Oh god how she hated this. It was her first day. Again. It was the middle of the semester and her parents had decides to move for the third time in two years. But this time it would be different, or so she hoped.
They promised this time Kate reminded herself as she walked into Brookside High that this would be the last move until she graduated in two and a half years. Walking through the school Kate realized as she did with every other high school she went to that it was the same. She saw the jocks throwing a football in halls, the cheerleaders huddled by a locker eyeing up the jocks. The nerds going over their homework from last night, and when she turned around the potheads smoking by a tree in the courtyard. She couldn't help but wonder which group she would fall under this time, as she had been in all of those groups once.
Entering the school office in her white skinny jeans, navy Toms and navy Hollister sweater she almost ran into a peppy blonde.
"Oh crap, I'm so sorry!" Said the blonde.
"Don't worry about it I'm fine. Actually I'm new here do you know where I can get my schedule and my locker?" Kate asked boldly.
"Oh yeh, the secretary's desk is the first one on the left. She should be able to help you out. Oh and I'm Jenny by the way, I'll see you around! Bye" Jenny said practically bouncing out of the office.
"Oh right, thanks." Said Kate as she said heading towards the desk the girl, Jenny pointed at.
As she approached the empty secretary's desk Kate called out "Hello? Excuse me is anyone here? Hello?"
Soon a petit women in her late sixties came over "Hello dearie, how can I help you?"
"Hi, my names Kate Beckett and I'm new here. Today's my first day." Explained Kate.
"Ok, Kate Beckett let me see what I've got here." Said the women looking through the pile of files on her desk "aha found it here you go! Have a great first day"
Kate looked down at the file and saw she had history first period, science second, gym third, lunch and then finally French last. She also noticed that her locker was number 637 up on the second floor.
While Kate's head had been buried in the file first bell had gone. When she turned the corner she walked strait into a young girl about her own age with dark skin, straight black hair and brown eyes.
"Oh shit. That was totally my fault" the girl explained.
"That's fine, I should have been looking where I was going to!" Sail a smiling Kate
"Your new here aren't you? My names Lanie by the way. What's your first period?" She asked
"Uh yeh I am and ummmm history with Cahrmicle. Oh and I'm Kate" answered Kate
"Oh really me to! If you want I'll show you around?" Offered Lanie
"Yeh sure that'd be great. Thanks" replied a now smiling Kate as Lanie took the file out of Kate's hand and began leading her upstairs.
By the time the had made it to Kate's locker and left for first period the final bell had gone and Kate and Lanie were the only ones left in the halls.
"Don't worry about Cahrmicle he's pretty cool with being late as long as you have a good reason, and it doesn't hurt to bring him a coffee once in a while either." Explained Lanie as the two girls ran down the hall and around the corner. "Ok this is it." Said Lanie as they reached room 237.
The girls entered a dark classroom, it seems they had already missed attendance and the class was watching a movie. Lanie and Kate silently made their way over to the teachers desk.
"Hey mr. Cahrmicle sorry I'm late. This is Kate by the way she's new here, I'm gonna go take my seat." Said Lanie walking over to a window seat on the far left hand side of the room.
"Ok Lanie. Oh and Laine this is your third late this week, lets not make it four please." Said mr Cahrmicle to a retreating Lanie.
"Hi Kate, it's nice to meet you, today we are just watching a movie and I will have all of the notes we have taken this semester photocopied and on your desk tomorrow morning. Why don't you go sit beside Lanie in the empty desk." Said Cahrmicle focusing his attention back to the movie.
Kate walked over to where Lanie was sitting beside a cute Hispanic and took the empty desk on her other side next to a cute boy with dark hair.
"Oh good, Cahrmicle put you in our group. This is Javier Esposito, javi or espo for short and Richard Castle Rick or Castle for short." Explained Lanie as each of the boys nodded as they were introduced
Lanie and Javier immediately turned their attention back to the movie but Rick was still staring at her. Kate found this a little creepy but let it go for now.
