CHAPTER TWO:

OLIVER'S SPOT:

"This isn't weird...is it?" Oliver asked.

"No, not at all, it's kind of cool. Almost like the one place in high school where you can be comfortable and not worry." Karma replied

"Yea, well Amy found it cool too."

"So, you bring all the ladies here?" Karma insinuated.

"Actually no." he grinned. "The last person and first person was Amy. She and I were enjoying then she saw you singing in the cafeteria."

"Oh, well that was my first time-"

"Singing in front of everyone, I know she said that as she left out."

"Sorry?"

"Oh no, you did an awesome job. I mean, have you seen it?"

"No."

"Of course, you were singing…dumb." He goofed. "Let me see if I can bring it up, I kind of played around with it, if that's ok." he began typing. Suddenly Karma singing appeared on the screen like a professional performance.

"Wow, its great Oliver."

"Thanks, I thought I would give it to Amy..." Oliver replied as Karma looked at him and grinned.

"You really liked Amy?" Karma asked, as Oliver grinned.

"She is kind of awesome."

"She is that." Karma added, suddenly noticing her focus on Liam.

"Oliver, can I ask you a question?"

"Sure."

"Why are relationships so hard?"

"Well...I'm not really sure but if I had to guess, it's because true love never has endings, it's constant with a thousand variables" Oliver looked at the screen, then at Karma. "It's unexplained. So the joy is in its hypothesis and getting to perform the experiment. "Karma looked at him taken back with a grin. "What?"

"For someone unsure, you sure have a good answer."

"Well, I get all my advice from this Doctor."

"Oh...and any other good advice? "

"He also once said, you know you're in love when you don't want to fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams."

"Very poetic..."

"Oh, well Dr. Seuss always is." he grinned as Karma smiled back, suddenly one of the screen flashed Liam outside in the back of the school hammering something.

"Oliver, thank you for this... but I gotta go do something I needed to do a day ago." she stood up. "Can you come over later tonight?" she added, writing on a paper.

"Sure, of course." he said as Karma put the paper in front of him.

"So yea, here's the address, just come and will talk about the film short." She said leaving out.

HESTER HIGH LUNCH ROOM:

"So, Lauren, is your nose broke?" Lisbeth asked.

"No. It's just a minor bruise but its well worth it. The Karmmies are left to wonder whether their perfect little charity cases are together, Liam Booker is no longer a biggest threat, and my secret has official been silenced through sex tape bribe."

"So what do we focus on now?" Leila replied.

"Reclaiming my domination of the school power through the presidency."

"Really? But no one's ever lost to Timber Duncan."

"Well there's a first for everything." Lauren replied looking at Timber who stood among a group of people.

HESTER HIGH ALLY:

[Hammering...as music plays in the background]

"A NEW PIECE?" Karma yelled as Liam looked over; he turned the music down and then removed his protective glasses.

"What?"

"I said...a new piece?"

"You could say that." he said looking at it.

"Liam..."she began, ultimately realizing this couldn't come out in her favor. "Hi." she replied.

"My name is Karma Ashcroft. I'm a sophomore here at Hester High, and I wanted to introduce myself." she said sincerely.

"You know that name sounds familiar...oh yes, it's the name of a girl who hurt me pretty badly, and as much as I don't want to hold that against you, every time I see you it takes me back to fact that she lied."

"Liam..."

"Amy, told me you deserved another chance...but it's gonna take some time..."he answered. "I'm sorry." he replied, Karma looked at him for a moment.

"OK...Liam." she said with tears in her eyes. "But know that I'm not expecting everything to go

back as it used to" she added. "I just want to get to some normal. I want Amy back as my friend and I hope that we can be friends someday." She then left as Liam watched her go; Shane passed her coming to Liam.

"So, what was that about?"

"Nothing."

"Well, it has to be something." Shane nagged.

"You really want to know what it's about...it's about reevaluation. I'm really starting to reevaluate who's in my corner."

"What does that mean?"

"I don't know, Shane? Maybe the fact that you also lied, you totally knew I was making a fool out of myself over Karma and you knew she was lying."

"Hey, I told you."

"After the fact..."Liam rubbed his chin as he thought about it. "Do you even get it, how can I trust you again!" he demanded as Shane looked at him shaking his head.

"Because despite everything at the end of the day, we're best friends." Shane admitted. "Or did you forget that part." he said leaving, as Liam threw his hammer at the piece of metal.

RUDENFIELD-COOPER HOME:

As Farrah and Amy came into the house with the food smiling, they noticed William Booker and Lauren's dad sitting talking.

"Farrah, Amy, just the people I wanted to see." William began, Farrah placed the food down and came over and sat as Amy sat down beside her.

"Due to the recent incident and in light of your admission, I myself have decided that we must sue the person responsible for it."

"What?" Amy blurted.

"Amy, Mr. Booker and I, have agreed it would be in the best interest of everyone that we sued those involved. Whether the school or the person who did this."

"Really?" Amy started to laugh, suddenly Lauren came in.

"Farrah, Dad, Mr. Booker?"

"Guess what? Mr. Booker and your Father want to sue the person responsible for the tape and upload." Amy replied.

"Oh..." Lauren said.

"Pooh bear, I couldn't imagine something happening to you like this, I would fight it." Lauren Dad said coming over to her.

"That's just it, you can't fight it."

"Amy, we're only trying to-"

"Look, Mr. Booker, I'm sorry but I don't want to fight it."

"Amy?" Farrah commented Amy looked at her intensely; suddenly Farrah put her head down as Amy shook hers and left out of the door. "Amy? Amy?" Farrah called out.
