Hey guys! Sorry about the extremely LONG delay… school kind of took over my life (especially if you take calculus). Anyhow, winter break is here and I'll try to post as many chapters as I can. If there are any grammatical or spelling errors that I missed, please tell me so that I can change them! Thanx.

So here is yet another chapter. Enjoy!

"Some things in life are beyond people's understanding."

Leah couldn't help but agree with that phrase, for it so perfectly described the status of her social life; and by social, she meant the people with whom she associates herself.

Nathan and Aurora are constantly fighting; and when Leah inquires as to the cause, or even just offers help, Nathan refuses to comply.

Aurora won't talk to her. The reason: "It's complicated," she said, giving Leah a look that people usually give their enemies.

And mom, she thought, mom is still trying to get over Neil…and is emotionally destroyed.

It seemed to Leah that the only normal people in her life were Jordan and Sherry. Jordan was completely supportive, trying to help with Nathan and Aurora, and comforting Leah when she needed it most.

And this whole mess was certainly not helping her focus on her chemistry test, which is exactly six hours away.

Leah, whose head was flat on the desk, stared at the red numbers that were presently on her clock: 2:45 a.m.

I give up! I will not remember ANYTHING if I stay up any longer.

She stood up, unfolded the blankets on her bead, crawled in under the covers, and attempted to fall asleep…but sleep wouldn't come. And with good reason.

Somehow, during the process by which Leah was getting into her bed, she remembered Ethan.

Somehow, she forgot him these past couple of months, and now she remembered him…

And from some deep, unknown corner of her heart, sadness took over…

And somehow, hot, wet, droplets of H2O managed to travel down her cheeks as slumber finally dominated her conscious.

Walking into the testing area, Leah decided that if Nathan was going to ignore her, so was she.

Surprisingly, the test was understandable and fair; and Leah walked out of the room pretty confident she had received a minimum score of a 90.

Jordan met her outside, and they exchanged the present occurrences of the day.

"Your eyes are slightly swollen, Leah. Are you okay?" Jordan asked; concern in his eyes.

"I'm fine," Leah lied, "It's just that studying for an exam all night makes me look a bit different in the morning."

"Okay," Jordan said, placing his arm over her shoulders and kissing her on the forehead.

Leah smiled at him, but as she looked away, she saw Nathan sitting by the corner, looking at them.

"Ugh," Leah muttered.

"What's wrong?" Jordan asked.

"It's…it's just that Nathan's been pissing me off these past couple of days. He's been so moody, and when I offer to help, he just becomes this… this… complicated… person!"

"Well, I could understand why…"

"And what reason could possibly justify his behavior?"

"How about this one: Aurora broke up with him two days ago."

Okay peeps, next chapter coming up very soon!!

Review, please!

Merci beaucoup!
