Ariana's POV:
After waiting for Frankie and mom to come home for an hour now. I got bored, so I decided to call Alexa again. No answer. That's weird Alexa usually answers my calls. Hmm.
I then heard the door knob twist. OMG IT WAS ALEXA!! AHH.
"HEY ALEXA WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME YOU WERE COMING? I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!" I squealed while hugging her and squeezing her to death.
"Because I wanted to give you the best surprise ever! I MISSED YOU TOO! BTW, I THINK YOU CAN LET GO NOW..." She said while choking.
"Oops sorry Alexa." I said letting her go.
"It's okay Ari." She said laughing.
"Let's go upstairs to my room. I can't wait to tell you EVERYTHING!!" I said with a big smile on my face.
"Kk." She said laughing.
But before we went upstairs I quickly said thank you to mom and Frankie for bringing Alexa here to L.A. I then asked Alexa how long she was staying. She said a month, since it is still summer break.
"So, Alexa this is my room." I said opening my arms.
"Woah! It's so pretty." She said giggling.
"Thanks." I said smiling.
"So, tell me..." She said.
"Tell you what?" I said with a confused look.
"Downstairs... you said you were going to tell me everything. Remember?" She said laughing.
"Oh yeah... So, what do you want to hear first?" I said laughing.
"Tell me about the boys you were talking about on the phone." She said smiling.
"Okay." I said.
I started by telling her about how I met them. Then I told her about how loveable they are and their personalities. I basically told her everything I knew about them since they were my only friends here. I don't Alexa was listening to the whole thing but, whatever.

"ALEXA! ARIANA! DINNER'S READY!!" I heared my mom scream.
"OKAY!!" Me and Alexa screamed back.
We went downstairs to see that my mom ordered take out and Frankie bought us a box of macaroons. Yum!
END OF POV.
Jai's POV:
I just came home from hanging out with Justin and Nathan. All we talked about was Ariana. I think that we all like her... If she were to date one of us, our friendship would probably be screwed. But, she is so adorable and perfect. I just want her to love me... only me.
"Jai!!" I heared my brother Luke say.
"Yea?" I said.
"HELP ME!" He screamed.
"Why should I?" I said.
"BEAU... HE'S TRYING TO KILL ME!!" He screamed.
"What did you do this time?" I asked.
"He took something out of my room, then broke it!" Beau said.
"AH!" Luke screamed.
"Whatever." I said ignoring the chaos, going up to my room.
This kind of thing always goes on in our house. Since our parents are usually at work during the night. So, we don't really see them.
*Ding!* I heared my phone go. It was from Nath, asking me if I wanted to hangout again on Friday. "Sure." I replied. I was pretty tired so I dozed off.
END OF POV.
Ariana's POV:
"Today is the best day ever." I thought to myself. I got to see my best friend, eat macaroons and have a lazy day. It was already midnight. So, me and Alexa quickly took turns in the washroom and got dressed into our pajamas. I was wearing a pink onesie with candies on them. Alexa was wearing a purple onesie with flowers on them. I love onesies.
Before Alexa went into the guest room. I quickly said some things to her.
"Goodnight, Alexa! Thank you for coming here from Florida to L.A. just for me!" I said smiling.
"Goodnight, Ariana! And you're welcome!" She said with a smile.
We headed into our rooms turned off the lights and went to bed.

Gaia Ark
Commander Coop, a four-armed, power-armored, super-soldier, undertakes a mission to assassinate the head of a religious cult bent on destroying the UPSF and everyone they protect. But no mission is ever that simple. GAIA ARK is an action adventure hero's journey featuring a cranky cyborg, vampiric sword, alien monsters, and enough self-discovery to provide a character arc. It's a little rough around the edges, a little crude. I started writing this story on November 2, 2018. This story is mid-composition. Please expect clunky prose, notes [in brackets], and incomplete...

Homeland
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER -- In Cory Doctorow’s wildly successful Little Brother, young Marcus Yallow was arbitrarily detained and brutalized by the government in the wake of a terrorist attack on San Francisco—an experience that led him to become a leader of the whole movement of technologically clued-in teenagers, fighting back against the tyrannical security state.A few years later, California's economy collapses, but Marcus’s hacktivist past lands him a job as webmaster for a crusading politician who promises reform. Soon his former nemesis Masha emerges from the political underground to gift him with a thumbdrive containing a Wikileaks-style cable-dump of hard evidence of corporate and governmental perfidy. It’s incendiary stuff—and if Masha goes missing, Marcus is supposed to release it to the world. Then Marcus sees Masha being kidnapped by the same government agents who detained and tortured Marcus years earlier.Marcus can leak the archive Masha gave him—but he can’t admit to being the leaker, because that will cost his employer the election. He’s surrounded by friends who remember what he did a few years ago and regard him as a hacker hero. He can’t even attend a demonstration without being dragged onstage and handed a mike. He’s not at all sure that just dumping the archive onto the Internet, before he’s gone through its millions of words, is the right thing to do.Meanwhile, people are beginning to shadow him, people who look like they’re used to inflicting pain until they get the answers they want. Fast-moving, passionate, and as current as next week, Homeland is every bit the equal of Little Brother—a paean to activism, to courage, to the drive to make the world a better place.
