Classroom on the Fifth Floor...

"Liv, wanna playing exploding snap?"

"Sure."

"Sweet."

"You got the cards?"

"Right here." Amanda pulled the cards out of her plaid black and purple messanger bag.

"Okay."

Amanda setted the cards up in a tower. "Ready?"

"How do you play? =|"

"Umm... I think you pull a card out and if it goes boom you're out?"

"Oh."

Serenity sat on her belly on the floor in the middle of the room, legs bent at the knee and swinging in the air, while she was reading a transfiguration textbook, left index finger playing with a loose string on her blue mini-dress, hair bobbing every time she turned the page.

"Hmm.... Shall we force Serenity to play?"

"You can ask."

"But I duwanna get up..."

"THEN YELL!"

"Good idea Livi-chan. SEEERRREEENITY!" Amanda called her name in a sing songy voice, "WANNA PLAY EXPODING SNAP WITH US?"

"I don't play stupid games. Leave me alone, I'm studying, and this is an important subject for me. If you want to waste your time being idiots, go ahead. I have better things to do than pull cards."

Amanda rolled herself over on her back, staring at the cieling. "It's easy to get great grades is to balance work and play..." Amanda blinked and stopped dead in the middle of the sentence. "Not that I would know though."

"My play days are either all in December, or on Sundays. Now leave me alone. I'm going to pass every class, and to do that, I have to STUDY, not screw around! The game's stupid anyways."

Amanda looked away back to her cieling view. "It's not screwing around. It's having a good time."

"GET YOUR BLONDE BUTT OVER HERE AND PLAY EXPLODING SNAP. YOUTH IS FLEEING!!" She pulled a card. Nothing.

Amanda pulled a card.

Nothing.

Olivia pulled another card.

Nothing.

Amanda pulled a card. NOTHING. "You try one, yes you sir!~" Amanda pointed at Charlie.

He shook his head. "I'd rather watch, thanks."
