Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters as they are all creations of the wonderful people that created the show once and again! (They would be even more wonderful if they would release the third season on DVD, but hey ho!)
Rating: Nothing big…yet! It's all very innocent at the moment.
Summary: Not that good as summarising things so I'll just say that Jessie and Katie have not met yet, however Grace is still Jessie's stepsister and she is also in the same English class as Katie. Oh and Jessie is currently dating Tad! (Don't shoot me)
AN: Please read and review, it would be great to know what you readers think of my story as it is my first fan fic…scary biting nails lol! Thoughts are in italics by the way.
Part 1: The ReturnIt was another start to another week of school at Upton Sinclair. Everyone was returning from their Christmas holidays so naturally everyone was talking about what they were lucky enough to get this year. For most people it was the latest mobile phone or mp3 player. For Katie Singer, it was the latest Mini Cooper. Now most people would be jealous and the others…well, who am I kidding, everyone would be jealous! Katie donned a pair of black sunglasses, even though it was not exactly the right season for it, and entered the halls of the school she could only wish to leave. Life at Upton was slow enough for most people and even though Katie was not exactly the least popular student, she was still yet to find someone who saw her for who she was, who actually understood her. For an openly gay student, you could say it was surprising that she was so popular, nevertheless if anyone were to make a snide remark about her then it would pretty much be a case of social suicide for that person. Yes, undoubtedly Katie Singer was one of the most beautiful girls you would ever see, yet beneath the exterior of such beauty lies something more, something deep just waiting to surface and it was only a matter of time before that would happen.

Jessie Sammler appeared to be your average American girl who in the eyes of her family and friends seemed 'perfect'. However she did not feel this way and the trigger of these feelings was Tad. She had always liked him, he was very good to her and always looked after her, and her family liked him too. That's why she convinced herself that she felt something for him, but deep down inside she knew that she didn't. It was not just Tad who she didn't feel anything for, she had never really felt anything for any guy other than friendship but she just mistook it easily by thinking that she just hadn't found the right guy. Anyway, they had been dating for about 3 months now and of course he was trying to take things a bit further but she managed to convince him that she was not ready yet. She knew she shouldn't be stringing Tad along like that but she did it out of hope, that maybe someday she would feel something. Little did she know that the feeling would soon come, just for someone she would never expect.

"Jessie"
Grace shouted from the bottom of the stairs as once again they were running late for school.
" If you don't get your ass down here in 30 seconds I'll leave without you. We're already late"
"Well if you didn't take so long in the bathroom in the first place then we wouldn't be late, would we?"
Jessie came running down the stairs and was just about to run out the door.
"Oh whatever, now just hurry up and get in the car."
"Great comeback Grace! You're seriously slacking in that department."
Grace just simply shot Jessie an evil look before jumping in the car and heading off to school.
At the parking lot Jessie seemed more than happy to be able to have both her feet firmly on the ground. 'Anyone would be with the way she drives' Jessie couldn't help but chuckle at her own joke. Grace, noticing this turned around.
"What's so funny?"
"Oh nothing, see you later Grace, don't wanna completely miss first period now do we?"
Once more Grace shot her infamous evil glare Jessie's way, which made her all to happy to be able to run off in the direction of her first class.
Quickly scurrying through the halls, in the hope of not being too late, Jessie noticed a lanky brown haired girl leaning against the lockers following her with her gaze. She smiled at her and went to continue moving on but not before noticing the charming smile that she just received in return. 'Wow that smile is beautiful…she's beautiful…wait am I allowed to think that? … I'm allowed to think that someone else is beautiful, right? … Well if they are then that's ok…Yeah! …She is beautiful though…STOPPIT! … Oh I really need to get to class.'
Jessie hurried off down the corridor not knowing that Katie had just been thinking the same thing and knowing Katie Singer she would most definitely want to do something about it. At that moment the late bell rang pulling Katie away from her thoughts and signalled to her that she was already late for her English class. 'Great, just great! Nothing like being told off by Dimitri first day back!'
Time dragged slowly for both the girls in their different classes however they both had a certain thought to keep them company, or should I say a certain smile.
