Luzi stumbled out of bed; the sound of her alarm blared through her room as she quickly hit the snooze button. She rubbed her eyes getting rid of the sleep before she carefully made her way over to the closet. She pulled out the clothes she was going to wear and made her way to the bathroom. She turned on the water, got undressed and stepped into the shower.
Once she was finished she turned off the water, stepped out and dried herself off before putting on her outfit for the day. Finally dressed, she made her way into the kitchen and made herself some breakfast. Her mum had already left for work so she had the house to herself. The brunette ate her food and then cleaned up.
After breakfast Luzi made her way to school; heading towards the large stack of books out the front. As she was early, she sat down and stared off into the distance, her thoughts went straight to Carlie. She thought about the weekend and how she would have much rather of spent it with her and not babysitting, she loved her cousins but this thing with Carlie was different, new, something she couldn’t quite understand and it scared her because every time she had time to sit and reflect her thought went back to Carlie and Friday night. ‘I still can’t believe I kissed her, me… I… first… I kissed her first and she didn’t care, well of course she didn’t care, she made it quite clear she has an attraction towards me but… why... I just don’t understand, ugh why did I have to?’
“Hi Luzi,” a voice came from beside her which interrupted her thoughts. She turned and looked towards the source of the voice and instantly froze.
“Em… Emma, hi,” she stuttered, trying to find her voice.
“Hey, how was your weekend?”
“It was… um… it was good… yeah,” she responded, averting her eyes in the other direction.
“That’s good,” Emma smiled, “Are you alright?” she asked after a moments silence as she noticed Luzi’s odd behaviour.
“Yeah I am fine, you know just thinking about things… nothing in particular, just stuff and… Carlie,” she blurted out as she saw the brunette walk towards them. All Emma could do was smile.
“Morning ladies,” Carlie said as soon as she was close enough, turning towards Luzi and smiling.
“Mo..morning,” Luzi stuttered once more.
“Good morning Carlie,” Emma said.
“Did you both have a nice weekend?”
“My weekend was lovely and what about yours?” Emma smiled.
“Yeah, it was good,” Carlie smiled back before turning her attention to Luzi. “What about you Luzi?”
“What?”
“Your weekend, how was it?”
“Oh, it was good thanks,” Luzi said with a hint of blush causing Carlie to let out a big grin.
Emma smiled as she saw Jenny walk in the front gates; her smile grew even bigger with each moment Jenny got closer.
“Hey,” Jenny said in a low husky voice which made Emma shiver from head to toe.
“Hi,” Emma smiled as she felt her ears and face heat up.
“Hey Jenny,” Carlie said, interrupting the moment.
“Hey, how are you?”
“Good thanks and you?”
“I’m great,” Jenny responded, never taking her eyes off Emma. “Hey Luzi,” she finally said once she noticed her sitting next to Emma.
“Hi Jenny,” Luzi smiled.
“So is everyone excited for school?” Jenny asked in her best enthusiastic voice.
“Oh yeah definitely,” Emma giggled.
“You know I am,” Carlie said with a wink towards Luzi.
They all continued to talk until the bell rang indicating the first lesson was about to start, Jenny turned towards Emma and held out her hand, Emma happily took it and they walked hand in hand to their first class which they had together. Jenny couldn’t help the smile that appeared on her face, she turned towards Emma and saw her smiling the exact same way and this caused the brunette to smile wider. ‘She is so amazing,’ Jenny thought as they sat down at the desk.
Throughout the lesson Jenny and Emma kept glancing at each other as they silently whispered things which made the other one slightly giggle in their seat. Gotting wasn’t impressed and threatened to separate them if it continued but they didn’t really care, all they cared about was the fact they were in each other company. Finally the class was over and the beginning of the next lesson began, they had two different classes, so Jenny walked Emma to her class before heading to her own; she was rewarded with a kiss on the cheek.

Luzi sat in her first class hoping that it would be over already as she couldn’t focus on a single thing that was being said even though she tried, her thoughts once again brought her to the dazzling brunette that had stolen her heart, she still didn’t want to admit that she liked Carlie but with each passing minute her mind kept pushing these feelings out even more then before and it drove her crazy.
Finally the class had ended; she grabbed all of her stuff and rushed out of the classroom not paying attention to where she was going, she bumped into someone which caused them to stumble forward slightly.
“Oh man, I am so sorry,” she said quickly as her eyes slowly made their way up to the face of the person.
“It’s quite alright,” the person said smiling back at her.
“Carlie! No seriously, sorry, my mind is all over the place,” she blurted out without thinking.
“Anything in particular?” she smirked.
“What? No... no, nothing in particular, just stressed over school and exams, and how much stuff I have to do plus then there is STAG and a lot of practicing and performing and…” she paused for a moment and looked to see the amused smile Carlie had plastered on her face, she took a deep breath in before she spoke once again. “I’m rambling aren’t I?” Luzi asked before biting her bottom lip.
“Well, maybe a little bit, but I don’t mind listening to you,” Carlie winked.
“I… uh… well I have to go to my… um… my other class,” Luzi stuttered as a hint of blush appeared once again on her face.
“Can I walk you? Or is that too fast for you?” Carlie asked with concern but hoping Luzi would say yes.
“Sure, it’s fine,” Luzi smiled. ‘Shit what did I just do?’ she thought as she once again bit down on her bottom lip.
Carlie walked beside Luzi close enough to just about touch arms; it took every fibre of her being to resist the urge to grab the brunette’s hand because she knew if she did it would scare Luzi off and she didn’t want that, she was happy just to be close to her for now. They reached her class and Luzi smiled to Carlie before thanking her and walking in, Carlie let out a deep sigh she had been holding in before she turned and headed for her next class.

Emma finally finished her last class of the day so she made her way towards the cafeteria to buy herself a coffee before heading towards the auditorium for STAG practice. As she reached the cafeteria she noticed Jenny sitting on the couch reading some papers so she slowly made her way over, her heart began racing in her chest, she took a deep breath in trying to calm her nerves that were bottling up inside. ‘How is it she makes me feel this way each time I look at her?’ she thought as she finally reached the couch.
“Hey,” Emma quietly said with a smile.
“Hi,” Jenny said as she looked up and saw Emma standing there.
“Have you got a free?” Emma asked looking down at her notes.
“Yeah, but then I have class this afternoon,” Jenny pouted.
“Aww, would you like a coffee? I was just about to get one before I saw you sitting here,” Emma asked.
“Aww, you are lovely but I bought myself a juice before I sat down, thank you anyway,” Jenny smiled.
“That’s fine, stay here I will be right back,” Emma smiled before heading towards the tiny school canteen.
Emma finally had her cup of coffee and was making her way back to where Jenny was sitting when she saw Hotte sitting down next to her, she instantly rolled her eyes as she continued to make her way over to them.
“So have you had anymore thoughts about joining STAG?” Hotte asked eagerly.
“Um, well I don’t really know, I’m still thinking about it,” Jenny simply replied.
“Hotte, leave her alone,” Emma said as she saw the slightly faded smile placed on Hotte’s face.
“Hey! I’m not doing anything, I was just asking.”
“Well would you stop tormenting my girlfriend,” Emma blurted out and instantly brought her free hand up to her mouth and covered it.
“Girlfriend?” Hotte asked confused, “What? When did this happen?”
‘She called me her girlfriend, it sounds so right when it comes out of her mouth,’ Jenny thought as she smiled to herself.
“Saturday night,” Emma said, finally able to find her voice after her heart beat became normal again.
“Emma! Why do you always get the good looking girls, it’s just not fair at all! Can’t you leave any for me?” Hotte joked as a smile appeared on his face.
“No Hotte, I can’t, I am protecting them from you,” Emma said, poking out her tongue as Hotte pulled a fake shocked expression.
“Well, congratulations ladies, you make a very cute couple,” Hotte said after a moments silence.
“Thanks,” Jenny said, before smiling again.
“Well, Emma, we better head off, don’t want to be late for STAG practice,” Hotte said in Emma’s direction.
“Oh… yeah I forgot, Jenny would you like to come?” Emma asked.
“I would love to but I have to get these study notes done, it’s taking me forever but will I see you after school?” Jenny smiled towards Emma.
“Of course,” she smiled back before she moved towards Jenny and gave her a quick kiss on the lips.

The end of class bell blared and Luzi sighed a relief as she now had STAG practice which meant she had time with Carlie. She packed away her stuff and made her way out of the classroom and towards the auditorium, her heart started to beat faster and faster with each step. ‘I can’t believe she can do this to me, I mean no one has made me feel this way, I admit, I thought I was in love with Timo at one point but he is with Sophie so I had no chance, but now this attraction to Carlie, it’s different, stronger and a lot more scary,’ she thought as she finally stepped foot into the auditorium; she was the first one there so she made her way over to the piano and began playing a tune on it.
After a couple of minutes Carlie entered the room un-noticed, she smiled to herself at the fact that Luzi had no idea she was in there. Slowly she made her way over to the piano where Luzi sat and stood behind her just listening to her quietly hum. Finally Luzi stopped as she felt a presence in the room; she slowly turned and saw Carlie standing behind her with a big grin on her face, instantly she turned red as she averted her eyes as embarrassment swept over her.
“No, keep playing, I was enjoying it,” Carlie smiled to her.
“I… uh…well…” Luzi began stuttering but was interrupted as Emma and Hotte made their way into the room.
“Hey Carlie and Luzi are we ready?” Hotte said getting excited.
“Yes Hotte, we are,” Carlie laughed a little.
They were shortly followed by Timo and Sophie; Bea appeared ten minutes late. They all gathered on the stage and started to sing Dreams. As they were singing Luzi kept stealing glances at Carlie who kept smiling back at her, this caused Luzi to slightly smile as a shade of red appeared, it went un-noticed by everyone, but she still felt a little worried about showing her affection towards Carlie. The song had come to a finish and Bea clapped and told them they were fantastic, she suggested they go for another break before coming back and singing some more.
The afternoon appeared and the only people left in the Auditorium were Luzi, Carlie, Emma and Hotte. Sophie and Timo had a class to attend and Bea had a class to teach so that left the four of them to practice on their own. They spoke about different songs they would like to learn and Hotte rambled on about his weekend and how he bumped into a girl at Chulos, he said they hit it off really well but they all knew Hotte loved to exaggerate.
Before they knew it the bell for the end of school had blared and they sighed in relief, they all got up and headed for the door; Luzi hesitantly grabbed a hold of Emma’s arm and pulled her back as she wanted to tell Emma about her and Carlie.
“Emma can I talk to you?” she said in a worried voice.
“Of course you can,” Emma smiled before looking up and seeing Carlie waiting by the door.
“Um… Carlie, we will catch up to you later,” Luzi yelled out, Carlie just smiled and nodded her head.
“Please don’t hate me,” Luzi said turning her attention to Emma once again.
“What? Why would I hate you?” Emma asked confused.
“Well… uh… the reason why… um, the reason why Carlie broke up with you was because… well… because…” Luzi stuttered as she was trying to find the right way to tell Emma. She closed her eyes as she took a deep breath in and out and bit her bottom lip. ‘Oh man how am I going to tell her? She is my best friend and I pretty much stole her girlfriend right form under her, seriously what kind of friend am I? This is seriously difficult and I am seriously a bad friend, ugh how am I going to….’
“Because Carlie likes you and you like Carlie?” Emma blurted out interrupting her thoughts catching her off guard as a look of shock swept over her face.
