Hello, all. This is my fourth Fanfiction, but I haven't actually started one in, like, a year. So, this might be really bad, so tell me if it is. I never really like anything I write. This story is in a narrator's POV. So, enjoy Why Am I Jealous?

CHAPTER 1

It was a new school year. A fresh start for Angela Chase, with her source of happiness and torment, Jordan Catalano, gone. Her best friend, Rayanne Graff, and her had gotten in a fight, and she didn't talk to her all summer, nor did she talk to Rickie Vasquez. So, it really was a new start. Of course she did have Brian Krakow and Sharon Cherski, but they weren't really here friends. They were just…there. The first bell rang, so she got to class. She looked around the room for any new arrivals, but found none. That is until the late bell rang, and a tall blonde stumbled in.

"Sorry I'm late, I couldn't find my class." Her Southern drawl a change for this school. She was blushing a little, obviously feeling a bit out of place.

"Oh, that's fine." The jittery English teacher, Mr. Katimski, just gave her a wave of the arm. "Um, and you are?"

"I'm, um, Johnnie Pankow."

A jock from the back spoke up, "Uh, Johnny's like a dudes name."

She started blushing more. "Yeah, but, um, my name is spelled with an IE, and my parents really wanted to name me Johnnie, so they just did that." She just nodded slowly, "So, yeah…yup."

Brian was the first to put her out of her misery, "There's a seat back here."

"Thanks," Johnnie said quietly. She maneuvered around the chairs, and sat down. She gave an embarrassed little smile, then Mr. Katimski started with his "Welcome back!" speech.

After class Angela walked up to Johnnie. "Hey, I'm Angela."

Johnnie smiled, "Hi, I'm Johnnie. Wow, That was a bad first class."

"Don't worry, people have done a lot worse on their first day."

Johnnie sighed, "Well that's good. Hey, do you know where, "She looked at her paper, "Mrs. Lerer's class is?"

Brian popped up out of nowhere, "That's where I'm headed. You take calculus?"

Johnnie smiled, "Yeah, that's pretty much the only thing I'm good at."

Angela looked at the two looking at each other. "I'll, um, see you later Johnnie. Bye Brian."

As Angela walked away she could hear Brian. "Oh, yeah I'm Brian by the way."

Angela kept walking down the hall. She saw Rayanne and Rickie. Rickie gave her a sympathetic smile, while Rayanne just looked away. Angela put her head down and continued down the hall. She got to her next class early (because she wasn't talking to anyone during her transition time) and sat down. She was the only one in the room; even the teacher wasn't there. So when the tall brown-haired boy walked into the room, she noticed. It's not like he was overly gorgeous, or something like that, he just had something about him.

"Hey," he said. "I'm Eddie." He sat down on the desk next to Angela's facing her.

"Hi," she smiled trying not to blush. "I'm Angela."

"Are you new too?"

Angela laughed a little bit. "No. Why, do I look new?"

Eddie blushed a little bit this time, "No, but I'm new a lot, and it's usually new people that get to class first. They also get to class last, but I already did that." The last part was mostly under his breath.

"Oh. Well I've always been here. Where are you from?"

"I'm from here. But, my parents just got a divorce, and I'm living with my mom, in a different school district, so I just go here now."

Angela looked down. "Oh…"

"Yeah, sorry, that usually stops conversations." The bell rang, and students started poring into the class. Eddie sat all the way down in his chair. Angela smiled at him before they both looked away and paid attention to the class.

After class Angela and Eddie were both slow getting their things on purpose. They met in the doorway. "So, Angela…you sitting with anyone in particular at lunch?"

Angela blushed. "Maybe. Why, are you?"

He smiled. "Maybe."

They both went to their next classes without saying anything else. Their next classes weren't together, though. Her next class was History, with Brian. He was the only person she knew in that class. She sat down. He walked over to her desk.

"Hey Chase."

Angela looked at him blankly, responding with her bores eyes.

"So, um, what's up?"

She rolled her eyes. "Well, as you can see I'm sitting in a desk waiting for school to end."

Brian looked a bit hurt. "Oh." Only a bit.

Angela rolled her eyes again, forcing herself to engage in a conversation with her once good friend that she hasn't said more than two words to in two months. "So, are you and…Johnny friends now?"

He shrugged, "I don't know. She's cool, and we have a lot of classes together, so…I guess."

"Cool." Then class started and Brian sat down in his chair.

At lunch Angela ended up sitting at a table with Brian, Johnnie, Sharon, Sharon's boyfriend Kyle, and of course Eddie. The only noise during lunch was Sharon and Kyle's little spats and quick make-ups. Every time that happened Eddie and Angela would exchange a quick glance, then giggled under their breath. Lunch ended and they all headed back to their classes. Angela's next class was Math with Sharon and Eddie. She had Geometry again, because she didn't really finish it the year before. Their teacher, though, wasn't the same as last year. Mr. Something-or-other was evil, and didn't help explain anything. He even gave out homework on the first day back. Which, though completely evil, wasn't so bad, because after class Eddie asked if she wanted to go to his house and do their math. She accepted, got his number, and left for her next class.

After school was the first time since after math that Angela saw Eddie. "I have to take the bus home and tell my mom, but after that I'll call you. OK?"

Eddie nodded, "OK, I'll pick you up...if it's OK with your mom. And you."

She smiled. "I'll make sure." She got on the bus and watched Eddie walk away. Brian sat down next to her.

"Hey Chase."

Angela turned to him, "Do you find it necessary to call me by my last name? My parents gave me a name for a reason."

Brian put his hands up in defense. "Sorry. Just a habit a guess. So, you and what's-his-face are friends?"

Angela rolled her eyes, "Yes, I am friends with Eddie."

"Cool." They didn't talk the rest of the way home.

When Angela walked in the door of her house her mother was there to greet her. "How was your first day, honey?"

"Good, I guess. Except I have math homework. So, yeah, can I go over to Eddie's house to work on it with him? He can pick me up."

"Ooh, who's Eddie?"

Angela rolled her eyes, "Just a friend mom. So can I?"

"Sure, but I have to meet him."

"OK, I'll tell him to pick me up." She was walking up the stairs as she said it. She got the cordless phone and went to her room. She called Eddie. She gave him her address, and warned him about Patty, her mother. He laughed and told her he'd be five minutes. She hung up, ran and put the phone on the cradle, and ran back to her room. She gave herself a once-over to make sure she didn't look hideous. She did in her mind, but she dealt with it.

She went downstairs and waited with her mother. Danielle walked in. "What's going on, are we having a meeting?"

"No, Danielle."

"Well then what are you doing?"

"Angela's got a little boyfriend."

Angela rolled her eyes, "Mom! He's not my boyfriend; we're just doing homework.

The doorbell rang, and Danielle jumped to get it. "Are you Angela's boyfriend?"

"Danielle!" Angela hated her little sister sometimes.

Eddie smiled, "Um—"

"Mom, this is Eddie. Eddie, mom."

Patty put on her best smile. She held out her hand. "I'm Patty Chase. It's nice to meet you."

Eddie smiled, "It's nice to meet you too Mrs. Chase."

Angela cut in, "Can we go now."

Patty waved her arm, "Go ahead."

They got in the car. Angela liked his car. It wasn't like Jordan's. It was just a plain car that she couldn't remember the name of because it looked like everything else. Plus, the seats were a lot more comfortable than Jordan's. "Sorry about my sister," Angela said after a while."

Eddie shrugged. "That's ok, I have a little Brother. He's probably more annoying than your sister."

Angela laughed. They got to Eddie's house quickly. And, just like Eddie had warned, his brother came charging at them. Eddie picked him up before he could collide with anybody.

"This," Eddie settled the squirming child in his arms, "is Harold. He's six." Eddie spoke to his brother. "We're gonna be doing homework in my room, so are you gonna be OK on your own?"

Harold jumped down, ran over to the couch and turned on the TV.

"That means yes."

Angela laughed, and Eddie led them to his room. He opened the door and held his arms out. "This is my…lair."

Angela laughed, "It's very nice."

It was pretty much any teen boy's room. It had posters of bands, the bed was unmade, and there were clothes strewn on the floor. Well, every boy besides Brian. He sat down on the edge of the bed, swung his backpack up, and patted the bed for Angela to sit.

Angela sat down and opened up her math book.

They did their homework for about an hour before they finally finished. When they were done Angela stretched her arms out and yawned, while Eddie laughed at her.

She picked up a pillow and threw it at him. "Don't laugh. I don't like homework, especially on the first day."

Eddie picked up the pillow and threw it back, "So-o-ry." Angela laughed, and Eddie's face got a little serious. "Angela, I like you. And I know I've only known you for a day, but I was wondering if I could kiss you."

Angela smiled and nodded. Eddie leaned in, and so did Angela. For a few seconds there was no lip movement, and then they started to open up a bit. They pulled back soon after, and smiled at each other.

Eddie broke the silence. "If you don't want to take the bus I can give you a ride. I live pretty close to you."

Angela smiled, "Sure, thanks."

The next morning when Eddie was waiting for Angela outside of her house. When she walked outside, Angela saw Brian just leaving the house. "You missed the bus," She said to him in a slightly mocking tone.

"Yeah, so did you," Brian said defensively.

"Yeah, but I have a ride." She pointed to Eddie.

"Do you think he has room for one more?"

Angela rolled her eyes. She stuck her head in the window. "Can you give Brian a ride?"

"Sure."

Angela waved Brian over, and he jogged, as if not wanting to stall them any longer. They both got in and headed for the school. After they got there Angela and Eddie waited for Brian to walk in ahead of them, then they walked in together. Angela's classroom was the first one in the hall. Eddie and her kissed quickly, then Eddie walked to his class. Johnnie walked up to Angela.

"Ooh, who's the guy?"

Angela smiled. "Eddie."

"He's cute, is he your boyfriend?" Brian was watching the two talk.

"I think so. We just met yesterday, so…yeah, I think so."

She looked over at Brian who looked away, towards the board.

OK, that's the first chapter. Please review. And just to tell you, I was kind of influenced by the movie Junebug, with Johnnie as a girl's name, but it's not plagiarizing cause I'm giving that movie credit. OK, again, review please.
