Author's note: Hi! So, I decided that I was gonna write a fic about Jason and Ella because I haven't done one yet. I'm also gonna apologise in advance for not updating as regularly as I normally would cause I have exams and stuff :S I was gonna leave it till after my exams before I posted anything but I couldn't wait because I really wanna hear your opinions.
OH! And those who wanted a sequel for "Romance in the Classroom" will be happy to know I'm working on it (well I hope you's are happy to hear it anyway.)
DISCLAIMER: Don't own anything, not the characters, not any songs mentioned nada!

"Eugh!" Shane groaned as we stood outside the big stone building that had "Sun Valley High" on the front. "I can't believe we're back here already!"
"I don't really mind being back." Nate smiled.
Shane rolled his eyes, "You wouldn't mind...nerd." Shane whispered the last part but Nate heard and elbowed him in the ribs.
"Green is so not a good colour on you." Nate smirked.
"Me jealous of you don't make me laugh!" Shane said putting on a fake laugh.
Nate rolled his eyes, "Well, I'd be jealous of someone with my intellect if I was as dumb as you."
Shane and Nate continued to bicker as I started searching through the crowds for the girl that made coming to school worthwhile.
"Awk Jase, not again." Shane frowned breaking me away from my search. "Why do you bother with her?"
"Yeah, she's so stuck up!" Nate agreed before his eyes went wide. "Speak of the devil."
I turned around and there she was her beautiful blond hair swaying as she walked with her pink diamante encrusted phone at her ear. Her voice was like a siren's song to me I smiled goofily as she walked past us but she was too busy talking to smile back...I wish that was the case I thought miserably.
"See dude, you don't even register on her radar." Shane commented.
"Shut up, Shane." Nate hissed. "Dude, don't listen to him maybe this will be your year." He smiled reassuringly patting me on the arm. "Although I don't see what you see in Tess Tyler." He screwed his face up saying her name. "But whatever makes you happy." He shrugged as we walked towards the entrance of the school.
She would make me happy, she was the girl of my dreams and she was flawless in my eyes...I wished my two friends could see that.
"You don't see what's inside of her like I do." I commented.
"Well lend me the x-ray glasses you watch her with and I'll see then." Shane chuckled.
I frowned at him, "Aw you're just hilarious aren't you!"
"Shane be nice if Jason likes her then we should try to like her too." Nate said as he led us to our lockers.
"Thank you, Nate" I said smirking at Shane who just made a face at me. "Anyway, what class do you's have first?" I asked changing the subject.
"Je suis en français!" Nate smiled happily.
Shane and I raised our eyebrows at him.
"It means I'm in French." Nate said rolling his eyes at us.
"Why couldn't you just say that?" Shane asked blankly.
Nate opened his mouth then shut it again before turning around to continue digging in his locker for his French text book.
"What about you, Shane?" I smiled.
"Um...hold on." Shane said before grabbing a balled up piece of paper from his back pocket and unfolding it, it made me laugh that coming to the end up the school year Shane still didn't know his timetable. "Yuk, I'm in chemistry. Lucky me!" He added sarcastically. "You?"
"Music." I smiled back tapping my guitar case that was on my back.
Just then the warning bell went.
"Oh no, I'm gonna be late." Nate exclaimed slamming the door of his locker shut and taking off like a bullet towards his French classroom.
Shane and I shared a giggle at Nate before saying "bye" as we went in opposite directions to our class rooms.

"Would you's come on! We're gonna be late!" I yelled as I watched Mitchie and Caitlyn trying their best to get out of the back seat of my two door "Smart" car.
"Well, if your car had four doors we could get out faster." Caitlyn commented squeezing through the gap behind the front seat and stumbling out of the car.
Before I could retaliate there was a thud and then a whimper, "Ow."
"Mitchie, are you o.k.?" Caitlyn and I chorused.
"Just peachy." She said through gritted teeth using the car to pull herself up.
"Maybe, until the summer holidays we should take my car." Caitlyn suggested.
"Are you joking me, that gas guzzler you might as well just go up to the ozone layer and cut a hole in it yourself. "
Caitlyn and Mitchie rolled their eyes but I ignored them and continued my rant.
"That is why I brought the "Smart" car its battery operated so it doesn't emit carbon dioxide or anything else that destroys our environment."
"Yes o.k. Ells we know." Mitchie smiled leading us towards the entrance of our school.
"O.k. but I call shot gun for the rest of the term." Caitlyn yelled the last bit so Mitchie could hear.
I rolled my eyes as I locked my car and followed them.
*************************************************************
We had just stepped in the door when the warning bell rang.
"Great, we're…" But before Caitlyn could finish she was sent flying to the ground.
"Ow." Caitlyn and a curly haired boy chorused as the picked themselves up from the floor.
"Hi, Nate." Mitchie and I giggled together.
"Hi." Nate said quickly before looking towards Caitlyn again. "Sorry, Caity. Are you o.k.?"
"I'm just fine." Caitlyn said sarcastically as she dusted herself off. "Where are you going in such a rush?"
"French." He blushed slightly. I couldn't tell if he was embarrassed about rushing to class or was it just a reflex action when he was around Caitlyn, it was so obvious he had a crush on her.
"Oh." Caitlyn smiled in delight. "That's my first class too." And with that she entwined her arm with his and they were walking off towards their class together.
Mitchie and I giggled together for a while before she glanced at the clock on the wall, "I gotta go, my chemistry teacher is a real dragon if you aren't on time." She smiled before rushing off down the corridor.

"You're first to arrive Mr Bourne!" Mrs Smith smiled. "And you've came prepared." She said glancing to the guitar case I was shrugging off my shoulder.
I smiled shyly and nodded before taking the seat I sat in last semester at the back of the room.

I didn't have to look at my timetable to know where I was I felt the butterflies already, they always started when I was in class with Jason. I smiled to myself I had missed him so much over Spring Break, I wonder if he missed me too? But what I really hoped for was that he got over Tess and maybe realised that he liked me as more than a friend.
All I could do was hope I thought as I entered the class room and glanced at the back corner to where we sat together.

As I routed around my back pack for my favourite plectrum two feet wearing sequin covered converse appeared.
"I'd know those shoes anywhere." I smiled widely looking up to find my best female friend Ella standing wearing her famous bright smile.
She seemed different from last semester somehow; her hair was the same, her tan skin was a shade darker but that wasn't it and her smile was just as I remembered but there was something. I shrugged it off and got up pulling her into a tight hug maybe it was just because I didn't see her over the Spring break I thought something was different.
"How was Mexico?" I smiled. "And you're gran?"
"It was amazing." She beamed. "And gran's great she was so excited about my visit that she had a different thing planned for each day."
"Sound's awesome. Any pictures?"
"They're being developed but you'll be the first one that gets to see them." She promised.
"I'm glad you had fun, Ell." I smiled. "I missed you though." I said putting on a puppy dog pout.
"I missed you too." She giggled. "Bet work wasn't the same without me either." She smirked.
"Everyday's the same in Barney's, burgers, burgers, burgers and more burgers. But it wasn't as much fun without you." I assured her through giggles.
"Quiet down, people." Mrs Smith called and then waited as everyone stopped their conversations. "So, this semester we are going to focus on team work." Everyone stared around them in confusion to see if their neighbour knew what she was on about. Mrs Smith giggled slightly before continuing, "You's will team up in pairs or groups of 3 or 4 and write your own song and compose the music for it. By the last week of term you's will have to present your song to the class and this will account for 50% of your grade along with the 50% the written exam accounted for last semester to get your final mark for this year."
There were a few sighs of relieve but the groans drowned them out.
"I think this will be fun. Partners?" Ella beamed.
"Of course." I smiled high fiving her.
"So, what will our song be about?" Ella smiled brightly as she brought out a small notebook and pen getting ready to write down some ideas.
"Well...I sorta...wrote a few over Spring Break. If you wanna take a look at those?" I asked nervously.
"Sure." She smiled enthusiastically.
I handed her the small red book I had my arm on and watched as she carefully read over the lyrics wrote on the pages inside.
A lot of emotions washed over her face but as she came to the last page she frowned slightly but when she looked up at me she was smiling again.
"I guess that one's about Tess right?"
"Yeah." I smiled shyly.
She looked away slightly then back again, "They're all really good Jase but maybe we should work on something together I don't want you to do the assignment by yourself."
"Oh...right...um sure." I said putting on a smile trying to cover the disappointed in my voice.

I seen the hurt I had unintentionally caused him as he dragged the book back across the table and put it back under his arm.
"But I'd love to hear some of them sometime maybe this weekend or something?" I smiled brightly at him.
His bright smile returned to his face, "That would be awesome."
We spent the reminder of the hour brainstorming with no luck so as we went for lunch we promised to pick it up again tomorrow.
