BeBe: Sorry if I spelt some names wrong, my friend's handwriting sucks.
Music on, world off. It's the only way they could be together.
The Highway Man blasted through Aryssa's ears. Her blue eyes struggled to open, as her hand reached up to pull the plugs out of her ears. It was two in the morning on Saturday-most sane kids wouldn't be up so early. She through her legs over the edge of her bed, still fully dressed from the day before.
Across the room, her room mate, Arianna had fallen asleep halfway off the bed. Obviously, she stood up late, working on who knows what.
Aryssa smiled softly before pulling the blankets up to the brunette's chin, then softly walking out of the room. She tiptoed past Meggie's room and out the door. She did this every Saturday morning, so she was basically a pro at sneaking out.
Slowly, she made her way across the school yard to the old gym, where Rob Loe was waiting. Beethoven's 5th Symphony was playing softly in the corner. Aryssa didn't care much for classical music, but Rob loved it.
Rob had dark brown hair and brown eyes, he stood about a foot taller than her-her blonde head hardly reached his shoulders. Oh, did she forget to mention that he was her Language Arts teacher? He was 21, seven years older than her, but age shouldn't matter, right?
"I was worried that you weren't gonna come." Rob murmured, as she placed her hand in his out stretched one.
Aryssa smiled charmingly up at him, letting him take the lead of the dance. "You know I wouldn't miss this for the world."
"Well, yes, but I thought that maybe Arianna was still up, and holding you back."
"Well, even though that would be a likely probability, no, it didn't happen." Aryssa mused, as the song switched to Lady Gaga's Poker Face. Good, a song that she actually liked.
Rob and her had felt a connection ever since his first day three months ago, when he'd walked into the classroom and stumbled through Anne Frank's Diary. A week later she'd stayed after class to help clean, and they'd broken down. These late night rendezvous had been happening ever since.
"Speaking of which," she smirked giving him the slightly evil eye. "How 'bout we skip that test on Friday-you could just give me an A?" she knew he wasn't going to give in-and she really didn't want him to-but a girl can dream, right? "I mean, I am the best student in class, so we already know that that's what it's going to be. So, why should I have to go through all that trouble?"
Rob raised an eyebrow down at her, before shaking his head. "No, it wouldn't be fair to the others."
Aryssa sighed, "What is it with new teachers? They never let us slack off."
"Because we're worried we'll get fired if we don't. You know what they say-last hired, first fired."
Laughing, Aryssa slipped out of his arms to go change the song. Poker Face was great, but not one you could romantically dance to. She settled for You'll Be In My Heart.
Rob practically yanked her back into his arms as she returned. "Yeah…" she smiled, "But you guys act like if you even let us chew gum, you'll be fired."
"Touche." He smirked, before they lapsed into a comfortable silence. Only to be broken when the sun started to rise. "I guess it's time for you to go back to your dorm, now."
Aryssa sighed, and glanced towards the window where light was beginning to seep in. "Yeah…. Arianna's gonna be up soon." She let go, and took a few steps away. "I feel so guilty, not being able to tell her about… ya' know… us."
"And you don't feel guilty about not being able to tell Lori?" Rob came up behind her, gently ushering her towards the door.
"Of course! Lori is my best friend!" Aryssa cried, as they slipped out into the warm air. "It's just-I don't know. Being room mates with her kind of makes it seem worse."
"I know how you feel." His tone made it sound like a good bye-which it kind of was. For when she turned around to face him, he was gone.

Arianna was already out of bed when Aryssa walked into their room. She was pulling on her black ballet slippers.
"You're up early." The brunette noted, pushing her glasses up her nose, and throwing her white headband on.
Aryssa shrugged, and made her way over to the vanity mirror to put the front right quarter of her hair up into the tiny bun it was always in. "Couldn't sleep with you snoring like… like… well, whatever is loud."
Arianna laughed and grabbed Aryssa's hair brush from her hand. Arianna Nettle had light brown hair with blue eyes that were framed by big black glasses. She also had light freckles scattered across the bridge of her nose. Her and Aryssa had been room mates for years, now seeing as they were the only one's who could stand living with each other.
"Meggie or V up yet?" Aryssa mused softly, opening her eyes up wide as she gazed at herself in the mirror for no particular reason.
"Hm-Oh, yeah. Meggie is. She came by earlier looking for you." Aryssa was actually pretty surprised, Meggie was usually up after noon.
"What'd she want?"
"Oh I don't know. She said she had something important to tell us, but she ran off before I could ask what it was. She said to call Lori, and to get Bradley over here ASAP."
Aryssa turned to face her room mate, eyes wide. Lori lived off campus, so if Meggie needed her, it was probably pretty urgent.
"And you didn't think to mention this to me-hm, oh I don't know-right when I got in the room?" she asked, before dragging Arianna out of said room.
"Didn't cross my mind until you asked." Arianna locked the door behind them, seeing as Aryssa had lost her key-again. "Besides, you know how Meggie can get. It probably isn't really that urgent."
"Don't underestimate that black haired chick." Aryssa giggled as they made their way down the hall. Then she sighed. "Okay, so maybe I am over reacting, I just-I have a feeling that something's gonna happen soon-something big."
Arianna looked over at her, eyes wide. "Like what?"
"To tell the truth… I really don't know."
