A/N: This is the first fic I've written in a LONG while, so I'm saying sorry now if it starts off a bit rough as I get back into the swing of things. Please bear with me, thanks.


A New Start

'One more class till I'm free for the weekend.' thought Katherine as she gathered up her text books slowly. 'Why must I take gym anyway?' the poor girl wondered, leaving the class to head towards her locker.

Placing her books on the top shelf of her full sized locker, Katherine sighted and rested her forehead on the cool metal of the lockers door.

"Aww. Look at the little cat's pity party." whispered a preppy female with shoulder length pastel brown hair to another blond preppy girl.

"You know," the blond said, "I do believe PE is the only class she isn't acing. Don't you think we should help her out?" giggling the two girls casually started toward Katherine and her locker, still open.

With a quick hip bump and a push on her upper arm, the two girls slammed their target into her locker. "World closing in on ya Kitty?" they sneered as they spun the dial on the locker to keep her inside, both of them laughed loudly leaving poor Katherine trapped.

"H-Hey! Riley, let me out!" banging her tiny fists against the locker, Katherine sighed yet again. 'This is what I get for being caught up in my own head that I didn't Riley and Amy sneak up on me.' Rattling the door yet again Kitty, as she'd preferred to be called, growled slightly. "Grrayah!"

With one last try, the small brunette slumped in defeat, only to pass right on through the cold metal. "Ah!" the shocked high school student yelped as she phased out into the hallway and onto the floor right as the tardy bell rang. "Freaky." She muttered as she gazed down at her hands. 'This is so not my day.'

Picking herself up, Kitty quickly dusted off while running down the hall. So busy hurrying off to the changing room, Kitty completely missed the greasy looking male standing by the bathroom holding a can of spray paint. Keeping his eyes on the fleeing female, the dark hared boy felt a devilish smirk tug at the corner of his mouth. With that little mutant playing on his team, getting the midterms would be a piece of cake.

'You can run,' He thought, his brown eyes never leaving Katherine's retreating form, 'but you can't hide. 'Cuse I'm gonna rock your world.' Now all he had to figure out was how to get her to notice him and talk long enough to convince herself that working with a punk like himself was a good idea. Shouldn't be too hard, he was probably the only guy at North Brook who saw the true beauty of what she just did, because he was just like her.


Now, I don't want to be one of those authors who begs for reviews, but a bit of feedback would be nice to know how I'm doing. Heck, I'll even take a few flames. 'Cuse like me or hate me, you're still thinking about me.
