1 A Few Days Later

Sophie is sorting through the mail on the kitchen counter. Bill, Bill, Bill, River Medical Center, with the last one she opens the envelope. Negative, negative everything was negative. She picks up the phone but puts it back down. She'll see Peter when she goes back for group.



2 Outside

"This sucks," Leah said as she flopped down on the ground.

"Well, get used to it. You are still have 2 months," Ivy told her. "School starts Tuesday, then we'll have marching band practice after school, so it won't be that bad."

"True, but what about Ethan?" Leah asked.

"Tell you what. When I'm ungrounded, I'll sneak him up here."

"You're the best Ivy," Leah jumped on her sister. The two were rolling around the lawn.

"Working hard?" a voice, asked.

"We're done," Ivy said sitting up, brushing grass out of her hair.

"I'll just have to come up with some more things for tomorrow," Sophie said with a smile. "Finishing brushing off and then come inside, and help me with dinner."



3 Later at Group

"Everything was negative?" Peter asked questionably.

"Everything," Sophie told him in a hushed voice. The two were talking quietly in a corner before they started group.

"Leah wasn't lying. I still want to know what she was doing with ecstasy. That's not a first time kind of drug," Peter said as he looked over at the group of students.

Katie was meditating, something she always did. Daniella, Lindsey, and Owen were discussing that made them bust out laughing every few seconds. Ethan and Perry were going over homework together. Olivia was sitting alone, but unlike Katie she wasn't doing anything, she just sat.

"Okay, guys let's get stared," Peter commanded as he clapped his hands together.

"Ugh, do you have to clap?" Katie asked.

"Yeah, and we aren't all guys here," Daniella added. Her head was resting against Owen's chest.

"My apologies," Peter said as he sat on the couch. He glared at Daniella; this only made her cuddle closer, to Owen.

Sophie sat next to Peter smiling, her cliffhangers could be too much sometimes.

"I feel… Katie," Peter said.

"Peaceful, Perry," Katie said.

"Bored, Lindsey," Perry grunted.

"Super, Ethan," Lindsey said with a smile.

"Lonely, Owen," Ethan said.

"Happy, Olivia," Owen said grinning at Daniella.

"Neutral, Daniella," Olivia mumbled.

"Sexy," Daniella said with the biggest smirk on her face.

"Okay, does anyone care to say why?" Peter asked.

"Group is boring," Perry blurted out.

Peter ignored this. "Anyone?"

"I reached a new stage in meditation," Katie said proudly.

"Congratulations, Katie," Sophie said. "Anyone else want to share?"

"I would," Daniella said. "I feel sexy, because I'm a sexy bee-yach."

"Daniella…" Peter said in an irritated voice.

"What? Don't even say I swore because I said bee-yach." Daniella interrupted.

"You have a warning, I don't want to hear anymore of your mouth," Peter told her sternly. "It's almost lights out people," He emphasized the last word.

The group trickled out of the room, towards their dorms. Owen and Daniella were the last ones.

"12:30," Owen asked.

"Yup," Daniella answered, looking around before she gave him a kiss.

The lovebirds headed to the own doors to wait until 12:30.
