4 hours later...

It was now 9:00. Nina, patricia and amber woke up and felt different. Like something was missing. Not on the outside, but on the inside. It felt awkward. Amber felt weird like half of her personality was gone. Patricia felt awkward as well. For some reason she couldn't yell at amber or be sarcastic and bitchy to nina. Dana felt like being nice for once, and wasn't up for biting Logan's head off whenever he wanted a make-out session. She was the first to get out of bed.

"Amber, nina. Get up," patricia said, sleepily.

"What's up?" nina asked as she rubbed her eyes. amber began to stir and woke up too, and rubbed her eyes as well.

"Morning."

"We have an hour to meet the guys for breakfast," patricia simply stated. It surprised her that no sarcastic remark followed.

Immediately, nina and amber hopped out of bed. patricia, amber and nina all brushed their teeth and showered. Amber was sure something was up because she went to bed and woke up almost a different person. She finished blow-drying her hair and she was how picking an outfit to wear. For some reason, she felt like going all white today. Yeah, she'd go all white. nina, too, finished showering. She had a hunch of burning inside of her. Why did she feel this way? Was it ever going to fixed? Why did nina feel there was a bad presence? She slightly cringed. Today, she felt like wearing all shades of blue. patricia woke up unusually was quiet cheery and as someone had taken her essence away. She was quiet all morning and didn't threaten to kill/maim amber in any way. This new revelation was starting to freak her out and patricia decided she'd go black today. She still loved the colours black and red. They put on their make-up and lip-gloss and they were ready to go. The girls assembled by the full-length mirror for a final check.

As they were leaving to meet fabian, jerome, and alfie, the girls couldn't help but let their minds wander.

nina's outfit consisted of a baby blue top with a big yellow face smiley face on it. She had a denim skirt and for footwear, nina put on flip-flops, blue ones, of course. For accessories, she had a sapphire necklace and baby blue hooped earrings. amber wore a white tank top that said 'Angel' in glittery silver letters and wore silver mini skirt which sparkled when the sunlight hit it at the right angle. She wore silver hoops in her hoops in her ears. amber finished the ensemble with a pair of white sandals. patricia had a black top that said 'I Like To Make Them Cry' in red letters and wore black caprices. They had a silver chain hanging on the side of the belt loop, and she put on the belt clip that fit perfectly in the front. The word 'SEXY' was in capital letters and shined. jerome would have a fit. So would fabian and alfie. Mascara, eyeliner, and some strawberry-flavoured lip gloss completed their mirror check and they were out the door. nina broke the silence after walking in silence for a while.

nina said kind of worried, "You guys realize it's been quiet all morning?"

"Yeah, I'm scared. patricia hasn't yelled at me or tried to hurt me. Even when I tried to use my blow dryer, she didn't hurt me. ninna! I'm scared!"

"For once, I'll agree. I'm surprisingly cheery and I haven't yelled once and it's scaring me too."

nina came to the conclusion that something was terribly wrong. "Ok, something's up. Let's go find the guys."

fabian, alfie and jerome got up an hour earlier and got dressed and were already waiting for the girls to show up. fabian felt like something had been sucked out of him. Why did he feel like there was something hovering around him? He stared and sighed as his hands glowed green. For a brief moment. jerome felt different. Like he didn't feel like getting on everyone's nerves. He saw two hot girls walk up to him. They fawned over him as usual but he didn't flirt back. It's like he didn't want to but he just didn't feel like flirting (A/N: there's a reason...in the next chapter). alfie didn't feel like eating potato chips and they tasted weird to him. fabian felt like wearing earthy tones. He had a green shirt, khaki shorts and green and white K-Swiss shoes. jerome felt in a reddish mood so he wore a black shirt. Over the black shirt, he wore a red shirt with flames along the bottom. He had black washed jeans. He accessorized with a belt clip on the front of his pants, just like patricia's, only his belt clip was personalized and his name 'JEROME' in shiny letters too. jerome finished his ensemble with red and black Air Jordans. alfie felt sporty, so he wore an L.A Lakers jersey. Number 8. Kobe O'Bryant's number and also wore blue baggy jeans. For shoes, he had white and gold Air Forces.

"Dude, I feel like something is missing. Something on the inside," fabian sighed, trying to comprehend every thing that happened the night before.

"I've lost my ability to flirt. What will happen if I can't flirt?" jerome asked, his voice volume getting louder with every syllable.

"The world will end, man. Without out your flirting, the world will be sucked into an eternal hell," alfie replied, with sarcasm.

"Very funny. In fact, it's so funny, I forgot to laugh."

Fabian laughed at the two friends about to argue and then processed everything that had gone on in the last couple hours, "alfie, jerome's right."

alfie looked at fabian like he was crazy, "Dude, what are you talking about?"

Jerome sneered, "What? Can't handle me being right now?"

fabian rolled his eyes and explained, paying no attention to the comment jerome had just made, "alf, he's right for once. He hasn't gotten on my nerves or flirted. And there were two of them! I feel a bit off myself and don't your potato chips taste weird to you?"

"Yeah, man. It's as if half of me is gone," alfie agreed, after pausing to think.

"Me too," fabian agreed, nodding

"Yeah, same here," jerome sighed.

There was silent until three figures caught fabia's eye. Oh, it was just the girls… wait, what? fabian had to do a double take just to see if it was really them.

"Holy freaking God…" fabian muttered. His jaw dropped.

alfie and jerome stood up and wondered why fabian stopped in mid-sentence. They also turned and soon all three were in a trance-like state. nina and her friends glowed as they walked. They were sexier than usual, and their hips swayed as they walked.

Ok, breathe in, breathe out. Just breathe, rutter. Oh, God. nina's hotter than usual. All I have to do is breathe and I won't pass out. Okay, rutter. Relax.

Jerome smirked, eyeing patricia up and down, hungrily. I hit the jackpot! Patricia williamson is sexy and soon she'll be mine. All mine. Just play it cool, clarke.

amber...she's so shiny. She's...beautiful. Please God, I know I don't go to church every Sunday, but please make amber like me back.

nina, amber and patricia walked up to the boys and fabian, alfie and jerome snapped out of their euphoric trances. They all said their 'hi's' and 'what's up's' and soon they were eating breakfast together. They sat in the following order: fabian, Jerome, alfie, nina, patricia and amber. amber happily ate her salad and it was eerily quiet. amber decided to say something because it wasn't in her nature to be quiet, although today she was eerily silent.

"You guys. I'm scared. I haven't said a word all morning. patricia hasn't tried to hit me and she's all happy. nina has been all quiet-like...being all un-nina-like," amber chirped up, as her voice cut through the quad.

patricia nodded, "She's right for once. I haven't hurt amber and I haven't made one sarcastic remark to nina." This day is even more messed up than I thought. Since when do I agree with amber for anything?

"Yeah, patricia has been so nice…and it's creepy. amber's right, though. I woke up and I didn't feel myself," said nina with a sigh. "You realize it'll take us a while to get used to these powers, right?"

"Yeah, but I'm not complaining… controlling fire's pretty nice," jerome answered, with a small smirk. "…but seriously, you woke up this morning and felt off?"

"Yeah, the same thing happened to us. Like something was pulled away from us."

It was quiet until alfie spoke up. He hadn't realized how quiet it was, until now. On a usual day, there were students walking around and doing their own thing? Why was this morning different?

"Umm, I have two questions. One, have you noticed the cafeteria and the rest of school is a ghost town? Two, why hasn't jerome asked patricia to make out with him?"

"Oh my God. He's right. There's no one here," gasped nina.

"And jerome has been bearable," fabian added. What is going on?

"I know, I should be asking patricia to make out with me but something's wrong."

"I should've kicked your ass by now," muttered patricia, more to herself. I swear if I find out who did this, they'll wish they were never born.

"See, this is totally whacked out right now!" alfie yelled, exasperated. He was annoyed by this time. All he wanted to do was hang out in his dorm, eating potato chips and beating jerome at Halo 2… only because he knew he could.

"Ohmigosh, what do we do because I don't like being scared and I like being happy and right now, I'm not happy. Being freaked out is so—" amber would've kept going but was cut off by patricia's hand being clamped over her mouth.

"It's too early for this, seriously…"

patricia removed her hand for amber's mouth. When amber was about to speak, she was cut off by alfie, who gave her a re-assuring smile so she wasn't mad.

"amber, relax."

Nicole nodded and smiled back… praying to God she wasn't blushing like a tomato at that moment.

"Ok, listen up guys…and girls. Half of ourselves is missing. nina and I feel kinda off. jerome can't be a playboy. alfie's taste buds react weirdly to potato chips because usually he can't be separated from them. amber can't be as talkative and usual and patricia can't be dark and evil as usual," fabian explained, but was slightly by the glare patricia was giving him. "…which is a normal thing for us."

"Good save, fabian," she replied with a small smirk and lazily draped an arm around him. fabiam didn't mind because they were really cool friends. patricia sighed, turning to her blonde roommate. "nina, what do you suggest we do then?"

"I think we—" and she trailed off, as nina felt something unexplainable surge through her body.

Just then, fabian and nina both zoned out. nina's body glowed blue, while fabian's glowed green. Pictures of Austin, eddie, mick, willow, mara and kt flooded their heads. They saw them each holding a ball, all glowing black…dripping with blood? What were they for? They know had their culprit but where were are they hiding? Both nina and fabian were then sucked back to reality, and both were red-faced and breathing heavily. Alfie, Jerome, patricia and amber were confused.

fabian and nina turned to face each other before meeting alfie, logan, patricia and amber's confused stares.

"Did you see what I saw, nins?" fabian asked, as a look of pure confusion dawned on him.

nina nodded yes, and looked at fabian with worried eyes, "Yeah, how did that happen?"

"I have no idea. What were the balls for? They were all black and were glowing…and I think they were bloody."

"Yeah, I'm kinda scared," replied nina with a slight nod of her head.

"Dude, why did you and nina space out like that?" alfie asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Well, start talking because this day is boring without patricia and me always bickering," said jerome in a bored tone. It was better if he just slept this whole thing off.

"I can't believe I'm saying this," patricia sighed. "I agree."

nina sighed and came to a shocking conclusion, "fabian and I know why we've been feeling strangely all morning."

"why?" asked alfie wanting to know so he knew who he had to kill.

"the people are mick, mara, willow, kt, Austin and eddie." Said fabian but he said Austin and eddie with more hate then the rest and he should because they all hate Austin for what he did to nina and they hate eddie just as much because of what he did to patricia, yes patricia told them, well more like Jerome told them because patricia was still hugging him and crying.

After fabian said that patricia started to shake and she looked on the Verge of tears, amber got really scared, alfie got a little mad, nina went into the same state as patricia, and fabian and Jerome got full out angry.

'that dick i wil never forgive him for what he did to patricia, she didn't deserve it.' Jerome thought getting even angrier if that was even possible.

'when i find them i wil kill them. I can't believe i ever went out with KT she is just a bitch.' Thought fabian.

"ok we need to find them." Said alfie, he was one of the only ones that was a bit calm.

"no need to babe." Came a voice behind themand that voice belonged to alfies ex willow.

She came out of the shadows along with mara, KT, mick, eddie and Austin. On sight of them the girls moved closer to the guys closest to them, so nina went to fabian, amber to alfie and patricia to Jerome and all the guys put their arms around the girls.

"what do you want?" amber asked.

"well babe we just want our girl or boyfriend back." Said mick.

"that will never happen, not after what you did to us, we'd rather die." Said patricia after a sudden surge of courage but she was still in jerome's arms.

"that can be arranged." Said mara who has hated patricia for ages.

"calm down mara if our plan goes without a problem you can have your revenge." Said KT.

"now on with the plan, Austin the gas." Said eddie with an evil glint in his eyes.

"yep now night-night." Said Austin as he sprayed them with gas
