And just so we're clear, this is the years that they are all in:

Freshman: Alison, April

Junior: Mark, Angel

Senior: Joanne, Collins, Roger

Chapter One:

"Mom, I have to go! Can you please stop?" Mark complained, running a scrawny hand through his hair. His mother looked at him reproachfully, then smiled warmly. "First day of school, remember?" He reminded her, grabbing his backpack. She nodded her head.

"Oh, I forgot. You're a junior now. Be sure to make some friends!" She encouraged after him as he speed-walked outside of his front door and climbed onto his bike. Then, he quickly got off and sprinted inside, and came back out with a mini video camera. He carefully placed it in his backpack and started pedaling to school.

"Maureen! Lets go! You have school!" Her father shouted, pounding on her bedroom door. Maureen reluctantly rolled out of bed. Literally. She barely noticed when her head hit the side of her bed, and she slowley got onto her feet. Going through her closet, she picked out a black tank with a red leather jacket over it, and white shorts. She applied green converse to her feet, andpulled her hair up in a low tail. She threw in a make up kit into her bag and made her way downstairs. Grabbing a peice of toast, she said good-bye to her parents and took a five minute walk to school. She smiled as she recieved stares from her fellow classmates, who smiled in return. Yeah, this was going to be a good year.

He grabbed his car keys and tiredly went out to his car, throwing his guitar case in the back seat and setting the engine on. The drive from his house to the school wasn't as far as he'd hoped, but it was enough to let him get in a few songs before he'd arrived. As he drove by, he saw a petite girl, who had short, spiky, reddish/orange hair. She smiled at him as he stared, waiting at a redlight. Alongside her was a taller girl, with blonde, shoulder length hair. She was about a foot taller than the other girl, and had the longest legs he had ever seen. "Who are they?" He asked, as they walked across the street in front of him.

"April Ericcson and Alison Grey. Freshman." Roger looked over and saw a tall, muscular black boy in the car beside his. He wore a black beanie, and had little stubble growing on his face. "Names Collins. Tom Collins." He reached a hand to shake Rogers, and he shook politley. "Roger, right?"

"Yeah. Davis." Then the light turned green, and the two were off, Roger's mind still on the April girl.

"Angel!" Mimi squealed, running into the school building and embracing her best friend.

"Hey honey!" He was a she today. "Let me see your schedual." She encouraged, opening her locker. Mimi reached into her back pocket and pulled out a folded peice of paper, and handed it to the smiling Latina. Angel unfolded it quickly and read it over.

Mimi's Schedual:

Period 1: Math (Acc)...Mrs. Milana

Period 2: Dance...Mrs. Ahern

Period 3: Science...Mr. Klang

Period 4: Computer Works...Mr. Russo

Period 5: Spanish...Sr. Luzzi

Period 6: LUNCH

Period 7: Social Studies...Mr. Rule

Period 8: English...Ms. Skolnik

Period 9: Study Hall...Mr. Keen

"Ohh you've got periods one, five, six, and nine with me!" Angel squealed, beaming. Mimi smiled and took back her schedual. She opened up her locker, which was convienintly beneath Angel's, and shoved her dance bag inside it. Then, a bulky, black boy made his way towards Mimi. She rolled her eyes and tried to hide behind Angel. "What's wrong, chica? Don't you like Benny anymore?" Angel asked, turning to face her.

"Well, yeah, but he's so clingy. I mean, we're friends and all, but I think he still thinks we're like...you know." She made motions with her hands. Angel nodded her head understandingly.

"Hey Meems." Benny smiled, carelessly putting an arm over her shoulders. She laughed nervously, not making eye contact with him. The bell rang right then and there. "Ah, gotta go. See ya later, babe." He kissed her lightly on the lips, and walked away. Mimi twitched.

"Babe? We aren't dating!" She yelled after him, but it was hopeless. She and Angel linked arms and went to their first class.
