IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Today was the day that the gang had to work hard and fast. Today was a very special day for ome of the group members. Today was Irma Lair's birthday. They all were planning to make her day extra special because Irma has felt very sick during these days. Irma felt better today, but they wanted to make her feel 100 percent better.

"Alright guys, right now Irma is with her family. She's gonna come back in about 2 hours. What should we do for her?", Will said.

Everyone (well except Irma, duh) was sitting in Alex and Matt's room.

"It has to be something really big. Something worthy of Irma's status", Matt smirked as he played a simple chord on his electric guitar.

"Well, everyone knows that Martin has a big surprise for her, don't we guys?", Hay Lin grinned as everyone else gave Martin the same evil grin.

"Wha-? What are you talking about", Martin cleared his throat nervously.

"You know exactly what we're talking about, Martin Tubbs", Taranee stood up straight and crossed her arms with a big grin on her face.

"No…I don't", Martin blushed.

"YOU'RE GOING TO ASK HER OUT!", all the girls exclaimed in unison.

"Yeah, dude, we know that you've been skipping all our hang-out days to practice asking her out ", Eric laughed, grabbing Matt's soccer ball that was next to his bed and started to play with it with his knees.

"Speaking of that, look what I found under Martin's bed!", Nigel took out a neatly-wrapped present with an aqua bow.

Martin gasped and quickly grabbed the present from his hands before glaring at him. "Ok ok, fine…you guys wint", Martin sighed and put the present back in its hiding spot.

"Aw, I can't wait to see the look on her face", Cornelia smiled.

"I bet you've seen many love-struck girls before; why would her face be any different", Caleb asked "innocently".

"Caleb, don't start this again", Cornelia glared.

"I was being honest! You girls have seen this many times, why is it so interesting?", Caleb asked.

"Because us girls actually love to see the happiness of others unlike you boys who never cry in Titanic", Elyon replied; Cornelia glaring at him more.

"Geez, sorry for asking", Caleb glared at Cornelia back before turning his attention back to the others.

Cornelia felt her cheeks burn. Cornelia gasped in her mind and turned the other way. Why am I blushing! I hate Caleb! He just said he was sorry in the worst possible way…but he said it so innocently…NO! Bad thoughts! Evil thoughts! Cornelia thought. She was snapped out of her thoughts when Will spoke again.

"Back to the plan people! We don't have all day", Will said, lying down on Matt's bed on her back; her head dangling on the edge to see the others.

"Hey, I think I have a totally awsome idea", Hay Lin squealed and told them her idea.

Later on…

Irma was on her way back to school. She sighed. She had to walk back to school. All she wanted was a car! Even a crappy little bike; all she wanted was some wheels to go around and not have to make her feet hurt every time.

After all; this was her 16th birthday and she already had a driver's liscense. But her parents said that she was old enough to get it on her own. What kind of parent would not give their child a car when they got their driver's liscence? My parents are that strict. They want me to become 'a responsible and working adult'. I'm still a teenager!.

Irma saw the sign that read 'Twilight High'. She walked towards the gate and saw the guard.

"Student?", the guard asked.

Irma took out her Twilight card that approved that she was a student at Twilight High. The guard opened the gates and was greeted by Hay Lin and Martin.

"Happy Birthday, Irma!", the two exclaimed in unison and hugged her tightly.

"Haha, thanks you guys. But can you stop squeezing me so I can hear you say 'happy birthday' for next year?", Irma gasped for air.

"Hehe, sorry", Hay Lin appologized as the two let go of her.

"So how was your day with your parents?", Martin asked as the three of them walked through the fields of the school.

"Meh, I've had better conversations with them. I mean, Chris kept bugging me even though it was my birthday. Now that he's older, his evil mind has grown more eviler! I shall have my revenge. But…it was ok. I missed my parents, and I was glad to see them again", Irma smirked.

"Mwahaha, only childs rock. So Irma, what did they give you for your birthday?", Hay Lin asked with excitement.

"They gave me a portable DVD player. I so can't complain; I already tried it out. It's awsome", Irma smiled widely.

Now the three were very close to the parking lot in front of the dormitory building.

"Irma, can you come with us over here?", Martin commanded more than asked because he and Hay Lin held on to her arms and pulled her to the parking lot instead of the dormitories.

"But…I wanna go see the others. Don't be buddy-hoggers, you guys. I know you love me, but come on", Irma smirked.

Without Irma noticing, Hay Lin winked at Martin, who blushed furiously. She mouthed, 'You love her!'.

'Shut up!', he mouthed back.

"Irma; what car did you always want?", Martin asked with a big smile on his face.

The two stopped her and stood in front of her to block her view.

"Uh…ok, sure. I've always wanted a lime green beetle. They're so adorable", Irma sighed dreamily.

"Good; so now we know that you'll love your birthday gift from all the gang and us", Hay Lin giggled.

"Wha--…No way…no you didn't", Irma started to jump up and down.

"SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY IRMA!", everyone jumped out from behind the cars and screamed their heads off.

Hay Lin and Martin got out of the way and extended their hands to the car in front of them like in the commercials. It was the lime green beetle with a big sash over it that said, 'Happy Sweet 16, Irma! From all of your buddys'.

"OH MY GOD! I TOTALLY LOVE YOU GUYS! YOU'RE THE BEST FRIENDS ANYONE COULD EVER HAVE!", Irma yelled and hugged all of them tightly.

"We wanted to make sure you felt 100 percent better! So all of us pitched in and I didn't actually think we could pull it off. Even with all of our money together, we still couldn't get it. But it turned out that the owner of the car store (whatever they're called) was Cornelia's 2nd cousin! He let us get it! It's Cornelia you should be thanking", Elyon laughed.

"Corny! I totally love you and your cousins!", Irma pushed them all away and hugged Cornelia tightly.

"Love me enough to not call me Corny?", Cornelia smiled.

"Anything, buddy ol' pal! Is it ok if I take it out for a test run?", Irma asked her friends, letting go of Cornelia.

"I'd be insulted if you didn't", Caleb smirked.

"Yaaaaay!", Irma ran to the car and saw the keys already in place.

"Hey Irma, before you go off-with me in the passenger seat! Haha!- Martin has a gift for you", Hay Lin squealed and all the gang huddled behind Martin and Irma with anxiousness.

"Oh…ok, what's up Martin?", Irma blushed.

Martin grabbed Irma and leaned her down in his arms (like in Tango, you know what I'm talking about?); almost touching the ground. Irma blushed furiously and the gang was 'Woo'ing out loud. Martin then kissed her sweetly on the lips. Irma's eyes widdened.

Who cares about the car now!, Irma thought and reacted now. She closed her eyes and kissed him back, wrapping her arms around his neck.

"YAAAYYY! WOOOO! GO IRMA AND MARTIN!", Hay Lin's voice was heard the most from the others.

"Ready gang?", Will asked.

"One, two, three!", they all exclaimed in unison before…

"Martin and Irma sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G! First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes the baby in the baby carriage (spelling!)", they all sang in unison.

Martin brought Irma back to her standing position and blushed furiously. "Happy birthday", Martin laughed.

"Whoa, forget the car", Irma laughed briefly, her cheeks completely red.

"I call in the front!",Hay Linexclaimed and started to run to the car.

"Wait!", Irma halted her.

"You're not gonna let your best friend in the whole world go in the front?", Hay Lin asked with "shock".

"It's not that. I'm gonna take the car for a spin later…I just wanna hang out with you guys now", Irma smiled.

"Yay! Party in Irma's dorm!", Taranee yelled and everyone ran into the dormitory building.

They were all in a crowd in front of Hay Lin and Irma's door. Irma desperatley tried to push through them. She finally stretched her hand out to unlock the door and everyone ran inside.

Irma sighed happily and closed her door.

"What do you guys wanna do? I'm in the mood for party games", Will laughed as she accidently fell on the bed.

"I know! Let's play the very classic game of spin the bottle", Hay Lin grinned.

"No way", Caleb crossed his arms.

"Do we have to?", Nigel sighed.

"Yes you do, because it's my birthday and I say so", Irma grinned.

"Oh great", the guys sighed.

"Oh! Let's dim the lights!", Hay Lin squealed and went to dim the lights.

"It's dark enough outside, but whatever", Matt chuckled as they all started to sit down in a circle.

Irma went over to the mini fridge, got out a water bottle, and joined her friends.

"Shotgun I pick", Hay Lin grinned and looked at all her friends.

"Oh boy, we're in trouble, aren't we?", Cornelia said.

"Oh yeah", Hay Lin laughed evily. "I pick…Alex"

"Me? How come?", Alex complained, but reached out to spin the bottle. It landed on Matt.

"Oh great", Alex's eyes went wide.

"I like you as a friend, you rock", both of the boys said and shook hands.

"Hahaha! Losers!",Eric laughed.

"Oh shut up Eric, cause I choose you", Matt through the bottle at him.

"Ow, you didn't have to throw it. Fine",Eric said and spun the bottle.

The bottle got slower and slower until it finally stopped on the one he always got nervous with.

"Eric, you have to kiss Hay Lin!", they all laughed.

Hay Lin and Eric blushed furiously.

"Uh...I gotta go to the...thing", Eric said and started to get up.

"Oh no you don't! You and Hay Lin are kissing", Irma went to the door.

"Fine, ok ok. If you tell anyone, I'll kill you", Hay Lin threatened playfully.

"Not like you weren't gonna spill our secrets", Cornelia whispered.

"What?", Hay Lin asked.

"Nothing", everyone smiled.

Hay Lin gave them a suspicious look before turning to Eric. They slowly leaned in together until their lips finally met briefly. Everyone cheered loudly and giggled.

"Still friends, right?", Eric blushed.

"Uh-huh", Hay Lin blushed and sat down.

"Now, Hay Lin picks", Irma said.

Hay Lin scanned the circle of friends until her eyes landed on abrunette boy.

"I pick Caleb", Hay Lin grinned.

"Fine", Caleb said and spun the bottle. It got slower and slower until it landed on a certain blonde girl he didn't want it to land on.

"OH MY GOD! YAY! Finally I get to see Cornelia and Caleb kiss!", Hay Lin squealed with delight and clapped her hands.

Cornelia and Caleb stared at each other with red cheeks.

"I am not kissing him", Cornelia said, crossing her arms and glaring at him.

"What makes you think I want to", Caleb groaned and glared back.

"Well you have to and there's no quitting because I say so. Now kiss", Irma demanded with a grin on her face.

"You know what? I know how to get out of this", Caleb said and got up.

He walked over to Cornelia and bent down. Cornelia was shocked that he wouldn't put up an argument to kiss her. Before she could say anything, he pecked her cheek and then went back to sit in his spot.

"NO WAY! You cheated!" Eric argued.

"Yeah! It's not supposed to be on the cheek!", Elyon pouted.

"I never heard any of you say that it can't be on the cheek", Caleb smirked. Cornelia sighed in relief.

"Ok, from now on it's only on the lips, not on the cheek…unless it's guy and guy or girl and girl", Irma said.

"Do it now, you two cheated", Hay Lin demanded.

"No way; we did what you said so that's it", Cornelia argued.

"Oh my god! I totally forgot about the…", Taranee looked at her friends.

"Oh yeah! We have to give Irma her other present. I'll go get it; it's in my room, right?", Elyon asked.

"Yeah", they all said. Elyon quickly ran out of the room.

"You guys got me another present? Seriously, I think the car is enough. I feel so spoiled, mwahahaha", Irma smirked.

As fast as Elyon left, she came back with a chocolate volcano cake with lots of small candles inside the volcano to make it look like it had lava. Everyone started to sing happy birthday and put it in front of Irma.

"Ok, are you ready for the chocolate explosion?", Will asked.

"Oh yeah!", Irma exclaimed.

"Then just blow out the candles", Elyon laughed.

Irma blew the candles and the chocolate erupted up, making everyone yelp and then laugh because they got covered in chocolate. The chocolate oozed down the cake.

Everyone got spoons from the small table next to the fridge and ate the entire cake.

"Whoa, I'm stuffed", Hay Lin giggled.

"Yeah me, too. Hey we better get going; it's already 9 and you know how they always check up on us to see that we're all in our rooms", Taranee reminded.

"Oh my god you're right. Now all of youget out of my room or I'll have to use force", Hay Lin laughed evily and got out her heavy purple bag.

"Oh no! Everyone run!", Eric yelled as all of them ran out of the dorm.

"Thanks you guys! See you tomorrow", Irma waved before Hay Lin closed the door.

Cornelia and Caleb entered their dorm and got comfortable. Cornelia suddenly wrinkled her nose in disgust as she smelled the chocolate on Caleb (she was in the back so she didn't get any chocolate on her)

"Take a shower Caleb! That chocolate is starting to stink up the room" Cornelia complained and put her hands over her nose.

"You don't have to tell me, 'mom', I was on my way there!", Caleb argued. He grabbed whatever was on top of his drawer and went inside the bathroom.

"Ugh…boys" Cornelia huffed and layed down on her back on the bed.

Cornelia waited for him to come out of the bathroom to change into her PJ's and get ready to sleep. She could change right there, but she felt more comfortable inside the bathroom where no one would come in or the fear of Caleb opening the door. So she began to think about what's been going on between her and Caleb.

I have to admit, I don't hate Caleb anymore. He's ok. But I'm still so confused. Why do I always feel so…jealous when he's talking with girls? Or why do I always feel butterflies when he smiles at me? Is it possible that I like him…more than a friend? It can't be possible!, Cornelia thought, sighing in the process.

She put the pillow over her head for no reason. She suddenly heard a click from the bathroom, which meant he was opening the door. She must've been carried away in her thoughts too long. She put the pillow back under her head.

"Hey Cornelia, have you seen my blue shirt that has the word 'Colorado' on it? I like to sleep in it when it's pretty cold", Caleb asked, running his hand through his wet hair. He only had on comfortable looking PJ pants.

"My God, Caleb! Put on a shirt! What's wrong with you?", Cornelia asked, her eyes wide with shock. Sure she had to admit he looked hot, but still.

"What? It's not like you've never seen me shirtless before," Caleb replied as if it was a daily thing.

"But I'm a girl! Doesn't that mean anything to you?", Cornelia got up from the bed.

"No, not really"

"Ugh, whatever. Just put a shirt on either way!" Cornelia's cheeks began turning pink as she looked away.

"Aww…c'mon Cornelia. You have to admit, I'm not that horrible looking" Caleb smirked at the blushing girl.

"Shut up! Get away from me!" Cornelia yelled, turning red from embarrassment.

Caleb decided to tease her by walking closer and closer to her, causing her to blush furiously and back away; now at the foot of her bed.

"Caleb, I told you to stay away!", she exclaimed.

"You can't get away from me, mwahaha!" Caleb grinned.

"Holy-". Suddenly, Caleb tripped over Cornelia's backpack, which got tangled in his feet, and accidently fell on top of Cornelia on the bed.

"Caleb! What's wrong with you? Get off of me now!", Cornelia demanded, blushing furiously.

"I can't, my foot is caught on your bag and you're kinda weighing down on my hand", Caleb's right hand somehow ended up on Cornelia's back.

"Why don't you try and kick it off then?" Cornelia continued to glare.

"Umm…because I'm in too much pain to do it?", Caleb smiled.

"You're doing this on purpose aren't you?" Cornelia asked.

"Maybe…" Caleb smirked.

The blonde girl didn't really know what to say now.

"No, I'm kidding, I'm really stuck! First of all, my foot is tangled with your backpack, and then you're crushing my hand, and lastly, I'm trying as hard as I can to not crush you with my weight either!"

Cornelia blushed furiously. She could hear the rhythm of his heart beat. He was so close to her. The air around her was intoxicated with his coconut smell. She could feel his hot breath down her neck. Ack! Why am I thinking evil thoughts!

Caleb felt nervous like Cornelia, and started to blush, too. For some reason he felt like kissing her at that exact moment, but that would bring so many questions to both of them.

"Umm…Cornelia?"

"Yeah?"

She looked into his green eyes. She always got lost in them every time she looked. She could see that Caleb was moving closer to her face for a kiss. She didn't know why but she was moving closer too.

A few minutes earlier outside their room…

"Hey Nigel, what are you doing here?", Taranee asked.

"Oh, I'm here to see Caleb cause he needed to borrow the Science text book for the homework…why are you here?", Nigel asked.

"I'm gonna tell Cornelia about the hang out with Irma and her car," Taranee replied, raising her eyebrow; growing suspicious.

"If you're gonna see Cornelia, then why are you here? This is Caleb's room," Nigel informed.

"What are you talking about? This is Cornelia's room. I come here all the time with Elyon, Will, and Hay Lin to hang out," Taranee argued. Why would Nigel get confused with Cornelia's room and Caleb's room?

"What? That can't be right. When you girls are hanging out somewhere, I sometimes come to Caleb's room with the other guys. I know this is Caleb's room", Nigel argued back.

"Ok, fine. Let's just settle this now. Let's go inside, I mean, the door isn't even locked," Taranee said, pointing at the door knob.

"Okay then, but I know I'm right," Nigel said as Taranee rolled her eyes playfully.

The two slowly opened the door knob, letting themselves into the room to find Caleb and Cornelia about to kiss.

"Oh my god! Caleb and Cornelia were about to make babies!" Nigel yelled, seeing that Caleb was shirtless and was on top of the blonde girl.

Cornelia and Caleb just stared in shock as they saw their two friends staring back at them with the same expression.

Cornelia took the liberty of just pushing Caleb off of her.

Why didn't I think of that before…Cornelia thought, feeling very stupid that she could've stopped what was about to happen.

"WHAT WERE YOU GUYS DOING?" Taranee and Nigel exclaimed in unison.

Cornelia and Caleb began turning as red as a cherry.

"Umm…you see…" Caleb trailed off.

………

"And that's the whole story," Cornelia finished off. She told them everything from when the principal wouldn't let them switch rooms and how they were room mates, to that time where Caleb fell on top of her.

She and Caleb were both sitting together on her bed and Taranee and Nigel were sitting on Caleb's bed, the four facing each other. Caleb never found his blue shirt, so he wore a white muscel shirt (drools).

"I still can't believe the principal allowed you two to have the same room!" Taranee said in shock.

"I wouldn't complain if I had a girl as a roommate…" Nigel smirked as he got lost in his fantasies.

"You're disgusting!" Taranee exclaimed as she punched his arm.

"Oww…"

"Just don't tell the rest of the gang, okay?" Cornelia begged.

"Yeah, who knows what they'll think!" Caleb exclaimed.

"Don't worry we won't," Taranee turned her head to face Nigel, "right Nigel?"

"Yes!" Nigel sat up straight from his slouch.

"Thanks guys" Caleb and Cornelia sighed.

"Hey Cornelia, I was wonderng if Taranee was here to tell you about the-" Elyon paused along with Alex and just stared at all four of them.

Since guys weren't allowed in a girl's dorm room and vice versa, well you can understand the situation…

"What are you all doing here?" Elyon asked.

"I'm never gonna live it down…" Cornelia pouted.

…………

"Are you serious? You have to share a room with Cornelia!" Alex exclaimed.

"Yes, already!" Caleb replied annoyed, for the past few minutes Alex has been asking the same question over and over.

"Just make sure this is a secret just between us, okay?" Cornelia begged once more.

"Yes, we promise!" Elyon and Alex said in unison.

At the door they could hear other voices coming from the other side.

"I told you already! This is Cornelia's room, not Caleb's!" Hay Lin exclaimed, barging in the room with the rest of the gang.

"Hey, what are you all doing here?" Martin asked.

"Ugh…now everyone knows!" Cornelia cried out and puther head in her hands in frustration.

"Ooh! I see how it is; you and Caleb are sharing rooms, right?" Irma grinned.

"Really, no wonder you two are so close! Imagine what happens behind the scenes!" Hay Lin laughed.

"HAY LIN!" They all yelled in unison.

"Just kidding! But seriously," Hay Lin's grin grew wider.

"Oh great…this is like a living nightmare!" Cornelia exclaimed.

"So much for 'be in your dorm by 10'…" Caleb sighed.

"Oh yeah! We have to get to our rooms before the teacher's pets- the Grumper sisters- tell on us", Will informed the gang.

"To the dorms!" Eric said dramatically as everyone went out the door (duh, except Cornelia and Caleb).

Yet, Hay Lin stayed for one more question.

"So what does happens when you two are alone together in here?", Hay Lin grinned.

"Hay Lin, get out", Caleb pushed her out the door and locked it.

"So you also lied about the roomate thing?", Cornelia asked, clearing her throat a little.

"Yeah…sorry, I didn't want them to know or they would've gotten…like that. Hay Lin is going to be teasing us a lot now", Caleb blushed a little and plopped on his bed.

"It's ok…I lied to. Guilty as charged", Cornelia said and got her pj's from the closet.

"Hey Cornelia…sorry about earlier", Caleb looked at his feet.

"Well…I don't know if I'll forgive you this time", Cornelia said and walked into the bathroom.

"What!" Caleb exclaimed and went to the bathroom and saw her betting out her comb.

"I'm kidding! Now get out of the bathroom before you make me change my mind, you pervert", Cornelia through a towel at him.

"I am not a pervert. And keep your towels to yourself; it's all pink", Caleb scrunched his nose at her towel and threw it back at her before leaving to his bed.

Cornelia picked up the towel and closed the door. She looked in the mirror and saw her cheeks pink. She felt her heart beating quicker, and then relax.

Mabye it's true…am I really falling for this skateboarder?

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Dang, more than 4000 words in only this chapter. I guess that's why it took me so long. Well, I hope you stayed with me this whole chapter. And I hope my bratty cousin didn't change any names this time. Bye!
