Opposites Attract

Chapter One - Typical Rivalry, And A New Friend

SVS: Here ya go all you crazy Jamie and Coop fans out there! With the help of SnowChaser, i've successfully created an ideal build up of Coop and Jamie's friendship!

Coop: She doesn't own Megas! I do!

SVS: Coop!

Coop: Hehehe...anyway. She does own Courtney and her friends.

SVS: Coop!

Coop: What!

SVS: UGH! Let's just get on with the fic, alright!

" Coop, sweetie! "

" Yeah, Mom!? "

" You forgot your Lunch! "

Young Coop heaved a sigh as he headed back to the door at a fast pace. School always came as a burden to him, boring him to no end.

Mrs. Cooplowski beamed as her portly son grabbed the paper bag from her grasp. " You have a nice day at school! And no fights! "

He groaned, squinting his eyes in disgust as she kissed him on the cheek in front of all the kids on the bus. Coop didn't dislike his Mother, he just despised being humiliated in front of the entire Jersey populous.

She let him go, waving in farewell as he stepped up the bus steps. " Bye, Coopie kins! "

He groaned once again, relieved as the glass door slid shut behind him. He continued down the aisle, spotting the last spot that was actually available. It was a spot next to someone he didn't know. It must have been the new kid.

Coop shrugged, his outgoing personality driving him toward the available seat. " Can I sit here, kid? "

The new kid nodded, only glancing at Coop for a second before he turned his pale face back toward the window.

Coop sat down carefully and as if on cue, the Bus started moving. Laying his head back, he allowed himself to enjoy the comforting noise of the moving bus. Those sorts of sounds always seemed to intrigue him. Ever since he could count he'd loved cars, and his Father happened to be a mechanic. Bored, Coop began to observe the boy next to him.

This kid was probably about his height by the looks of it, maybe a tad bit shorter. His jet black hair flew in several different directions in an odd shaggy style. He wore wide geeky glasses that made his dark eyes stick out like a sore thumb. In short terms, he appeared to be a nerd. And, like any typical bully hated nerds. Coop's appearance was anything but nerdy.

" So? You got a name, punk? "

The kid turned his head shyly, a pathetic expression on his pale face. " What? "

Coop repeated himself, annoyance in his voice. " I said, you got a name? "

Hesitating, the boy managed to answer the question without much difficulty, despite the fact he looked like he wanted to run and hide. " Jamie... "

" Ah! pretty name, nerd! "

Jamie flinched, staring back the window as if it was his savior. He'd just moved to Jersey, and already he was getting picked on.

Coop grinned in amusement, he could tell that tormenting this new kid was going to be fun. He just started and he already looked like he was going to pee his pants. " Nice glasses, are they for your eyes? Or do you need them to hide your tears! "

Jamie whined, his body shivering as he tried to scootch away from the blonde. He seemed completely defenseless.

" Coop! Leave him alone! "

Coop blinked, sneering as he came face to face with the most beautiful girl in the school. Ironically, he despised her more than anything. There were moments that she would seem attractive to him though. " Back off, Courtney... "

Courtney made a disgusted face, crossing her arms and standing up as the buss stopped. " You have no right to pick on 'em! I aint' backin' off! "

Coop turned away from her, shoving Jamie in the side as he got up from the seat and exited from the bus.

Courtney beamed at Jamie, her hazel eyes shimmering in the sun that came from the windows. She had short sun-blonde hair that curled at the bottom, and a tan complexion. She wore a preppy wardrobe, consisting of a pink shirt with a collar that extended to her shoulders and revealed skin. She also wore a blue jean skirt that folded like a fan, and pink high-heels. A wide smile was printed on her face in greeting. " Hi...I'm Courtney... "

Jamie hesitated as she raised a hand in front of him. He managed to shake it, following her out of the bus.

" What's your name? " she continued, skipping the last step and descending to the ground.

Jamie stuttered as he caught up, adjusting his glasses. " Uh...Jamie... "

Courtney giggled, placing her hand in front of her mouth cutely. " You're funny. Where you from? "

" New York City... " He replied, " My Dad got a job here in Jersey...s-s-s-so we had to move... "

" That must be a bummer...you must miss your friends... " she said, dodging students as she tried to get to the entrance.

Jamie shook his head. " Didn't have any ". He never had any friends, someone like Courtney was a rare occurance. Everyone was so proud and afraid to be seen around him, but she just walked up and started to speak with him...it was like some kind of miracle in his eyes.

" Look, Jamie... " Courtney spoke, stopping in front of her locker. She started to fidget with the combination, Jamie's hot breath against her neck. She turned back around to look at him once her locker door was open. " I think it would be best for you to stay far away from Coop... "

He studied her face in confusion, and remembered that Coop was what she called the bully back on the bus. " That bad? "

" Yes... " Courtney sighed, " That bad. He does it all the time. When a new kid comes along, he continues to tease him until they can't take it anymore. When that time comes, he beats 'em to a pulp. Trust me, you don't want that ".

" Is there some kind of bond between you two? " Jamie questioned, becoming a little more comfortable with talking to this blonde beauty.

She grabbed a book and two binders from inside the locker, quickly studying the mirror on the back of the locker door to make sure her hair was just right. " You could say that. We've known one another since grade school, middle school is no different... "

With that, she slammed her locker door shut. " See ya Jamie...your first class is Math, right? "

Jamie nodded, and watched her motion her hand towards a room nearby. " That's the place, and good luck...you'll need it! "

(Lunch)

" Hey Jamie! Over here! " Courtney shouted, waving her hands.

Jamie noticed, and shyly waved back as he noticed she was sitting with a wide group of popular kids. The girls in her group all seemed to dress similar to her, which made his realize something. She was a ' Trend Setter '. He had no problem with that, his problem was if her friends would tease her for hanging out with him.

She smiled as he sat down next to her, looking over at her other friends. There was three boys and two girls. " Guys...I'd like you to meet the new kid from NY City...Jamie! "

He faked a smile, scratching his neck with embarrassment. The one thing that he didn't enjoy about Courtney, was her perky attitude.

The three boys smiled, extending their hands for him to shake. He was a bit shocker at first, but decided to go along with it. " Hi guys... "

" This here is Gary... " Courtney giggled, pointing to the teenage boy on the far left.

" And this is Bridget... "

Bridget winked, her amber colored bangs falling over her face as she tried to brush them back.

" This is Jet... "

Jet remained emotionless, sneering and glaring back at another table. Jamie noticed that Jet just happened to be staring at another girl.

" Don't worry about him.. " Courtney whispered in Jamie's ear, " Jet's just a bit bummed because he got dissed by a girl ".

Jet overheard and growled, refusing to look anyone of them in the eye.

Courtney moved on, " This is Terrence. He's the son of Football Coach.. "

Terrence was busy stuffing his face, his fat cheeks filled with food. He smiled up at Jamie, crumbs coming from his mouth.

Courtney made a disgusted face and introduced the last person. " This is Snowie... "

Snowie sipped her soda and waved, sparkles in her eyes. " Nice to meetchya, Jamie... "

He grinned, adjusting his glasses. All these people seemed quite popular, he just felt a bit out of place. He was about to start eating, when something heavy hit the back of his head and caused him to collide with his food.

SVS: Cliffy! Yay! Read and Review! Hope you like my first attempt of OC's. They actually are necessary because they move it along, and give Jamie someone to converse with. Enjoy and no flames! Thanks!

Coop: Let's hope I beat up Jamie in the next Chappie!

SVS: COOP!!
