Clawdeen got up early that morning, she spent an extra 30 minutes getting ready that morning. In the back of her mind, she was really hoping to see Romulus. Once she got to school, she discreetly stood by Romulus' locker, wondering if he'd show up. She saw him come towards her locker, her heart began to thump and she bolted down the hallway in the opposite direction. As she race-walked down the hall, she ft angry with herself. Why was she doing this? She was supposed to be a lone, yet strong and independent wolf. What was happening to her? Why is this happening with Romulus, of all people? He wouldn't even be interested in her, nearly every attractive female werewolves in the school liked him.

"Come on Clawdeen, you've gotta snap out of this! Come on!" a voice inside her head scolded her.

As she went down the halls, she saw Lagoona, Frankie, Draculaura and Cleo were standing by Frankie's locker. She went over to them.

"Hey," she greeted them happily.

Her friends said hi back. "Why are you blushing?" Cleo asked her. Clawdeen proceeded to ignore her question.

Before Cleo could say anything back, Frankie interjected, "Hey ghouls, so Anna seems to be really sparking to some of us here-" she paused and looked at the scowl on Lagoona's face. She glanced at Clawdeen's, expecting to see a scowl on her face as well, but to her surprise, Clawdeen was instead sporting a dopey smile with her eyes glazed over to some distant place. The werewolf seemed to be daydreaming about something. Frankie looked at her in surprise, but then cleared her throat and continued, "Well, most of us anyway. She seems very sweet, I'm sure we'll all like her one we get to know her."

"I don't think so," Lagoona muttered to herself.

"Lagoona, what's going on with you? You're never like this!" Frankie said in frustration, this was so unlike Lagoona!

"Anyways, I think we should have a sleepover at Cleo's house this weekend, and we should invite Anna," Frankie suggested.

"If you're inviting her, then I'm not going," Lagoona said flatly. The sea creature then walked off. All of the ghouls apart from Clawdeen were shocked. Frankie ran off and caught up to her.

Lagoona heard somebody run towards her, and Frankie's voice yelling, "LAGOONA, WAIT!" Frankie caught up to her.

"What is going on with you? Why shouldn't Anna go?" Frankie asked her.

"Well I dunno mate, I'm sure she'll be a fantastic addition to the slumber party, if you wanna you know, get totally wasted?" Lagoona replied sarcastically.

Frankie shook her head. "What are you going on about?"

"Abbey and Anna got drunk out of their minds last Friday night," Lagoona explained coldly, "I have no respect for people who do that. And I can not believe Abbey did that."

"So, it's not a big deal? Haven't you seen those teen normie movies? Everyone does that in their world," Frankie pointed out.

Lagoona formed a scowl on her face. "No! Not everyone does that! She's a drunk drug-using loser who I don't think we should be hangin' out with!"

"Come on, if she brings out that stuff, we'll just say no and get her to put it away. Simple as that!"

"Ugh fine, I'll go, if it makes the rest of ya happy. I still think she's bad news," Lagoona said.

"Great!" Frankie said with a thumbs up, and Frankie ran back to the other ghouls. Lagoona stayed there, worried.

When Anna was invited, she was thrilled! She was dying to become close friends with them. She saw how they worked together and she heard about the battle they fought and won together, and she needed them to help her get to the bottom of what happened back in her home town. Her parents called her the night before telling her not to visit home again. When she asked why, she was simply told that she wasn't welcome there. She needed a whole team of investigators to help her out with this frightening mystery, and the monster high ghouls were the perfect team. Normally she would've felt guilty for only wanting to become friends with them because of this, but she cared more about solving this spooky puzzle. She had made enemies with Lagoona and Clawdeen, and she was friends with Abbey. She wanted to reel the other girls in.

Anna browsed around on on her laptop. She scrolled through youtube with her headphones in. The Monster world version of youtube was frighttube, and she noticed all of the videos were different on frighttube. She liked going on youtube, it gave her a glimpse back into the normie world. She watched some youtube viral classics, and laughed her ass off. Bloodgood and Abbey kept knocking on her door telling her to quiet down. Anna was laughing so hard she didn't hear their requests for silence. Anna then went on to and looked through all of the hilarious badfics. She wished she had some friends to read them out loud with, that was always fun.

Clawdeen was in her bedroom laying on her bed, playing on her laptop. She scrolled through Frightbook and went on to Romulus's profile. She e-stalked him for a bit, and filled with jealousy as she looked through last years prom photos and saw Romulus posing happily with his now-ex ghoul friend. Clawdeen was still trying to rationalize in her head why she was doing all of these things.

"Come on! You're in love, ain't it obvious?" she thought. She shook her head.

"Nope, I'm not in love, no no no no no..."

That thought reminded her of something. Clawdeen's deep, dark secret guilty pleasure were those Disney movies normies watched. She went on to the normie version of Frighttube, and searched the keywords, "I won't say I'm in love". She put her earbuds into her ears and played the classic Hercules song. She played it over and over again that night.
