Carolyn's Comments:
Mood: Bored
Rant: No rant for you today. I'm tired.

A week later...
Carolyn and everyone burst into the cafeteria. Everyone was in high spirits. The first episode of 'Behind the Terror' had just been broadcast. It had been an instant success, and the footage of Carolyn chasing Cronos with a pitchfork had pushed the viewers just enough to make it the most popular show in the history of television.
"DRINKS ALL AROUND!" Cronos cheered.
"We can't." Carolyn responded, "All your army buddies polished it off, we'll have to drink soda until we get a new shipment. I'm sick of all that damn booze anyway."
"Whatever! Let's just drink something!"
So everyone sat down at the 'Main Character Table'. The 'Main Character Table' was a long wooden table with the head of the table against the stone wall. Everyone was laughing and drinking. Cronos shook his can of Coke and sprayed Carolyn in the face like it was Champagne. Her laughter told him she forgave him for threatening Darren last week. Cronos had managed to grab the seat next to Carolyn before Darren could. Darren was sitting across from them. He was staring death at Cronos.
Evra laughed and put his arm around Katie. "You know, nothing could ruin my mood today, absolutely nothing!"
Real Carolyn: (who happens to be the author) Whoops! He spoke way too soon!
At that moment, the wall at the head of the table exploded into rubble. When the dust cleared, there was a large hole in the wall. A 15-year-old girl was standing there in a kicking stance. It was obvious she was responsible for the shattered rock. She was extremely pretty. She had long blond hair and piercing gray eyes. She was wearing a white sleeveless top, baggy black jeans, white sneakers, and black fingerless gloves that went up to her elbows. At the sight of her, Evra's face paled a few shades and he ducked under the table.
"Sorry to disturb you." The girl said politely. She had a faint English accent. "But I'm looking for-" She spotted Darren and Mr. Crepsley, and her face brightened. "SHAN-CHAN! CREPSLEY! How ya doin'?"
"Fine Samantha, just fine." Mr. Crepsley said nodding.
"I've asked you a million times Sam," Darren grumbled, "Don't call me Shan-Chan."
"Anyway, if you guys are here, then where's Evra?" She asked. Both Darren and Mr. Crepsley reached under the table and pulled Evra out. Evra looked really pitiful. He smiled weakly at the girl.
"Oh, h-hey Samantha... I see you managed to track me down... How ya been?"
Samantha's eye narrowed at the sight of him. She jumped off the table and looked him in the eye. "First things first..." She snarled. She swung her right hand and struck him across the face. Evra staggered back in pain. "YOU ASSHOLE!" Samantha screamed, "HOW DARE YOU RUN OFF LIKE THAT! HOW DARE YOU CALL ME A PSYCHO-BITCH! HOW DARE NOT EVEN HAVE THE COMMON COURTESY TO CALL ME!"
"Sammie..." Evra said softly, "Come on..."
"You run off without any warning, and then you insult me!" Samantha continued. "What the hell's the matter with you?! I should-"
Mr. Crepsley raised his hand. "Actually, I called you psycho-bitch. Not Evra. And it was my idea to leave, not his."
Samantha's look of rage faded. "Oh." She nodded towards Mr. Crepsley. "Well thank you for telling me the truth."
"THAT'S IT?!" Evra screamed, "YOU BELIEVE HIM OVER ME?!"
"Oh I know he dislikes me." Samantha said shrugging, "I don't care. I'm used to it. But it really hurt when I thought YOU said it, sweetie." She said smiling at Evra. Katie frowned. Had that girl just called Evra 'sweetie'? "And to think, I was planning to shoot you. I guess I can forgive you now." Samantha added, still smiling. With that, she grabbed Evra by the face and kissed him passionately on the lips.
"E-EVRA?!" Katie shrieked in horror. For a moment, time seemed to stop. Everyone could only stare at Evra and the new girl in shock. Katie looked like someone had just swung a heavy bag of bricks into her face. Finally the girl pulled away from Evra, smiling mysteriously.
"Uh..." Evra gulped.
"DAAAAAAAAAMN!" Everyone said at once. Katie stormed up to the new girl and glared at her.
"JUST WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, THAT YOU CAN COME IN HERE AND START KISSING EVRA?!" Katie screamed in her face.
Samantha looked stunned. "I'm Samantha Von Cray, and I'm Evra's girlfriend!"
"G-G-GIRLFRIEND?!" Katie shrieked. Evra looked extremely guilty and was now staring at the floor.
"That's right," Samantha said trying to sound polite, despite the fact she was being screamed at. "And who might you be?"
Katie pointed at herself. "I'M HIS GIRLFRIEND!"
And that's when the first few pieces of you-know-what, hit the fan.
