"If love is the answer, could you rephrase the question?" ~Lily Tomlin

Have you never seen the movies? When a guy and a girl get together to study, they rarely study. At least, that was the case for Devon and Keala... You may be asking, doesn't Devon have a girlfriend? Yes. Yes he does. And it didn't begin as a romantic encounter...

Keala sat, brows forrowed, staring at the coffee table. Sheets of paper were spread across the room with letters and symbols and numbers intermixed.

"What the hell is this extra 9y squared?? Agh! Just sell it! Go away!"

"Did you consider the prime factor has three terms?"
"Yes. I don't know. The nine y just ruins the whole thing!"

Juicy. Summer calculus homework. To tell the truth, nothing romantic happened then. It was as the two were sitting on the porch after hours of head-numbing calculations that Dev leaned in and kissed Keala. Woah! He said good bye and walked home, waving of course. And she sat there, cheeks magenta, and smiled. Ahhh, young love. Well, you know, except for poor Lorettia. Word on the street? She was dumped.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's true- Lorettia and Dev are offically through. Lorettia's reaction? She's pissed. Really steaming mad. As the story goes, Lorettia visited a nearby bar. Witnesses say tears were streaming down her face and she was wearing sweat pants and a ripped UofO tee. Perched atoop a barstool she ordered a Cosmo. As it happens, she didn't have one sip of her drink. Something had caught her eye. That something was tall, lean, and attractive with light brown hair and a winning smile. As fate would have it, this mystery man plopped down right next to Lorettia.

"And who might you be?" Lorettia questioned, batting her eyelids.

"I'm Berke. Pleased to meet you.."

"Lorettia."

"Lorettia. What a pretty name. It's unique."

"Are you hitting me?"

"Um, no, my apologizies. See I'm blindly in love for a girl who doesn't love me."

"Oh. Yeah, that's pretty much the story of my life. Except not, you know, with a girl. Not that I don't, uh, support that but I just meant-"

"It's cool. I get it."

"He just dumped me. For some chick named Keala. Jesus Christ."

"Superstar. Haha. Wait, did you say Keala?"

"Yeah. my boyfriend Dev just left for some younger indian friend of his! Keala!"

"She's the..."

"OMG you can't be serious. You're in love with that Keala?!" Berke nodded.

"Man. You must be hurting too. Want to head over to my place? Grab a real drink?"

"Yeah... Yeah, sure, I'd love to."

You get the idea XD

And so a realationship was born out of revenge and jelousy. Will both of the new love birds find what they're looking for? Or is someone bound to get their heart trampled on? Only time will tell.

Bursts of orange color flashed in the window as Hunter and Dani... were together. Within a few minutes a thick smoke filled the damp Oregon air.

"What the hell is going on?" Dani wondered. She stopped to look out the apartment window. What she saw was a building on fire, with flames hungrily engulfing the rest of the neighboring complex. She unlocked the window and soon screams of children came pouring in.

"Hunter, we have to do something! There's no firemen! We need to help; call the police!"

"Hold on babe, I gotta take a dump."

"What?!"

"I gotta poo. Maybe later."

"Ya know, I'm sick of all your shit. It seems like the only way to get rid of all your crap is to lock you in the bathroom. You're bowel movements aren't the only thing that need to go. I'm outta here."

"Are you breaking up with me?"

"Consider yourself dumped."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Break-ups are sad, but Andy didn't seem particularly bothered when she heard the news. In fact, Hunter didn't seem as devasted as most after a long relationship. He ended up texting the whole night away with Andy. Hmmm... no comment.

Oh by the way, its human nature for people to develop feelings for other people. On that note, Erika has officially moved on to Burt. And Jay likes Andy. Dang. Okay, well you didn't hear it from me! ;)

I guess it's true that manatees are da bomb!! Hayley kissed a manatee, and it turned into a prince, and they lived happily ever after in their billion dollar masion off the coast of Florida. Cha-Ching!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 <3

------------------------------------------

Then later, Amanda ate a bad fig, that put her under a spell. Only her worst enemy's kiss could wake her. So Austin bullied Voldemort into kissing amanda. Amanda woke up and promptly vomited those nasty voldemort cooties up. Then Voldemort killed Austin and Amanda. But it's ok, because Hayley killed Voldemort and used the Ressurrection Stone and her new manatee powers to revive Amanda. Sorry Austin. :(

Later that very same day, Arlene was walking down the street with Sophia and Stefani, when this massive

THEN. ARLENE ATE POOP. I'M YOUR BOOGYMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHH STALKEREEEE!!!!!!!!

Love, Hayley

P.S PEACE OUT PEEPS

“Trying to make someone fall in love with you is about as pointless as trying to control who you fall in love with.”

Perhaps it was a bold move. Perhaps actions were misinterpreted as flirting. Perhaps something inside the mind said, “This is the only way.” But there was something in the minds of Berke and Kailey that urged them to pursuer their dreams of love.
It was a Friday afternoon just like any other. You should know things are never as they seem… Berke stood watching as Keala strode out of the performance arts building. He had just preformed the monologue of a lifetime and his aconfidence was high. Nonetheless, his nerves swarmed uncontrollably in the pit of stomach as Keala approached, her face alight and smiling.
“Hello Keala,” Berke greeted, his mouth turning upwards into a crooked grin.
“Hey Berke.”
“I was hoping to talk to you. Do you think-” he broke off to gesture towards the buildings back.
“Sure,” she smiled and followed Berke around until they were in private. “What’s up?”
“I… I really like you.” He took a deep breath and searched her face for a reaction. She turned her face downwards and her cheeks turned a rosy pink. She searched for words but came up empty-handed; she was speechless.
Who knows what was going through Berke’s mind then? Whether or not he had planned it, it happened.
“It’s okay.” His hands lifted up from his sides. In one swift movement, he cupped Keala’s face and kissed her…
As their lips parted, Keala broke away. “I have to go,” she stammered. And she was off.

~~~~~~

Well, word gets around. Berke gets to face the cold truth of rejection. Of Keala that is. Because Kailey is still plenty interested. Sure he turned her down. Over. And over. But Kailey’s friend is a worker of romance and she thinks Kailey and Berke would be cute together. She made all the arrangements and finally Berke agreed- the three of them would come over to his house for dinner. Of course, being the person she is, Kailey’s friend was sure to give the two plenty of alone time. (And at one point she even fell asleep! At 7 o’clock on his couch! But that’s beside the point; the point is that Kailey and Berke had plenty of alone time.)
“Told you I’d win!” Kailey was all smiles as her Mario Kart crossed the finish line seconds before Berke’s.
“You got lucky.”
“Me, lucky? Only if, maybe…” Berke just stared back until what Keala had felt earlier flew right back in his face. Kailey leaned in, closed her eyes, and planted her lips…
And there was nowhere for Berke to flee. Plan B?
“Hm. I’ll, uh, be back. I have to go the bathroom.”
Hahahahaha. Love bites. But hey, its not me!
