Please excuse I typos I have in both this chapter and the previous.
I regret to admit I am a very lazy editor.

Anyways here is the next chapter. I intend for this series to be rather long
So don't think that everything (including couples) are forever set in stone.
Plus I still have many more characters and plot/Victor stuff in that I need to get into in the following chapters.

Hope you enjoy this chapter and please leave any comments you'd like. Good, bad, ideas, ect.
I'm always up for some healthy criticism~

School. Afternoon.

Amber hadn't noticed Victor staring out his office window whilst they made their way downstairs. Like Nina her mind was else where. Not in a super mall, David Beckham, or even online dress shopping, but somewhere Amber's mind rarely visited, a place where she actually thought seriously about things. Sure Amber has a very cute and clueless exterior, but she too had those moments where she was lost in her thoughts.

There was a difference of what Nina and Amber were thinking though. Or really, it all comes down to what they remembered of the night before. Amber tried to block it out by the time they had reached their English classroom but as soon as she saw him, her face went red and she took the seat farthest away from this boy who she was shamed to look at. Her prom date's best friend. How could she? All Amber felt was regret, but within that every time she remembered last night her hard would skip and tiny leap of joy.

"Amber, Nina, finally decided to grace us with your presence have you?" Ms. Andrews said, not looking up from the papers she was grading until both Nina and Amber were in their seats.

"I-I'm sorry Ms. Andrews, we just had a long night with Prom and everything." Nina stuttered, she didn't have a very good excuse. On top of that she guessed Ms. Andrews didn't have the best night either considering the whole cup incident that she no doubt spent hours and hours awake and restless for.

"No excuse. The rest of your classmates were here right on time. One more tardy and I'll be forced to give you both detentions. Now you know what is to be done, get to work, both of you."

Amber opened to the page specified on the board and started reading. Or what looked like reading at least. Really she was just scanning the pages with her eyes and looking at the pictures if there were any. "Wait...Amber Millington is actually reading? What a eventful day this is!" She heard a familiar voice loudly from across the room. Jerome she thought and her faced flushed once again. It was rather out of the ordinary, usually Amber would just twist her hair or stand her book up in front of her so she could text without the teacher seeing.

"Quiet Jerome, before you to get a step closer to a weekend detention." Ms. Andrews snapped.

Jerome just gave a crooked smile and looked over at Amber. She felt his eyes on her, hot and unyielding and she was forced to push her hair from the back of her ears out to cover her raging red face. What is he DOINGThe girl thought. Jerome was sitting right next to Alfie, so why would he even risk looking at her? There was the slight chance that he didn't remember last night like Nina, but she hardly thought so. Amber caught her saving grace when the bell rang through the school. With a sigh she gathered her things and scurried out of the classroom before anyone even had a chance to.

"Amber, are you all right? You're acting a bit...strange" She heard Mara say as she stopped at her locker to see if Amber was alright. Mara and Amber hardly talked as much as they used to before the whole Mick incident, but she felt they were slowly starting to become friends again. Besides Amber and Alfie were together now weren't they? Amber seemed happy enough last night, so she figured they would end up being a thing. Of course there was something Mara didn't know, and Amber hoped no body else did either. Hopefully everyone was having too much fun to even notice Amber's absence from the prom for those few minutes she was gone.

"Yeah, of course. You know me, I like to get out of there as fast as I can." Amber said truthfully. She didn't like classes and really just enjoyed school for the fact that she got to hang out with friends and scope out hot guys.

"Well...alright then. So, you and Alfie, huh?" Mara said with a little enthusiastic smile and hop. No one really thought this couple would ever happen but were proven wrong last night, when it actually happened.

Amber felt herself tense for a moment just hearing his name. She felt terrible about what happened with Jerome, and just wished she could forget about it. "Oh...um...I know I hardly thought it would EVER happen but you know, he is so funny isn't he?" Amber said her voice a little higher at first but she managed to pull her normal personality in for the rest. She hoped Mara wouldn't noticed, but by the smile Mara still kept on her face she doubted she did.

That is when Alfie snuck up behind Amber, making her let out a squeal and jump. "ALFIE! Don't ever do that again, you scared me!" She said genuinely startled. Amber was one who got scared awfully easily, which she didn't really understand on account for that she had seen much more scarier things in her time in the Sibuna sub.

"Sorry, I just couldn't control myself. You call to me like… like...meatballs call to spaghetti." Alfie said and turned to stand beside Amber.

"That was...beautiful Alife." Mara said sarcastically seeing that it was her time to leave. "Anyways, I'm going to go find Mick. See you later Amber."

Alfie gave Amber a quick peck on the cheek when she left. Amber blushed a little pink at it, he was really very sweet, though Amber didn't think she deserved it. "I've got to go too, me and Jerome are planning this huge prank and I've got to go raid the cafeteria for mayonnaise, sporks and dish water. See you later babe!" He said and was off down the hall.

Amber smiled slightly and walked outside to get some fresh air. Usually the students weren't allowed outside when school was in session but Amber just liked to come out here sometimes to compare her beauty to that of the garden's flowers. Of course, today it was for a different reason. "Ugh, if I get ANY more stressed out about this I'll be getting wrinkles and I can'tget wrinkles, I just can't." Amber said to herself as she took a seat on one of the steps. No one else was out her except for her, so she had the whole place to herself.

That is at least before she heard the doors open and someone walk out. Thinking it was a teacher she jumped out and turned around, her hair blowing in a wisp after her. "I'm sorry I was just-" but she cut herself off when she saw who it was. Jerome.

...

Nina was almost to her next class before she spotted Fabian a little ways away talking to Mick. A second later he left with Mara and Fabian just stood alone by his locker, gathering his things for the next class. Nina contemplated whether to go over to him and decided that now would be as good a time as any and walked over to him, her school books held tight to her chest.

Fabian caught site of her and by the look in his eyes Nina could tell he was nervous. But why? "Hey Fabian, I was just thinking, about last night..." Nina started to say, completely ready to ask him what the kiss meant and if they were actually going out now but instead for a response she got something she really didn't suspect.

"I'm sorry Nina, I got carried away last night, I took advantage of you and I'm so sorry. I wouldn't blame you if you hated me." Fabian blurted out leaving Nina a little wide-eyed.

What happened last night? She thought, her mind completely blank of everything after the king and queen dance and their kiss. But did the night really end there?
