I have noticed a growing need for CSI High school stories. Here is my Miami one. Vegas and New York ones are still in production.

Calleigh was new, and there was no doubt about it. Tim was new, but only his tan showed it. They both sat in Mrs Woods's classroom for registration. Tim sat on his own while Calleigh had made friends with a small group of people: Eric Delko, Natalia Boa-Vista, Ryan Wolfe and Maria Matthews. Tim watched as a curvy brunette walked over to him, he turned away and stared at the table as he felt her sit beside him.

"Hey there." She said cheerfully.

"Um… hi." He mumbled.

"Are you alright?" She asked smiling.

"Yeah… I just miss New York." He mumbled again.

"Are you from New York? Where about? I'm from Harlem." She responded happier than before.

"Upper East Side on Madison. Are you new as well?" He asked hopefully.

"Not this year. I moved last year." She replied, noticing his eyes wander over to her friends. "Come over. Calleigh is new this year too."

The pair got up and walked over to the table. Maria introduced Tim to the rest of the group before taking her seat between Tim and Ryan. They sat enjoying each other's company until Mrs Woods came in and told them to pipe down. Once the register was done, she made them go around the room; say their names, where they are from originally and why they moved to Miami. Tim felt Maria tense up at the same time as him. They'd managed to get around the class without any incident. Tim watched as Maria took a deep breath and stood. She smiled and said:

"My name is Maria Matthews, I am from Harlem in Manhattan and I moved here because my brother got a scholarship at U of M."

She was lying. He saw it in her eyes when she sat down. Now it was his turn. He stood up slowly and looked around the classroom, he opened his mouth but no sound came out. He swallowed hard and tried again this time he spoke:

"My name is… um… Tim Speedle. I am from the Upper East Side in Manhattan and I moved because…" He stopped and thought about what Maria had said. "I moved because my parents divorced and I live with my Mom."

It wasn't a complete lie. But it wasn't exactly the truth either. He sat back down. Maria nudged him and gave him a reassuring smile when he looked at her. She knew he was lying. The day passed relatively smoothly, Tim and Maria had all the same classes and sat beside each other the whole day. At the end of the day they met up with the rest of their junior friends to say good-bye and got on their different busses. Tim and Maria lived on the same street and so the walked together once the bus dropped them off at the top of the street. When they were alone they began to speak to each other.

"Do you mind if I ask why you really moved here?" Maria asked.

"My Dad was abusive. Mom wanted a fresh start." He said quickly. "But don't tell anyone I don't need or want their pity."

"I would never." She said solemnly. "Sorry about your Dad. That sucks."

"What about you? Why'd you move?"

"My Step Dad killed my Mom I ran away from care and came here to live with my brother, Lou, who is now my legal guardian."

"I'm sorry."

"Me too." She smirked, coming to a halt. "This is me. Where do you live?"

"Back up the street." He laughed.

"Really?" She giggled.

"Yeah thought I should walk you home. Manners and all." Tim said shyly.

"Well… Thank you." She kissed his cheek and skipped up to the house.

Tim watched her skip up to the house before walking back to his house. He opened the door to the smell of freshly baked cookies. He sighed and walked into the kitchen. He saw his mom busying herself around the kitchen, making cakes, pies, cookies etc. She had been a nurse since she was young and had quit her job when she had Tim, now though she was looking for a new nursing job. He smirked before walking over to the coffee machine and making himself an espresso. He took the hot caffeine shot and headed up to his room quietly. He sat in his near empty bedroom. They had only moved in a week ago and had hardly any furniture. In his bedroom he had a mattress, a desk and a stool. His clothes were still in boxes and his possessions were on the floor. He took out his science homework and set to work writing out chemical equations.

Maria had walked in to Lou's brightly coloured home, courtesy of his fiancée. His fiancée, Penny, was a tall blonde woman who was usually perfectly toned, but had in the last 7 months grown a baby bump, courtesy of Lou. Penny was an Elementary school teacher and had started redecorating the house when she found out she was pregnant. She was a couple months away from maternity leave and still worked full days. Lou had been in the army for years, but had retired and become an MDPD detective. Maria entered her bedroom and dumped her bag on the floor, before heading back downstairs and in to the kitchen. She made herself a cup of tea and grabbed a bag of chips before heading back to her room to complete her homework.
