[Noelle Adae Blanchard]

Noelle walked down the halls, in her natural, confident strut. It was the second week of school and Noelle decided that she would put that dreadful party behind her. All was a daze to her, she barely remembered it. Except for the Della and Sebs thing, The Jesse thing (shudder) And the fact that Cayden slept with her. Noelle blushed to herself. Not in that way, She told herself. But it was nice. Hopefully she didn't say or do anything stupid. She entered her first block of the day and excitement surged through her as she remembered that her and Cayden had the first block together. She took her seat in her usual spot and put her leather top handle Coach legacy purse on the desk.

Cayden plodded through the halls, a bit tired from all of the craziness that had happened over the weekend. Not only was there that stupid, dreadful, pitiful excuse for a party, but then he had somehow been convinced that staying in Noelle's room to keep her company was a good idea. A part of him had been happy for that though, he wasn't ready to go and be alone in his dorm room, worrying about Della and Sebastien and Noelle and Jesse and everyone who had been hurt or confused at the party on Friday night. Pushing open the door to his science classroom, Cayden walked in, spotting Noelle at her desk already and smiling. Sitting in the empty desk beside her, he grinned, poking her side playfully. "Hey, you." He said, "How was your weekend?"

[Noelle Adae Blanchard]

Noelle looked up from her cellphone as Cayden poked her and swatted his hand away, giggling.

"Well besides the whole incident at the party, my weekend was good..."

She said, smiling. It was true, she had decided to put the past behind her. Plus, Cayden made her feel much better and friday night ended pretty well actually.

"Nursing this massive hang over I had, but other than that, great."

She said, laughing. She looked back down at her cellphone and turned it on vibrate, plopping it back into her purse.

"How was yours?"

[Della Mariette Caine]

"Thats good then." Cayden replied, nodding his head as she mentioned the party. A strained expression appeared on his face momentarily as he thought about it, and then he shook his head. It was best to put any memories of that night out of his head for a while, it would do no good to dwell on what had happened.

He laughed as she mentioned her hang over, shaking his head. "Well that sucks, doesn't it? I had the same problem." He admitted, chuckling softly under his breath. as she asked how his weekend had been, his smile fell, and he shook his head. "Not the best. Della wouldn't leave her room, so I stayed in with her after leaving your room on Saturday." He bit his lip, sighing. "She's a complete wreck." He admitted, shaking his head sadly. "I wish I could have done something to prevent all of this, it's horrible."

[Noelle Adae Blanchard]

Noelle felt symphatic towards Cayden and sighed.

"She wouldn't leave even to eat. Steffy and I had to bring her her food or else she would have starved. She didn't want to talk about it and neither did my brother."

She said, shaking her head. She just didn't understand why Sebastien had to be so stupid and not tell Della sooner. and She just didn't understand why Della would kiss Derrik of all people.

"Nothing could have prevented it."

She said, looking at Cayden.

"I just hope everything turns out for the best."

[Della Mariette Caine]

"I know, she's a stubborn little girl when she wants to be." He said, shaking his head. How had she managed to screw all of it up that badly. "Maybe we can force them to talk.." He suggested, before shaking her head. "Nah, that might just cause trouble."

"I just wish she hadn't tried to make him jealous with Derrick, that's just gross." He said, with a soft attempt at a laugh. "Poor girl, must have been way out of it. That was so out of character for her." He admitted, shaking his head again. "I still can't believe it all happened only two days ago.."

"They better end up talking at some point though, it isn't right for them to lose their friendship over this." He said, a frown on his face as he thought about it. Poor Della, she had been so looking forward to the party so she could talk to Sebastien about everything, and then it had all backfired.

[Noelle Adae Blanchard]

"Oh god, Della is a smart girl but kissing Derrik? not so much."

She said, smiling slightly.

"I hope so too."

She said, biting her bottom lip.

"But knowing then both they'll kiss and make up."

She said smiling, and then realized what she had said.

"Well.. not erm actual kissing, it's an expression."

Noelle bit her bottom lip and blushed but then burst out laughing.

Carter strolled in, laptop in case, slung over his arm, laughing like a fool. "NOELLE!" He yelled, laughing. "How's life?" He asked, his eyes twinkling like the stars.

[Noelle Adae Blanchard]

Noelle looked up to see Carter strolling in. She smiled at him.

"Hey, C. Good, how about you?"

[carter]

"Good N. I've been relaxing since the party." He said, his eyes smiling, his grin widening impishly. He thought back to after the party. He had gone home, and spent a little time on FB, changing his status to SHOCKED! and then editing his relationship status to say: Taken. That would show Noelle. He returned to the present and smiled. "So, life is good, just a little tired. Been up with insomnia the last few nights" He smiled.

[Della Mariette Caine]

Cayden laughed along with Noelle, shaking his head at her choice of words. "Well, I doubt they'll be doing any kissing anytime soon, not after Friday. I'll be surprised if they even speak to each other for weeks." He stated, shaking his head and then laughing quietly again. He grinned as Carter walked into the classroom, waving to him and then kicking back to relax as Noelle and Carter started talking. He was glad they had managed to get past the little outbursts from last week, and hoped the same would end up happening with the situation between his sister and Sebastien.
