Here's chapter three of the rewrite :)

"Ali, would you mind repeating to the class what I just said?" Mrs. Baker, my psychology teacher, asked me, knowing that I was just about to fall into a deep sleep. I wipe the small amount of drool away from the corner of my mouth and stretched a bit.

"Mrs. Baker, I'd really love to, but I have no idea what you just said, if I'm being honest."

"Will you stop falling asleep in my class and start sleeping in your room?" she said sternly, but smiled at me to let me know I wasn't in trouble.

"I'll try, but no promises," I said and smiled back at he before I began to write down the notes she had written on the board. Mrs. Baker was my favorite teacher here, and I'm pretty sure I'm one of her favorite students. Why else would she let me get away with falling asleep in her class all the time?

"Okay class, next we're going to talk about schizophrenia, which is commonly confused with dissociative identity disorder," Mrs. Baker began to say, and it was the last thing I heard right before I fell back to sleep.

"Honestly, Alessandra. You've slept straight through your class and the next period," Mrs. Baker said disapprovingly as I woke up.

When I sat up and fully realized where I was, I saw that the kids weren't my senior classmates, but Mrs. Baker's freshman history class. I nervously giggled as I checked to make sure there was no drool and I stretched out my sore joints.

"Sorry, Mrs. Baker," I said as I felt my face flush with embarrassment. The freshmen began to laugh at me, until I shot them all a dirty look to shut them up.

"You talk while your in a deep sleep, sweetie," Mrs. Baker told me quietly, making my face even redder. "Would you like a note for the class that you slept through."

"Uh, yeah, if you don't mind. I'm really sorry, I'll make up whatever I missed in your class. I just haven't been sleeping well lately," I mumbled as I gathered my stuff and walked to her desk in the front of the room.

"Don't worry about it. You didn't sleep through too much this time," she said as she handed me the note. "Catch up on your sleep in someone else's class next time. Or, better yet, when your back in your dorm."

"I will, I'm sorry again," I said as I walked out of the classroom, completely embarrassed by what happened. At least it was only freshmen, I can threaten them into never talking about what happened again.

"Sleeping beauty finally woke up from her slumber," Jen said when she saw me in the hallway. "I was about to go find a prince to kiss you and wake you up."

"Ha-ha, very funny," I said sarcastically. The two of us began walking toward the cafeteria together. "I only slept through two periods. Did you know I talked in my sleep?"

"Yeah, you do it all the time," she told me. "Why?"

"I didn't know I still did that," I said as I ran my fingers through my hair. "I never used to do it until my mom left, but I thought it had stopped."

"You stopped for like a year or two, but it started up again end of sophomore year, beginning of junior. You used to scream at first, but that stopped."

"Of course that's when it started again," I muttered to myself, knowing what caused it.

"You probably sleep talk when your stressed. The idea of the stress of junior year probably made it start up again, no big deal. It'll probably stop again soon. But, until it does, I'm going to enjoy hearing you yell at whoever in your dreams in the middle of the night."

"Joyous," I mumbled.

We walked into the cafeteria and headed toward our usual table in the back, where Mia, Tyler, and Drew were already sitting. I also noticed there was a fourth person with them.

"Why the hell are you sitting with us?" I asked Aiden as I sat down in the seat across from him, my usual seat. "You haven't sat with us in a year. It's been a glorious year."

"I figured a little change of pace would do me some good. Plus, I miss sitting with everyone, and our usual arguments," he said and smirked at me.

"This should be an interesting lunch," I heard Mia say under her breath.

"I am starving," Drew said as he began to shovel food into his mouth.

"You, hungry? No," I said in fake disbelief.

"Yeah!" he screamed, bits of chewed food landed on the table.

"That was disgusting," I said. I saw Aiden had fries in front of him that looked really good, so I stole one.

"Fat ass, go eat your own food," he told me as he moved his fries out of my reach.

"I didn't get food, smart ass."

"Then get some, dumbass."

"Listen, jackass," I began to say but was cut off.

"Assholes, shut up!" Mia said as she pushed her fries in front of me. "Take mine if you're so hungry, Ali."

"Did I ever tell you that you're my favorite friend?"

"Once or twice. It's nice to be reminded every once in a while."

"If you keep giving me food, I'll make sure you know it every day of your life," I said as I devoured the fries she gave me. Apparently sleeping through two periods gave me some appetite.

"As fantastic of an idea that sounds, I'd be broke because you can eat just as much as your brother."

"I resent that," I said with a full mouth.

"That was attractive," Aiden said in disgust. "No wonder why the boys are just lining up for you."

"Screw you," I said once I swallowed.

"Any time you want," he said and winked.

"How about not even in your dreams?"

"Really now?" he said and raised an eyebrow at me. Suddenly, I felt his hand on my upper thigh. His touch shocked me, causing me to kick him right in his manhood.

"Oof," he said as leaned over and grabbed his crotch. "What the hell?"

"Sorry, there was an annoying bug that landed on my leg and startled me," I smirked as I popped another fry in my mouth.

"You know, this could prevent me from having children."

"Then I should get an award for doing the world a favor."

"I forgot how entertaining they were together," Tyler said as he laughed at us. "Bro, you need to start sitting here again."

"Yeah," Aiden said through gritted teeth as he stared right at me. "I think I will."

"Lovely," I said as I leaned back in my chair, crossing my arms over my chest and pouting like a child who didn't get their way.

I didn't want to have to see him more than necessary, and necessary being when I was in the mood. I didn't want him to hang out with us again, he just ruins everything. He's an arrogant, self-centered bastard who doesn't see what he does wrong or even realize what he does. I end up looking like a bitch because I can't stand him, while I have a perfectly good reason for it that I just can't tell anyone.

"The Halloween dance is in two weeks. We're all going right?" Mia asked.

"Yeah," I said. "I'm so excited."

"Have we figured out what we're wearing yet?" Jen asked. "Because I want to be a pirate."

"I'm going to be a gypsy," I said.

"I'm getting the sailor costume," Mia said.

"Do I have to match you, Jen? Because I hate that shit and Tyler and I already have a top secret plan," Drew asked.

"No, please don't do that," Jen said with wide eyes. "That'll turn into a disaster."

"He'd probably dress up as a parrot," I said and started laughing as I pictured my giant brother covered in feathers.

"Hey, that's actually not such a bad idea," he began to stay until he saw the dirty look Jen was giving him. "Or it's a horrible idea and I'm going to stick with the original plan."

"Good idea," she nodded.

"So, the five of us are going together then?" I asked, ignoring Aiden as he cleared his throat.

"Six," he corrected.

"I'm sure you have some airhead to take with you, you don't need to bring her around us."

"Nope, there's no one else I'd rather go with than you. I think it's time I start hanging out with all of you again."

"There's really no need for that."

"Oh, there sure is," he said and smirked. I really just wanted to smack the smug loo off of his face.

"The gang is back together," Drew cheered and slammed his hand down on the table, causing the whole cafeteria too stop what they were doing and look to see what was going on.

"I'll see you all later," I said as I grabbed my stuff and stood up from my seat.

"Where are you going? We have the rest of the day free," Jen asked, tilting her head to one side.

"No idea, just leaving here," I said honestly. Aiden was just doing this to get on my nerves. I knew that sending that text message would be a mistake.

I ended up spending the rest of the day in the library, catching up on some homework and working on a paper that was due in a month. The library was my favorite place to be. Reading was always an escape for me when my parents used to fight. It helped me get through their divorce and other rough spots in my life. My mother leaving left me with some issues that I never worked through. Reading allowed me to believe for a few hours that I had the life of the protagonist of my favorite story, and I knew that everything would work out in the end. Not like my life, where things just keep getting progressively worse because I make poor decisions and refuse to talk to anyone about anything so I can sort through my problems and move on.

I noticed the time and figured I should get back to my dorm and catch up on some much needed sleep, thanking God that tomorrow was Saturday and I could sleep the day away.

As I was walking back to my dorm, I heard someone calling out my name. When I turned around, I saw Aiden walking up the path behind me.

"Came to annoy me some more before I went to sleep?"

"No, I actually came to see if you wanted to meet me in my room and begin our arrangement."

"Maybe. You pissed me off today. There was no reason for you to sit with us today," I said and placed my hands on my hips.

"Last time I checked, they're my friends too. You have no say who I can and can't hang out with, Ali," he said as he moved closer to me. "You do have say, however, in whether you want to sleep with me tonight or not."

"Yeah, you left to annoyed and frustrated," I said as I turned around and began to walk away from him.

"See you in ten minutes!"

As I walked into Jameson Hall, I ran into Drew and Tyler, who told me they were taking out Jen and Mia and staying in my suite tonight.

"So, if you want, you can stay in my room to avoid morning awkwardness and a lousy night sleep," Drew said and winked at me.

"That sounds peachy, give me your key," I said and stuck my hand out for him to place the key in my palm. "Have a lovely night."

"Oh we will," Tyler said.

"Ew," I told them before I walked away toward the elevator and rode it up to the fourth floor.

"There you are!" Mia said as she walked out of her room, dressed and ready for her date. "Where the hell did you go?"

"Library," was all I said as I walked into my room to get some clothes to change into tomorrow. "If anyone needs me, I'll be one floor below in the boy's suite."

"Getting it in with Aiden?" Jen asked as she waggled her eyebrows suggestively at me.

"No, avoiding hearing you two get it in all night. I'll be sleeping in Drew's room, after I change his sheets," I said as I held up the spare set of sheets in my hand.

"Sorry," the both said sheepishly. I just waved them off as I walked out of the door and took the stairs downstairs.

I let myself into the suite and walked into Drew's room so I could remake his bed with nice, clean sheets so I didn't sleep in the disgustingness that is Drew. As I finished making the bed, I decided to go into Aiden's room.

He was lying on his bed, in his boxers, and reading some book that was covered with a brown paper book cover.

"Waiting for me?" I asked, startling him. He jumped and dropped his book on the floor.

"You didn't have to break in, you could have knocked," he said as he picked up the book and placed it on his nightstand.

"I didn't, Drew gave me his key."

"You told him?"

"No, he told me to stay in his room tonight so I didn't have to listen to him and Tyler have sex with my roommates."

"So we're alone?" Aiden smirked as he stood up and walked toward me.

"That we are," I said. "What do you plan on doing about that?"

"I'm sure you have a pretty good idea," he said as he placed his hands on my hips and lowered his lips onto mine. He pushed me back onto his bed and crawled on top of me, beginning the night.

I woke up around three in the morning to an empty bed. I began to wonder if I dreamt everything that happened, but when I realized I was in his room rather than Drew's, I knew it was real. I looked around and noticed he was no where to be seen. I grabbed my pajamas off the floor and walked out of his room into the living room and saw he wasn't there either.

"Typical," I said as I walked into Drew's room and lay down on his bed.

I wiped a traitorous tear off my face, refusing to cry over that asshole ever again. It was one thing for him to leave if he was in my room, but he left me in his own bed alone. I didn't understand why this happened, but I don't understand why it still bothers me. I should have expected it. I cuddled up closer to my teddy bear as willed myself not to cry.

"I won't cry anymore over him, I can't do it," I said as I tried to fall asleep, but couldn't. Instead, I cried my eyes out until I fell asleep from exhaustion.

Leave a review, let me know what you think :)
