dove in love: I think Abbie got the best education anyone could ever receive! haha. And I totally agree with you. You just never know about those innocent ones. (looks around nervously) :D

Jessica-loves-Katie: Thank you so much! Your comment made me smile thiiiiiiiiiiiiiissssssssss wide. Tell your girlfriend that I have the best of intentions. haha. I honestly have no idea how my brain comes up with any of this. My imagination just runs wild and free. I have a feeling I'm going to be obsessed with your stories. Only one more hour until you can start posting! Pacific Standard Time is my time zone, so I know exactly when you can start! haha. Expect reviews from me for every chapter. :D

Alex's POV

It's Abbie's last night with us before she goes to Houston to stay with her mom for the rest of the summer. We're hanging out in Serena's room right now which is like a shrine to her friendship with Abbie. Everywhere I look there are pictures of them together, even a few poster size pictures. Abbie says her room is the same way. I think it's a little obsessive, but the two of them see nothing unusual about it. A part of me feels as if I'll always be second to Abbie in Serena's life. Hopefully, I'm just being paranoid.

For lack of anything better to do, Serena decides to bring out her Quija board.

"We haven't played with this since we were 19!" Abbie says. "Who are we contacting tonight?"

"Nobody," Serena says with a huge smile on her face. "It's going to be our last year in college. We're going to ask about our future."

"This is crazy. Aren't we a little old for this?" I ask as the three of us put our hands on the cursor.

"The Quija board never lies, babe," Serena tells me.

"Rena, you go first," Abbie tells her.

Serena starts to laugh. "Will Abbie go out with Megan?" The cursor moves toward 'no'.

"Rena, I felt you move the cursor!" Abbie tells her.

"Did not," Serena snaps.

"Who is Rena's true love?" Abbie asks the board. The cursor moves toward 'A'.

"Alex, obviously," Serena says. The cursor keeps going toward a 'B' instead of an 'L.' The first 'B' is followed by a 'B, I, E'.

"It's just a stupid board game," Abbie tells me. "It means nothing."

"Well, according to Serena, the board never lies," I tell her.

"Who's my true love?" Abbie asks the board. The cursor moves toward the letters 'S, E, R, E, N, A'.

"Okay, that's eerie," Serena says to us.

Abbie looks at the expression on my face and quickly tries to justify the answer. "Rena and I are always saying we're each other's soul mate and true love. It doesn't mean anything."

"Maybe we're being too vague," Serena says to us and then turns to the board. "Who will Abbie marry?" The cursor moves to the letters 'S, E, R, E, N, A' again.

"I'm going to marry Serena?" Abbie says in disbelief. "That's so wrong."

"The board never lies," Serena jokes.

"I know how to prove this is wrong," Abbie says to us. "Ask about Alex."

"Who will I spend the rest of my life with?" I ask the board. The cursor moves toward the letters 'C, A, S, E, Y'.

"Maybe you'll just be friends," Serena suggests.

"Will I re-marry Casey?" I ask the board and the cursor moves toward 'yes'.

"I don't want to play anymore," Abbie says. "I knew we should have just tried to contact Marilyn Monroe like we always do."

After Serena puts the game away, we sit around in complete silence. I know we shouldn't place so much belief in a game, but it was too coincidental for us not to at least consider the answers we were given. Maybe she really is in love with Abbie.
