1:30 am
"but I'm on the outside.....I'm lookin in......I can see though you......see your true colors......'cause inside you're ugly.......ugly like me......I can see through you........see to the real you." Staind continued to belt out songs, they even did a cover of "Too Bad" by Nickelback.
Melissa and I shared a slow dance near the back exit to the main room, it was the only open place where we could do this. "What a day huh?" I asked. Melissa smiled and put her head on my shoulder and we continued to dance.
Staind finished with "Outside" and the 2,000 students that were inside of the house cheered. "Ok, this song is a cover song, this is for those of you who think we are all power ballads." Aaron Lewis said, then the band broke into "Walk" by Pantera.
Melissa and I walked through the crowd and both jumped up and started crowd surfing. "Can't you see.....I'm easily....bothered by the system....." Staind continued to rock out as we crowd surfed.
Gutter then got on stage, and dove off into the crowd. "STOP THIS RIGHT NOW" We heard as we joined everyone near the stolen bar.
The room fell dead silent and Staind stopped playing. "Alright everyone, you've let these warped nihlists corrupt you long enough, party's over." President Garcia-Thompson said.
Drozi approached her as the crowd began to file out. "Thanks for taking the party, that was real nice, but uh, I've got some bad news...." Drozi showed her the money "...seven thousand five hundred and forty eight dollars, we're keeping the house." Drozi replied.
"Do you recognize these Mr.. Andrews, their complaint forms, and between today's activities and tonight's little lesson in offensiveness. I can assure you there are more then enough to kick you all off campus, the students have spoken, you're out of here." Garcia-Thompson replied.
A few minutes later....
"Hey man, we tried." Aaron Lewis said "No problem, thanks anyway." Drozi said. "Hey wait" I said, Mulls handed me the lock box with all the money in it and I handed it to Aaron. "No, it was our pleasure." Aaron said.
Aaron and the band walked away. "Hey Ice., good luck against Chris Jericho on Sunday." Aaron replied. "Thanks" I replied as he left. I just sat down and sighed as Matt and Jeff Hardy joined me on the ground. "What a day this has turned out to be" Matt said.

"I got one question...." I asked as we stood there for a few minutes in dead silence "...if we're being moved out, whose moving in?" Randall McPherson then broke through out crowd. "Hi everyone, wow looks like you went all out raising $7,000 wow. " Randall said. Drozi looked at him suspiciously.
"What's the matter still trying to figure it out....." Randall paused. "...we give you the damage bill, you throw a party, all the freaks come out of the woodwork to protest and you're gone."
We all looked at each other stunned. "Well, we still trashed your Beamer you screaming preppie asshole." Dave Daniels said laughing. "That's not my car" Randall said as the alarm went off on his car, which was NOT the one we trashed. "Now get off my lawn"
All of us watched helplessly as Randall and his friends moved into the pit.
Tom then came over to us and said. "Wait, you guys can't just go in and let them take the pit. "We could go Waco on them, blow up our own house." Dave Wilson suggested. "Can't...." Mulls said "...ran out of explosives. What we need is a plan."
"Ok, Garcia-Thompson is the president, she's the one kicking you out right?" Tom asked. "Yeah" Drozi replied. "What if she wasn't the president anymore?" Tom said. "Sounds nice in theory, but how the hell are we supposed to pull that one off?" Mulls replied.
We fell silent for a few minutes before Tom spoke up. "I overheard some old guys talking, when I was running around campus, they want to get rid of Thompson, but legally they can't, not unless she screws up something really, really big."
We all stood up, Brandon and Drozi looked at each other and smiled. "You thinkin' what I am?" Brandon replied. "Maybe, but we'll need Jason's help." Drozi said
"Get your cars, we are staying at Draco Manor tonight." Brandon said. Dream, Jeff, myself, Eric, Matt and Brandon all piled into Brandon's van and headed for Draco Manor.
"Hell of a day huh Brandon?" I asked. "Yep, and it's not over yet, the Centennial Ball is tomorrow." Brandon replied. "What does that have to do with this?" Melissa asked. "Remember what Tom said about the president of the university screwing up something really big?" Brandon asked. "Yeah" We replied. "What's bigger then the university's 100th birthday." Brandon replied.
45 Minutes later...
We pulled up to Draco Manor. "Jason, we need your help." Drozi said.
