Right, let's keep going! Thanks for reviewing, berkbar740, Sideshow Cellophane 26 and Ali6132 (Sammy is basically Amy's scapegoat for everything, which sucks, so that's pretty much the reason she acts that way).

By the way, I forgot to mention. There was a Taylor Swift reference in the last chapter. Take a look back and see if you can spot the references to the first verse of "Stay Stay Stay".

I should have mentioned that there was an exchange programme going on at our school and another all-girls one across the state. Five students were coming over to stay here for three weeks, then five from our school would go to theirs. It was only for the seniors, though, so I didn't think much of it until the assembly when the five students were introduced, and one of the girls caught my eye.

The girl was petite, with long pale blonde hair and a porcelain white complexion. Her face wasn't exactly expressionless, but she radiated calmness. I knew she looked vaguely familiar, but I couldn't remember where I'd seen her before.

It was only when her name was mentioned – Dawn Luna.

"Dawn!" I gasped in a whisper. Now I remembered. I'd seen one of those wooden carvings in Scott's bedroom. True, the carving didn't look exactly like her, but she was older, after all. She still had the same expression, the same hair, but she was clearly taller and slimmer (how is that even possible?) and it was just enough so that I didn't make the connection.

Oh yeah...now that I remembered, Scott had mentioned that Dawn was two years younger than him, and therefore, a year older than me. I hadn't breathed a word to anyone about Dawn, but should I, now, I wondered. I wanted to tell Sammy and Jasmine that I knew one of those girls, but on the other hand, I didn't know her personally. And with the amount of times Scott would pick me up after school, chances are he'd see her. And what would happen then?

I debated, and then swore my friends to secrecy before I told them.

Sammy listened in silence, and then said "Wow. She sounds interesting. And nice."

Jasmine was even more surprised. "Scott had a thing for a girl who was selfless? That seems so...out-of character for him. But it is sweet." she said. "Are you going to talk to her?"

I sighed. "I want to." I admitted. "But I don't know if I should...or even if I could."

"I definitely think you should." Jasmine said. "It would probably be best to let her know what's been going on. How are you going to feel if Scott gets hooked on her again? Besides that, it'll end up breaking at least one person's heart – either his or yours. If she didn't like him the first time, it's a chance to let her know she can steer clear of him. And she's right over there." She pointed across the courtyard to the girl. She wasn't with the other seniors, but simply sitting on a grassy patch, in what even I knew was the lotus position, eyes closed.

"Go on!" Jasmine encouraged. "I really think you should talk to her."

"We'll come for moral support." Sammy offered.

I shyly approached Dawn, not sure how to confront her. Luckily, she opened her eyes just as we reached her, and smiled. "Hello." she said in a very high-pitched voice, but it wasn't annoying or screechy, just gentle and almost...almost not of this world.

"Hi." I said shyly. "You're Dawn, right? My name's Brooklyn. There was something I wanted to talk to you about."

Dawn studied me for a moment, her pale blue eyes scanning me. Finally, she made eye contact with me again. "Your aura shows both confusion and love, and I can see that you're nervous about whatever you want to say to me. May I ask why?"

I couldn't believe what she'd just said. My aura? Wasn't that just some kind of New Age thing? But I went along with it, since she was right. "It's just...I think I may know someone that used to know you, a few years back, two years older. And he mentioned you to me, because he used to love you, but he knew his actions earlier on made you despise him."

Dawn studied me again. She nodded. "I know who you're talking about. I remember. I can sense both positive and negative energy coming from your feelings towards him." She gave a sigh. "I did know he felt something for me, but I couldn't love someone with so much negative energy at that time. Besides, he'd never tried to do a thing to show that he wasn't all bad. Despise is a strong word for what I felt, but I disliked him." she said serenely.

At that moment, I glanced up, realizing my friends were further away. Sammy caught my eye and mouthed You should talk to her on your own – it's between you guys. You've begun – don't worry, Jazz and I won't interrogate you about it afterwards.

I turned back to Dawn. "Let me get this straight. You knew Scott liked you, but didn't give him a chance? When he told me, it was obvious how much that hurt for him."

Dawn sighed. "I know, Brooklyn, but I couldn't give him false hope. I just couldn't see any way of that working out." She smiled. "But I can see that he makes you happy." She paused. "Would you like me to speak to him again? Because he's changed? Maybe for closure?"

"Um, well..." I stammered, "I was actually hoping for the opposite, because..."

"You're worried that my presence will make him forget about you." Dawn finished. "If he cares about you in the way that you think, I know he won't."

"And if he doesn't, I probably shouldn't be dating him, right?" I guessed.

"Well, it's not up to me." Dawn said. "It's up to you."

I shrugged, trying not to be bothered by that. "Well, I think you should talk to him, probably, more for his sake than anything. One of the reasons we became a couple was because he tried to be a good guy for my sake, and that was because he remembered you."

It was pretty surreal, talking to this girl I'd heard about, but hadn't met until that moment. I understood what Scott had meant when he said that Dawn weirded people out. She was strange and seemed to know a little bit too much. But she was also gentle and kind.

Wouldn't you know it, Scott arrived to pick me up after school that day. Since Dawn was in the same classes as the other seniors, I hadn't seen her since the break, but she appeared next to me almost instantly after I caught sight of him. She literally just appeared out of nowhere.

I jumped. "What the – how did you do that? I know you weren't anywhere near me ten seconds ago."

"Oh...it's not really something I can explain." Dawn said serenely. "I expect it would just raise more questions if I tried."

Scott caught sight of me then, and began to smile – but his expression froze, and I knew he'd recognized her. I began to feel guilty, wondering if I should never have talked to Dawn. Maybe it wasn't the right thing to do.

Do you think it was the right thing? What do you think about bringing Dawn into this? She's one of my favourite characters – my top three already played a role in this, and she's fourth (followed by Bridgette). Review and tell me!
