High School! *no spaces left*

Jack Black:

I gave him a wide grin and said "Wanna bet?" I asked.

Lucas stood up straight but I was still a little taller than him.

"You know what?" He said "Yeah, I wanna bet."

I nodded "Fine." Then I quickly added "But I'm not betting materialistic things. I don't gamble. I'll play the game but I won't give or take anything. I play for pure satisfaction. That good with you?"

Rachel

"Well, he looks at me with those... piercing eyes, you know. Like the time when we were late during our Math class. He seemed to be angry at me or something like that.” Thomas explains. I didn't see that. But I don't know, I could be a little oblivious sometimes.

"I don't know. Maybe he is just being stupid. Maybe you imagined it..I don't know!" I say. I had no idea, why would he look at Thomas like that? What was Conner thinking?

"I don't know, it looked pretty real to me."

"What would any guy want anything to do with me anyway?" I say. As far as I was concerned, there was absolutely no reason for any guy to like me. I had accepted it a while ago, but it still was kind of hard to think about.

LUCAS

"Fine by me, I don't have much materialism anyways." I said.

"So what man? Your betting me I don't know nothing about you. So I don't now, but I sure can find out." said Jack.

The way he put it made it sound kind of dumb... in a way it really was. Did I really want people here to know everything? What happened to the "fresh start" my parents had planned for me? "No I was btting you don't know anything about me, but look man, nevermind. Forget it. I don't really care about what you you know or what you can find out." I said, hoping he would just drop it. He didn't.

He shook his head, "No way, you challenged me, I took it, no recalls. Sorry, that's the way I play."

Damn it, another school down the drain.

Jack Black:

With that settled i called across the room to the teacher "Hey teach. I kind of accidently picked up two chemicals then accidently dumped all of their contents into the beaker. And then I accidently dumped a third chemical into it. The somehow it start fizzing and it's all over the table." I glanced down and added "And the floor. But I have no idea how it happened." I said all of this like an innocent kid who actually did accidently mix the wrong chemicals together.

~Emma~

I looked across the desk in alarm. Were chemicals supposed to do that? Well, I was pretty sure they weren't supposed to fizz that crazily in a school science lab; it looked more like something from a mad scientist's lab. I shifted away slightly.

The new boy next to the spillage guy was practically in hysterics. I met chemical boy's -Jack's?- eyes with a nervous expression and he grinned back mischieviously.

"Nothing to be afraid of," he whispered. "I know what I'm doing. Sorta." By this time a pretty distressed looking teacher had come over to sort the mess out, and Jack resumed his innocent expression. I stared at the scene in silence, completely bewildered.

Is it okay if I end the lessons for the day? Mainly because I've been away for a few days and I'm completely lost.

Liam

Whistling cheerfully to myself, I left the Science classroom. Lessons were over for the day. Unlike many other kids, I wasn't overly happy about it. That Science lesson had been rather entertaining. There was some guy with a cigarette; he seemed to be pissing off that Lucas kid. That was pretty entertaining.

We all had to go to our dorms now, get settled in apparently. It was rather pointless though considering I'd been coming to this school for a few years now. I was rather interested in seeing who my roommates were though. With any luck, they'd be pretty easy on the eye. As I strolled down the hallway, I noticed Oscar Williams a few yards ahead of me.

"Hey!" I called to him as I jogged over to his direction. "You got the dorm list?"

"Uh, yeah." He replied, diving his hand into his bag. "Here,"

Oscar smiled as he handed me a sheet of crumpled paper. I was given a dorm sheet, I'd just used it to wipe up a drink I'd spilt at lunchtime. I hadn't bothered to take a look at it. Go figure.

"Looks like it's me, you, Oliver and Connor." I said, giving him back the paper. "Should be fun."

I winked at him as we both continued to walk. He seemed rather awkward. Mind you, a guy had just winked at him in a flirtatious way. Ah well, what could I say? He was quite hot. Sharing a room with him wouldn't be too hard.

**Sorry guys, I was at Boy Scout Camp with my best friend and her brothers (: It was surprisingly lots of fun, just really hot and sticky from the humidity lol(:**

Connor

Connor rubbed the back of his neck as he rounded the corner, two cheerleaders named Stacy and Lacie on his sides, and two guys on his football team, Lance and Hunter, walking behind him. "Sooo," Lance drew out, "How many of you guys noticed the new girl?" Connor just looked back at Lance through the corner of his eye.

"New girl?" Lacie asked, turning around. "Is she trying out for cheer?" A little hopefullness hinted in her voice.

"Nah, she's a singer of some sort." Hunter snorted, looking at Connor right as they passed the chorus room.

"What about you Con-meister?" Stacy smiled up, using her little nickname.

"She's cute, and has an amazing voice, but... she's just a little..." He couldn't find the right words. Everything about that girl was... mesmerizing. What he wanted to say was, 'She's just a little too perfect.' However, he settled for, "She's just a little weird." He sighed, shaking his head with a scowl.

Rachel

Eventually, choir practice ends, and we get to go to the dorms. The choir director gives me approving looks, and I smile. It was nice to do something right for once.

I wave goodbye to Thomas, and walk down the hall. I sing the new part of the song to myself, trying to get it right.

Turtledoves and second spring
Golden Clouds
And silver wings
What my life was made of
Before you came along

I realize I have the rhythm off again, and frown. This was getting more than slightly annoying. I sit on a bench by the music room, take out the music, and try again. After a try or two, I get it right.

Then I notice someone has been standing there the whole time.

Jack Black:

I let out a booming laugh the filled the hallway when I saw the dorm listing. I was with that one kid Lucas. "This is going to be a hilarious year."

Hey! Can someone bring me in? I feel awful pushed out of the SB and I am so bored.

Oliver

I go and walk up to Jamie, one of my few friends.

"Hey, Jaime, guess what?" I ask.

"What?" She says quietly.

"I hear that the play tryouts are next week."

"Oh, that's nice."

"Come on, Jaime. You got to be a little more excited than that. Just picture it, yours truly in the spotlight, playing opposite some pretty, talented girl. You know, you should try out."

"Me?" She asks. I nod.

*thank you!*

Jamie:

"Me?" I asks. He nodded. "But I can't sing or dance." I muttered sadly.

"Can't you at least try out?"he asked me.

I sighed, "I can try, but I tell you that I can't do anything to save my life."

He just shrugged his shoulders. "That's okay."

What's with this dude? I thought to myself.

Connor!

Connor raised his eyebrows at Rachel's surpised expression. "Having fun?" He smiled, humor evident in his voice, even if he had been enjoying her song. She, still looking surprised, nodded, slowly, and finally smiled. God that smile...

"Yeah, I was actually. I hope I didn't sound to bad for you." Connor smirked cutely.

"No, not at all. It was great." Rachel laughed nervously, and Connor grinned, standing up from his chair before walking over.

"What're you doing here?" Rachel questioned, sounding more sincere than snobby, which was probably what it would have sounded like had anyone else said it to Connor. He smiled sweetly, looking down at her from his towering height.

"I like coming here, and listening to the music. Nobody usually notices as long as I'm quiet." He grinned cheekily.

Rachel

Conner smiles, and my heart misses a beat.

"Well, I am done anyway. I have to go." I say, shoving all my music in the bag. A sheet drops. I lean over to pick it up, but Conner does at the same time. When we both look up, our faces are inches from each other.

I, on impulse, pull back. I put the sheet in my bag, then stand up. I feel the heat rush to my cheeks, and avoid meeting his eyes.

"See you around." I say. I give a wave, and half-smile.

"Wait, Rachel." Conner says. I turn around.

"Yeah?"

"Never mind, see you around." He says. I shrug, and walk towards my dorm.

Oliver

I shrug my shoulders. "That's okay."

I lean a little closer to her, "I hear there's going to be a party tonight. Hosted by his majesty Conner."

"Where?"

"In his dorm." I say with an eye roll.

"Are you invited?"

"Of course, Jaime. I think I'll bring you along." I put one of my arms around her, "We can dance under the fake moonlight." I say, slowly moving my hand, outstretched, in front of me.

"Your unbelievable." She murmurs.
