Are you supposed to put a disclaimer up here? Anyway I don't own none of these characters except for Angel. She's someone I made up.

At East High

Corbin was at his locker getting his books out for science class. Zac Efron(his best friend) came to his locker with a basketball in his hand. He banged it against the locker so he could get Corbin's attention. Corbin looked up reluctantly.

"Yo man. So you ready for practice today?"

"Psshh yeah! I'm always ready. But I gotta work on my lay-ups."

"Yeah, you do miss those a lot!"

"Whatever."

Corbin turned back to his locker to get his book.

"So. Did ya hear about the game plan? We changed it…………….again. So now instead of passing the ball to Jason, you'll pass it to………………."

Corbin blocked out what Zac was saying. A girl walked by them and Corbin wasn't paying attention to anything else. He watched her go by with Zac talking to a wall.

"…………………so you got it? Corbin? Dude! Come back to earth!" Zac was waving and snapping his fingers and banging the locker in front of Corbin's face.

Corbin jumped back. "What?"

"What happened?"

"Nothing."

"You okay?"

"Yeah. I'm fine."

"You gonna be alright for practice? You really got to work on those lay-ups! Those are the easiest things!"

"Yeah to miss!"

Corbin shut his locker and they went to class.

Basketball Practice

Everyone was working on their shots. Some were doing free throws and jump shots and lay-ups. Corbin, Zac, and Jason were doing lay-ups.

"Come on Corbin! Can you at least get one shot?!" Jason said.

"I'm trying!" Corbin tried again and missed.

"What's wrong?! You usually get three shots at least!" Zac said.

"I know! I just got a lot of things on my mind!"

"Like what?!" Jason said.

"Like…………..math a-and………..science………and………"

"Okay stop! Why are you worried about that stuff?!"

"I gotta keep good grades to stay on the team."

"Oh yeah right. I gotta keep my grades up too! Oh man! I'm gonna fail science if I don't study! I gotta go!" Jason said.

"Wait! What am I suppose to tell the coach?!" Zac yelled.

"Tell him that-I don't know! Make up something!" He ran out the door.

Corbin and Zac looked at each other with a confused look.

"What exactly do we suppose to tell the coach?" Corbin asked.

Zac shrugged and they went back to practice.

Going Home

"Jason! Where have you been?! You almost got us killed in practice!" Corbin yelled.

Corbin and Zac were walking down the sidewalk.

"How?! What I do?!"

"You know I'm not good at telling lies!" Corbin said.

"I know. I was kind of depending on Zac to tell him for me."

"Me?! I was too focused to say it!" Zac said.

"So what exactly did you say?"

"We said that you had to go to the bathroom because you ate some barbeque."

"What?!"

"Yeah and the coach started laughing in our face and told us to tell the truth since we didn't have barbeque today."

"What you say?"

"I rather not talk about it."

Jason groaned and shook his head.

"So what happened to you in practice? Come to think of it you always do good in school so you don't need to study." Zac said.

"Nothing." Corbin answered.

"Tell the truth! Is it a girl?!"

"…………….no."

"It is a girl! Who is she?!"

"Its no one! I was just feeling a little off. That's all."

"Yeah. He was feeing just a little off!" Jason joked.

"Shut up!" Corbin yelled.

"Ha Ha! We're sorry. But it is a girl isn't it?" Zac said.

"Corbin. Corbin. Corbin!" Zac yelled. Corbin didn't answer.

"What's wrong with him?" Jason asked.

"I don't know. Corbin!"

Corbin was blocked out of the world and was thinking about that girl. He was somewhere in heaven. At least he thought he was. He didn't know the girl's name. Yet. But still he thought about her. How she walked and how she looked. Corbin started daydreaming about her.

"Corbin!" Zac yelled. "You okay?!"

Corbin had just walked into a pole. He was so lost in his dream. But he kept walking without saying anything, without making noise, and acting like he didn't just walk into a pole smiling to himself. Zac and Jason stopped walking for a second.

"What the heck is wrong with him?!" Jason asked.

"I don't know! It probably is a girl!"

At School The Next Day

Corbin was at his locker. The girl had a locker next to his and she was at it getting a notebook. Zac was talking to Corbin about something but he wasn't paying attention. Every now and then Corbin would glance out the corner of his eye and look at her.

"Are you paying attention?" Zac asked.

"Huh?"

"I'll take that as a no."

Someone came to Zac and asked him a question. His back was turned to Corbin. The girl was still at her locker. The same sentence would run through his mind. Talk to her. Talk to her. Talk to her. As soon as he was about to, Zac turned around and said "Come on. We're gonna be late!"

"Uh…….hold on. I gotta get my book."

Zac shrugged and went to his class. The girl was still standing there which was weird considering that everyone was already in their classes and the halls were deserted. He was tempted to talk to her until she asked "Do you know where I can get a math book? I can't find mine and I need to have one before I enter my class so I can be saved for being late."

Without thinking Corbin took out his own book and gave it to her.

"Um isn't this yours?" she asked.

"You can take it." He said. All this time ever since she talked to him, Corbin was looking at her.

"Thanks. I'll bring it back to you this afternoon. You're Corbin right?"

"Ye-yeah."

"Oh. Just making sure. My name's Angel."

"That name fits you perfectly." He whispered to himself.

"What?"

"No-nothing."

"Okay. Bye."

Corbin watched her leave. He actually talked to her and found out her name. Even if the biggest sentence he made was only four letters. He smiled to himself. He looked up to get his math book which he couldn't find. Oh yeah, I gave it to Angel. The sweet little angel. Wait a minute! I don't have a math book!
