So I had some fun here (: OH, and by the way to LivesInStars: IM is instant messaging so like MSN or Google Talk (is it called that?) and it's just a system kind of like email except a lot faster and everything's live. I decided to do what Permanently said in terms of italic-ing (:

Drake Merwin wakes up groggily. He wipes his eyes with the back of his hand, grabs a shirt and pants from his closet, and makes his way to his (and Caine's) washroom. Pulls off his shirt and fills up his cup with tap water and begins brushing, eyes still glazed over—until he looks up into the mirror.

His lips are painted red and his cheekbones have some sort of… sparkly powder sprinkled across them. And his whole torso area has been graffiti-ed with eyeliner.

Property of Caine Soren!

Yes copyrights CaineSoren

In cooperation with LexCaro Inc.

Somewhere around the belly button, Lex's thick liner pencil had drawn a creepy eye, while Caine's hazy liquid liner (wonder where he got it from, anyways) had doodled a crude Hannah Montana with buck teeth and afro-ish hair.

Oh, my God. "!"

The whole boys' dorm awakens to Drake's roar.

"Did you like my pretty drawing?" Lex bumps Drake as she catches up to him on the way to English. Drake glowers at her. "Not amused."

"Caine wanted to make you sparkly like Edward Cullen."

"You're so funny. I had to scrub my body with eye makeup remover for fifteen minutes to get all that gunk off."

"You do agree though, don't you?" Lex smiles as sweetly as she can without cracking up. "I own your one-pack. That sad, sad one pack."

"It's pre-ab!"

"No, pre-abs are kind of… two-packs. You're just flat."

"If I get a six pack, you shut up."

"Deal."

Coates is covered in a sheet of white snow now, being December and all. There's a banner stretched across the main hall reading 'HAVE A GREAT WINTER BREAK!' Ah, yes, Winter Break. It begins next week and all students who choose to (or if their parents insist) get to visit home for two weeks. Lex is going to live with Dave and Paige after Paige insisting that Lex spend her holidays with them. Drake, however, is staying at Coates with a handful of other students.

Lex grins inconspicuously: of everything Drake washed off, he forgot his lips. As they walk into class, everyone erupts into laughter. "Drake, did you play with your mama's lipstick?"

Drake glowers and sends a calculator flying at the boy who said that before storming across the room and taking a seat. He wipes at his mouth furiously and tries to hide the bright red spreading across his face.

"You're so cute sometimes." Lex smirks dryly—becoming more and more like Diana, Drake notes—and hands him a tissue. "Where are you going for Winter Break?"

As soon as Jane starts talking, Drake responds in hushed tones. "I'm staying here."

"Aw, how come?"

"It's awkward moving back into my neighborhood, even for two weeks."

Lex taps her desk, drumming her fingers on an imaginary piano. "Hey, you could stay with me and Dave and Paige."

"Dave and Paige?"

"My dad and stepmother."

Drake raises an eyebrow. "Naw. I thought you hated living with them?"

"Pft, they're okay. I just hate being there and, you know, I'm kind of an outsider? Especially since Paige's kid is coming back for the break too. Some Laiken kid, pre-university. More happy family with me stuffed in the picture."

"Want me to trash your dad's winter break?" A wide smile spreads across his face an a hint of mania that hasn't been there in so long returns.

"The only reason for a boyfriend. Obviously."

Next time: Winter Break with the family (dundundun) Dad meets Drake, Lex meets stepbrother, stepmother meets Drake, stepmother hates Drake, CHRISTMAS
