(Ebony's Day- Part 2)
Ebony walked into the room, her smile showing- she wanted to be noticed- obviously. Swaying with the movements that suggested she was confident and ready to rule the world. Her hair in tight braids with red tied into it flowing down her clothing. Her shirt a very tight red top and her smaller leather pants- as Siva took the ones with the slits in them.
She moved to her seat next to Amber making sure her sneer was evident towards her rival. Amber gave her a cold stare back.
Ebony made a metal look around the room. Pride and Salene were in the front.
Dee and Patch were seated in the back rows.
May was in front of Ebony- and behind- who was behind Ebony? Ebony made a note to turn around- when she did she froze- it was HIM.
"Hi- can I help you with something?" he said noticing that Ebony turned around at him and was now staring.
"I um-uh hi- I'm Ebony- I thought I would um introduce myself," she said quickly- not the way to make a positive impression- damn.
"I'm Jay- Amber's told me about you," he said.
"Oh I bet she has too," Ebony added darkly to herself.
"I'm sorry?" he said.
Ebony flashed a quick smile, "Nothing welcome to our class- if you'll excuse me," she said turning back around seeing the look Amber was giving.
Ebony growled in return and waited for the teacher to make an appearance.
Class didn't go quickly enough as far as Ebony was concerned. It was boring and dull and all she really wanted to do was flirt shamelessly Jay. There had to be a way- wait- lunch- of course but he would probably sit with Amber- eh so what? Ebony felt he was worth the pain.
Lunchtime came quickly Ebony went to get her lunch and started towards the table that she saw Jay when she heard a loud, "EBONY- THIS WAY".
Dee- no surprise.
Ebony walked over to her, "I can't today Dee- have fun with Patch- I've got something more important to do," she said with a smile walking off.
Patch looked at Dee, "What's she up to?" he whispered quietly.
"She's trying to win the new boy," she replied as Ebony disappeared into the crowd.
Ebony found her target, "Seat open?" she said.
Pride was the first to answer, "No".
Jay looked at him, "Sure, it is," he replied giving him a look.
Amber looked flabbergasted- he would really invite HER to sit with them- after all that she told him about Ebony?!
"Thanks. So Jay- tell me about yourself? Have a girlfriend?" she said sweetly trying to ignore the glares and looks she was getting from Amber, Pride, and Salene.
"I'm new to this school but lived here my entire life. I have a little brother named Ved, and I have girlfriend named Trudy," he replied.
Ebony's mouth dropped open- Trudy- Martin's dream girl Trudy? Trudy Peterson?
Ebony found her voice a second later, "Trudy Peterson? That Trudy?" she gaped.
"You know her?" he said.
"I used to have history with her- and Bray and Martin," Ebony said in low tone.
"I'm surprised you know them, I sometimes go to college during the summer- and have classes with them all," he replied.
Ebony slouched in her chair- she had no luck. Winning him would be tougher than she ever imagined but she'd do it.
"That's nice- so why aren't you in college full time?" Ebony asked changing the subject she'd deal with the rest later.
"I wanted to stay with people my age- I got tired of always be the youngest to do something. Besides, that would mean having class with my brother- and no one wants their kid brother in their graduate classes," he replied rolling his eyes.
"Hmm could see that issue," Ebony muttered- this was turning out to be a big problem- she didn't work with kid brothers- not in the slightest pinch of reality- she hated kids.
Jay smiled, "So besides being known for being manipulative- troublesome- the sister of Siva and Java- what else is there to you?" he said.
Ebony's mouth dropped open- oh no- he did not know them- this was getting worse by the second.
"How do you know them?" she demanded.
"Ram- my best mate," he answered.
Oh good lord- the guy that forever trying to win Ebony's heart- or her body as a trophy.
It officially had gotten worse. Record breaking worse.
Nothing EVER went her way and this was icing on the cake.
Maybe- if she was smart- she'd drop the chase now- but Ebony being Ebony- no way- she was going after Jay full force no matter how much she had to overcome.
"There's a lot my enemies don't know about me- and I'd love to show you my FINER qualities at some other point in time- say after school?" she said.
Jay thought for a second, "Make it tomorrow- I promised Trudy we'd go out tonight with Brady," he said evenly.
Brady- that little brat- Ebony hated that little monster. She was the daughter of Martin- and Trudy. Martin had finally gotten his dream girl- and threw her back out when he realized she was using him. Stupid fool- and then he decided he wanted her back but it was too late she moved on to- Bray- the original object of her affection.
Ebony had finally managed to break them up- but then Amber entered the picture- Ebony lost AGAIN- and Trudy- she thought would return to Martin- so much for that theory- obviously she met Jay somewhere in that time. Ebony really hated her entire existence at this point.
Ebony smiled as the bell rang- a plan was coming her way- get Trudy and Martin back together- she would get Jay- hmm she had a lot of work to do- in so little time.

(Siva's Day- Part 2)
Siva sighed and allowed herself to be pulled into class. Not thinking any of it- she took a seat next to the first open space but when she looked over at her lab partner or future one- it was TAI-SAN?!
Siva wanted to scream- of all the luck.
"Oh my god- hi Siva- how's it going?" the girl next to her asked sweetly.
Siva's eyes popped open slightly, "Oh just fine thanks," she muttered.
She wondered why she had been left for dead in the classroom until she noticed why Martin hadn't join her- Trudy- who was sitting in the back of the room.
It would figure.
Siva snorted obviously life was meant to just screw her over.
"Hey Java," another voice called from the back of the room.
Siva rolled her eyes and turned around, "Not Java," she exclaimed.
"Oh- you look just like her- are you twins?"
Siva banged her head on the desk- yep- today was going great all right.
Siva thought the day could get no worse- then the teacher arrived.
"Morning class- welcome to NU103- if you went to the wrong class please get up and leave now. Anyway, let me start with attendance----- Rafael, Siva- ah so you're Java's sister- you'll be an A student for sure," the man said.
Siva rolled her eyes- it got worse. Nothing like being compared to Miss A student- and resident psycho.
Now- nothing could get worse- right?!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(After class)
Tai-san had driven Siva the entire class talking about how they should get together maybe do some yoga together. Siva wanted to scream- but it seemed when nothing could get worse- it always did.
Tai-san continued to talk to Siva until she reached the door when she saw Lex- obviously he was waiting for Tai-san.
"Well it was nice talking to you- I should go," Siva started heading towards the opposite direction.
"No No- come here- Lex- this is one of the girls I had English with," Tai-san began dragging Siva over to meet him.
"Java right? I've seen you around campus and heard you mentioned by everyone- endlessly," he replied with a smile moving to shake her hand.
Java?! The man of her dreams had called her Java?! It was official- this was the worst day of her college career.
"Actually- that's Siva- Java's baby sister," Tai-san said correcting her boyfriend.
"Oh. Are you the one I hear from Bray is a real bitch?" he blurted out.
Siva froze, "No, that's Ebony," she exclaimed with gritted teeth.
This day kept getting better and better.
"Oh, so you're the middle one then- hmm no wonder why I hadn't heard that name before. Anyway, it was nice meeting you- Tai-san- shall we?" he exclaimed putting out his arm.
"Of course," she giggled, "Bye Siva" she replied walking off.
Siva was ready to break down into tears- was there ever going to be time when she wasn't a shadow?!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Java's day part 2)
Java followed with a whole in her heart- she kept wondering if she could get away with murder- mainly of Ebony's and somehow get Siva out of the country and away from Ram when reality sunk in.
She was sitting in class with a bunch of guys she couldn't stand.
Mega, Ved, Slade, Bray, and Ruby for that matter too.
Ruby and Java had been long time enemies because they just didn't go well together. Meanwhile, Mega and Ved were just Ram's little lackies as far Java was concerned.
Slade- had once dated Ebony- which meant- he was an enemy for sure- Java make it a propriety to hate everyone that willing hung out with her sister.
However, the worst was Bray. He was some noble moron on crusade to have the world and would have done better being a Hippie in America in the 70's then the world he was raised in. Java couldn't stand him and his holier-than-thou attitude. Oh she would kill him- if it were legal.
Him and his annoying girlfriend- she was Ebony's age and no surprise her sister hated that wench too- Java for once couldn't blame her and even agreed. The blonde with the weird rolls in her hair- was trouble.
Java couldn't understand it- her teachers thought she walked on water- but when it came to student body- over half them were enemies- how ever did she get so lucky?
"Hi Java," Ved said sneering when he saw her sit down, "Ready for another year of being in second?" he said.
Oh that got her fuming and Ram wasn't helping, "Java- do you know what classes Siva has this semester?"
Java gritted her teeth, "No Ram- I have no idea".
The entire lesson went off that way. Ram was sharing his plans to get her sisters' pants. Oh Java was annoyed. Ruby and her nearly came to blows but the topper had yet to come.
Java met Siva later that day and headed home but not before.
"Oh Siva," a voice came from the side.
"Ram!" she said sweetly.
"How are you?"
"Fine, thanks- enjoy spending the day with my sister?" she said sweetly.
"Of course- but I wish you were there too," he replied.
Siva gave him a coy smile walked over and started to rub his shoulders.
"So- how's the program coming?"
"Excellent- Ved and I are working on it later- you should swing by and check it out," he said.
"I would but-"Siva started.
Java was crossing her arms- how dare Siva move in- she was chasing that annoying security guard wasn't she?!
Java then noticed the guard himself walking hand in hand with the girl called Tai-san, Java then saw Siva's apologetic smile turn one into opportunity- oh no she wouldn't-
"Sure Ram-I'd love to come," she said with a twinkle in her eye making sure she looked extra close to Ram in front of Lex.
Before Java could scream her head off Tai-san came up to the group with her boy toy.
"Oh hey Java! Nice seeing you again," she said with a hint of false sweetness.
"Hi," Java said semi darkly.
"Oh Siva- you didn't tell you had a boyfriend," she said turning.
"Yea- this is my boyfriend- Ram," she said quickly.
Java looked murderous- Siva would be getting an earful in the car.
Ram looked beyond happy though.
Java looked at her, "Sis- we really should go- I have a paper to do," she said warningly.
Siva smiled, "See you later, Ram. Bye," Siva said sweetly jumping into the car.
Java turned to her, "You are so dead".
Siva gulped.

(The three at home)
Ebony was walking around singing and dancing to the song 'School's out' when Java and Siva came walking in.
"RAM'S MINE- CALL HIM UP AND SAY YOU CAN'T GO"
"NO- IT'S A FREE WORLD- AND I HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO DO ANYWAY," Siva shouted back.
Ebony rolled her eyes, "So what happened this time?"
Java snapped, "None of your business princess go back to your pitiful song".
"What are you so happy about anyway?" Siva said turning to her.
"I'm going to get me a boyfriend," Ebony said with a twinkle in her eyes.
Java rolled her eyes, "Whose the victim this time?"
"Jay McKnight"
Both girls mouth dropped open- Java's blazing- part of her had always wanted Jay for herself.
"No way! He won't fall for your games," Java replied.
"You have Ram back off bitch," Ebony snapped back.
"I thought he had a girlfriend..." Siva chimed in.
Ebony rolled her eyes, "Not for long".
"You never change," Siva said shaking her head.
"Either do the two of you," Ebony said turning around and walking off.
"This is so unfair MY LIFE SUCKS-"Java snapped running up the stairs.
"Yea- so does mine," Siva called running off.

'Why, why oh why do I always come second to the brat and the dumb one? Why am I surrounded by such pricks? Why do those pains take everyone I want for myself and claim them for themselves? I wish I was an only child,' Java thought darkly as she ran to her room slamming it shut.
'Why can't I just be- when will ever escape Java's life- when will I get my own? And when will Ebony stop having all the luck? I never get the guy and she gets every guy at least once?!' Siva thought sadly as she ran to her room slamming it shut.
'I'm going to win this time. No Amber, Java, or Siva will stand in my way this time. For once- I'm going to be the star- the one everyone remembers,' Ebony thought happily as she ran to her slamming it shut.
However, what any of them didn't know was how soon everything was going to change.
