Little notice here: the Atlanta I'm using here is related to Artemis, ok?

The Wake-Up Call

"Alright, finally, LEVEL NINE!" Odie screamed out the last two words. It was enough for Theresa, Jay, Neil, Atlanta, Archie and Herry to wake up screaming too, think Odie was being attacked, try to get up and end up tripping over their blankets and falling.

"What, what is it?" Jay asked, panicking.

Odie turned to Jay with a stupid grinning face. "I finally reached level nine!" He screamed again.

Theresa and Atlanta exchanged glances. "Odie," They began. "Please do not tell me that you played that stupid game...FOR THE WHOLE NIGHT!"

Odie's smile slipped off. "Um, actually, yeah," He admitted.

Everybody groaned. Odie was now obsessed with his flying game so much, he'd even bring it with him into the showers!

"Well, now that I'm awake," Here, Theresa shot Odie a glare but he didn't seem to notice as he continued fiddling with his game. "I think I'm going to take a bath."

Atlanta mumbled something about getting some coffee. Archie jumped up and accompanied her (Jay, Neil and Herry were snickering about this). Neil tucked back into his bed, saying he needed his beauty sleep. Jay went to the bathroom, realizing that he had a full bladder and Herry decided to snack on some food from the kitchen.

"I got to level nine, I got to level nine!" Odie sang out loud as the others left.

In the shower, Theresa heard the words "I got to level nine", groaned and stuffed her fingers in her ears.

At Olympia High School, there was an assembly. Hera (the principal) walked onstage and announced. "Good morning students. I have an announcement to make."

Everybody immediately hushed up.

"Today is January 20th, as you all know, and on February 14th and 15th, there will be a special Valentine Dance from 6-10pm." Hera continued.

Atlanta groaned. She hated dances, they were so stupid! Besides, there wasn't anybody she liked. Not even a tiny bit!

Archie, on the other hand, sort of glanced over at Atlanta. Should I ask her to it? He wondered. Nah, she'll probably bite me or something! Maybe later…

Jay thought that the dance might not be too bad. He could ask Theresa if she wanted to dance with him but of course, that would only happen if he had the courage to go ask her. Why was it so easy to face dangers but so hard to ask if someone wanted to go to a dance?

Herry, like Atlanta, wasn't much of a partier. The only good part about the dance was the refreshments…

Neil ran his hand through his hair. Dance, huh? He smiled inwardly and looked at Theresa. There was only one girl he liked a lot…

Theresa, also like Atlanta, didn't want to go to a dance. What for? She asked herself. There was nobody she particularly liked.

And Odie just sat there, playing away with his game.

"Unlike other dances, however, this one is unique," Hera added. "You MUST attend and MUST have a date."

This made Atlanta, Theresa and Herry groan like nuts.

Who am I going to pick? Atlanta looked around at the boys. None looked very attractive. She slumped against her chair, hoping the assembly would be over soon so she could throw a tantrum.

Theresa panicked at Hera's last statement. You must have a date? Well hello, Hera! I absolutely do not have a Romeo in mind.

Herry sighed deeply. But I don't have a date, he cried in his head. The only girl he thought looked a bit pretty was Theresa. A bit wasn't enough, though.

"The good thing is that you have a little over 2 weeks to find yourself a date. Everybody dismissed." Hera walked off the stage and the students filed all filed out.

"So, who do you think you're going to choose for the Valentine Dance?" Archie asked Atlanta.

"I don't even want to go," She said shortly. Archie looked at her blankly.

"Why?" He asked.

"It's so stupid. Besides, I don't like anybody."

This got Archie's heart sagging. "But you have to go," He blurted.

"I don't care, I'm not going."

"Hera's going to be marking down everybody coming. They'll find out you're not there." Archie pointed out.

Atlanta looked at him queerly. Archie thought she was going to yell at him but instead, she croaked "Excuse me."

Archie watched Atlanta run into the bathroom just as the rest caught up with him.

"What's wrong with Atlanta?" Odie asked, concerned. He FINALLY stopped playing the flying game.

Archie shrugged. "I-I think she's going to be ok-"

At that precise moment, there was a scream coming from the girl's bathroom. It sounded like someone was having a tantrum.

OoooOoooOoooOoooOoooOoooO

Oooh! Theresa does seem popular among the boys, don't you think? Personally, I don't think NeilxTheresa is going to work and certainly not HerryxTheresa but of course, who knows?
