"You Spin Me Round"

Chapter 1: Deja Vu

He didn't want this day to come. He had such a great summer, but he didn't want it to end. How could school compare to going to Manhatten with the band. Plus, this school year was going to be so much worse than it used to be. Peter, Jane, and Danny had gone onto college and Spinner wasn't going to hang out with him that much without Jane being around. So he'd be the only stud left. Oh well, atleast he'd be a senior.

"All!" Sav yelled at his sister as he was at the door. "Hurry up! I want to get to school on time!"

"Cool down," Alli said, laughing as she walked down the stairs. "It's just school."

"Don't let Dad hear that." Sav was excited about one thing. That was his new car. He turned 16 in July, one of the last of his friends. He was okay with it, though. His dad got him a 2001 Honda Civic with only 20,000 miles on it. With a little work over the summer, Sav had it tricked out and was ready for school.

He and Alli got to school just in time, with only two minutes to spare. After going to his locker, Sav went to his first class: English. He walked in and saw a couple people that he knew. He almost stopped in his tracks when he saw his ex- though. There was Anya. He couldn't believe it. He was hoping she wouldn't be in any classes with him. They hadn't talked since they're last broke up.

It's okay, he trying telling himself. He was over her. There was no more Sav & Anya. The book had been closed. Well, he thought. He still thought of her every now and than, but he was sure he was over her. Right?

"So what'd you do over the summer?" Leia asked Anya. They were both upset that they didn't hang out more over the summer.

"Well, my family and I went to Florida for a month and we rented a beach house," answered Anya. That's why I'm so tan. And I had a great time. I met a bunch of cool people."

"That sounds really fun."

"Yeah, it was. So how abou..." Anya stopped when she saw Sav walk into her chemistry class. She turned around, hoping he didn't see her.

"What's wrong?" Leia asked, but she answered her own question when she looked at Sav. "Oh. I see. Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"Are you not over him, yet?"

"Well, I want to be, but I can't. We were on-and-off for over a year. It's just hard to get over someone you spent so much time with."

"Yeah, I understand. It took me awhile to get over Danny and we lasted a lot shorter than you guys did."

"Okay, class," interrupted Miss Kwan. "Sit down. I'm Miss Kwan and I'll be your teacher for the next 9 1/2 months."

As Miss Kwan was talking, Anya drifted off into her own little world. She couldn't believe Sav was in her class. She was still hung up on him from last year. When her parents told of the Florida trip, the first thing she thought of was how she was hoping it would be enough to get him off of her mind. But it wasn't.

She was drawn out when she heard the whole class groan. "I know, it seems rough," said Miss Kwan. "But it really isn't as rough as you think it is. All it is is a quick book report on a book of your choice. Of course, it has to be on the reading list, so no Twilight. I'll be nice to you this once and give you a partner. Row 1, you'll be partners with the person right of you in row 5. It's the same thing with row 2 and row 4. For Row 3, you have to split it up. The person in the first seat is with the person in the last seat and than the two people in the middle work together."

Anya looked to her right. She was in the second row. She couldn't believe her eyes when she saw that the person to her right was Sav.

"I suggest you guys spend the next 10 minutes to get familiar with your partner and try to pick a book," said Miss Kwan.

Sav got up and went towards Anya. "Hey," he akwardly said.

"Hey," Anya repeated.

"Listen, I'm sorry for last year, but we need to get passed it. We used to have good times and I don't want those to end just because we're too afraid to end this tension. Can we just agree to be friends?"

Anya was shocked. She didn't know what to think. She knew it must've been hard for him to say. She quicky said, "Yes. That sounds great."

"Okay," Sav said, with a smile appearing on his face.

"Hey Anya," said Sav on the other line.

"Hey Sav," replied Anya.

"Are you free tonight?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Well, our project's due on Monday and I was wondering if you wanted to go to The Dot to work on it so we wouldn't have to wait until the last minute."

"Yeah, that's a good idea."

"Okay. I'll see you around 7:30?"

"Yeah."

Sav and Anya met up at The Dot.

"Hey, Spin," said Sav to his former bandmate Spinner as he came to take their order.

"Hey, Sav," replied Spinner. "So what do you two want."

"I'll just have a water," answered Anya.

"Same for me," said Sav.

"Okay than. I'll be back in a minute with your waters."

"Thanks, Spin," said Sav. "So let's get started," Sav now said to Anya.

"Yeah, let's."

They both went into their bags to get the book. Once they got their books out and the water came, Sav broke the silence by saying, "So how are we supposed to present this thing?"

"I don't know. Maybe a powerpoint? Or a poster board?"

"A powerpoint's a good idea."

"Okay, but there's no computers here."

"Okay, than how about we just do a speech. That's minimal work and we should get a decent grade."

"That's good for me." As they were talking about their presentation, Anya began thinking about Sav. He seemed different. More mature. Maybe going to New York changed him. Or maybe it was losing Peter and Danny. He was fine with Danny, but she never did like Peter that much. After all the stuff he did, how could she?

Getting back to Sav, she realised how much she liked his new haircut. It was much shorter than it used to be. It let her see his eyes better. His beautiful brown eyes. She still liked him, but did he still like her?

As Anya was going over what she thought of the book, Sav couldn't help but get lost in Anya's green eyes. He had forgotten how pretty Anya was. A whole summer away from her wasn't enough tp get over her. He wanted to make a move, but three breakups was enough to make him realise they weren't meant to be. Well, atleast they weren't meant to be last year. Maybe...

"Okay than," said Anya. "I think we're done here."

"Oh," said Sav, getting out of his thoughts. "Hopefully Miss Kwan thinks we did a good job."

"I'm sure she will. We worked really hard. Well, I got to get home. I'll already be late, I don't want to make my parents too angry."

As Sav was watching Anya leave, he had an urge to yell, "Wait!"

Anya turned around. "What?"

"I could drive you if you want."

"You can drive?"

"Yeah. My dad got me a car over the summer."

"Oh. Well, I guess I can't pass that offer up."

Sav led Anya to the car and drove her to her house. It was a house he went to many times and knew how to get there almost as easy as he knew how to get to his own house. When he got there, he offered to walk her to the door. He just wanted to be chivalrous. Or did he?

"Thank for driving me home," said Anya.

"No problem," Sav replied, looking in her eyes. "I forgot how beautiful you are."

Anya was speechless. Before she knew it, they were both leaning into a kiss. After the kiss, they looked into each others eyes and smiled.

"Well, I'll see you in school on Monday," said Sav, walking backwards to his car.

"See ya," said Anya, watchinghim as she went inside.
