Hey! It's chapter 1! I know, I know, I was supposed to do submit this like yesterday, but I have a good excuse!

Kind of. Well you see, monday I had volleyball, and had to clean the house. Then, yesterday I had volleyball, then went out to lunch, then went to the beach, and then made/had dinner. Sorry! I erally hope you like it, I hope to update the second chapter ASAP. Like maybe Saturday? You see, my BFFL is going to Italy like this week, and I won't see her for like 2 weeks. THE AGONY! So, I'll have to like go boating or something with her, and that cuts down my time by alot. And I have to spend time with the Italian kid that is visiting her. So, yah. Anyways, anough of my excuses, read on! I hope you like it!

You could hear a pen drop. Nobody dared to speak as the principal paced infront of the lines and lines of students. They were in stiff, straight lines. Sorted by grade, then last name. Cato was, naturally, near the middle, her last name being Laughlin. She shared a glance that said 'I told you that he was going to get in trouble for that one.' with a short girl that was sporting a black pixie cut, and a rebelious black nose piercing.

Let's get something straight first- Cato and Andromeda Rodgers were by no means what-so-ever friends. No, is you wanted to find friends, you would look to those two girls that were always giggling in the back of Pre-Calc together. You know who they are. Cato and Andy (as she much prefered to be called) called themselves 'Strangers with Benefits'. No, not that way you perverted wierdos. A Stranger with Benefits (or at least, in this context) is the person you pair up with in lab class because you don't have another friend in that class. They are the person you bet with, the person you occasionally exchange awkward conversations with and despite the fact that you spend about an hour a day with them, you know nothing about them.

This time, they had bet on whether or not Hunter Greene would get caught for replacing Ms. Ursa's coffee with formaldehyde, that gross stuff used to preserve dead frogs. Cato must admit, she had it coming for her.

Andy just rolled her eyes, and gestured to tell Cato to look back at the front of the room.

"Are you sure there was nobody else in on this?" The principal glared at the lines of student standing stiffly in perfect formation.

Hunter's eye's snapped over to the line of 10th graders and Cato felt a sinking feeling in her chest.

"So there was!" Principal Moore took a step closer to the boy and he flinched.

The boy muttered something under his breath, and Principal Moore rose an eyebrow.

"Louder, boy!"

"J-Josh Summers." Just about every 10th grader gasped. There was no way in hell that Josh Summers would do such a thing. Andy looked over to Cato, who looked over to Josh's twin Grace, who looked over to Josh.

The poor boy was turning slightly pale, standing stiffly still. We all looked back to the front of the room, and Principal Moore called out;

"Joshua Summers! Step out of formation!" He stepped to the left, away and out of the line. Hunter Greene just smirked, and watched as Principal Moore started walking to the boy, till they were nose to nose.

"You just let your partner-in-crime take all the shame and embarassment by himself?" She asked softly so that only Josh and the people in a small radius could hear her.

"But I-" Josh protested, his green eyes shining slightly in rebellion. Normally Joshua Summers was not much of a trouble maker. He was a very light hearted person, and outgoing. One thing that was known throughout most of the school that Hunter absolutely dispised Josh. Everyone knew that, so it was not really surprising that Hunter was dragging Josh into this. Grace, turned to look at the teachers in the back of the room, hoping that one would protest. Some where obviously putting two and two together, realising Josh did nothing. Grace turned back to the principal, absolute hate burning in her bright green eyes.

"You!" The principal pointed a thin gnarled finger to Cato. Her sea foam green eys widened into perfect circles, as wide as saucers.

"M-Me?" She stuttered, her face in a mixture of surprise and fear.

"You. Take both of these boys to the front office where I will deal with them." Principal Moore also signaled to Mr. Corals, the biology techer to go with them.

Grace exchanged glances with her best friends, telling her to not worry about it, but try to figure out what was going to happen.

Cato gave Grace a slight nod, and started walking out of the room. After the door closed shut, Principal Moore started pacing, then halted on the right side of the room.

"THIS is NOT the behavior that students in Frayed! I expect that we have ALL learned from this. Frayed Military Acadamy will NOT tolerate trouble makers! If any of you step one TOE out of line, I will make sure you pay. Break." Her voice was loud and raspy in the first place, but yelling just made it worse and much more inhumane. We all filed out, then to scatter to our own respectable dorm rooms.

Meanwhile, Cato was walking inbetween both boys, and Mr. Coral was walking behind them.

"Why'd you do that?" Josh asked, his voice creepily monotone.

"We can't all have perfect files." Hunter answered.

"We can't? Hey, Cato do you have a perfect file?" Josh turned his attention to the blonde walking inbetween them.

"No." Cato didn't elaborate, and kept her eyes on the end of the hallway.

"What?! What did you do?" Hunter asked, pretending to be shocked.

"Don't even try that, Greene." She replied curtly. Hunter just chuckled, and mouthed 'Uptight' to Josh.

"Shut the ef up Hunter." He was starting to get frustrated.

"Aw, if poor ickle Joshie Poo getting angwy?" Hunter mocked, laughing out loud at his own attempt of pushing Josh's buttons.

"Greene, seriously it would help everybody if you just shut up." Cato kept her eyes on the principal's office's door.

"Do I care?" Hunter rolled his eyes. Cato quickened her pace so that the other people would have to jog somewhat to keep up. She then halted at the door and waited for Mr. Coral to unlock the door. Josh went in first and took in the office. Principal Moore's desk was pushed into the corner, where a moose head hung from the wall. The door had a dart board and a few scrubby couches were scatterd around the room. It smelled suspiciously like Eau de Cologne and wet dog. Mr. Coral went in after the boys and told Cato to go to her dorm.

The door slammed in her face and she rolled her eyes, walking back down the hallway heading to her dorm room. She shared it with Grace, Andy and a girl called Hannah and when she entered she found Grace pacing, Andy not even in the room and Hannah passed out (sleeping) on her bunk. Grace stopped when Cato entered.

"Did you find out what they were going to get?" Her eyes were beady.

"I don't-" Cato started to say when the entire school filled with loud screams.

I wonder who that was... Haha JK. Just wondering, would you prefer the chapters be longer (like 2k words) or shorter (1k words)? Review to tell me!

Also, if someone would like to try to make a cover image for me (I can't draw) I would love you! Just PM me susanagracee!
