HOA Gym Class 2:11 pm Monday, August 26th

Michelle and Alex were sitting on the benches waiting in line to kick the ball. Michelle was buffing her french manicure but Alex was on the edge of the bench and hopped up and cheered every time someone on their team made a good kick. "Will you puh-leeeze sit down, you're drawing attention toward yourself, and since you're by me, they'll look at me. And I don't want anybody looking at me, because my new acne medication hasn't taken affect yet, and when I'm nervous and mad, I eat, and I don't want people thinking I'm fat," Michelle sighed and leaned back on the blue bench. Alex would have reacted back, but she didn't because she had gotten used to Michelle's moody-ness in the second grade. She turned around and started cheering again. "Hey, when do you think Mrs. Norbert is gunna call us to her office, since she was talking with our parents during lunch?" Michelle said, her mood changing. Alex pointed behind Michelle, "I think right now." Mrs. Norbert's annoying kiss-butt assistant, Joanne, was walking toward the two girls. "Mrs. Norbert would like to see you in her office," She motioned for them to follow her and quickly turned around. The girls followed silently behind her. They walked to room 204, the science lab and picked up Steph. She was oddly silent. "What's wrong?" Alex whispered. Steph just shook her head and looked at Joanne's back. Then they went up a floor and picked up Hallie. Steph gave her looks all the way down to Mrs. Norbert's office, though Hallie ignored her. When The Gurlz arrived, they found Jess, Rachel, Jill, Lexi, and Zack sitting in the same seats as they had been earlier that day.

"Now, I reached an agreement with each of your parents over lunch," Mrs. Norbert began once the rest got seated. She seemed calm, unlike her usual up tight jumpy self. Steph concluded that this must mean that they were in huge trouble, or none at all. She sighed and knew she would have to wait and see.

Jess was thinking the same thing.
"Now, since there are new students in this situation, and either they haven't given the alumni students a chance, or vis versa. Now, on account that Zack was merely a wittness, and was only trying to help in this incident, he will not have to worry about a punishment." Zack looked up at the ceiling and closed is eyes, looking relieved. "Now, for the rest of you, I am sending you to a week of couseling with Mrs. Prosser, the social worker. Hopefully all of your problems will be worked out, because I don't want to punish anyone if it is a simple misunderstanding."

But everyone knew it wasn't a misunderstanding, it was full-on loathing. Though no one dare spoke a word, because they all knew that if they said anything that they would be in a whole other kind of trouble. And even though counseling was a beyond brutal punishment in Steph's opinion, but she knew that it would turn into something horrible so she didn't say a word.

"Does anyone have anything to say?" Mrs. Norbert looked very surprised that no one had tried to back talk her punishment. When no one responded, she sent them out.

Steph: Did zack say nething?
Hallie : i haven't got a chance 2 talk 2 him, srry will do tho Steph: soon pleeze Hallie : k

Hallie turned off her cell phone. If Steph had known that Zack had asked her out earlier that day in the hall, Steph would have hated her no matter what she had answered him. She was stuck.
She couldn't talk to him, because she had told him off of how rude he was, that she was trying to get him with Steph, not herself. It hadn't worked. And she would never tell Steph, so she concluded that the only thing to do was to talk to Michelle. Since everyone went to her for advice, she always went to Michelle for advice, because it had been no use to Hallie to go to herself.

"So what do you think I should do, I mean I can't talk to Steph about it, but she'll be expecting me to talk to her. And talking to Zack is totally out of the question." Hallie paused because Michelle had been quiet for a while. She had told her about everything that had happened between her, Steph, and Zack that day.

"Well, what I would do..." Michelle trailed off, obviously speaking before she though of anything. "Whatever. Gotta go, bye." Hallie closed her silver Motorola Razr V3C. She was quiet all through dinner, even though her parents and her live-in housekeeper, Gisele, asked her what was wrong, she just shrugged it off. Hallie walked into her all white and black room. She had designed it when she was ten, and loved it ever since. She went through the hanging 70s-style hanging beads and got settled on a black and white checkered body pillow. She sat there for almost an hour, and finally thought of something.

She would go to Zack's basketball practice and talk to some of the other players, that might be suitable for Steph. Then, she would talk to Zack and tell him that he should give her a chance.
Hallie knew it wasn't a very good idea, but then at least she would be able to tell Steph what he said by homeroom.

HOA Basketball Practice 7:23 am Tuesday, August 27th

Hallie walked into the big empty gym and sat on the first set of risers closest to the guy's locker room. The practice had ended and 7:15, and the bell rang at 7:30, so she had just enough time to talk to people.
She ran into Zack's friend Michael, and talked to a couple of other guys. Hallie finally spotted him eating a power bar.

"Hey, what's up?" Hallie's voice sounded odd and foreign. Zack shrugged and looked away, obviously still mad at her for yelling at him, and wondering why she would have any nerve to come talk ot him like nothing was wrong the next day. "Okay, I know I was a little harsh yesterday," Hallie took a deep breath in. "But are you sure you don't even want to give steph a chance?"

" Are you sure you don't want to giv me a chance?" Zack's eyes were serious again, and Hallie couldn't stand to look at them. "Steph is my best friend. Do you not get that?"

"Why would it matter if you go out with me, it's not like she owns you." Zack turned away again.

"Fine." Hallie muttered, realizing that she would have to try much harder. But Zack took her words to mean something else.

He looked her straight in the eye and kissed her.
