A/N: So this Chapter's gonna be a little filler. it's basically New Years Eve and I'm gonna describe how each group of friends celebrate it. Sorry if I seem snappy today,I've got a really bad cold. Anyway,on with the story and I guess sorry it's been a few days since I last updated. I've been busy and really sick.

Courtney's P.O.V

New Years Eve. The one day of the year that almost everyone,no matter their race,beliefs or tradition celebrates. Well almost everyone. I sigh as I stare out of my bedroom window. I should be out there going to Heather's New Years Eve party,except there's no party and all the other cheerleaders have ditched me. I grab my notepad and start to make a list of all the things I like about New Years.

Fireworks.

Food.

The Countdown.

Family time.

Friends.

I stare at the final item on my list: Friends. I'm not even sure if I have any real ones besides Gwen. Now that I think about it,does Heather even have any friends? She probably doesn't since everyone fears her,except me,Gwen,Leshawna,Jo,Amy,Dakota and Anne-Maria of course. Everyone else bows at her feet and feels like they need to stay on her good side or she'll have them for breakfast.

An idea stealthily snaked its way into my head: I should still go through with my original plan,but also knock Heather down along the way,leaving her in a feeble state when Prom arrives. Making my original plan the final swift blow. I smirk as I grab my PDA,yes I know it's old but I modify it here and there,and dial Gwen's number. I anxiously wait for her to answer and when she does I explain my plan.

"Hi Court Happy New Year!"She greeted,"So why'd you call?"

"Well I've got a plan that'll knock Heather down once and for all that I think you and Leshawna will enjoy,"I tell her.

"Sure let me just text her,"Gwen replies,"Yeah I'm listening."

"Well recently I've been planning to knock Heather off her throne at Prom,but as I thought over it,I don't think it'll work,"I begin.

"So?"Gwen trailed off.

"So I need you guys' help,"I continue,"If we give her little blows now and convince everyone about strength in numbers she'll be weak at Prom."

"Smart,"Gwen remarked,"So what's the first phase?"

"I'm not sure,"I admit,"But we can discuss it tomorrow."

"Sure,"I could see her smiling,"Oh almost forgot. Do you want to celebrate new years with us?"

"Yeah,"I reply smiling,"I don't have anything better to do anyway."

"Cool. Meet us at the Park at around 11,"Gwen confirmed,"Bye."

"See ya,"I smile as I hung up. Maybe New Years won't be too bad this year. At least I have real friends now,at least until they learn my real plan.

Heather's P.O.V

Ugh. Worst New Years ever! All because of the little party I threw,my parents told me that this year I can't throw a New Years party. And instead I'm going to spend it with them,Damion and Marietta. Talk about embarrassing. Marietta's not too bad but Damion,the little shit,will do anything in his power to annoy me. And as if to top off the already shitty cake,they cut off my credit card until I earn it back by doing chores. Sighing,I grab my cell and text Lindsey,my most reliable person right now.

Heather- Hi Linds! Just wanted to know how your New Years is going.

Lindsey- It's going great,apart from the fact that Tyler doesn't trust me anymore. Thanks Heather.

Heather- Are you being sarcastic?

Lindsey- Of course I am! Thanks to you the guy of my dreams is gone.

Heather- He wasn't good enough for you anyway. I was just doing you a favour.

Lindsey- You know what. I don't wanna have an argument with you right now. So I think it's best if you don't call or text me again.

Heather- You're making a huge mistake. I'll kick you off the cheer squad and the Squad.

Lindsey- No! I'm sorry Heather it won't happen again! I really do need the squad! I don't have any other friends except you.

Heather- Great. Well talk later.

Lindsey- Sure. Bye Heather.

I knit my brows as I think about how close I was to losing my most reliable pawn. If anyone found out about this,I'd be screwed. Especially if Court found out. I know she's trying to knock me off my throne and I can't let her succeed.

"Heather-Feather come down here now!"My mother called sweetly,"Marietta and I want to include you in our annual New Years tradition. We're going to have a make-over!"

"Coming Mother!"I call back. I groan as I walk down the grand staircase,she's only doing this because I usually hate doing this sort of stuff with Marietta and her.

"Good luck Heather-Shmeather,"Damion teased,"I'm gonna record you screwing up and post it on Snap and Insta."

"Yeah,"I reply sweetly,"Just like how I'll post that embarrassing picture of you in 1st grade."

"You wouldn't,"He warned.

"I would,"I smiled and went to the living room. Marietta looked as if she was bursting with excitement.

"Heather!"She squealed,"Are you ready to have some fun?!" I nodded and spent the next few hours having manicures,pedicures and every spa and beauty treatment possible. And I actually had a good time.

"We've got to do this more often,"Marietta smiled at me.

"Sure,"I reply,"I actually wasn't surrounded by idiots today."

"Well girls,"My mother got out her planner,"How about we do this once a month?"

"Perfect,"Marietta and I said in unison. We all then spent the rest of the day laughing and joking,enjoying the time we rarely get to spend together. To be honest most of the Populars are imbeciles anyway and for once I was actually glad I didn't throw a huge party just to gain their trust and undying loyalty.

Amy's P.O.V

Apparently I was meant to meet all of my friends at the park at eleven so we could all watch the countdown and fireworks,however I have a weird feeling in my mind. I feel like Valery,the old Amy,is trying to take over. I shiver as I remember how she hurt Samey. No I can't let her. Then I black out.

What am I doing here? Oh yes! I almost forgot. New Year,new you. Or should I say old you. I wonder if Mike goes through the same thing. Whatever time to cause some trouble tonight.

Mike's P.O.V

Great. Mal's trying to take over again. This happens every New Years and ends at around February. Then it dawns on me- Amy. She doesn't know about the season when your alter ego tries to take over.

When I was first diagnosed with Multiple Personality Disorder,I ended up in Juvie for a while and demanded to be called Mal. I was known as the toughest guy around and refused to be treated like scum.

Luckily I found a way to stop him and go back to being plain old Mike,but Amy finds it hard enough to control her other personality already,so I'm guessing she's already taken over. Guess I'll just have to keep a closer eye on her than usual and so will Dawn,Izzy and Cameron. If Heather finds out about Amy's two personalities she could use it to her advantage and then we'll all be in trouble.

Leshawna's P.O.V

The night was going pretty well,even with Miss bitchy C.I.T here. At eleven we were all at the park,well all of us except Dawn and Amy- not that I was expecting her to come. She usually watched the fireworks with her sister. Even though she abused her,she still had her nicer side. Maybe something was wrong though...

I just brushed off the weird feeling and ate another one of DJ's brownies. They tasted like pure heaven.

"How are these so gooooood!"I mumble my mouth stuffed.

"Well I always add a bit of..."DJ trailed off.

"What?!"I needed to know what that secrete ingredient was.

"It's a family secrete,"DJ tried to shut me up.

"I'm family,"I reply,"Come on Deej it's not like I'd tell the whole world."

"Sure,"He rolled his eyes,"Like the time you wouldn't tell anyone that I was terrified of Horror movies."

"Ok but that was an honest slip of the tongue,"I reply truthfully enough.

"Well I'm not saying,"He stared up at the sky,"Anyway what time is it?"

"About 11:55 why?"Courtney answered.

"Cause Dawn and Amy said they'd be here by now and the countdown's gonna be real soon,"DJ replied.

"Yeah you're right,"Zoey began to panic,"I'd get it if Amy wasn't here but Dawn...That's just not like her."

"They're fine trust me,"Mike told us,"Dawn texted me and told me to say Amy's not feeling too well."

"Oh I guess that's fine then,"We all agreed. Why were we all worrying about this anyway,if something really bad had happened I'm pretty sure her mama would've called us straight away. To get my mind off of things I decided to ask Court what she wanted us to do for the first phase of her plan,even though I don't completely trust the bitch I just love hearing her scheme.

"So Court,"I begin,"What's the first phase?"

"I don't know yet,"She replied casually. Ok this definitely ain't the usual ol' Court. The old C.I.T bitch would've had her whole scheme thought out and would be three steps ahead of that. Something was up and it wasn't good,so I decided to play along.

"Well I was thinking that at some point in the year we could get Heather shaved bald,"I say.

"That's good,"Courtney answered,"But is it good enough?"

"Yeah you're right,"I say,"Way too soft." I thought for a bit longer.

"Oh I know,"It finally came to me,"Gwen has Damion's number. She can get that photo of Heather back in middle school and anonymously post it on the school group chat."

"That's perfect,"Courtney smiled,"It's about time she knew how it feels to be humiliated for life." I nod in agreement and then Jasmine told us the countdown was starting.

"10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1...0! Happy New Years!" We all yelled. Only a few more months of school left and then we'll be off to college! I then blocked off my mind and decided to enjoy the holiday with my friends because this might be the last New Years we'd get to spend together.

Dawn's P.O.V

New Years. One of my favourite holidays. I smile as I think about how much fun all of us will have watching the fireworks and joining in with the countdown. But my most favourite part is the resolutions because it inspires others to be a better person and do the best they can. This year my resolution is to get others more involved with my beach clean ups,wildlife watches and other conversational activities or sooner rather than later the Earth as we know it will change.

Seeing the time,I grab my satchel,tell my parents where I'm going and leave. I'm meant to be meeting Zoey,my other friends and The Gang at the park but I'm gonna go somewhere more private before I surround myself with their crazy antics.

Just as I began to walk down the old cobbled path that led to the woods,I spotted Amy dashing into the emerald green depths of the trees. Something was up. Her aura seemed slightly different and she would usually greet me or acknowledge my presence. Then I remembered something I'd read in one of my books. According to a book on things that happen at different seasons of the years,apparently the alter ego of a person who has multiple personality tries to take over at around this time until February. Why didn't I remember this earlier?!

Panicking I rush into the woods. Maybe my skills and animal buddies can help me.

A/N: So yeah here's the New Years Chapter I guess. Sorry if it's short or anything. So I've got a few more plots on the way and if you want you can guess the next one! *Hint* It's got something to do with Amy's violent side and Mal! So hope you enjoyed this chapter. Oh and can you guess Court's real plan?! If not say in reviews anyway! I just love hearing you guys' ideas.

Until next time,

D.L.D
