"I'm fine mom. I'm really am." Dana told her mom for the third time. Dana was sitting on her bed daydreaming.
"I'm just so worried about you. You've been through so much and I'm not even there for you." Dana's mother Lilly said. Dana felt bad. Her mother is all the way in Florida and it was all because of N. If N did not told her dad's affair, maybe her mom will still be there.
"Mom,I'm okay. I really am." Dana said in a shaky tone. She really did miss having her mom around. Life in California was not the same plus the text N sent to the girls. Can her life ever be drama free?
"I'm moving back to California. I miss you and I decided that it's the right decision to make. I can't wait to see you." Lilly said.
"I can't wait to see you too." Dana meant it. She missed having her mom around. If only N could go away.

"You look so nice." Lola told her mother Karen. Karen was standing wearing a nice dress and makeup. She was going out with her friends and was leaving Lola in the house alone for the night.
"Thanks honey. I haven't went to a party in forever. I feel old." Karen smiled. Lola giggled. Karen walked upstairs and Lola signed. She was really stressed about N and Callie and Vince but it was nice to have a little chat with her mom. Lola opened the fridge and took out a big bag of chips. She set it on the counter and was about to get a plate when she heard her mom's phone buzzed. Lola let curiosity get the better of her and opened her mother's purse. She gasped at how much money she saw inside. 1,000 in cash. How did her mom get this? She took her mother's phone and saw a next text.
Miss you like crazy. Wanna meet up?- Daniel.
Lola gasped. Her mom and detective Daniel broken up and she was really relived. Daniel was in charge of the Nicole Bristow murder case and was convinced that the girls especially Lola had something to do with Nicole's death. Plus Lola didn't like him because of his cocky attitude.
"What are you doing?" Karen asked Lola. Lola quickly put her mom's phone away.
"Daniel texted you. Are you back together with him?" Lola asked. Karen quickly grabbed her purse and Lola decided not to mention the money.
"Hell no. " Karen smiled and left the house. Lola rubbed her head. Her mom was keeping something from her. This is not the first time she seen so much money in her mom's purse. Where was she getting all these money from? On cue her phone buzzed.
Poor Lola. Mommy's keeping secrets from you. Wanna know how she gets the money? -N
Lola almost screamed as she saw a picture of her mom wearing a stripper outfit and dancing in front of guys. Her phone buzzed again.
Oops she did it again. -N

"I'm thinking about joining the school's basketball team." Cody told May. It was Monday and the siblings were walking down the halls of P.C.A.
"Really? I thought you hated basketball. " May said.
"You gotta try something new right?" Cody said as he walked off. May walked to her locker and opened it. She's been here for two weeks now and her locker was still empty. A part of her hoped that her family was moving back to England. Maybe then this N person will be gone. May put some books inside her locker and when she closed it, a girl was standing right next to her.
"May?" Stacey Dillisen asked. May was shocked to see a more glamour looking Stacey and she talked without a lisp.
"Stacey." May responded back. Everyone really changed around here.
"How are you? I haven't seen you in forever. " Stacey said. May didn't know what to say. She was never close friends with Stacey and felt bad when Nicole and her gang made fun of her but May never did anything. Just stood there and watched.
"I'm okay. How about you?" May asked.
"I'm relieved. " Stacey said. She smiled at May and May noticed that even the braces was gone.
"Why are you relieved?" May asked but her question wasn't answered as the bell ringed. Stacey walked away smiling. That was weird, May thought.

"My birthday is this Saturday and I'm throwing a party." Bella bragged. She was sitting down next to Quinn and Logan at lunch time.
"I thought you didn't want any parties?" Quinn asked as she took a sip of her water. Logan had his arms around her.
"I changed my mind. You only turn seventeen once. Everyone is invited except for nerds." Bella said. She then took out her phone and started texting.
"I can't wait to come." Quinn said. She couldn't believe she was thinking this but she really wanted to go to a party. Not to get drunk and have sex but to get her mind from N. Maybe she'll also have a little fun too.
"Me too. Quinn and I can dance the night away." Logan smiled brightly at Quinn. Quinn faked smiled back. She liked Logan very much but she was starting to get tired of his clingy behavior. He thought she was a little baby and he needed to be around her all the time. It was sweet at first but now it's just annoying.
"Hey guys. What are you talking about?" That Lisa girl asked as she sat next to Bella. Bella gave Lisa a look that made Lisa flinched a little.
"Bella's throwing a party and everyone is invited. " Logan said. Bella glared at Logan.
"Really? Can't wait. " Lisa said excitedly. Lisa smiled at Quinn and Quinn smiled back. She didn't really know Lisa but she seems like a nice girl. Bella noticed the two smiling and got jealous and angry.
"Lisa, you're not invited. I don't talk to girls like you. Now can you leave?" Bella said in a very bitchy tone. Quinn gasped and Logan looked shocked. Lisa looked like she was about to cry and walked away.
"Bella!" Quinn scolded. She was shocked by her best friend behavior.
"That was a bitchy move." Logan said matter of factly.
"Yeah. And does it look like I care. " Bella said. Logan shrugged and smiled at Quinn and Quinn faked smiled back.

"Hey Michael. " Zoey said as she approached Michael. Michael opened his locker and smiled at Zoey. He was wearing a P.C.A basketball uniform.
"You got in the basketball team? That's great." Zoey said happily.
"Thanks. Just trying to get my head out of all the drama. Sometimes you need a little distraction." Michael took a couple of books out of his locker and closed it. Something about Michael didn't look the same. He looked different, angry and depressed.
"Michael, are you okay?" Zoey asked concerned. She prayed to God that N was not targeting Michael.
"I'm fine. I just can't wait for Summer. This school year..." Michael went silent.
"It's crazy. Unbelievable. " Zoey spoke up. She couldn't believe how excited she was to start junior year. She thought this would be the best year. Now it's the other way around. If she knew this school year was going to be this crazy, she would have convinced her parents to make her go to school in Canada or something.
"Yeah. It is." The bell ringed and Michael and Zoey parted ways. As Zoey walked the halls to her class, she felt someone watching her. She turned around and saw Zac glaring at her. She quickly turned around and rushed to class.

"How was school?" May's mother Julia asked when May walked inside the kitchen. May felt the smell of apple pie and her stomach growled.
"I'm hungry." May said and she took a seat next to her mom. She wasn't in the mood to see anyone's faces so she skipped lunch and she saw Logan Reese and Quinn Pensky holding hands today. That shocked her since she thought Zoey and Logan were the power couple.
"Are you reuniting with old friends?" Julia asked. She put a plate of Apple pie in front of May and. May suppress the urge to bite it.
"No. I rather be by myself." May wasn't in no mood to make friends. She just wanted to be by herself and not think about anyone else.
"Come on May. High School is all about making friends and having the time of your life. I don't want you to be a loner. Your brother Cody is making many new friends. " Julia said but May just rolled her eyes as she stand up and went to her room.
No one understands her. Not her mom, not her twin brother, no one. She hated it here. All the memories of hanging out with Nicole, being bullied by Nicole and her alcoholism was rushing back to her. She'd do anything to get a glass of alcohol and she haven't been thinking about that for a long time.

"I'm home!" Dana shouted when she reached home. She just came from Dylan's house and the memory of the two of them cuddling together as they watch a horror movie played in Dana's mind.
"Your mom called." Jade said when Dana walked inside the kitchen. Jade was eating a salad and was rubbing her growing stomach.
"She did?" Dana asked.
"She's coming back to California. She told me that she wants you to move in with her." Jade said with a hint of an attitude. Dana didn't know why Jade was jealous of her mom when she was sleeping with her dad when her parents were married.
"Okay." Dana said mumbling. She didn't know what else to say. She and her dad gotten closer but that didn't mean she wanted to live with him forever especially once the unborn baby is born.
"Are you thinking about moving in with your mom?" Jade asked noisily. Dana opened the fridge and got a bottle of water.
"I don't know. Maybe." Dana admitted and took a long swallow of her water. Can she go back to Dylan's place again?
"Your dad will be hurt." Jade warned.
"I know but he has a baby on the way. I doubt he will mind." With that Dana went to her room ignoring Jade's stare. Once inside her room, she dropped on her bed thinking of the sweet smell of Dylan and how it felt to be inside his strong arms.

"Need anything else? A glass of water?" Logan asked. Quinn tried hard not to say something snarky.
"I'm fine Logan. I really am."Quinn said in a impatient tone. Can Logan stop treating her like a baby?!
"I gotta get going but call me if you need anything." Logan quickly kissed Quinn on the lips and walked out the house. Quinn touched her lips. After all those short weeks of dating, the couple finally had their first kiss and it was quick and perfect. Ugh! Quinn really was having conflicted feelings about Logan. One minute she liked him, the next he was ugh!
Quinn felt at relaxed at having the house to herself. Her dad was at work and was not coming anytime soon. She turned on the tv and smiled when she saw her favourite tv show was playing. Little did she know someone was watching her every move near the windows.

Ana was pacing up in down in her room with a phone in her hand.
"Pick up Callie. Pick up." Ana muttered.
"You finally called huh?" Vince's voice rang out.
"Vince, where the hell is Callie?!" Ana demanded in a panicky tone. Vince let out a dark laugh.
"That bitch used me. You know I'm coming after you next." Vince said.
"You can't! The police are looking for you and Callie. As soon as you set foot here, your ass will be thrown in jail." Ana smiled at how strong she sounded even through she didn't feel to strong. She was scared for her life and Callie's too. Vince was quiet for a long while.
"Hello?" Ana asked.
"You better watch out. You ruined my life and I'm coming for you bitch. I go down, you go down with me." Vince hanged up and Ana screamed as she throw her phone across the room. She then started crying. Scared for her life.
