Chapter 6.

Lissa POV

"Andre, I am up, go away!" I yell to my annoying older brother as he banged on the door. This was an everyday thing, I would be up getting ready for school and he would bang on my door like he didn't know I was awake. When we were little I hated getting up in the morning so that's where the morning ritual started.

But now since we started high school, I loved getting up. I mean what's not to love about high school? I am a cheerleader, I have an awesomely hot boyfriend, and the best friends a girl could ask for. It's awesome. Or at least that's what I keep telling myself. Since we got this pen pal assignment, I have been rethinking things. I mean don't get me wrong I love cheering and my friends but things Aaron does are just starting to get on my nerves.

And not that I really need any more stress, but I found out yesterday that Adrian is cheating on Rose. Who would have thought? And keeping it from her is killing me. She and I had been best friends since were kids, and someone was picking on me because of how pale I was, calling me a vampire, and Rose punched them. She got suspended but we have best friends since. She is the sister that I never had.

Shaking my head to clear it I plugged in my iPod and put it on shuffle as I hopped into the shower as the opening cords to Under the Sea, from Little Mermaid came on. Laughing to myself I started singing along as I washed myself and shaved my legs. By time I was done washing my long blonde hair All the Small Things by Blink 182 was playing. Gotta love the crazy taste I have right? From Disney to blink 182, my iPod is always surprising me.

Dancing my way from my bathroom to my room I smiled as I pulled out the shorts and tank top I was going to wear to school. It may be turning into fall but it was still warm enough during the day to wear shorts. They would have to be put up soon, so I was taking advantage of being able to wear them still. After getting dressed I went to the bathroom as I sang along with the new song that was playing, To the Moon and back by savage garden and pulled my hair up into a pony tail. As I pulled my hair though the loop I smiled to myself thinking of the nick name that my pen pal had given me. Pony, since in my first letter I had told him that I had to go because I was getting a head ache from my pony tail. And at the heading of my next letter from him he called me Pony. I still need a nick name for him though, and it has been bugging me for the last 2 days thinking of one.

I have decided either Ice, since he said that his favorite desert is ice cream, or Pyro, since he told me a story about him accidently lighting his cousin's dress on fire when they were kids. I'll have to ask him in my next letter. Speaking of which, I owe him one. Finishing up with the last bit of my makeup I turn grab my iPod and walk to my desk where my back pack is with my letter to "Friend" in the week since we started writing, it feels like I can tell him anything and he won't judge. There is only one other person I can do that with, and that's Rose. Smiling to myself I scroll though the songs in the playlist I made the other day and clicked in Crush, by Mandy Moore and put my head phones and sat down to write my letter.

Dear Friend,

Just this morning I was thinking, 'hmm, I don't have a name to call my 'friend' and calling you friend all year will just be too cheesy. So I have decided that I need a nick name for you, I have narrowed down to either Ice, or Pyro. Which do you like better?

And as for your question about if I am going to tell my friend about her boyfriend, I think I have to. I mean she would do the same for me. And she and I don't keep secrets from each other; it is tearing me apart to keep this from her for this long. Do you think I should tell her? It will destroy her, but at the same time, she deserves someone who will be faithful to her. She is one of the most loyal people I know.

But now I have to go, my annoying brother is banging on my door, trying to get me to go to school. Off to another day of being miss perfect star cheerleader and deal with my doushebag boyfriend. I wish that I could break up with him without the rest of the school hating me. *sigh*

Till next time,

Pony

PS, are you going to the bon fire tonight? Maybe we will see each other.

As I reread over my letter I smiled, than grabbed the envelope I had taken out and put the letter in it. Then took my pen and scrolled 21-B on it. As I put it in my bag, Andre banged on the door again. "Liss let's go! We are going to be late!" he shouted through my door. Shaking my head I stood up, slipped my flip flops on and walked out the door.

"Ok I am coming, jeez keep your hair on." Walking past him I give him my best glair, which is not that good, but still. When I get down stairs to the kitchen, I see Taylor, the girl who lives next door to us sitting at the table. "Hey Tay, ready for school?" I ask her smiling as I grabbed an apple and sat down. As I was taking a bite my phone vibrated and started singing Bad Reputation by Joan Jett. It was Rose's ring tone. Smiling I pulled my phone out to check the message. *WHERE U * reading her message made me laugh. Rose loved English but when it came to texting, she was hopeless. *At home still, Andre is taking forever to do his hair. I swear he is more girly than I am Lol* I sent back to her, and not even a minute later I heard Andre's phone go off and him seeming to be arguing with someone. No doubt Rose called him to bitch at him. Gotta love my best friend.

After a couple more minutes, he walked down stairs. "Let's go. Oh and thank you for telling Rose that I was doing my hair, she has threatened to show everyone in school pictures of me in middle school" he said with a scowl, and a shiver. Middle school was horrible for him. He looked like a bean pole that got into a fight with a lawn mower. Ya, it was bad.

Flashing him a smile I walked out to his car, as mine was in the shop. Thanks to him of course. He 'accidently' backed into it when he was backing out last week. But luckily it would be back by Sunday. Climbing in the front seat I put my head phones on so I didn't have to hear my brother flirting with Taylor or listen to his music. No worse way to start a day than having to listen to someone brag about all the sex and drugs they get, aka most rap/hip hop music today.

When we pulled up to the school I saw the telltale red hair of my co caption Alex Ozera, walking over to the car. As soon as I was out she smiled at me. "Hey Liss, I was thinking we should do one last practice after school. Some of the new girls are still shaky with the cheers. And I swear, if they mess up tonight I will chop their hair off while they sleep." She told me laughing. Alex and I had been on the squad since we were freshmen, and therefore knew that we could trust each other without a doubt.

"Ya sound good. Though, how you would get to them while they sleep is a scary thought. I want nothing to do with your breaking and entering Red" I told her laughing as we walked over to the table where Rose, Adrian, Mason and Eddie sat. "See you after school" I called to her as she walked away, seeing her girlfriend walk out of the building.

"Who is excited about the bon fire today?" I ask sitting down between Rose and Adrian, who doesn't seem to have any problem with me being there. Every year the school has a homecoming bonfire. It's always the best night of the year, next to prom of course. And it's not even really the bon fire that's fun, it's the after parties. Which tonight the biggest and most bad ass one will be at Rose's house, since her mom is in Spain. The cheerleaders always do a couple routines and all the members of the fall sports teams are introduced.

"Blondie, Blondie, Blondie. You know as well as anyone, no one is excited about the bonfire, now the monster party at Rosie's place after word? Ya, that we are excited about" Mason said laughing and rubbing his arm from where Rose had hit him for calling her Rosie. She hated it and everyone knew it. "So how are we going about telling people? Just going around person my person or what?"

Smiling I pulled out my phone and sent a message to everyone in my phone, which happened to be 90% of the school. *AFTER PARTY AT ROSE HATHAWAYS PLACE AFTER THE BONFIRE. BYOB, SPREAD THE WORD* and watched as everyone's phone around me started going off. "Taken care of." I said as the bell rang for class.

A/N I am so so so sorry about the late update! I have had crazy writers block! Plus I have rereading Fifty Shades of Grey. (Love that series! Ha-ha) and roleplaying. Not to mention my sister came up from phoenix for a week.

Anyway I am hoping to be able to get another chapter out tonight. This was really just a filler chapter, the bon fire and the party are what we are working for, since you know there will be drinking and craziness happening. XD

Anyway how do you think I did with Lissa's pov? Did I do the princess justice? I hope I did. I wanted to do someone other than just Rose and Dimitri. But we will be getting back to them soon. Lol I will also be going back to doing the quote/walk in thing at the beginning of the chapters. I didn't do it in this one because I had 2 people that I needed to get in to this one and only got one. Taylor (Peve3) Jordon you will be in the next one!

Oh! And who else is excited about filming for the movie starting today? I SOOOOO am! I have been counting down the days till it started. Lol hell I am so excited about it that on Sunday I went out and got some new Vampire Academy tattoos! Yup that's right; I got 2 Molninja's, a Promise mark and the Zasda on the back of my neck! They are kind of amazing! Ha-ha I uploaded the pic as my Avatar on my page if you want to see them. XD

Oh one more thing, well 2 but one more paragraph ha-ha. 1, I need your guys help to come up with better nick names for Lissa and Christian. Lol and 2, I want to write a role for my mother in the story, I just don't know if she should be a teacher, or a friend of Roses or lissa's moms. Hmm what do you people think? Send me ideas for what you want to see!
