I don't own any of the CSI:NY characters I'm just borrowing them.

Kaddielinn: Hey everyone this is my first fanfic ever, so please take it easy on me.

For the record everything in here about football I googled so if it's not accurate let me know and I'll fix it. Also i'm not from the states so i'm not sure about how their school years/system works so I'm just going to write it how it works here.

First person point of view is kinda my weak spot so the part in Adam's point of view might be a bit shaky, and it may not sound like him yet, I'm still working on it so stick with me please, same with Sheldon. Also the first part with Adam his composure/ attitude is taken from "Past Imperfect", after Mac yelled at him.

Please be nice in your reviews and if you have any advice I'd love to hear it.

School has been open and in session for six weeks now, and cliques have been established.

Mac, Danny, Flack, and Sheldon all know each other from football and are friends as a result. Lindsay moved here last year became close friends with Stella and flirts with Danny, thought the two aren't officially dating yet. Sheldon is the Brains and has the highest marks of his friends.

Luke is head of the anti-Danny club, he has no problem with Mac, and on the field all of them get along, but off the field they have nothing in common and often bicker at each other and make fun of one another. Luke and Kathryn are dating, Ben and Lisa are dating, and Russell and Kara are dating. Jake and Dan are also in this clique.

Mac, Danny, Flack and Sheldon were all at the school early on monday morning, going over the plays from the game on saturday, and deciding which ones worked and which ones didn't. They were sitting outside at the table that thy had claimed as their own, it was right against the wall so you could sit on it and lean against the wall, it was also right by the stairs that led to the front entrance so they could see everyone who entered and exited.

"I liked the Bootleg one," Danny told Sheldon, "They never saw it coming."

"It still needs some work though, I still haven't figured out the geometric angles needed to..."

"Hey it worked that's all I care about i'll leave the geometric angle figuring out to you." Danny interrupted.

"Not that you even know what geometric angles are" Flack teased in his strong New York accent.

"Look who's talking," Danny said lightly punching his friend in the shoulder, "It was a good thing that you noticed that their right defensive tackle had a slight blind spot on his left side, even our coach didn't notice."

"He's right" Sheldon agreed

"Well having a cop- who makes you do observation exercises- for a dad helps." Flack informed him.

"Which play did you like Mac?"

"Huh... What?" Mac asked snapping back to attention.

"Whatcha thinking about?" Danny asked

"Nothing, I'm watching that kid over there." he said nodding his head towards the street across from them.

The other three looked where he gestured, sure enough, four blocks down give or take, there was a red head kid walking towards them. He looked plain enough in a long sleeve shirt, and jeans, carrying a backpack on his back.

"What about him?" Flack asked

"Watch" Mac told them

Sure enough a few seconds later the kid looked over his shoulder almost as though checking to make sure he wasn't being followed.

"You think he's up to something?" Flack asked

"No, he doesn't seem suspicious, or even like he's hiding something, or running, just nervous."

"He looks like he's heading this way." Sheldon commented

"Do you recognize him?" Danny asked

"No, but then again it is a big school, you guys?"

"Nope" Flack answered

"Never seen him before, you Mac?"

"No"

"It's possible we've never seen him before" Sheldon decided, "Especially since he looks like he's a few years younger than us."

"Or he could be a new student." Danny looked the kid, over "I agree though he looks to be grade 9 or 10"

"Possibly" Sheldon agreed

Before they could make any other observations, a black saturn ion drove up and two girls got out.

"Lindsay, Stella" Flack called them over.

"Hey Stella, Montana" Danny called with a grin as the girls came closer.

"Boys" Lindsay said as they came over and sat down.

APOV

I was walking to my new school, to get my schedule and everything, before the crowds of kids got there, and I couldn't help but look over my shoulder, I knew that he wasn't there, but it was habit.

I was both excited and nervous to start at my new school, me and my mom had just moved to New York from Arizona...

*Flashback*

The door slammed and the smell of booze reached me up in my room.

My dad was home.

He stumbled up the stairs towards his room, and I could tell by the way he was slamming things around that he had lost again, and I hid. My dad had a major gambling problem, and every time he lost he would blame me or my mom, and...well take it out on us. He was a bully, often he wouldn't even have to loose, sometimes he would just... for no reason.

I heard him enter my mom's room, smash the bottle against the wall, and I knew that for the moment I was safe, I heard her cry, and I try to block it out as I finished putting the final touches on my plan. I silently went over to my closet and pull edout a shoe, containing the money I've saved from working after school. I told my dad that I had to go in for extra classes, he already thinks I'm stupid so he didn't say anything, except to gloat, so he doesn't know about it, if he did he'd take it to gamble with too. The truth is my teachers moved me ahead a year, and might have tried to move me more if I hadn't begged them not to. I look in the shoe, and count the cash, I have $3000 enough for a new start, somewhere else.

The noise from the other room quiets, and I knew that he'd passed out. I quietly got up and went to get my mom. I already had bags packed with a few of our possessions, and I got us passports last week... everything was ready.

*Present*

I walked up the steps of the school's side doors, I'd went around the side to avoid the kids I saw sitting out front. Entering the school I mentally look at the map that I had memorized the night before, and walked to the office. Once inside I waited till the secretary noticed me. Looking up she spots me,

"Hi, can I help you?" She asks

"Y-yes m'am" I stutter. "I'm here t-to pick up my schedule,"

"Ah, you must be Adam."

"Yes m'am"

"Ok," she grabs something of her desk and holds it out to me, "Here is your class schedule, and a map incase you get lost."

"Thank you m'am"

"Your welcome"

Just then the door behind me opened, and someone entered.

"Morning Jennifer" The male voice greets the secretary, and I immediately stiffen, then try to convince myself to relax.

"Morning Mr. Clark, your just in time to meet our newest student, Adam Ross, he's the one i was telling you about."

"Ah yes, the young prodigy."

I slowly turn around, and look at him, then quickly look at the ground. "Hello sir" I stutter. He holds out his hand, and I hesitantly shake it.

"Nice to meet you." Fortunately before anything else can happen the bell rings, and he sends me off to class.

I nervously tell them goodbye, then head towards my first class, biology.

Please review, and tell me what you think.
