A/N: This is the New Years chapters. (I'm running behind schedule). Anyway I hope you guys enjoy this chapter and I may make this story spread over two years just to extend it a bit since only so much can occur in a year.
Besides from that I haven't got much to say...
So till next time Dramalings,
D.L.D
Dawn's P.O.V
My eyes snapped open as I felt a pulse of negative energy. I was in my parents' back garden, meditating on my platform as I always did in the mornings, when this pulse emerged. I usually felt things during my meditation but this has never happened before. I had to contact whoever the pulse was coming from.
I got my phone and looked at all of the contacts. Where could the pulse be coming from?
I racked my brain for any possible candidates, when three popped into my mind: Mike, Amy and Katie.
I knew that Mike was fine as he and Zoey had been dealing with Mal and creating ways to keep him occupied, and Amy and Val got along, the two rarely clashing over anything. That meant it had to be coming from Katie: the newest MPD person. It must have been something to do with Sadie...
Knowing that this could be imperative to stopping the S.S.L.A's plan, I waited for Katie to answer. Hopefully everything is ok...
Sierra's P.O.V
"Thanks for helping me Izzy," I smiled, "I was thinking that the college blog was lacking something. But an anonymous gossip column! That's pure genius."
"Oh...it was nothing," Izzy shrugged blushing slightly, "But the hard bit's gonna be getting Noah and Eva to join us."
"I know...but maybe we can say that we need to gather info for the college newspaper," I say going through my notes, "I need to get that done and assign members. Not to mention that I also have to run the blog in my spare time."
"Sounds like a handful," Izzy giggled, "Good thing Izzy doesn't pack her schedule."
"But it's all worth it," I sighed as I thought about Cody, "Codykins finally forgave me and the more of this I do, the more he respects me."
"Of course he'll respect you, silly," Izzy chuckled, "You have obsolete power over everything. Gossip, events, drama. You'd be mad not to respect you."
"Oh but I don't use my reporter powers for bad," I shrug it off, "I use it to engage readers. Not to gain power."
"But you could~" Izzy began to bounce on the spot, "C'mon! Cody will love if you do that! I bet on it!"
"I doubt that Izzy," I say as I go back to finishing the final details on my blog, "He hates anything to do with ruining others."
"But it'd get more readers~" Izzy continued as she swung on her chair, "You'd be pleasing Cody and making the blog stay afloat."
"That is true," I say as I begin to type up an article, "But last year it didn't exactly pay off. In fact Cody hated me after I did that."
"But he doesn't need to know, silly," She laughed, "It'd be our secret! Plus, we've learnt from last time. Just don't get too carried away."
"I guess you're right..." I say as I stare at my laptop screen, "But what if it backfires?"
"It won't," Izzy smiled, "I promise."
She then left my room, leaving me alone with a huge decision: Should I risk losing my readers or engage them by doing a repeat of last year?
Katie's P.O.V
I sat in my room, my cheeks streaked with dried tears as I sniffled. The last words I said to Sadie rang in my head as I sat with my knees tucked to my chest: I should've known something like this would happen...
Did I subconsciously know that she'd do this? Did my mind just give me rose-tinted glasses every time I hung out with Sadie? It seemed so obvious that she'd lied about things in the past, but what she did last night was what broke me. I still couldn't believe that she'd lie about making new friends.
Am I that much of a jealous cow? Did she think I'd overreact or something? Because I know for a fact that I'd be ok with it. All she had to do was tell the truth...
My thoughts were broken by a knock on my bedroom door. I turned my attention to the door, but stayed silent, my sniffles being the only sound.
"Katie?" Kitty's voice sounded.
I didn't respond. I couldn't face Kitty, not with my face looking like the mess it was.
"Well...I just wanted to say that everyone's going to watch the fireworks tonight," She sighed, "Duncan and some of the others are gonna light some on the green. They just wanted me to tell you."
I still stayed silent, but I got a piece of paper from my notebook and wrote something on it. I then slid it under the door.
"Oh...well I'll see you there then," Her voice sounded a little cheerier, "Get well soon!"
I sighed as I heard her footsteps fade. Something was happening to me and I didn't like the feeling of it. The shoulder devil and angel appeared again, smiles on their faces.
"It's almost time Katie," The angel piped.
"Time for what?" I spoke.
"Time for the defense to come," The devil smirked, "Oh Sadie is gonna feel like shit once we're done."
"Devil stop overreacting," The angel shook her head, "You know that we're only going to keep Katie stable until she recovers."
"And deal some damage," The devil smirked.
"What do you two mean?" I asked looking at them both.
"You'll see!" They both giggled before disappearing.
I sighed as I was left alone to wallow in my self-pity. Hopefully the fireworks tonight will cheer me up.
Trent's P.O.V
"Well, I have some good new gentlemen!" Chris smiled at us all.
"What is it Chris?" Justin glared at him, "Did you get us free 'Mclean-brand' stuff?"
"What? No!" Chris rolled his eyes, "I've got even better news! I got you guys a venue to play at tonight. Sold out already too!"
"Oh really?" I raised a brow, "And where is this supposed venue?"
"Glad you asked," Chris grinned, "I'll send you the link."
We all looked at him, skepticism in our eyes, before our phones all vibrated. We all took out our phones to see that Chris had sent us a link and selected it to see that he had actually gotten us a good venue.
"Like I said, it was good news," Chris shrugged, "Anything for my money mak- I mean clients."
We all rolled our eyes at his attempt to cover up why he really got us a good venue. It was only because we made money, that he treated us better than everyone else. And to be honest it wasn't really a surprise. Chris loves money.
I sighed as I looked at the venue he'd given us, knowing that we'd probably have to perform all night, missing the fireworks display everyone at the college planned on attending to tonight. I was really looking forward to it, especially because all my friends would be there for once.
"Of course since it's New Years Eve," Chris grinned as he got our attention, "You will be allowed to see some fireworks before you play. Though they will have to be set off before midnight since you're due to play then."
I couldn't help but smile at Chris' words. This would mean that I'd still get to see the fireworks with all my friends and still play with the band.
"Well that's all," Chris shrugged, "Now out my office! I have manager things to attend to!"
We were then ushered out of his office by Chef and were all standing in the waiting area, listening to Blaineley chat away on her phone.
"You thinking what I'm thinking?" Justin looked at us all.
"Fireworks?" Cody raised a brow and we all nodded. This year was definitely going to start off with a bang.
