Dylan Marvil is a trickster.

"How do you do this... uh..." A sigh. "Great... no, no! Is this thing frozen now! Oh... what to do? Work, work, work!"

I turned to look at the blonde next to me, who looked worried as she whisper-rambled at the computer in front of her. I saw her in class earlier. She was the new girl... Krystal? Something of that sort.

She grimaced. "No, please don't tell me I lost everything."

I tried to look at what she was doing. She was typing her personal information into the computer, so she could gain access to the library. I flinched. I had to do that when I was a freshman too, and if I remember correctly, it was hard. Luckily, I had Chris Plovert to help me out. Maybe I could still remember how he did it?

"Uh... hi. Can I help you?" I whisper-asked.

She turned to look at me, and I smiled at her.

"That would be really amazing," she replied.

I stood up and walked toward her.

"It's frozen," she told me, grimacing. "I think I did something wrong..."

"I get you," I told her, pressing down random computer keys to see if the computer answered. "When I first did this, it shut off and it wouldn't come on again."

Krystal sighed. "The worst part is, this happens with every electronic device I come in contact with."

I smiled, nodding in amusement. "Same!"

She grinned. "I'm Kristen, by the way."

Kristen. Not Krystal. Oh...

I smiled. "Dylan. Dylan Marvil."

"Marvil as in Principal Marvil's-"

"Daughter?" I finished for her. "Yes... most people wouldn't be so thrilled, but I'm happy. Unlike most, I do get to see my mom in daily basis. I would die if she weren't around."

Kristen nodded. "Yeah, I've only been here one day and I already miss her."

I chuckled. "She can come and visit in the weekends. It's a new rule my mother made. She lives in Philadelphia, if I remember correctly? I think she could come here once a month."

"Yeah... she isn't really happy with me being a ballerina," she replied.

I began to click the mouse, but the computer was still frozen.

"Oh, that must be tough..." I replied.

She shook her head. "Well, at least she never tried to pull me out. She just didn't like watching me dance or hearing me talk about it."

I slightly hit the computer's side, and it unfroze.

"Gosh, you're a genius!" She exclaimed, grinning.

But the information that came up was not hers. It wasn't even the library's app. It was a Facebook page.

Josh Hotz's.

And it was logged into his account.

Kristen frowned. "Hey... I've seen that boy around."

"Josh Hotz, jazz dancer and certified bully," I said. I began to read through his messages.

Kristen's eyes widened. "What are you doing?"

"Checking out his messages," I replied. I thought I'd seen my name flash in front of me, so I scrolled back up and clicked the link to open it up. And I was right. Apparently, I was on the list of pretty-faced girls that Josh and his friend, Todd, had. I was number three.

Kristen frowned. "My name's there."

"You're number seven on his cute girls list," I said, giggling. I smirked. "Now... ooh, Massie is number four. I beat her! Would you look at that? Alicia is number one. And there's Olivia, right on the second spot." I snorted. "Layne Abeley is number five? With all that make-up and weird clothes she puts on, I've never been able to see her real skin." I scrolled down. Todd had also shared his, but none of us were there. Only some senior girls I'd never known. Alicia and Massie, of course, had made it. They were the school's prettiest girls. Not on the top three, but still. They ranked in a popular senior's list!

"What are you girls doing?"

Kristen jumped, and I remained frozen.

Chris peaked his head through the hole between us. "That's Josh's Facebook!"

I sighed, relieved. It was just Chris Plovert, one of my good friends. "Yup. He left it signed in."

Chris shook his head. "Stupid boy. Do him a favor and sign off for him."

I frowned. "Of course not! We'll have fun with this."

Kristen smiled.

Chris noticed her. "Oh, hey. Kristen, right?"

Kristen nodded. "You're Chris."

"You remember!" he announced, grinning. "How was you first day of school?"

"Great, I really enjoyed it," she replied.

As I gazed at the list, and idea settled in my mind. "Guys, I like the two of you. So let's form a trio and call it the Unstoppable Pranksterz!"

"What?" Chris blurted out.

"Because I just had the greatest idea for a prank," I continued.

"You really need to improve your witty metaphors," Chris murmured.

"Whatever," I replied, highlighting the list. I copied, and pasted it in Josh's status.

"Now way," Kristen breathed out.

"Dyl," Chris warned.

"Relax, Pranksterz!" I said, as I added a note at the end. 'Just thought you should know which girls I think are cute. Layne, this is for you, baby'. I published it, garnering a giggle from Kristen and a groan from Chris. I got out a packet of cookies from my bag. Popping one in my mouth, I offered one to Kristen, who gladly took it. Then I placed the packet in front of Chris.

He frowned. "It's prohibited to eat in the library. Besides, ballet dancers shouldn't be eating so much cookies."

"Please, that's a girl's line, not a boy's," I said, stuffing the packet in my bag. Kristen broke hers in half, and handed one piece to Chris, which he accepted gladly with a genuine smile.

I signed out from his account and resumed the library's app.

Kristen sighed, realizing her information was not there anymore. "Great."

"I can help you out, if you don't mind," Chris offered.

Kristen nodded, smiling. "That would be great. I've never been so good with all this techno stuff."

Chris chuckled. "Don't worry, I was born to handle technology."

I chuckled. "Yeah. Sadly, he was not doted with any girl skills."

Chris glared at me, and I shrugged. "It's the truth."

Chris quickly finished, and he smiled up at Kristen. "All done."

Kristen sighed, clearly relieved. "Thanks. I thought I'd spend the entire afternoon here."

Chris shook his head. "No problem. Whenever you need help with this, I'll be sure to help you."

I smiled. "I'm here, too."

Kristen laughed. "Yeah, to pull pranks on people."

"What? Weren't you laughing when I was pulling a prank on Josh?" I exclaimed.

"Excuse me?"

My smile disappeared.

Chris's eyes widened.

Kristen crossed her arms, looking down at the ground.

I was in trouble.

I slowly turned around. A handsome, tall boy was glowering down at me. His hands were balled into fists, and his brown eyes were narrowed. His red lips were turned downwards, and his black eyebrows furrowed into a frown. His olive-colored face was slightly tilted down, so his jet black hair obscured his broad forehead. That, and the way his defined jaw tensed up made him look even creepier than Josh usually did.

"What did you do?" he demanded.

I sucked in a breath. "Nothing... I just let the girls who you think are cute know."

Josh's eyes narrowed even more. "What?"

I pursed my lips. "Thanks for placing me in the top three, by the way. Kristen also appreciates you adding her to the list."

Josh turned scarlet red. With anger or embarrassment, I don't know. Maybe a little bit of both? "You saw that?!"

I shrugged. "Hard not to when you leave your account signed in."

Josh pushed me away, and plumped down on the chair.

"Don't worry, I already signed out," I informed him.

Josh quickly logged in, and his mouth dropped open at the status update I'd made. To my surprise, nearly everybody had already commented. He quickly deleted the status, but the deed was already done.

Chris face-palmed.

"You!" he groaned, glaring at me. "You're gonna pay."

I shrugged. "Yeah, right."

He stood up, and was ready to grab me from the collar of my shirt, when Chris interfered.

"Okay, calm down, dude," he soothed.

"How could you let that happen?" he questioned Chris.

"Kids! Silent!" the librarian exclaimed, eyeing us sternly.

Josh glared. "You'll get it from me, too."

Chris grimaced.

"Oh, come on," I began. "Leave them out of this. My hands were the ones who published that."

He shook his head. "You'll see."

With one more menacing glare, he pushed past me and stomped out the library.

I snorted, but I was a bit shaken up, though I hate to admit it.

Chris glared at me. "Do you see what you've done?"

"Please," I replied. "It was an empty threat. No harm will be made."

Chris shook his head.

I looked down, slightly unsettled. Last year, some kid had gotten on his bad side. Josh's bullying was so much, that he had to drop out. But he wouldn't do that to me, right? After all, I am a girl... and the principal's daughter.

Trying to stop thinking of the possible consequences, I shook my head. "Chris, I heard Cam was having a concert?"

Kristen perked up at this.

Chris still looked shaken up by the Josh thing. But he ignored it. "Yeah, I forgot to tell you. This Saturday he's playing some 80's songs in a café nearby."

"80's songs?" Kristen chimed in, her eyes sparkling.

Chris nodded. "Fan of the oldies?"

She grinned. "Totally."

"Me too," Chris replied.

I raised my eyebrows. "Alrighty then... I guess we're invited?"

"The whole eleventh grade is. If some other grades want to drop by, they're more than welcome," Chris replied, nodding.

I smiled. "Perfect, we can go as a group, then."

Chris shrugged. "Sure, why not?"

I wrapped my arms around each, sighing. "I can already smell a tight friendship, guys."

Chris smiled, Kristen giggled.


Alright, so I know some of you wanted Massie's POV. But these first five chapters (wow, so many already? :P) were primarily to introduce you to the main characters. Now that they have been, and some of their 'adventures', we could say, have been hinted, the next chapters I'm going to divide them in different POVs. I'll try to have the five girls' POVs, but if I can't, expect at least three of them.

It's too early to ask, but do you have any favorite characters so far? Some of them will change, and others will stay the same. Stay tuned to find out :P

HINT: The concert will trigger a lot of important events ;)
