(Sorry for the absence! I am horrible at posting during the school year!)


Alyson
Listening to the guys talking about sneaking out, Alyson sort of went off into her own little world. A week ago, Aly would have been all up for sneaking out and going to a party, and was even dressed for doing so. However, after leaving a party and going home to find her house in flames, the blonde was not sure if she could mentally handle it at the moment. Maybe once she was settled in and not at war with her roommates she could enjoy sneaking out, but now right now. Maybe one day she could even talk Zach into going with her, although it didn't really seem like Zach was the big party type of guy.

As bad as it may be, Zach kind of made her happy about what happened, because she was glad she had met him. And Lucas wasn't too bad. Lucas was actually the type of guy her old self would have gone for immediately, with his good looks and his devious plans about sneaking out and partying. Perhaps that was why she was drawn to him; he was who she would have gone for, yet she liked who she was when she was with Zach, because she didn't have to try to be anything and could just relax and be herself for the first real time in her life.

"I think I'm going to go walk around. Is there any place I should probably avoid?" Aly asked. She needed to think. The girl hadn't been alone one second since she had been dumped here, and so much had happened. With losing everything she owned and her family, then the not so lovely greeting she had received here, she wanted to be alone for now; she was just not sure where that possibly could be since this place seemed to be swarming with kids, and not all of them so friendly either. After Lucas replied, Aly went off wandering around, checking out the place and trying to sort out her thoughts and compartmentalize everything so her emotions didn't get the best of her and give Blake even more reason to put her down.


Jane

Jane was bored. The preppy blonde was off talking to Lucas and Christian, who hadn't showed his face in quite some time, so she was off limits for the moments, and Blake was busy with another new arrival. Another new arrival. Today was just an interesting day! It seemed Blake was reeling in the newest member to their house, and the other one seemed to be taken with the other side. Things were settling down for the day though, and it just seemed that that just wouldn't do.

Since everyone outside was busy and preoccupied, Jane decided to go inside and find Zach to see what other trouble she could cause with the boy. Her mind was working on what to say when she spotted the kind, yet naive, boy eating with some other kids. "Hey Zach. I wanted to apologize for what happened earlier, with the bi....the blonde. I went to apologize to her when I heard her talking to Lucas and Christian, remember him? Well they were talking about sneaking out to a party, but your little friend said she wanted to stay here with you since she was trying to get with you. Now, she didn't say it outright, but I'm pretty sure she just wanted a hook up. I mean, look at the way she looks. No one that innocent would dress in that dress and heels. Just thought I would warn you since there were never really any hard feelings between us. You're a good guy Zach, don't let her break your heart." Jane stood up after that, giving a friendly smile, hoping that would make him push the blonde witch away a little bit so she would really be on her own.
