you," she stuck out her tongue, walking confidently to the ticket booth. The man was old, a map of wrinkles all over his face. "Two tickets," Nicole said a bit loudly. He sniffed loudly before leaning forward.

"Ten bucks," he said, definitely not having a good day.

"What, that is so over pr-!" she stopped herself, sliding a crisp ten dollar bill under the glass. He raised an eyebrow at her before sliding back two tickets.

"Have a nice day, mam," the old man sneered, Nicole turning away in disgust. She went back to Derrick, sticking a ticket into the pocket on the front of his button up.

"Let's go," she demanded, Derrington grinning.
