The story deals with the aftermath of Mary-Sue and Daniel's divorce, the intensifying rivalry between the twins, and Lilith's growing connection with Angela's boyfriend [[Dustin Broke]]. The story is told mostly from Lilith's point of view and puts her as the main character, but other characters do have scenes and small portions told from their point of view too.
==Chapter 1: New Lilith, New Attitude==
''7:00am, [[215 Sim Lane]] ''
Line 88:
"I think I'll eat upstairs." Lilith smiled at Mary-Sue and carried her dinner upstairs. Mary-Sue snapped out of her shocked state to make one last remark.
"Good! And stay up there, I don't wanna see you for the rest of the night, you hear me?!" Mary-Sue yelled. Lilith didn't care, she felt like a boss, a new person with a new attitude. It's amazing what a new look can do to a person. Lilith ate her dinner, humming the tune of Patti LaBelle's "New Attitude" under her breath. Lilith wasn't into old 80's pop music, in fact she only knew the song because of her forced attendance at one of Angela's dance recitals years ago, but at this moment the lyrics of the song struck a chord with her.{{#tag:ref|Patti LaBelle - ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWfZ5SZZ4xE New Attitude]''|name=New Attitude|group=note}}
''I'm feeling good from my head to my shoes''
Line 121:
"Sorry I can't, big report due tomorrow."
"Aw that's lame" said Meadow. "But Dustin's gonna be there, just something to help you reconsider." That made Angela want to go a little more, and she really could get that first kiss she wanted, but she really had to keep her reputation up as one of the class geniuses.
"Sorry, I can't. If you see Dustin, tell him I said sorry and I'll see him some other time." Angela walked off to the library, feeling prettu guilty, but knowing if she wanted a place in [[Sim State University]]{{#tag:ref|Sim State University is the main university in Pleasantview from ''[[The Sims 2: University]]''.|name=university|group=note}} she had to keep her head in the books.. Lilith had been watching the conversation happen in the background, she felt sorry for Dustin in a way. There was an opportunity for Angela to really get Dustin to like her more, and she threw it away. She could always finish her book report some other time. Just as Lilith started thinking about Dustin, he seemed to materialize behind her.
"Hey Lilith." he said. Lilith jumped, and turned around to see Dustin.
Line 143:
''6:03pm, 215 Sim Lane''
Lilith was out the shower. She had managed to successfully avoid Angela for most of the day, Angela was in her room doing her book report as predicted. Mary-Sue was doing some work downstairs, so Lilith had the rest of the night to be Lilith without distractions. Lilith skimmed through the clothes in her wardrobe. Should she wear a dress? Lilith had this lovely black dress she could have worn, but decided against it. Lilith instead chose a Paramore{{#tag:ref|Paramore is
"Hey Lil." he said, smiling at her in the adorable way he did earlier.
Line 153:
''7:10pm, 210 Wright Way''
When Lilith arrived at the party, the first thing that hit her was a wave of music blasting through. Dustin left her side to talk to Orlando, leaving her virtually alone and helpless. Lilith stood by the door for a full minute, unsure of what exactly to do in this situation. She collected her thoughts and decided to go get a drink, deciding there was no point in spending the duration of the party chilling in the corner by herself. Lilith collected a Dim and Gusty cocktail{{#tag:ref|A cocktail in ''[[The Sims 4]]''. It doesn't actually appear in ''The Sims 2'', but let's just for story's sake.|name=dim and gusty|group=note}} from the refreshments table, a handful of potato chips, and just kinda stayed by the refreshment table waiting for Dustin. The music changed to an old house song called "Dreamer"{{#tag:ref|The song Lilith is referring to is ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VuyQuRAsHI "Dreamer"]'' by Italian group Livin' Joy.|name=dreamer|group=note}}, and of course, whenever this song comes on anywhere, Dirk was singing along at the top of his lungs. Lilith rolled her eyes and focused back on her drink, then she got another one, and another one, until things just seemed a little bit lighter. Lilith wasn't super juiced, just a bit juiced{{#tag:ref|"Juice" and "Juiced" are the Sim terms for alcohol and drunk.|name=Juiced|group=note}}, and she was ready to drink another one and head home, but the song suddenly changed to something by Paramore. Dustin finally appeared.
"Requested this for you." Dustin announced with a smile. Lilith about melted onto the refreshment table.
Line 177:
"Someone saw us!" Lilith shouted back at Dustin. Dustin looked terrified.
"I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry. Aw god Lilith, this can't get out! It was a mistake." he yelled. Lilith looked back at him, she said nothing, she just looked. She knew it wasn't a mistake and so did he, but they needed to tell themselves that in case it got out. Lilith ran out of the house, "Pound the Alarm"{{#tag:ref|''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdrqA93sW-8 "Pound The Alarm"]'' is a song by Trinidadian rapper Nicki Minaj.|name=nicki|group=note}} playing in the
==Chapter 3: A Scandal in PCHS==
''
Throughout breakfast the next morning, Lilith's head was pounding. Not only because she ended up slightly juiced after the party, but because she was ashamed. She hated Angela with a passion and knew that Angela only started dating Dustin to spite her, but nonetheless Dustin was taken by her, and Lilith had taken his first kiss. Lilith wasn't some boy-stealer, she wasn't her sister. Dustin and Lilith got caught during their moment, but they had no clue how much they saw and who they were. The worst part is Lilith couldn't tell if Angela already knew because she was always cold and harsh to Lilith whether she had a reason or not.
''7:36am, [[55 Woodland Drive]] ''
Lilith. Angela. Lilith. Angela. Those were the only two people Dustin could think about that morning, he felt guilt at kissing Lilith, but he's always connected with her more than Angela, losing her as a friend over the last few months crushed him. But Angela, Angela was cute, fun, and had a dark side that nobody else seemed to know. Dustin was caught between the two Pleasants, and he had no idea what to do. He wished his father was still around to talk him through his girl trouble.
"Dustin, honey are you alright? You've barely touched your leftovers." his mother [[Brandi Broke|Brandi]] showed genuine concern. Being a single mother of three boys must be tough for her, especially with [[Beau Broke|Beau]] starting pre-school soon and baby [[Unborn baby Broke|Brian]] still demanding attention, Dustin wonders how Brandi finds the time for him.
"Mom? If you were stuck between two guys but you were scared to hurt either of their feelings, what would you do?" he found himself asking, If he couldn't ask Skip, he could ask Brandi.
"Hmmm, I sense you really mean two girls? But what I would do is I'd go with the one I connect with the most, hurting the other's feelings is difficult to do but it's kinder than leading them on when you don't like them as much as you want to." Brandi's advice was surprisingly profound, but Dustin wanted to like Angela in that way and no matter what wanted to be her friend, but the night before with Lilith proved to him that he still had that connection with her he had before. Dustin knew whatever happened it would hurt Angela, whether she found out from him or the mystery party guest who caught them, but maybe it would be kinder to find out from him. Dustin texted Lilith.
"''Yo Lil, i think we should tell her before whoever saw us does, also i need to talk to u - D''" Suprisingly, Lilith texted back within about 10 seconds.
"''Wat! R U Crazy? We hav to keep their mouth shut, Ang will kill me, literally probs. - L''" Dustin saw how worried Lilith was about Angela finding out, but no matter what she was going to eventually, Dustin couldn't keep this inside forever.
''8:39''''am, Pleasantview Community High School''
Lilith was on her usual bench outside the school, the bell wasn't going to ring for another 21 minutes, she had some time to talk to Dustin. Dirk walked past and gave Lilith a dirty look, Lilith smiled back at him, wondering what his problem was. Then she noticed he was approaching Angela and her friends, then she noticed he was telling her something, then she noticed Angela's face getting angrier and angrier. Oh no, not Dirk. Of all people who could have seen what happened, not Dirk! Angela, Meadow, and Tosha all looked at Lilith, and she felt herself sink into the wooden bench. Angela yelled out some words that Lilith wouldn't even dream of saying, and charged for her, Meadow, Tosha, and Dirk all trying to hold Angela back. Eventually she broke free and slapped Lilith. Lilith felt the anger behind the force of Angela's slap, and fell to the ground. Dustin came running over and pulled Lilith up.
"Are you okay Lil?" he asked with concern as he helped her up, he briefly examined the red hand mark on her face.
"Oh of course! You want to know if SHE's okay, but not the girl you cheated on?!" Angela yelled at Dustin. Dustin sank in his spot next to Lilith. Dirk came charging up to Lilith.
"I can't believe you Lilith, you and I broke up only a month ago because you weren't ready to go to the next step, but it looked like you were completely ready to go to the next step with him!" Dirk pointed at Dustin with disgust, and Dustin's anger level rose to a whole new high.
"It was YOU? You're dead Dreamer!" Dustin threw a punch, knocking Dirk to the ground. Lilith grabbed onto Dustin's shoulder and held him back from doing anything else. Angela saw red once again and shoved Lilith. The bell rang and [[Andrea Hogan|Mrs. Hogan]] called over to the fighting teens.
"Dreamer, Broke, and both the Pleasants! My office, now!"
''Will continue later.''
