Glory POV

I am soooo sorry for not being smart and putting Glory in the summary, but here goes.

Glory (Gloria) Sadie Cheyenne is her full name. I will be doing on and off POV switches, so it'll be Juli sometimes and Glory some other times. Oh, and btw, it's not just Candy and Nathaniel, its Candy (Juliet) and Nathaniel and Lysander and Castiel and Armin and Alexy and Amber and my other Candy(Glory). Oh, and btw again, my friendable MyCandyLove candy girl account is candycat1102, in case you fangirls of MyCandyLove out there want to make any friends. Candycat1102 is Juliet. So, I will begin to weave the complicated story again... (In present tense from now on)

Glory POV

Hmph. That girl ought to watch where she's going. And plus, I had to apologize! Oh, what the world's like these days...she totally deserved that step on the foot.

I toss my long blond hair imperiously and stomp into the courtyard. Who cared about Language Arts? Besides, I already had passing grades-what was one missed class gonna do to me? To heck with Nathaniel and absentee notes!

Hm. Weird. No Castiel. Oddly, Castiel rarely doesn't miss classes. So I'm confused now. I walk slowly and cautiously over to the bench, and as I trip over a tree root, it hits me.

Language arts was going to be interrupted halfway by that field trip assignment thingy about inhabitants of the forest. And drat, I'm going to miss it. Unless I sprint...come on girl, where is the speed that got ya those records in gym track and field? I skid to a halt at the buses just as Mr. Walker calls my name. "Gloria Cheyenne?"

"Here!" I pant. He looks severely at me from over his glasses.

"Miss Cheyenne, after this school trip, we're going to have a chat in class. Oh, and, detention for missing your seventh language arts class over this school year." I roll my eyes as Castiel smirks at me.

He continues down the ordered-by-grade list. I'm always one of the first because of my high grades. Huh, detention. "Juliet Windsor?" Mr. Walker reads impatiently.

"Here," came the reply. Ah. So that's her name. That red-head I bumped into this morning. Juliet...ooh, this could make for some gossip.

Someone's humming. The new girl. Heh, heh. It's Heart Attack by Demi Lovato. Ugh. Me, I prefer rock, like Castiel. Unlike Castiel, I hate smoking and alcohol. I'm a lot like Kim. Castiel calls us the Not-Twin Twins. She is my best friend.

But there I go, off babbling on some tangent. Anywho, I walk into the bus among the throng of other irritated Sweet Amoris freshmen. To my distaste, I find myself shunted sideways into a seat with that girl Juliet. Great.

She tentatively smiles. "Um, hi! You're the girl I bumped into, right? I like your name. It's Gloria, right?"

I scowl. "Two points, new girl. Firstly, I go by Glory. And secondly, I'm not your buddy. I barely know you, plus you smashed right into me this morning."

She looks crestfallen for a moment, and mutters something about making a good first impression. I snort and glare out the window.

Half an hour later, we trudge out to find ourselves in a forest. Mr. Walker and Ms. Nakamura hand out maps and sheets of instructions. "Students, you'll be following the instructions to find inhabitants of the forest. This is like a scavenger hunt, so you'll have partners." Mr. Walker dictates in a loud voice. Ms. Nakamura promptly begins to pair us together.

"Gloria Cheyenne and Juliet Windsor," I hear, to my utmost dismay. We apprehensively take a map and walk into the forest. Just my luck. Then I feel a tap on my shoulder. It's Castiel. The lucky duck, he's gotten his best friend.

"Hey, Glory. If we work together, we'll get this stupid thing done a lot faster." I personally agreed, but I shot a look at Lysander and Juliet just to see their reaction. Lysander is staring off into space, heterochromatic eyes unfocused and distant. Okay. Typical Lysander. Juliet looks much the same way, but I can tell it's an act. Her face has the tinge of a blush to it. Hm? Crush alert! I wonder which guy? Personally, I am crushing slightly on Castiel.

The day goes by in a blur. I remember that Castiel tripped over a rock and swore in like, 20 languages I never heard before. Alexy and Rosalya were fighting over who found the most stuff. Pointless arguments, but that's them for you. They've been fighting since 5th grade.

Aaaand my detention at the hands of the Sith Lord Mr. Walker. My mom was off at work, but since my dad caught a fever, he took the day off, and signed my absentee note. I'll turn the blasted thing in tomorrow.

Armin calls, asking if anyone's seen his notebook. I think that maybe Amber took it, but who knows? And I might let off on Juliet and allow her to become my tentative friend. Anything's possible in Sweet Amoris.

Aaand cut! So, PLEASE review! Thank you IfYouLovedMe for being a great somewhat-of-an-editor, and thank you all who reviewed and followed/favorited. I look forward to posting at least 20 chapters. But this is just the beginning. I'll focus on making these scenes a bit longer with more dialogue, but in the beginning, there's not a whole lot of drama in this one. But who says there won't be drama later on? 'cackles evilly'
