Lucas Azevedo's Story

Donna had awoken early that morning, she yawned careful not not to wake up Arielle before slipping into their bathroom. She slipped into the shower going through her morning ritual of her body was, body scrub, facial cleanser, facial scrub, and facial moisturizer. She usually washed her hair every other day since it was so thick and she didn't want it to break off but she used her luxury vanilla scented conditioner every day. She came out thoroughly refreshed before beginning to brush out her luscious, thick, glossy brown hair. She then straightened it until it was pin straight and ended just above her back dimples. She came out the bathroom in her lacy under garments before spraying her signature custom made scent of honey suckle, which she made at a perfumery in Paris, into the air and stepping into letting it gently cover her whole body without it being over bearing. She then walked over to her mirror and applied a bit of light makeup that only made her seem a little dewy.

She glanced around the room. She added a bit of things. She up a collage of mirrors on one small wall of the room as well as a collage of her friends. She also hung up a big photo of her and Arielle that took up half a width of wall space and was placed in the middle of the wall. The picture was from the top of the wall to the bottom. She also had pictures of herself on her trips. hung up on the wall.


She walked over to the closet and picked out an outfit. Since she and Arielle practically wore the same size tops and shoes they out their clothes all together in the closet, wardrobe, and dresser.. Plus it was easy to tell their bottoms apart with Donna's shapely toned legs and Arielle's petite size. She picked out a classy yet sexy
outfit and put it on. She walked over to one of the dozens of mirrors in their room, this one a full length and checked herself out. The simple silk tank hugged her nicely sized chest well, the blazer fit snug and accentuated her tanned skin, and the lace shorts showed off her shapely toned legs; Everything was perfect.

She sneakily leaned over Arielle and purred "Wake up doll," Before skipping out of the room slamming the door on her way out. She walked over to the quad where the coffee stand where the coffee stand was was and Brazilian roast back coffee, that she begged her dad to stock the school up with as a surprise for Lucas when he mentioned it once, for Lucas. She headed to the cafeteria then and bought A diet coke for Arielle and a regular coke for Ashton. She also bought herself a strawberry smoothie. She also bought one of each of the twelve pastries. She quickly went back in the room and set the diet coke and a pastry on the nightstandalong with a note that said "Love you doll, going to the boy's room. Meet me there.-Bee" before heading to Ashton and Lucas's room. She had her own key and was about to open the door when she was interrupted.

A girl came out of her room, a girl clad in a pink blazer and a pink and brown plaid skirt who had bleached blonde hair and dark tanned skin. A girl Donna knew as Crystal, daughter of a widowed gold digger who married a millionaire when she was twenty one and he was seventy. "O.M.G Donna, hey!" She squealed prancing up to Donna in the summer Jimmy Choo's. She glanced at Donna's which were the early release Winter Jimmy Choo line "How.Did. You. Get. Those?!" She girl screeched. Donna resisted the urge to cover her gold hoop clad ears with her french manicured hand. "Oh I have my ways," Donna said coyly. The girl covered her hear, well more like her implant filled chest with her own crystal and plastic rose manicured hand. "I so envy you," The girl said pouting her baby pink lips. She blew Donna a kiss before retreating in her dorm making Donna roll her eyes.

Donna opened the door to Ashton and Lucas's room and set the drinks and pastries on a table. She walked over to their window and opened the curtains and blinds before commanding "Wake up!" She said sitting down in one of the chairs and crossing her legs " I brought breakfast." She said in a sing-song voice sweetly. She pulled out her phone and texted Jennifer.


She focused back on the boys and pointed her finger across the hall "What's up with barbie girl over there. This is a exclusive dorm for a reason. There's nothing classy about.." She rolled her eyes "That. She should be in Persephone." She tilted her head "No worries,I'll fix that later." She said with a coy smile. Donna's sophomore year, when Donna wasn't Queen and was dating a rebel who graduated her Junior year, Crystal decided to sleep with him. Information she found out over the summer when one of Crystals ex friends told her at a party. She was thinking of the right way to punish her and here it was. She bit into a chocolate pastry as she plotted in her head.

Belladonna looked up as Arielle sat on the desk next to her, "Hey gorgeous," She said with a delicate wave. Arielle looked around before saying "Hey, Luke. Where's Jenny?" Belladonna raised an eyebrow "I told her to come," She said flipping her hair over her shoulder "I mean I'm not mad though because it's not her fault she's not in this dorm. I mean it sucks but there's nothing any of us can do about it." She said with a sympathetic shrug, and though it wasn't totally true it wasn't a lie either. "But we can't wait all day for her." She noticed Ashton peek up with interest. She glanced at Arielle and pursed her lips before plastering her gorgeous white smile.

She was about to mention Crystal as Ashton kissed her cheek. "Thanks babe," He said with a smile. She blew him a kiss before saying "No problem babe," She glanced at him taking in his shirtless body and licking her lips. She glanced at his pants "Your not going to wear those right?" She asked gently biting her lips. She mentally scolded herself for messing up her lip gloss before applying a more durable red lip stick. She twirled her hair in her fingers as Ashton began to talk.

"So, I was thinking we should throw a back to school type of rager. At my beachside house. My parents live in San francisco at the moment, so we won't have to worry about them, and my brother can hook us up with any anything else we need. I mean, if we want we could even wait and have it be an 'after homecoming' party?" he said adding the last part.

Donna pondered this for a moment "Hmmm," She said tapping her long manicured nail against her plump lips "I like it," She said widening her eyes and smiling. She stood up and walked over to the window "Ok so I know this is crazy and something we never do but let's open it for everyone." She said raising an eyebrow.

She perched herself on Ashton's lap "I know its crazy but what better way do we assert ourselves as the best than to let them see us at our best." She glanced around the room at her friends "We are the best, why not show it?" She ran her hands through Ashton's hair as she said "Plus hazel and her friends would be pretty awesome to party with." She then thought of Carter, Jenny's roommate and scowled. "We'll even let Jenny's new best friend come," She said narrowing her eyes before smiling again.

Blake laughed at the scene in front of him, watching Marcus swing Carter around like a sack of potatoes. Placing students gave them funny looks at their goofing around and when Carter looked at him with big silver puppy eyes he could help himself. He grabbed her from off Marcus's shoulder and put her on him own. Then he gave her a hard slap on her behind making her squeak. As they placed Ashton's room Blake wondered if he should invite to come along for breakfast, he was on Blake's lacrosse team and wasn't a bad guy. Blake knocked on Ashton's door which wasn't closed all the way so it opened on its on relieving Donna and her friends. Blake adjusted Carter on his shoulder as she muttered quite protests.
"Hey Ashton, Lucas i was just wondering if you wanted to go get some breakfast but i can now see you have company, good morning Donna, Arielle i'm guessing you had a pleasant sleep last night cause you both look gorgeous this morning like always" Blake winked playfully at the girls. He had no romantic interest int hem and they knew it, everyone did. Blake was just a flirty, playful guy who liked to tease.

Jen liked to sleep in as much as she could, and she made a mental note that her roommate was careful not to wake her. The girl had already left before she'd woken up, so Jen got ready by herself and took her time. She was in the shower when Belladonna had first texted, so she didn't know she was supposed to be heading to the boy's room yet. She blow dried her hair, did her makeup, and got dressed at a relatively average pace. She doesn't rush perfection, is what she likes to say. She put on something casual, but still nice with a hint of girly. She had a lace top, with high waisted white shorts and a brown belt. Her naturally wavy hair fell just before her ribs. She stood before a full length mirror, checking herself out before she left. She liked her outfit, and thought it looked nice on her.
As for her roommate, she decided Carter wasn't so bad. At first she was weary of meeting her, mostly because Belladonna had a distaste for the girl. Jen was cautious in meeting her, but decided for herself that she seemed nice enough. She was sad to find the athletic girl didn't like many girly things as Jenny did, but found they got along anyway. She didn't see them being best friends anytime soon, but she was glad she'd gotten her over a lot of girls she could've roomed with. Already Carter had won points for not interrupting Jen's beauty sleep.
It was then that Jenny's phone buzzed, and she realized she had four text messages. One from her mom, that read something like have fun at school, love mom and dad. She responded something back along the lines of thanks love you too.
Her next text was from Belladonna. "Morning biatch!Get your ass to Lucas and Ashton's room if you want a pastry."
She had a mini panicking feeling, and she quickly grabbed her shoulder bag and sunglasses, heading out the door. She slipped the shades on and began to walk towards Benner Hall. Basically Jen was a puppy to Donna, following her around and craving for some sort of attention. She wanted the queen to like her and to be pleased, and she basically did whatever she was told. That wasn't to say Jennifer was afraid of Belladonna, she just worshiped her in a small sense. Jen was her own person, she just knew how to kiss up where it'd get her far. Donna was the key to becoming queen.
She texted Donna back then, "On my way over, see you soon! Save me a pastry.(:"
She continued walking as she opened the next text, which was from Lucas. "Good morning beautiful. Meet us in our dorm. Love, Luke."
She read it and couldn't help but feel herself smile like an idiot. Any text from Luke usually gave her butterflies in her stomach. She quickly responded back, "Morning to you too handsome. I'll see you soon. <3 Love, Jen."
The last text though, gave her a sinking feeling as she read the name. Ashton had texted her. He hadn't tried talking to her in over a month, and she thought maybe things would go as if they were strangers. But to her dismay, he'd asked her how her summer had been. Instead of replying she slipped her phone into her bag and entered the dorm. She walked down the hall to their room, where Blake already stood in the doorway with Carter on his shoulder. She smiled slightly confused at Carter, as she overheard Blake and Luke talking.
Blake offered, "Hey Ashton, Lucas i was just wondering if you wanted to go get some breakfast but i can now see you have company, good morning Donna, Arielle i'm guessing you had a pleasant sleep last night cause you both look gorgeous this morning like always." he then flirted.
She then heard Luke's voice from inside the room, with his light laughter, "Oh, Blake the flirt as always. But, I am actually waiting for Jenny but after that I don't mind going to breakfast."
She took this as a queue to enter, brushing past Carter and Blake. "Wait no longer." she said, breezing over to his side. She wrapped her arms around his waist, giving him a small hug, and smiled up at him.
She could feel the eyes of Ashton shift over to them, and then move away again. She didn't bother to really acknowledge him yet. "Morning, girls." she said playfully to Belladonna and Arielle.

~Ignore this~

Ashton was pleased to find that everyone liked the idea of the party. He was surprised however when Donna wanted to invite... everyone. Honestly he didn't even think nerds went to parties. The rebels? yeah definitely. He had some history partying with rebels. A good time, though it can get crazy. He only had a small pang of worry that his house would be trashed, but before they started it he'd hide all the breakable things. A maid service would be needed afterward too.
"I know its crazy but what better way do we assert ourselves as the best than to let them see us at our best. We are the best, why not show it? Plus hazel and her friends would be pretty awesome to party with." Belladonna mentioned.
Hazel. He and Hazel had an interesting history, at a party of course. The two both got drunk and hooked up before, and they casually talk when passing but it can be a bit awkward. No one really knows about it besides them and Jenny, and Ashton knew Jenny was slightly jealous by it even though it'd happened before they dated. Lucas interrupted his thoughts, agreeing.
"I think that is a great idea Bella. And what better way to start the year off than with a party, no? Besides this is going to be my first whole year here, we should celebrate."
Since Luke had agreed, Ashton gave in too, not seeing any real harm in it. "Yeah, why not right?"
Suddenly the door opened, Blake, the captain of Ashton's lacrosse team was there. A girl was held over his shoulder in a firefighter carrying position, and he spoke to them. Ashton couldn't help but smile in confusion at the situation, but beside that acted completely casually as Blake spoke.
"Hey Ashton, Lucas i was just wondering if you wanted to go get some breakfast but i can now see you have company, good morning Donna, Arielle i'm guessing you had a pleasant sleep last night cause you both look gorgeous this morning like always."
"Oh, Blake the flirt as always. But, I am actually waiting for Jenny but after that I don't mind going to breakfast."
Ashton was about to respond, considering he didn't have to wait for anyone and Donna would either come along or find something else to do he was going to accept, but Jenny floated in before he could answer. She was always so light and graceful wherever she went, to Ashton it seemed the whole room became airy and sweet. He didn't know if anyone else saw it, but he couldn't help but stare a bit at her. She hugged Luke, and said good morning to Donna and Arielle. She didn't even turn to him.
He spoke then, to Blake. "Yeah man, we should all go!" he said, looking to everyone else in the room. "I gotta throw something on to actually wear though.."He felt a bit bad since Donna had gotten them breakfast but he liked hanging out with a bunch of people.
~
The whole group went to breakfast, and had a pretty good time. Well, sort of. Ashton and Belladonna sat across from Lucas and Jenny, and maybe it was the fact that Jenny seemed so happy beside him that made Ashton jealous, but either way he was. At first his method of going about it was showing off he knew Jenny pretty well. They all ordered drinks, and after Jenny ordered hers and the waitress was about to turn to leave, Ashton spoke up. "Don't put ice in that, she doesn't like it." he said casually. The waitress nodded and smiled, and walked away. He could see the weird looks he got from the others, including Jenny. He looked at her, "What? you don't.." he laughed, and leaned back against the booth. He put his arm around Bella, and could see her raising her eyebrow at him. Which meant she was annoyed, and he shouldn't have said that. He brushed it off, and things went back to normal again. They discussed the party idea some more, and filled Jenny in. There was a point where Ashton brought up music, because he and Jenny had a similar taste. He felt like they were talking and laughing and things were getting good, until she mentioned they should play a few slow songs, for her and Luke to dance to.
She went on and on about how he was such a great dancer and what not, and the two were being like the adorable couple they were. Ashton took this chance to brag about his significant other, Donna. He made an obvious point about how they spent the summer in the hamptons together, which he could see visibly upset Jenny. Her smile fell and she sat listening. Luke didn't really seem to notice, Ashton was busy distracting him with stories of how much fun they had. It ended up with Ashton and Donna basically making out, and Jenny mentioned she had to go back to her dorm for something, and asked if Lucas would walk her there. The two left, and shortly after the rest did the same. Ashton mentioned to Bella about seeing her later that day, but Bella thought nothing of it.
~
After the announcement to go to clubs, Ashton stood in his room getting ready for Lacrosse practice. He knew he'd be coming a bit late, but that was to ask Belladonna to homecoming. He had about fifteen minutes to get over there before they showed up, and he'd already filled the magazine club's room with pink balloons. He started heading over to the room, with a box of her favorite chocolates and a pink rose. So, he liked to make things elaborate. And yeah, maybe he did know that Jenny would also be there to see it. But either way he knew it would please Belladonna, and that was his main goal. He let himself into the room, and looked around. It was filled with pink balloons everywhere randomly, with a large banner that read 'Homecoming?' on the wall. He smiled, pleased everything looked so well. He sat on one of the tables in the middle of the room, waiting for her to show up with the rest of the club.

At first Jenny had ignored all of Ashton's pokes at getting a reaction from her, and breakfast was more awkward than she'd hoped. She knew it wasn't going to be easy, or great, or anything close to that, but she didn't think it'd be that tense. She wondered if Lucas had noticed her unease, and Ashton's obvious antics for attention. She only felt a little hurt when Ashton bragged about the hamptons, it would've been worse if Luke hadn't been there. Sitting beside him put her at a relaxed level that even the king and queen couldn't affect. So she was visibly uncomfortable, but she let it melt away slowly with every touch she got from Luke. She listened to his stories, even commented and asked questions to the two. She played along like everything was fine, and remained to flirt with Luke. She didn't mean to dangle their relationship in front of her ex, but that's what had happened. She hoped Lucas wouldn't think she was toying with him, because the last thing she wanted to do right now was admit she still had feelings for Ashton. She only let her smile fall once, and that's when he brought up them meeting and spending time in the hamptons together. Yes, she was supposed to have gone with him, and she had a pang of hurt that they'd gotten together since she wasn't there. But, she tried to put on her nicest smile. After a while though, when the couple was sucking face before Jen, she politely excused herself and asked Luke to escort her to her room to get something before she had to go to the magazine club. He went with her, and eventually they parted ways after the announcement to go to sports and clubs.
She walked at a slightly slow pace. She always took her time, walking gracefully and poised. Her delicate figure glided by everyone she passed, almost silent and light, but very noticeable at the same time. She was only a few minutes late, but she was in time to see what she wished she hadn't. As she walked down the hall to the classroom, she could see Belladonna and Ashton standing in the doorway. Great. She thought, and continued in that direction. It seemed once her presence was made, the two were again passionately making out. Gross?? Get a room.. She began to edge past them without any word hoping to be unnoticed, but to her luck Belladonna and Ashton had planned the rendezvous just for her audience.

"Hey Jenny didn't see you there, what's up?" Donna cooed to her. Ashton left to go to lacrosse practice, but not without a glance at Jen. She felt a bit sick. The pink balloons everywhere didn't help. The banner that read homecoming made her realize what the situation was, and she didn't feel any better about it. He'd never really done any romantic gestures to her, but then again she wasn't one to love surprises. Though a cute ask to a dance would never hurt.. She pushed the thought of that out of her head, it wasn't good to dwell on problems of the past. She smiled shortly, and nodded, acknowledging what had happened. "I should really be asking you.." she muttered in response, wondering if Donna could hear the discomfort it her voice. The wink Donna sent her back gave Jenny a lump in her throat, and a sinking feeling in her stomach as she marveled her next words to Jenny. "I think I might love him." Belladonna had turned before she was able to see Jenny's look of disdain, and it quickly faded back the the cold pretentious looking expression Jenny was usually found with. Her grey eyes studied Belladonna as she popped an expensive looking chocolate into her mouth. She could imagine the chocolate melting easily, to whatever gooey center it held.

"Well? sit down." the queen ordered. Jenny reluctantly did as she was told, and sunk into a chair quietly. She tried clearing her head, and just thinking of Lucas to calm her, but it was hard. Why was Bella toying with her? Had she done something to upset her? She wondered. Was it really just Ashton's fault? She sighed under her breath, so small that Donna would either not notice or ignore. Belladonna starred in the direction of the door, probably waiting for Arielle. Jenny thought of something to say to her, debating whether she should fight back or play dumb. Maybe neither and just stay quiet? Or schmooze and make small talk of the dance, what Bella would be wearing and what not.
She spoke somewhat softly, trying to be casual. "Have you two said you loved each other yet?" she asked, trying to seem uninterested as she began to page through a magazine laying open on the table. "I mean, you said you think you do, but I just thought, maybe.." she trailed off, leaving room for Belladonna to answer. If this backfired she'd quickly go for the dance conversation instead, maybe ask if they'd all be arriving together or separately. She also wondered what they were going to do about a homecoming campaign, if Donna thought she needed on or not. Jenny continued to look through the magazine, though she was almost fully focused on Donna's next answer.
