Chapter 1-

7:00 a.m. Katsopolis House- Britney's bedroom

It was a gorgeous Monday morning in San Fransisco. Bright, sunny, and warm. The only pronlem? It was also the first day of school. Britney didn't feel like moving a muscle. She wanted to stay in her bed and never get up. Never have to go to school again. But soon enough her dad was knocking on the door telling her to get up or not drive to school. Britney had just gotten her permit over the summer and took any opportunity she could find to drive. She got out of bed with effort and strode over to her closet to get dressed. In half an hour she was dressed and in the bathroom putting on her makeup. Her dad came back and said, "Come on Brit. I have to get to work." Jesse worked at the local radio station. He started before Britney was even born and slowly made his way up the work ladder. Now he was manager of the entire station.

"I'll be down in a sec." Britney called to him.

Once she was finished she went downstairs into the kitchen, grabbed a nutrition bar and she and Jesse hopped in the car. She got to school without a problem, except that she accidently cut someone off at an intersection. When they got there Jesse said, "Your mom will be back at 3, okay?"

"I know! Bye dad!" She called and ran to the fron door where her best friends were waiting for her, "Hey guys."

One of the girls, Lauren, brushed her long blond hair over her shoulder and asked, "What took you so long?"

"Woke up late." Britney was struggling to get her cell phone into her backpack and get out her nutrition bar at the same time. She finally gave up when the bell rang a second later. She stuffed her cell into her pocket and the three girls made their way into Van Atta High. The other girl, Courtney, said, "My dad would freak if I slept in. He's think I was out late drinking the night before."

"That's Uncle Danny for ya." Britney laughed.

Lauren added, "At least your parents are home to get you guys up. I have to do it all on my own. Then get on the bus! Who knows when I'll be able to drive when I get my permit next month." The bell rang again and the girls said quick goodbyes and hurried off to their classes.

11:00 a.m. Van Atta High- Mrs. Delgado's 11th grade Spanish class

Courtney Tanner was in her third period class, Spanish, when she saw him for the first time. She was sitting next to one of her best friends, Lauren. When he walked in Courtney whispered, "Have you seen him before?" to Lauren.

She whispered back, "Yeah. He's in my homeroom. His name's Tom . . . he just moved here from Malibu. At least that's what he said when he introduced himself."

Courtney nodded slowly watching Tom's every move. He talked with their teacher for a little then she pointed to a seat right next to Courtney. He walked over and sat down, "Hi!" Courtney said after he put his stuff down. She couldn't wait to talk to him.

"Hi." He mumbled back.

"I'm Courtney and this is my friend Lauren."

Tom smiled at Lauren, "Yeah, I met her in homeroom."

Courtney looked at Lauren who didn't seem like she even cared Tom was talking about her. She rolled her eyes and turned back to Tom, "So, where are you from?"

Lauren lightly hit her on the shoulder, "I already told you. Malibu." Tom laughed and Lauren quickly said, "Oh, sorry." And went back to staring dully at her desk.

"No, it's no problem. Yeah, I'm from Malibu." Before their conversation could go on any further Mrs. Delgado started class. Courtney kept looking over at Tom and smiling. "Maybe this school year won't be as bad as I thought." She thought to herself.

12:00 a.m. Van Atta High- Cafeteria

At lunch the three girls all met up and sat together at their regular table. Lauren sat down and sihed at the same time. "What's up, Laur? Something wrong?"

"Oh, nothing." She said sarcastically, "Only that it's the first day of school and I completley hate it!"

Courtney, who was strangley happy, said, "How can you hate it? It's awesome! It's wonderful!"
"Put a lid on it, Court. You're only saying that because you like Tom."

"Well, yeah." Courtney agreed, "But really, school's not that bad."

Britney, who had been picking at the lunch her dad had packed her, lifted her head up and said, "Yeah, come on Laur. You've never been this upset on the first day of school. What's going on?"

Lauren was quiet for a while figuring out if she should tell them. "My parents . . .nothing. It's nothing." They looked at her doubtingly but she said, "Come on guys. I don't want to talk about it. Please? Just let go."

Like an unspoken agreement Courtney changed the subject by saying, "So, you guys want to come over after school?"
