It was the first day back at school after summer and she was sitting with her friends, they were talking about their summer. But all she could do was think back to her summer.

"Gail, where did you go?" Nick asked and waived his hand in front of her. Gail looked around realizing they all were looking at her.

"Oh, no, just thinking" she answered coming back to reality.

"Something interesting or maybe I should say someone" Tracy teased. Before Gail could answer her the first bell rang.

"Maybe I tell you sometime" Gail said with a grin and took her bag and went off for class.

"I get it out of you at lunch just so you know" Tracy shout after her. Gail turns to look at her friends and just shakes her head no, and keeps on walking.

She's sitting alone at one of the middle tables in kem-class waiting for the tetcher, Jackson. The rest of the class is sitting in pairs talking, while Gail start to think back to the summer again, when Jackson walks in.

"Hey, juniors. Good to be back." he says smiling.

"Yeah, being a junior, back at school no." Josh answers. Jackson let out a small laugh.

"That was my answer then to." he says.

"Okay, this fall you are going to work in pairs. And no, you are not going to choose I am. I'll read up your names, first name I read take your seat beside you partner. And those are your seats this fall." Jackson continues.

Gail sigs, knowing she's probably be the one doing the heavy work in the paring, since no one likes to work with her and don't really care about kem-class. And Jackson starts to read of the names.

"Peck" Gail looks up to see who she will be working with. "I was planning to let you work alone, but since there is coming a new student. You are working together. Be nice." Jackson says.

After class she can hear someone say "I feel sorry for the new kid". But she try to ignore it, she know the class never liked her. Jackson comes to her table

"I was planning letting you work alone but I was told this morning that we get a new student. I hope it is okay for you to take on the new student." he says.

"Yeah" she says with a nod. And walk out to next class. Hoping it's not some lacy kid coming.

She walks in to the cafeteria and sees Nick siting at their usual round table at the windows. "How is it going" Nick asks.

"Well, the usual. And when I finally Jackson was going to let me work alone, but it turns out there's a new kid in town. And I got the new kid as partner." Gail answers.

"New kid?" Andy asks and sits down between Nick and Gail. Gail nods.

"Name?" Tracy says and takes the seat to the left off Gail.

"No, ide"

"What you just got partners up in class first day with a new kid and you don't remember the name." Dov says beside Tracy.

"No, I didn't forget, not even Jackson knew."

"Oh" Dov say and looks a bit guilty.

"Yeah, oh, I'm not that much of an idiot that I don't remember a new name Dov." Gail says. They all know that both her and Steve been taught to remember new things and fast. So everything that helps picking up new information they did and still do when relatives is visiting. "New kid's coming tomorrow apparently" Gail continues.

"Now, that we know that. Back to where we were this morning Gail, who were you thinking of." Tracy said. She gets a look from Gail telling not now. "Or maybe later"

"Gail come on we told you about our summer this morning. And we all saw each other this summer except you 'cues you were of at some camp." Andy says.

"Gail, come on. It was obvious this morning that you were thinking of someone" Nick said smiling at her. "We know you want to play all tuff but we all know that's not who you are" Realizing she's not getting out of it she decide to give them a breadcrumb. Knowing see son had to go to class.

"Well, let's see. Summer camp was fun. Not exactly what I was expecting. Meet some new people, some more interesting than others." Gail is finishing with a big smile. At the same time her phone rings. When she sees whose calling her smile gets even bigger.

"Did she just smile like a goof, or was it just me?" Tracy asks.

"No, she was. And I think I heard wrong, but did she just say beautiful?" Nick asks. They turn to lock at Gail, then back at each other. "No" They all say at the same time.

"Or maybe" Tracy continue. The others look at her like she's crazy. "What, look at her have either of you ever seen her smile that wide?"

Nick, Dov and Andy look at Gail again and realize Tracy might be right about that.
