The Next Day

Dave was writing a note to Alli, he tried to make it funny but sincere, he went through 4 pieces of paper, (since he and KC had a eraser fight, he was eraser-less.) He finally finished the note and it seemed that it was the best he could do. He folded it and looked around for the teacher, he was still facing the whiteboard writing an equation out on the board, Alli sat two seats in front of him, all that was separating them was a new kid, who was drawing instead of paying attention. Dave sat up and leaned towards and looked over the new kids shoulder, this kid was weird, he was drawing dogs with dragon wings and stick figures with capes. Dave sighed out loud and whispered in his ear

"Can you pass this to the girl in front of you please?" he asked trying to keep his voice low.

"Awww how cute, can i read it?" asked Max.

"What? No... it's personal." said Dave getting a little irritated.

"Fine, Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey..." said Max trying to get Alli's attention.

"HEY ! GIRL. IN THE PINK JACKET. TURN AROUND!"

Alli turned around sharply and glared at Max.

"What?" she said loud enough for him to here but not to loud that the teacher turned around.

"Hey this is a personal note for you" said Max trying to be secretive about the note.

"Who's it from?" she asked grabbing the note out of his hand, almost knocking Max's drawings to the floor.

Max turned around and gave Dave a wink "It's from my brotha."

Dave sighed out loud and glared at Max, he was about to correct Max and tell him they were not "brotha's"

Alli quickly opened the note and turned around to read it, she had thought it was from the oldest Russo. She began blushing and couldn't stop smiling. Clare looked at Alli,

"Whats with the big grin?"

"This note is from that one guy at the Dot, its so funny and sincere, omg he totally wants to be my boyfriend, omg!" Alli said kind of loud.

"GIRL'S CAN WE PUT THE SILLY NOTES AWAY AND PAY ATTENTION, THE QUIZ IS NEXT TUESDAY!" growled the teacher turning around to face Clare and Alli.

Alli gave him a look and put the note in her lap, she put her head down on the desk and continued reading the note over and over again.

It was lunch time and Harper and Alex were watching Zeke practice for the power squad in the gym. Alex kept throwing fries at Zeke when he wasn't looking and drinking from Harper's soda, they were all generally having a good time, They had mainly been neglecting school work, surprisingly even Justin was neglecting it, He was too busy keeping tabs on what his family was doing to be doing school work, and for once he felt somewhat less stressed.

Zeke had attempted his 7th Hurkey and decided to wash up before his next class, Harper and Alex waited for him in the gym finishing their lunch.

A girl wearing dark toned clothes and a nose ring came into the gym.

"Hey did you guys happen to see a girl kinda tall carrying a clipboard interviewing people? she's the grapevine blogger?" the girl asked.

"No we haven't sorry" said Alex continuing to drink Harper's drink.

"but if we do we will tell you, if we see you again." said Harper being polite.

"thanks! by the way the name's Jane, you guys new here?" she asked.

"yeah, we came from... a different town" said Harper trying not to give anything away.

"yeah its a really small town, not even on the map! So yeah, wait... wait... I've seen you before you were at the Dot." said Alex standing up to get a better look at Jane.

"Yeah my boyfriend works there, hes the tall one." said Jane smiling.

"Oh i work there too! Me and my Fiancee!" said Harper getting excited.

Alex gave Harper a look, and just shook her head.

"That's awesome! we all need to hang out, maybe at the battle of the bands next weekend?" asked Jane, wanting to make the newcomers feel welcome.

"That would be nice, yeah you know if you need us were more then likely going to be at The Dot so you can contact us there, but if you excuse us we are going to go find OUR brothers and you know check up on them. okay? talk to you soon!" said Alex grabbing Harper's hand and running out the gym door.

"Alex? what's wrong?" asked Harper when they finally stopped running once they had reached the gate blocking the football field.

"You should help me find Peter and the band and convince them to sign up for the battle of the bands!" said Alex excitedly.

Harper was going to try and talk Alex out of it, she had never performed in front of a huge audience, and she didn't want to see her friend hurt. but again it was nice seeing Alex happy once again, so she agreed to help and the two of them continued back to the school to look for the guys.

Zeke walked into the boys locker room and danced to his locker, humming out loud to himself. Riley had finished putting on his cleats and locked his locker. He heard the humming and decided to see what it is, it was really weird to hear someone humming in the boys locker room, now yelling would have been normal, but humming? Maybe he was being paranoid but he didn't like being alone with some one he didn't know in the locker room. He walked over to the noise, and saw a guy taking his Power Squad shirt off and taking a v neck shirt out of his locker. Riley had never seen this kid before, but he was certainly attracted to him though. this kid had a soft looking face, and really had a nice body. Riley tried to walk away before the guy noticed him, but he couldn't walk away, Zeke had no idea he was being watched, He continued changing his clothes and humming out loud. Riley was thinking of introducing himself, but he couldn't find his voice. He admired for a while, he wanted to at least ask what this kid's name was, but that was even too hard for him.

Suddenly a loud banging of a door being slammed into the wall was heard, making Zeke and Riley jump. Riley quickly walked over to his locker again, and a couple of the football players walked in, talking about how practice was going to be hard, because the grass was still wet. Riley picked up his backpack and ran out the door, he tried to see the kid again but he was gone.

Zeke walked out into the gym, he was expecting to see Alex and Harper waiting for him, but they were gone. He quickly walked out of the gym, he had a feeling Alex was plotting to play a prank on him, and did not feel like getting pranked, he was in too good of a mood. The power squad was going to be the best part of this dream.

Justin had been getting ready for his shift at The Dot, Spinner was in the back getting more coffee filters, as Justin kneeled down to tie his shoes, a girl walked up to the register, she was humming to herself as she looked at the menu. Justin stood up and instantly lost his voice. It was the girl he saw at the drama room, on the first day of being at the school. He tried to gather up his composure but knew he looked like a dork. Fiona was staring at his eyes, they were amazing to her. She quickly gathered herself and ordered two latte's.
Justin nodded and stuttered out the price. Fiona gave him a twenty and told him to keep the change and she sat down at a table facing the register she wanted to watch him from afar until Holly J came. Justin felt stupid as he began making the latte's.

"She ordered two... either she's really thirsty and in need of energy, or she has a boyfriend... who makes her pay for the drinks. I shouldn't even bother, were going to leave any day now, heck maybe any minute now. I have to keep my head focused, the main concern is to make sure everyone's safe, make sure that things can go back to normal once we get back home. " Justin thought to himself, he was so caught up in his thoughts he hadn't realized he was overflowing one of the latte's, it was going all over the floor. By the time he noticed it was too late to clean it up, Spinner had saw the whole thing. Spinner threw a mop at Justin and together they cleaned up the mess. Fiona giggled to herself as she watched Justin mess up the order, it was cute the way he was clumsy. Holly J. walked into the Dot and sat down next to Fiona, with her pink laptop in hand. The two girls began discussing school activities. By the time Justin had finished cleaning and finished getting the order right, he looked over at Fiona and saw the president girl sitting next to her. His heart skipped a beat, so she didn't have a boyfriend, maybe he had a chance? No matter what Justin told himself he could not stop thinking of this girl, he didn't even know her name and yet she was all he could think of. And for a brief second as he served their latte's and stared into her eyes one more time, he didn't want to go back to New York, he wanted to stay in this place with her.

Football practice had ended and all the guys were in the locker room changing. Riley walked past the kid from the power squads locker again hoping to see him one more time, but he wasn't there. Riley then slumped over to his locker to change into his regular shoes again, Fitz had run up on top of a bench and began shouting at the top of his lungs,

"FOOTBALL CAMPOUT TRIP IN THE WOODS THIS FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY BRING AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU WANT, CAMPING SUPPLIES, AND BOOZE, BUT NO HOMOS OR JOYKILLS ALLOWED." he said and then started giving all the guys high fives.

Riley finished putting his stuff back into his locker, and grinning, maybe if he found the confidence to talk to that kid he could invite him to the campout and they could get closer.

It had only been an hour and word about the camping trip had gone to everyone in school. Almost everyone was planning to go. As Alex and Harper walked over to The Dot so Harper could start her shift, they talked about the camping trip and battle of the bands. The camping trip seemed lame but it would still be interesting to go, and Alex still hadn't found any of the guys from the band to discuss Battle of the Bands. Harper went to the back room to get her uniform, and Alex walked up the stairs to their temporary house, the door was jammed, so she backed up and kicked the door as hard as she could. Her foot started aching terribly, and she yelled in agony, but at least the door opened. She hopped on her good foot into the room, and almost ran out of the room, if she wasn't so stunned. Inside she saw Peter with his head down on a plate, he turned around to face her when the door opened, and he had white powder coming from his nose. Peter quickly stood up and shut the door and helped Alex inside. She didn't want to go near the powder, she knew it was drugs. Peter wouldn't let her leave, he got on his kneed and begged her to stay, he was tired of being alone, he kept whining about needing help. Alex looked into his eyes. she knew she could help him, he needed her, and in a way she needed him too.
