Alright, this is my first fanfiction story ever, so don't be too harsh. Read it and give me some feedback please.

It was a new year at Cascadia. Finally, school had begun. Most of the students dreaded the holidays. It meant less time with their friends, and crazy adventures, and more time with their annoying, obnoxious families. Not one student in particular though…

"Dad! I really don't want to go right now. Can't we go and spend a few more days with mom back in Montreal?"

"No, Cody you know that you have to go to school. Even if you want a few days more of vacation," Mr. Myers replied one last time.

Cody knew that her fathers mind was made up. She grabbed her back, and her camera (like always), and headed off to class, where she would meet up with her friends.

When Cody arrived in class, she received a warm welcome from her friends.

"Hey Cody!" Adena and Tanis said in unison.

"Hey," said Cameron in his usual tone. Sounding neither excited nor depressed.

"Hey, how was your summer?" asked a familiar voice.

…Squib. Ever since the breakup, Cody always felt awkward around him. She obviously still had feelings for him, but she could never tell what was going on in Squibs head. He was either extremely happy, or deeply depressed. He was such a moody young man; couldn't he ever be a little bit obvious with his feelings? That was one question that Cody thought that she would never get the answer to. But, who knows, it was a new year after all.

"Cody…you there?" Squib asked, waving his hand in front of Cody's face. Once he snapped his fingers, she was out of her trance like state.

"Oh…sorry," Cody embarrassingly replied. "My summer… My family and I had a lot of good times, you know, catching up and all. I think I'm going to miss them a lot this year."

"Come on Cody, you're hanging out with group A again," Adena was happily smiling.

She was right… she was hanging out with the A group again. That meant that she would most likely be the tennis outcast, the friend that everybody turned to in time of need, but never the less, the outcast. It didn't really feel right still, going to a tennis academy instead of a regular school. But she was adjusting, and becoming more comfortable there as each day passed.

"How about you Squib?" Cam chimed in after the awkward silence.

"Boring, as usual. Just tried to work on my game, and stay out of the house. How about you guys?"

"Same," Adena and Tanis said rather unenthusiastically.

"Went to some business meetings with my dad, the usual," replied Cameron smoothly.

"So it sounds like only city girl had a good vacation." Squib smirked as he said this. Cody just blushed, and looked away.

She loved being called city girl. It reminded her of when they had all become good friends at first…with Sebastian and Meghan. She seemed like she was beginning to forget about two of the closest friends she ever had. She had kept her feelings bottled up for years. Only letting them out with her friends a few times after their deaths. She wondered if it made her a bad person, to be thinking less about them each day. Sometimes she wouldn't think about them for weeks at a time…until it hit her.

"BRRRRING" The school bell made her jump, as she realized that she was sitting in class daydreaming. This was the second time she had her mind float off somewhere else, and class hadn't even started. It was going to be a long day.

After class was over, Cody tried to walk home rather quickly, hoping to avoid any more socializing for the day. She didn't want to seem mean, but she just wasn't in the mood for talking to anybody today.

"Now where is that girl off to?" Squib thought to himself. He had no idea what was going on with her today. Seeming quiet and distant from the group normally didn't happen with her, that was more of his thing to do. Deciding something was wrong; he quickly ran and caught up to her.

"Hey Cody, you seem kind of off today…wanna talk?"

"What do you mean? I'm fine," Cody lied to both Squib and herself.

"Well, it's just that… you kind of seemed distant from us today."

"Oh, that. My mind was just elsewhere. It has been an exciting summer. I guess it's just the coming back to school that has me flustered already. I should be fine once I re-adjust."

"Alright" said Squib rather doubtingly. "But if you ever need to talk…"

"I'll know where to find you." Cody finished his sentence for him, and smiled. Squib smiled back, and retreated back to his dorm.

Cody let out a sigh of relief. She didn't want to talk with anyone right now. Squib especially. She was thinking about things that brought up a lot of emotions, and she believed that Squib would be the hardest one to talk to about that. "Where's Adena when you need her?" Cody said to herself. Deciding it wasn't best to go and find her right now, she went back to her house, away from group A.

Alright, well that was my first chapter of my first story on fanfiction! Wow… I hoped you all liked it. I decided to bring up some of her past thoughts about Sebastian and Meghan. This doesn't really seem like the Cody from the show, so I swerved it for ya! Hoped you like it. Read and Review. Next chapter should be up sometime in the next week. I will attempt to do a chapter a week minimum until the story is finished. Please review, and again, hoped you liked it. ) (and yes, I know it's kind of short, but I can't put a ton into chapters… It just seems… odd.
