Tuesday 16th November… Chloe’s birthday is very soon.

Today Chloe handed out invitations to her classmates, her party being on Thursday 18th of November in one of the Hill family’s mansions.
Stacy and Jessica having helped her plan out her party, her parents having little to no impact on the planning.
Though there was one “condition” that might sound odd, but is completely normal for people like them; rich/powerful people.
The condition being: Charlotte has to be invited. Which is important as she has a lot of impact on the power balance of people in Farlong/her dad.
Being aware of people’s values and the opportunities they may present is extremely important to these kind of people and other opportunists in general.
Different from the state wide impact that Charlotte’s birthday had, where any and all who could show up did.
In this party only those invited will be there, not like there will be few people, but it will definitely not be as “grand” as Charlotte’s.
Chloe has invited probably more than a hundred people to her party: all the popular groups of the freshman and many people that she just has met and gets along with.
Selina has also agreed to throw people in the fountain if they mess with Chloe, which pleases Chloe a lot.
Chloe does not care about the party being “successful”, she only cares about if she can have fun with people and she considers Selina dishing out justice fun.

Jessica enters the classroom looking very confused and absentminded, sitting down quietly in her seat with a thousand yard stare.
Minutes go by and she actually stays quiet, she does not seems to be faking it; she actually seems to be thinking of far away things.
Selina, Stacy, Chloe and Ashley communicate with their hand motions, not sure what to do; is she actually going through something, or is she pretending as a drama queen?
Chad enters the classroom together with Nyarai and notices the strange scene of Jessica being absentminded and her friends grouped up and observing her.
After Chad greets Charlotte and David and leaves Nyarai over with Selina, he walks over to Jessica and sits down in front of her… and she does not react.

(Chad:)”Jessica.” Jessica mumbles something, but does not seem to come back to the plane of the living. (Chad:)”Jessica.” Chad continues smiling as he calls out to her.
Jessica seems to wake up, looking confusedly at Chad who smiles at her and her surroundings. (Jessica:)”What?” (Chad:)”Jessica~” Chad continues.
Jessica looks very confused by why Chad is calling out to her when he has already gotten her attention. (Jessica:)”What, why are you calling me?”
Chad, about to continue stops himself. (Chad:)”You were completely out of it and I might have been having fun calling for your spirit from the other side…”
Jessica frowns at Chad. (Jessica:)”I am not dead.” (Chad:)”Correct, just brain dead.” Jessica glares at Chad who is enjoying messing with her.
Jessica mumbles something about:”Why don’t you just marry me?” And Chad looks very confused at her. (Chad:)”Marry you?” Having heard what she mumbled with his super hearing.
And Jessica suddenly eyes open wide, staring at Chad in shock. (Jessica:)”Um- Ah- I- My brain is very stupid right now, drank too much and-“
(Chad:)”But you don’t drink?” Jessica goes quiet for a second before continuing to make excuses. (Jessica:)”I did not sleep last night.” But somehow blushes from her own excuse.
Chad looks super interested suddenly. (Chad:)”Did not sleep. Marriage huh?” Chad has an evil mischievous smile and Jessica is panicking internally.

Suddenly Selina and the group crowds around them. (Chloe:)”What about marriage? Are you making a move on Chad?” She asks accusingly.
Jessica freezes and mumbles, before calming down a little. (Jessica:)”No, I was just very sleepy and confused.” (Chad:)”What was that about “marry me”?”
The group looks accusingly at Jessica who glares at Chad. (Jessica:)”That was an accident, I was thinking about some…one…else…”
Her brain seems to malfunction as she continues the sentence. (Chad:)”Thought so, but don’t go losing sleep thanks to some dude; take care of your health, physical and mental.”
He cautions her before leaving with a smile, Jessica nods mechanically as the rest of the group looks in shock at Jessica who mumbles. (Jessica:)”Damn, I want Chad.”
(Ashley:)”You slept with someone?” (Selina:)”Was it the super confusing dude you mentioned before?” (Chloe:)”You actually like that dude after all.”
Jessica stare at her friends perplexed. (Stacy:)”We could have told you that you liked him a long time ago, no need to think too hard about it.”
(Jessica:)”But… I don’t?” (Ashley:)”More importantly, did you sleep with him?” (Jessica:)”NO. And I think Chad might be better to aim for than… the dude… maybe.”
(Chloe:)”Take the dude that you love and let me have Chad.” (Ashley:)”Hey what about me, I also want Chad.” Selina is having a mental breakdown from her friends liking those two…
Could they just not talk about those two loud enough for them to hear, not like they could possibly whisper quietly enough for those two to not hear from kilometers away…
(Stacy:)”Jessica, don’t be stupid. Aim for love if you can.” (Jessica:)”That is… but he is so confusing and I… don’t love him?”
The group looks at Jessica before Nyarai comes to the rescue. (Nyarai:)”Thinking about someone a lot and being confused by them does not equal being in love.
That is just interest, but interest might develop into love. Don’t push her into thinking that it is love, she might lose sense of her own feelings and believe you.”
The gang reluctantly accepts this and Jessica nods feeling saved by the cute Nyarai; so she stretches out her hand and pulls Nyarai in for a hug, Nyarai will sooth here heart.
