I was in my highschool news/Tv class and i really wanted to write this story. There will be more chapters. It is a little slow to start but we will get somewhere.. i just need to plan it out :)

It was any ordinary day at Atlantic High School. There was 20 Minutes till the Homeroom bell rang but to the small group of students in Homeroom 100 that meant show time.

Mr. Skinner was an older man who wore a bow tie everyday. He taught the TV Production classes during the day and in the morning advised the advance TV class during the morning announcements.

The students start to file in from the hallway. They get their stuff organized and start warming up the studio. The advance class does everything by themselves. They run the equipment, write the script and edit the packages that go into the 5-minute show.

It may not seem like much to the rest of the school but to the small group kids that do run the show it means the world to them.

Maggie and Don walked into the studio arguing about something silly that happened on the drive to school. Everyone noticed something was off so both Don and Maggie walked in the corner to continue their argument.

"Maggie, I just don't see why it is so important that I drive you to school everyday."

"Don maybe it means a little more then just getting a free ride with you. There are very few times during the day we get to see each other and I thought on the ride to and from school it would be nice to spend it together," Maggie crossed her arms.

"Maggie, we spend half the day together. I don't see why it is such a big deal."

"Don I find it to be a big deal because we happen to be dating and that's what people do in relationships. They drive together. Do you want me to find a new ride to school?"

"Yeah maybe you should find a new ride to school for a while so you can realize it is not a big deal."

"Fine. Hey Jim," Maggie yelled to the other side of the studio.

"Yes," Jim replied not understanding what was going on.

"Maggie no," Don pleaded

"No don!" Maggie turned back Jim. " Do you mind if I ride with you and Neal in the morning on the way to school?"

"Ahh umm."

Sloan hit Jim in the shoulder

"Yea, Yes, sure."

"Thanks Jim," Maggie walked away to the control room.

"Maggie this isn't over," Don followed her but gave up and went in to see Mr. Skinner.

Jim and Sloan continued to talk in the corner.

"What did I do? Don is going to kill me. I am the new guy basically I cant just be doing stuff like that," Jim put his hands on his face.

"Jim you have been here for a year and half now. You are no longer the new guy," Sloan put her hand on this shoulder.

"I guess your right. Have you heard from Mackenzie? She didn't text me this morning and shes normally the first one here," Jim looked around the room.

"Now that you mention it I haven't seen her or heard from her. And where is Will?"

"No idea."

They both decided to ask Mr. Skinner if he knew anything.

As Jim and Sloan walked into Mr. Skinners office while Don was still in there.

"Hey Mr. Skinner have you heard or seen from Mackenzie or Will. It is only 10 minutes until the bell and they still aren't here yet," Sloan looked at Don and smiled when she was done speaking.

"No I haven't so incase they aren't here Sloan you will do the news by yourself and Jim you will take Mackenzie's spot as director and get the studio all set up. Don I want you switching the show if Jim isn't and Neal will do audio and Maggie will run the teleprompter. Kendra and Tess on Camera 1 and 3 and Gary can just hold the wide shot. But if they do show up do the normal set up. Okay Jim?" He looked straight into a very nervous Jims eyes.

"Yes sir," he shook his head.

"Okay now go," He waved them out of the office. "Don?"

"Yes sir?" He turned back at Mr. Skinner.

"Will you be okay?"

"Yea I will be fine."

"Alright now lets make this a good show."

"Yes sir."

Mr. Skinner sat down to check some more emails. Don left his office and walked into the studio where Jim was reassigning jobs.

"Is everyone good with that," Jim looked out to everyone around him then giving one last glance to the door hoping Mackenzie would walk in.

He looked back down at the script that he printed out from teleprompter that normally gets updating the night before.

"What is everyone standing around for," A voice from the door said.

Jim looked up with the biggest grin on his face.

"Thank God you're here! I was getting very nervous and everyone had to move jobs. I was ready to pull Elliott back from his class president homeroom to help with the show."

"Oh Jim there is no need for that. I'm here now so breathe and please get everyone is the right spot's," She turned to Neal, " Neal can you please give Sloan new batteries in her mic. Also the levels were a little low yesterday. Either you need to raise the masters or tell Jim to raise his on the tri-caster," She took a deep breath and walked in to the control room.

"Where is Will," she whispered under her breath. Little did she know that Sloan was standing behind her.

"Jim and I thought you were with Will," She dropped her Mic down her blouse.

"No! Why would you say that!" She looked down and bit her lip.

"Kenzie everyone knows."

"Knows what nothing happened the other night. Except that creepy Brian kept coming up to me."

"Hey you are lucky not every girl has 2 amazingly hot guys coming after them."

"Yeah and you can have them both," She turned back to the preview screen. "Now get out there so we can get a sound level.

Really Mackenzie wanted Will. More then anything she wanted him. He was the one guy she wouldn't let Sloan take from her.

"Mackenzie where do you want me today!" Maggie walked up to Mac.

"Can you switch us live today. No one seems to know how except for me and you."

"Okay," Maggie turned around not all that excited with her job.

"What's wrong Maggie?" Mac noticed something was off.

"Nothing ill tell you at lunch."

"Okay," Mackenzie smiled and turned back to headset and placed it on her head. " Kendra, Tess, Gary can you all here me?"

She received a yes from all 3.

"Okay, focus your shots and stand by."

Don was on teleprompter; Jim was switching the show and had the graphics all done by joey the night before, Sloan was in her anchor chair, Maggie was in the backroom ready to switch the show live to the school, Neal was on audio, and Will was no where to be found.

Mr. Skinner stepped out of his office and the bell for Homeroom rang. He gave Mac a nod threw the window that connects the studio to the control room.

"3,2,1 record show, roll opener. Cameras steady. Fade out to camera 2 and open mic 1 and que talent."

The show went off went really well considering Sloan had to do it all by herself. They only changed shots in between full screen graphics. The 5-minute show delivered the club meetings, volunteer opportunities, sport teams victories, and the iTunes hit of the week, and the SAT word of the day. There was not much of a Varity that could be done every week but they still loved to do it everyday.

"Mackenzie in my office," Mr. Skinner called from studio.

Mac walked out of the control room with a pile of papers in her hands.

"Mac, where were you. Poor Jim almost had a heart attack without you."

"I'm sorry Mr. Skinner but I had a lead of something for the Newspaper."

"The Newspaper? When did you start writing for the newspaper?" Mr. Skinner put his hands on his head. " And where the Hell is Will?"

"Will… I don't know but the newspaper is the only chance I can really write about the news in the town or the school. The announcements are just the same old thing. Believe me Mr. Skinner I will never work in print I promise."

"I know you wont and I guess it will do you some good. If you want to learn everything about the news then I guess you should explore all mediums."

"Right," Mackenzie smiled. " Is that all Mr. Skinner?"

"I guess so," He peered at her. " What is this story about? You wouldn't have almost missed the morning announcements for just anything. "

"Oh it isn't just anything. But I can't say just yet."

"Be careful and find Will!"

"Yes Sir," She smiled and turned around and walked out the office to her bag.

As she walked out of the studio and entered the hallway the hustle and bustle of people always annoyed her. Her first class was English and dreaded going because Brian also had English with her. She had been trying to avoid him because of what happened last week at Will's bon fire party. At least Sloan is also in English with them or Mackenzie might have had to skip.

Mackenzies phone beep from her pocket.

"Hey its me Will. Sorry I'm not in yet. Had trouble at home."

Oh will she thought to herself. If only he would let her in. She actually really cared for him but once again Brain interfered and messed everything. It was a miracle to actually get a nice text from Will after what happened last weekend.

Her phone beeped again.

"That was meant for Mr. Skinner sorry."

"I guess Will is still angry," She mumbled under her breath.

"Will? What about him," Brian bit into his apple.

"Go away Brian I don't have anything to say to you."

"Oh I don't think that's true," He stepped in front of her and put his hand on the wall next to them.

"Brain," Mackenzie tried to walk around him but he grabbed her and put his hand on her shoulder so she couldn't walk away from him.

His amazing brown hair and cute glasses made him almost irresistible. He wore these awesome jackets and his little beard drove her crazy. He might have been annoying but he had this way of making her feel special until she thought of Will.

"See you were thinking about it," Brian joked.

"What was I thinking, because the only thing I was thinking about was a few select words I would love to say to you," She tried pushing away.

"Our little kiss we shared last weekend," He dragged his finger on her nose. " You're so British."

"I'm American," Mac broke free and walked up the hallway some more.

"Explain the accent," he ran after her.

"How many time do I need to explain it to you. I was born here then my family went back to England. 2 years ago my family was sent back," She caused a scene in the middle of the hallway.

"Kenzie," Sloan ran toward them and scooped her under her arm and walked away with Mac. " Just leave her alone Brain!"

Brian just stood there shaking his head. "She'll change her mind," he yelled.

"I can't go to class today. I'm not going to class today," Mackenzie stopped in a small empty hallway.

"Mac you can't just skip," Sloan crossed her arms in front of her.

"Sure she can."

Mackenzie and Sloan both looked up. Will was standing in the doorway. His blonde hair was a mess and he had his black leather jacket on and jeans. Come on let's get out of here.

"Will…"

"Come on!"

"Ummm," Mackenzie thought about it.

"Kenzie!" don't…

"Mac ill have you back by the end of the day," Will opened the door and smiled.

"Kenzie do you know how much trouble you can get in," Sloan tried everything to get her to say.

Mac gave her books to Sloan and walked toward Will.

"I'm sorry. I have to go."

"Have fun at school Sloan," Will put his arm around Mac and they walked out the door.
