This is a CxC mainly story

It came to me one day and I really liked it so I hope you will too! The italicized things are things that Cornelia is thinking in her head, and I shall call it… Frankenstein! No I'm joking haha, but seriously I'll call it Alternate Cornelia World, or ACW. Enjoi!

Ages:

Girls: 14 ((for I, T, H)) and 15 ((for W, C))

Caleb: 16

Grade:

Girls: 9th (( I T H)) 10th ((C W))

Caleb: 11th

((Where I live, 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th grade are all considered high school so they are all in the same school. I know where some people live, the 9th graders aren't high schoolers yet))

Chapter 1: Is he watching me?

XxxXxxxXxxX

She woke up to the loud and obnoxious buzzing of her alarm clock. She got out of bed and groggily turned it off and went to the bathroom to shower. Today was the first day of school. Cornelia sighed heavily. Only 2 years left of high school. She got out of the shower and began to get ready for the 'big day.' About forty five minutes later, she went downstairs to eat breakfast and had to listen to her annoying little sister Lillian brag about how she got to stay home today because her school didn't start until next week.

Alternate Cornelia World: "Haha Cornelia! I don't have to go to school today and you do!" Lillian stuck out her tongue as the phone rang. Cornelia's mom uh-huhed, yesed, okayed, and hung up the phone. She told Lillian it turned out she did have to go to school today and would get out an hour later than Cornelia's school did. Cornelia laughed.

After Cornelia finished, she got her cell phone and left. She walked over to Will's house so they could walk to school together.

"Hey Will." Will waved at her.

"Hey Cornelia. Are you ready for the first day?"

"Pssh no!" They laughed and started walking. Along the way they chatted about different things like boys, the weather, donuts, and stupid alarm clocks.

AN HOUR LATER

Second period math just started, which Cornelia had with Will. When Cornelia was sitting at her desk chattering away with Will, she noticed a boy a couple desks behind Will looking at her. She looked over at him and he turned his head.

ACW: She looked over at him and he smiled and got up. "Hi my name is..."

She couldn't finish her thought because, a) she didn't know his name, and b) the teacher was talking. She was doodling when the teacher was taking roll, so she didn't hear the boy's name. Darn! Suddenly a student came in and handed the teacher a pink pass. The teacher looked at it and walked over to the boy and handed it to him.

"You're being transferred to a different class." The boy got up and left, and glanced at Cornelia as he did so. After class, Cornelia waited for Will and asked her about the boy.

"Did you see that boy in the back of the room with brown hair and green eyes?" Will nodded. "Did you hear what his name was?" Will nodded again.

"His name's Caleb. Caleb Pennywhistle." ((NOTE: There is going to be a W.I.T.C.H. movie coming out in 2007, and on the cast list it says Caleb's and his dad's last names which are Pennywhistle, so that is Caleb's real last name! ok back to the story sorry for the interruption))

"Caleb… ok… He was staring at me at the beginning of class, and when he left.

"Ooh sounds like somebody has a crush on you. Nice going Cornelia, especially since he's a Junior."

"He is?"

"Yup. The teacher said everybody's grade level in class… were you paying attention at all? Wow that's not like you… normally I'M the one not paying attention." They laughed and walked to their next class.

LUNCH

Today's school lunch was some strange gray thing accompanied by some strange green things and a carton of an unknown white substance that looked like it had expired weeks ago. They skipped lunch that day.

"What should we do? I kind of want to go outside, but it is SO hot out…"

"We could go to the auditorium…" Cornelia nodded and they headed into the auditorium, which was surprisingly air conditioned. They were going to have an assembly in there later. As they looked around, they saw the marching band setting up. Apparently they were going to play at the assembly. They hadn't done that last year. Then she saw him.

"Hey there's Caleb…" Cornelia whispered to Will. "It looks like he might play the drums. Nice." She smiled and he looked over at her, almost as if he'd sensed her presence.

ACW: He smiled back at her. She walked over to him. "Need some help?" "Yeah sure. My name's Caleb by the way." "Cornelia." She held out her hand and he shook it.

"Cornelia are you awake? Hello?" Will was waving her hand in front of Cornelia's face.

"Wow you've been really spacey today. Are you ok?"

"Yeah I'm fine. Just tired I guess, you know how the first day of school is." Will nodded. Then they heard the bell signaling it was time for class to start. She turned her head to the side slightly and could barely see his face facing her. She smiled to herself. She kind of liked this guy looking at her, although it seemed kind of stalkerish and weird, she felt a kind of… connection… like she belonged with him or something, but she wasn't sure what it meant.

BACK IN THE AUDITORIUM FOR THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL THINGY

The whole school was packed into the auditorium waiting to hear whatever it was that they were supposed to hear and leave. The principal came up to the microphone and started talking. There were cheers and applause, silence, then more cheers and applause and then the marching band came, well, marching in. More cheering and applauding. Cornelia watched Caleb, who they (meaning Cornelia and Will) called 'the boy' so he wouldn't know they were talking about him when he was within ear shot of them, drum expertly down to the front of the auditorium and onto the stage. She watched him the whole time, but he didn't seem able to see her. Overall the whole assembly had been pretty boring, but she didn't care, she hadn't paid attention anyway. After school, she and Will sprinted toward the bus, trying not to get left behind. As they climbed on the bus, they saw that there were no empty seats. Will was in front of Cornelia and sat down on a seat across the aisle from The Boy.

ACW: She walked down the aisle toward The Boy slowly. He was listening to his mp3 player, so she wasn't sure if he'd hear her if she asked to sit next to him. She asked, he heard, she sat. She introduced herself to him and they began to talk.

She walked down the aisle toward The Boy slowly. He was listening to his mp3 player, so she wasn't sure if he'd hear her if she asked to sit next to him. She asked, he hear, she sat. Instead of the whole scene playing out like it had in her head, Will started talking to her and she didn't say any thing other than, "Can I sit here?" to The Boy. 'Oh well… maybe someday I'll work up the courage to talk to him… or maybe he'll talk to me… who knows.' The bus reached her stop and she got off after saying goodbye to Will. Maybe tomorrow she could talk to him.

XxxXxxxXxxX

Ok so was that totally awful? I know I made her introduce herself to Caleb a lot, but that's just how she tries to think of the perfect way things could play out and stuff. Review please and let me know if I should continue.
