ChapterTwo-Back In Shock 

September 5th, 2006

 It's now September, and the first day of the senior year for 7 of the 8 members of UTurn. Ethan, who has his own room, entered Andrew and Justin's room. He was holding a water gun, and held it at Andrew's head. He nudged him to wake up. He did, and when he saw the water gun, he was startled. Ethan laughed while Andrew looked pissed.

 Andrew said to Ethan in an irritated tone, "Are you f*cking crazy?! Then again, you are crazy."

 Ethan grinned evilly, then he turned the gun on Justin. He woke up, saw the gun, and fell off his bed. Ethan laughed, and Justin was pissed.

 Suddenly, Stacie entered the bedroom. She said to them, "Boys, c'mon! The girls are already awake! Well, except Riley."

 Justin asked, "How long have you lot been awake?"

 "Well, it's 7 right now. Aly and I woke up at 6, and Bailey and Amanda woke up thirty minutes later. So yeah, get up! We're popstars, so we must look our best."

 Ethan asked, "Then why are we going back to our high school?"

 Andrew said bitterly, "Cuz our stupid contract says so. Look, I'm all for finishing high school, but not at our old school."

 Then Ethan spoke up in a stuffy, fake British accent, "So in the meantime, little children, you're commoners."

 Justin said in an irritated tone, "I don't talk like that! And we're not kids!"

 "But you're minors."

 Andrew said, "So are you, Jackson. And drop the attitude."

 Stacie asked, "So are you gonna keep arguing and look crappy, or are you gonna look like hot popstar boys? Remember, you 3 used to be the most popular guys in school, and your current status is at risk."

 Andrew and Justin abruptly got up, and left their room. Ethan slowly walked out of the room.

 It's thirty minutes later, and UTurn arrived at a Starbucks to buy drinks and breakfast. Everyone was decked in designer everything. 

 Alyson in all-out pink PINK and Juicy Couture: Pink corset, pink pleated miniskirt, pink messenger bag, pink pumps, and a pink tiara. Stacie was also in pink Juicy: Pink tee, pink shorts, and pink booties. Andrew in all-out Abercrombie: Black tee, torn jeans, and Converse sneakers. Justin was in a Hollister tee and jeans. Ethan in a Burberry suit. Bailey in Hollister tank and shorts, with Converse sneakers. And Amanda was wearing Hot Topic clothes: A black band tee, black skinny jeans, and Converse sneakers. 

 They all looked like perfect cover models...except for Amanda, who looked disheveled. Alyson was irritated by Amanda's look. She said to Amanda in a snobby tone, "Like, OMG, you are a mess!"

 Amanda said, "This is how I used to look before I went pop."

 "But we're famous now. So you need to look your best."

 "What about you? You're wearing a ridiculous tiara. What are you, Princess Alyson?"

 "I'm wearing it to show that I'm still the Queen Bee of Beacon Hill High."

 Then Alyson noticed Andrew was slowly eating his breakfast sandwich. She approached him, and asked, "Andrew, are you okay?"

 Andrew said, "I'm just nervous."

 "Don't worry, we'll be walking hand-in-hand, and we'll be the hottest, baddest badasses the school has ever seen."

 Andrew blushed and grinned. Then he held Alyson's hand, and left the coffee shop with the other members.

 It's a few minutes later, and the UTurners arrived at Beacon Hill High School. Alyson, with Andrew by her side and Stacie next to them, walked in first. They held their heads high. As for the others, they just entered as if they were regular people. 

 When they entered the school, a bunch of students screamed in excitement. They were asking for autographs and photos. Suddenly, a familiar girl's voice shouted, "BACK AWAY FROM THEM!!!"

 The students backed away, and UTurn was in clear view of the girl. They immediately recognized her. Aslyson asked, "Libby?"

 Libby Middleton, the girl who apparently hated Alyson, was standing there. She had a cold expression on her face. Libby approached the members as she taunted, "Well, well, well. Isn't it Alyson Bauer, the Christian Jew who was the most meanest, popular girl in school. Aw, you got a tiara. You still think you're on top. Well, here's a reality check: I'm now the Queen Bee!"

 Alyson and Stacie were shocked. Libby noticed, so she evilly grinned, "Yeah, I'm now the captain of the cheerleading squad. I think you know already that I'm smarter than you. I'm obviously sexier than you. So I'm now in charge of the Pink Clique."

 Alyson said angrily, "You won't get away with this! I will reclaim my position as Queen Bee!"

 Libby rolled her eyes, and walked away.

 Immediately after that, Andrew eyed a guy who could be his first victim. When he approached him, he recognized him. He asked, "Greg? You look..."

 Greg said smugly, "A football player?"

 Greg was a blonde guy. He's wealthy, has brains, athletic, and has looks. He's a junior.

 Andrew asked, "Weren't you one of the emos before?"

 Greg explained, "Yes, but I also wanted to play sports. Before I couldn't because of your use of fear-tactics. Once you and your little band left the school, I got an opportunity. Now I'm popular, and the baddest bully in school."

 Andrew said nervously, "O-Okay. But I'm still one to be feared."

 "Really?"

 Greg snapped his fingers, and a couple of guys surrounded Andrew. Then they all pushed him onto the lockers, and punched him in the stomach. Andrew slid down the lockers. Then guys left him. Greg evilly grinned at Andrew as he taunted, "Your reign of terror is over, Hawthorne. It's now my turn."

 Then Greg met up with Libby, who apparently was his girlfriend, and left, laughing. Andrew stared in confusion. Alyson approached Andrew, and got down on her knees. She told him, "F*ck them! We'll kick their asses."

 Andrew said quietly, "I don't know anymore."

 "As long as we have each other, we'll be unstoppable."

  Alyson then kissed Andrew's lips passionately. When they let go, they both smiled at each other.

 It's around lunch time. The basketball team and the football team received an anonymous text message. It said to meet at the basketball court. When they arrived, they saw a guy in a suit. He turned around, and they saw it was Ethan.

 Greg said in an irritated tone, "What is it? Why are we here?"

 Ethan said, "You're all here because I have a proposition for you."

 Greg scoffed, "Yeah, and what it is?"

 Ethan: "Bring about Andrew Hawthorne's downfall. He used to bully everyone, right? Well, you all bully him. Torture him to the point of him breaking."

 Greg, and the rest of the athletes agreed to this plot.
