Sonya

I leaned in really close to him and kissed him. His mouth was warm against mine and it tasted like alcohol. The kiss was a sloppy one, not like me and Nick's…

Nick!

We sprang apart, and stared at each other "I-I am sorry."

There was a long awkward silence until he said "Should we go back."

I tried to stand up, but my legs buckled underneath my weight and I fell. The world spun and I gagged "I don't think I c-can swim back."

Fear sprang into Daniels stunning green orbs. "I-I guess we can stay here."

Daniel

I woke up to the sound of vomiting. The sun was beating into my eyes, and I had a killer headache. Rubbing my temples as I got up, I saw the person that was vomiting was Sonya.

"You okay?" I croaked. She didn't look it, bloodshot eyes, wild hair sticking out in every direction, and I'm guessing bad breath. But I couldn't complain about that, because I probably had it too.

"My parents are going to kill me… and you."

"Tell me something I don't know." I hauled myself up and reached out to help Sonya, she grasped my hand and I pulled her up. There was something on her lips… EW it was vomit! "Uh… you got a little bit of… on your lips."

She wiped it off and groaned. "Is there any more on my face?"

I inspected her lips.

The same lips I kissed last night, and shuddered at the thought. Sonya was like my sister! I thought she liked Nick. Or maybe she does, and she was just really drunk. I know I liked Anastasia, I mean I really liked her. I wanted to ask her about it but that would be an awkward conversation I could just picture it… So how about that drunken kiss last night?

"No, there's no more."

Thank God, Sonya didn't throw up on the way home, and she managed to swim on her own. But our luck only went a little bit, because when we got to my house the lights were on and I could see Gale, Johanna and my mom glaring out the window.

"We're dead." I muttered to Sonya on the way to the house.

I think my eardrum almost broke because right away when we entered the kitchen all I could hear was Johanna shrieking. "WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU GUYS BEEN! DO YOU KNOW HOW WORRIED WE WERE? OH MY GOD I COULD THROTLE YOU BOTH RIGHT NOW…"

I tried to tune it could as best as I could. My headache was growing more and more intense, and finally just to make my sweet 'aunt' Johanna's day…

I vomited right in front of her feet. "Oh… my… god!" She yelled and ran out of the kitchen with Gale right on her heels.

Yep, I am defiantly dead.

"Sonya why don't you go lay down." My mom told her.

Sonya nodded and scrambled out of the room, she was glad she wasn't that much in trouble yet. But just wait until her mom washes off her shoes.

"I'm very disappointed." My mom said, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"I'm so sorry mom." I meant it to, nothing made me feel worse then was my mother's disapproving glare.

Mom sat on the edge of the counter "You've been acting different lately." She tapped her fingers on the granite top "is it a girl?"

A squirmed a little. Was it that obvious I liked someone? "It's not Sonya." I admitted. My mom raised an eyebrow "Uh… it's someone I met in 12… Anastasia…"

Her face filled with recognition, but I added "Sonya kissed me though and I feel horrible."

My mom thought for a minute. "When did she kiss you?"

I felt my face flush bright red "Uh… last night."

Her green eyes widened "You didn't-"

"NO!" I almost shouted.

Now it was her turn to flush "Good because you're too young."

"Too young for what?" Johanna asked while walking back into the kitchen, I received a glare. A really evil glare.

"Nothing," She said lightly, but knowing the look in her eyes, we'd be having a serious conversation soon.

Anastasia

I was sitting on my couch, minding my own business when my mom walked in and planted herself besides me. It was weird, mom and I never had the best relationship. We sat there in silence until she asked causally "So… you like Daniel?"

How the hell did she know that? I almost started hyperventilating, and my palms became sweaty "What are you talking about?" I tried to sound as casual as possible, but it wasn't working, I was never a good actor.

"I talked to Annie."

I frowned. My mom and Annie have grown close over the years, apparently she came to 12 to help her when she was pregnant with me. But I didn't know they were that close, I guess they wanted to set us up. Well they wouldn't have to try that hard considering I really liked him.

"I didn't know you were interested in my love life." I regretted my choice of words when the hurt flashed through my mom's face. Feeling bad I admitted to her "Yea, I do like him."

My mom smiled. "That's good." She chuckled. "Now that I know that, I know exactly who you are staying away from on your trip."

"What?" It didn't make sense. It's not like she's coming with us on the trip.

"Guess who I just talked to today?"

"Who?" I asked clearly confused.

"The principle of your school… Guess who's coming on the trip with you?"
