Chapter 11;
"I got the moves like Jagger, I got the moooves like Jagger." Musa belted out in her room, letting all of her frustrations on into singing her music. Normally she would never sing this bad, but today was the exception.
She threw herself onto her bed and glaced over her window. She was dancing and singing around her room, looking like a complete idiot and the whole time Riven was sitting in his room, glancing over at her with a small smile tugging at the corner of her lips. She sighed and sat on her bed, avoiding the window. She wanted to smile and wave and invite him over, but sadly things were not that easy. Or at least she wasn't going to make them that easy.
Over on her nightstand, her dinosaur flashlight that belonged to Riven and it sat unused for the last week. She would occasionally pick it up and twirl it around her fingers and toss it in the air but she never turned to her window and used it at night.
Speaking of Riven, Musa remembered the video Mitzi brought over earlier in the day. She had been so occupied that she forgot to watch it. She picked it up off of her bed and placed it into the dvd player.
At first the screen was black, then it turned into color. For how foggy the party was and how crappy the lighting was with the strobe lights, you could see everyone perfectly. They were grinding and dancing on the dance floor. Chugging alcohol and some people should not sing karoke, Musa noted to herself. "So this is what we all look like when we are on the dancefloor. I hope I dance better than that." Musa said outloud to nobody.
The view went from being focused around everyone to focused on somebody she all knew well. Riven was dancing on the dance floor, griding with some blonde. Why would Mitzi give her this? She frowned and instead of turning it off like she should have, she continued on watching.
The blonde looked at Riven and was snaking around him, rubbing his hands all over the blondes body and she couldn't keep her eyes off of him nor his abs. She was tracing his finger down his stomach when Musa rolled her eyes in disgust. What was this anyways? How could Riven be such a pig.
"So I heard your little spat earlier with that girl." The blond said, pulling Riven in closer to her. When Riven didn't respond, she continued on, "Well she is one stupid girl and if you ask me, you have feelings for her."
Riven scoffed looking at the blond haired girl with deep blue eyes, they reminded him of the lost sea that he felt like he was floating in. "I don't have feelings for her. She is just some girl who thinks that I shouldn't party and be with gorgeous girls like you, but then she hooks up with my best friend."
The blond continued on dancing with Riven, leading him closer towards the upstairs. "I don't believe you." She purred into his ear.
He grinned, "And why is that?"
"Because, you wouldn't have freaked out on her if you didn't like her." The blond pressed her body closer to his, stepping on the edges of his toes. Women did that to him a lot.
He shook his head slightly back and forth, "Well I don't like her. In matter of a fact, I don't care what happens to her. I mean if she wants to get hurt by Brandon who has an interest in her best friend, then so be it. I have watched her hook up with guys long enough, that I am no longer her keeper. I can't even keep track anymore."
An eager smile approached the girl's face, "Good point, but how do I know that you are lying to me?"
Riven laughed slightly, "Because I wouldn't be all over you if I liked her."
She shook her head in a coyly way and made sure she looked sexy. "Well, I still have my doubts, but prove me wrong." She pushed her finger to his chest and Riven grinned, wrapping his arms around her body, quickly leaning in for a kiss.
Musa's eyes widened and she gasped. "I do not hook up with guys nor did I hook up with your best friend you ass hole."
Musa turned off of the television before she saw them go into the bedroom alone. She didn't want to watch them have sex and all of that porno crap. She marched over to the window and flickered on the flashlight gathering Riven's attention. Riven glanced up and smiled, waving his left hand a little. Musa flicked her middle finger in the air at him and closed her window blinds.
Tears stung in her eyes and she didn't even know why.

Stella sighed in relief as Mitzi left and she came out behind the couch. She laid back down, stretching out her body on the couch. "What did she want?" Stella leaned up for another kiss.
He shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know. She gave me this video and told me to watch it. It is from the party or something I guess." Andy smirked and leaned closer to Stella and came in for another kiss. He was ready for more, just like the other night. Despite having a girlfriend, he was enjoying the hookups with Stella, it made him feel free as a bird.
Kissing Bloom was different compared to kissing Stella. Bloom was fragile, like he was holding onto a glass ornament that he couldn't break. Stella was wild and dangerous. She drove him crazy with her every touch and she liked to be in control.
He dug himself a deep hole and he they both did, together. "Well lets watch this video and we can finish what we started afterwards." Stella grinned, licking her lips and rested her hand on top of his shoulder.
He put the disk into it. While he was watching the video, he was thinking about afterwards with Stella. It wasn't until then that the he saw Bloom on the dance floor and she never left the party like she had claimed the next day. Instead she was dancing with a guy in a prince costume. To his surprise, she was all over him and she led him upstairs.
"What the fuck is she doing." Andy growled, slamming the remote down onto the table. That was his girlfriend going upstairs with another male. She opened the door and closed, not before locking it.
He didn't even need to know what happened next but then the video camera came on that. He heard Bloom and the guy talking, neither one taking off of ther masks. He knew it was Bloom, just by her bright red hair and he piercing blue eyes that stuck out of her mask.
Halfway into the disk, he shut the television off, kicking the reclining chair next to it. He had never felt this angry in his life. She had cheated on him. He knew he was being hypocritical but she was cheating on him. And she didn't even bother to mention that.
Stella's eyes widened and she suddenly felt guilty for not telling Andy that she knew Bloom had been with another guy. "Andy." Stella rested her hand on top of his shoulder and she tried relaxing his body.
He shook her hand off and turned to look at her, with fury raging in his eyes, "I am just fucking like her. I cheated on her and didn't even think twice how she would feel once she found out."
After a few seconds, Stella took a step back. "And she is going to hate me, I know she is. Oh my gosh, if I have one of these then I am assuming so does Bloom and she is going to know that we have been hooking up." Andy was starting to freak out, his pulse was racing. Instead of going off again, he grabbed Stella's hand and held onto it as if it was the last thing he was ever going to hold.
Stella sighed, she didn't know what to do. He was right and he was going to be incredibly mad once he found out that she knew about Bloom cheating on him with another man. She actually prevented him finding her, so he wouldn't get hurt. And either way he was was going to get hurt and so was Bloom.
Before either of them said anything else, the front door flung open. Bloom was standing in the room, her eyes filled with blury tears. She looked like she had cried the whole way to his house.
"You." She screamed and looked at Stella and felt complete anger. "You cheated on me, you freaking cheated on me... how could you." She cried out. The tears stung in the corners of her eyes.
Stella scoffed slightly, typical Bloom. Always trying to make everything seem like everyone else's fault. Andy instantly became angry all over again. He whipped his head in Bloom's direction, "Me cheat, actually you cheated on me too, so don't put the blame in my face. I hope he was good."
Bloom felt her heart stop, he knew about that? She should have known. "You are just as bad as I am."
Andy shrugged his shoulders, "Yeah well at least I didn't lie to you wear I was at the party. I actually went, just like you did. I didn't say I didn't leave because my parents had stuff for me to do. How many other times have you told me this before?
"Never except that night." Bloom admitted the truth.
"Yeah right." Andy gripped Stella's hand harder.
Bloom looked at Stella, "You are suppose to be my friend. What happened to that?"
Stella sighed rolling her eyes, "It happened Bloom. I'm not gonna deny that it didn't, but you cheated on him before he cheated on you. I kept him from going upstairs to see you and that guy 'make love' because I didn't want him hurt. You don't deserve him and you never will."
Andy looked at Stella and dropped her hand. "You knew?"
Stella sighed, "Andy I didn't know. I didn't know what they were doing and I thought Bloom had a good head on her shoulder and wouldn't do that. Apparently she proved me wrong. I kept you from finding her and getting the wrong impression, just in case that wasn't what they were doing. And I didn't know it was true until I overheard you and Musa in her kitchen."
Bloom glared at Stella, "That was a private conversation. I would never listen on that."
Stella refused the urge to roll her eyes. Her friend was making it hard for her to show some smypathy towards her defense. "This is all of your fault." Bloom narrowed her eyes at Stella.
"How is it my fault that you cheated on him first. You left him for some other guy you didn't even know."
"Because if you were my real friend you wouldn't have let me go upstairs with another man, let alone hang around my boyfriend's place after you guys hooked up with him." Bloom held the tears in that stung the corner's of her eyes.
Andy sighed, dropping his hands to the ground. Stella could see the hurt in his eyes and written expression all over his face. "Bloom, I am your ex boyfriend now. Now I think it is time for you to leave. Please."
She threw her hands in the air, the tears were now streaming down her face. "Fine. Stella, you are no longer my friend." Without another word she headed for the door but not before looking back to give Andy a sad look. She watched him take Stella's hand and pull him into a hug. She never felt her heart drop more in her life.

"Come on, get up." Brandon nudged Musa's side. She groaned, refusing to get up out of bed. This time instead of it just being Brandon, Sky was waiting at the door patiently.
"Go away." Musa grumbled, wiping her eyes. What time was it? How long was she asleep anyways?
Sky stepped through the doorway, "Come on Musa get up. You need some Vitamin D, and no Sunny D isn't going to be the solution. Get your ass up out of this bed before we make you." He gave a toothy grin, "Or I'll make you."
Musa sat up, glaring at both boys who were smiling at her with a bright smile.
"Forget you guys." Without another word she punched Brandon in the arm and kicked him in the shin. "Owe what is that for?" Brandon grabbed his leg in pain while glaring at the petite girl.
She grinned, "That is for bringing Sky here to help you get me out of bed." She stood on her tipitoes and pecked him the cheek, "And that is for everything else."

Life for Techna seemed to be moving really fast. She had been spending more time with Timmy than she had her friends. Even though they were staying at Riven's house for the summer, they really didn't hang out with each other anymore. Not after the aftermath of the party. Timmy exclaimed that Riven was always in a scary, crazy mood. He was moodier than a girl.
They were standing in an ice cream parlor, waiting for the line to go down. "So what do you like to eat?" He asked, raising his eyebrows.
"Anything really. I like all sorts of ice cream. Each type is different." She blushed looking at the ground. She wasn't use to the pressure of having a guy around. Always wanting to impress them and doing her makeup and hair. This was how Musa and Stella had to feel, always grasping the attention of the males around them.
"Well here lets do this. How about I pick out a flavor for you and you do the same for mine." He sounded confident in what he was doing.
Techna nodded and gave a hard blush when he reached for her hand and held it in his. He looked at her and whispered something in her ear.

Flora was really into Helia. They shared a lot in common, espeically their love for the outdoors, Norse Mythology and even midwestern art. They never an out of things to talk about.
They were lying out in the woods, on a picnik blanket staring up at the stars together. It was nice that they didn't have a mess of drama unlike all of her other friends. She was sick of hearing about it from Musa, Bloom, and Stella. It was to the point she didn't even like being around them anymore.
Helia reached over and grabbed her hand. "So what is your favorite movie?"
She blushed, "This is going to sound incredibly stupid but I love Fern Gully."
"With the bat right?" He smiled, fidgiting with his fingers.
She nodded, "You?"
"Sherlock Holmes my dear Watson."
Flora giggled, gripping onto his hand tighter. "You're favorite food?"
"Steak. And yours beautiful?" He brought her hand up to his face and kissed it, letting her know that everything would be okay. He wasn't stupid, he could tell she was a sweet, caring girl who cared about her friends. He could read inbetween the lines and he knew that she was worried about them and the problem just was not going to go away.
Her cheeks felt warm and she grinned, "Alfredo."

Layla was rocking out to Just Dance 3 on her wii with Nabu. They had been playing for two hours already and they were both tired. She wasn't tired of dancing, she could never get tired of dancing. She was tired of all of the bullshit drama that was consuming her friends' lives. How hard was it to make up and get along?
Nabu stopped, placing his hands onto of his head. "Woo, I am tired. If only you weren't losing."
Layla rolled her eyes, but bit her lip grinning at him. "I am so winning. Hush, don't lie."
He took a step forward to her, "Oh please, I don't have to lie. I am just that good. I am beating a Julliard student in dancing. How does that make you feel."
Instead of saying anything, Layla playfully pushed him and he tripped over the rug and crashed into the ground, but not without bringing Layla with him. She fell ontop of him and together the two filled the room with laughter.
