(chapter originally by newfavorite at writing.com)

Isabel walked back into her apartment, she was met again by Dylan and Nikki, they were very eager to find out why Isabel was naked earlier.

"I suppose you what's going on?" Isabel said as Dylan and Nikki both shook their heads.

When Isabel mentioned Layla, Nikki replied.

"Yeah that petite punk girl, who likes that jerk Zach."

Isabel was surprised that Nikki knew Layla. Nikki hung out with the college crowd, and didn't seem like she would know Layla. Nikki was a second generation Polynesian woman, with perfectly tan skin, smooth skin and glasses. Everyone seemed to know and like Nikki, Nikki knew all the gossip around town.

"Then this big blonde woman and two short brunette girls came and threatened me because I was hanging out with Steve."

"Was her named Claire?" Nikki said with a huge burst of excitement.

"Yeah, do you know her." Isabel asked.

"Oh my god, yes! She is the worst person I have ever met. I frigging hate her. I went to school with her back in high school. The richest girl in the school, loved to humiliate other girls, including me. Kicked me out of the locker room naked once. Claire is literally the worst person I have ever met, the only reason why anyone ever hung out with her was because she was rich and has a great body. God the boys loved her!"

"Steve doesn't like her!" Isabel retorted back in defense.

"Oh he might not like her as a person, but no man can turn down that body, she'll just throw herself on him. That woman takes what she wants!"

"She better not!" Isabel quickly retorted.

"Wait you like Steve?" Dylan said in a stunned and hurt tone.

Isabel then realized that she had just hurt Dylan. There was a long awkward pause. "Yeah." Isabel said looking concerned.

"Steve likes you too, I saw you first so he let me go after you. God I never get the girls..I have to be somewhere anyway." Dylan said in a defeated voice as he walked away, clearly hurt. The two girls wave to Dylan as he left dejected. Isabel spoke up after Dylan was gone.

"Why did you let him in anyway."

"He came by, Dylan's cool so I let him in, I figured you would be back soon so we were going to play some scrabble or something." Nikki said.

Isabel finished her story.

"God I feel bad for Layla." Nikki said.

"Yeah me too. But on the bright side I am meeting Steve again at noon tomorrow." Isabel smiled.

"What about Claire?" Nikki retorted.

Isabel froze, she had forgotten the threats that Claire and her hench-women had made. "Maybe I shouldn't go."

"No you should." Nikki said with a contemplative look in her eyes,

"Claire, she needs to be knocked down a peg or two, maybe I'll go with you, I'll keep a watch out for you." said Nikki.

"I've had a long day, I'll see you tomorrow Nikki." Isabel said as she got up and walked back to her room.

Nikki covered her mouth and laughed to herself as she saw Isabel's backside. The bunny costume had a flap in the back that seemed to be broken. Isabel had been walking around with her backside exposed this entire time.
