This is going to be my first fic that isn't a one-shot, although I am still working on those. This is a story about Jo and Zane in High School before Eureka, although they are mentions of some of the characters. Hope you enjoy!!!

Jo was getting ready for another boring day of High School. As usual she would take a shower and choose a random outfit that was nothing special. Normally jeans and a shirt.

"Jo, breakfast is ready." (A/N Jo is living with her brothers and I am making up their names since they don't say in the show) Her brother Charlie called from downstairs.

Jo sighed and ran down the stairs. If she had her way she would stay home from school and play hockey with her brothers. But no, she had to go to school. No one liked her, she had only one friend. Jack.

"Morning guys." She said.

"Morning." Charlie and Alex said.

"Morning Josefina." Her other brother said. Jo leaned over and smacked him on the arm. She hated in when anyone called her Josefina.

"I'm going to school." She said and left the house. It was a short walk to school.

Lakeside High School was big, and there were tons of kids but none of them seemed to notice Jo.

"Hey Lupo." Jo turned around her best friend Jack was behind her.

"Carter." She said smiling.

They called each other by their last names a lot, everyone thought it was weird.

"Ready for another day of High School hell?" Jo asked.

"Nope." Carter said shaking his head.

They walked into the school talking about what colleges they were thinking about going to. Then someone bumped into Jo, she looked around and saw a guy with messy and kind of spiky brown hair, and he smiled when he saw her.

"Sorry I didn't see you there."

"That's okay." She said and then smiled at him. She and Carter then continued walking. "Who was that?"

"No idea." He said, but he wasn't paying much attention to what Jo was saying. She followed his gaze and noticed that he was staring at Allison Blake and her boyfriend Nathan Stark. Jo knew that Jack had always liked her, and well just to say he doesn't get along well with Nathan.

"Jack." She said and waved one of her hands in front of his face. "JACK!"

"What?" He asked looking around. "Oh sorry I… was just…"

"Yeah I know." She said and smiled.

"So what were you saying?"

"I was asking if you know who that was?" She asked him again, hoping that maybe this time she would get an answer.

"I haven't seen him before I think he's knew." He said.

"Oh." Jo said and thought about how he bumped into her.

The bell rang and it was time for them to get to their class.

"See you later Josefina." Jack said and left as he left. Jo scowled in his direction as she headed to her first period class.

Jo absolutely hated English. She hated writing and explaining her thoughts about stupid books. Sitting down at her seat, she noticed a new boy in her class, it took her a moment to realize it was the guy who bumped into her in the hallway.

"Class we have a new student today." The teacher, Mr. Bracker said. "Zane Donovan. Zane why don't you have a seat next to Josefina."

"It's Jo." Jo said correcting her teacher for about the millionth time this year.

"Right have a seat next to Miss. Jo." He said emphasizing her name.

She noticed that Zane was smirking as he made his way over to her. She had to admit that he was kind of cute, and that was rare for Jo to think something like that.

"Hey." He said as he sat down.

"Hi." She said all of the sudden she was shy, and Jo was never shy. "So you're the one that bumped into me in the hallway."

"That would be me." HE said. "So you don't like Josefina?"

"No I hate it. Too girly." Jo explained, this was the longest conversation she had ever had with a guy other than Jack; she never talked to Nathan since he drove almost everyone crazy. Well then again there was Douglas; he was what you call a nerd.

"Hot." He mumbled. Jo blushed. She wasn't sure what to say.

"So where did you come from?"

"Well I got kicked out of my other High School." Jo raised an eyebrow. "I was accused of stealing."

"And did you?"

"Well…" Zane trailed off as Mr. Bracker started talking again.

"Okay class today we are going to be reading from our books and doing some partner work." He said then looked at Jo, "Jo would catch Zane up on some of the reading."

"Sure." Jo said and then shot a quick glance at Zane. She was more than happy to help him.

Wow that was really fun to write. I used characters from the show but obviously they aren't in Eureka and they are in High School. So what did y'all think? I know this chapter was short but more will come as often as I can. PLEASE PLEASE REVIEW!!!! It will help me write more!!!
