CHAPTER 2: We were immediately ambushed as we walked into Robert E. Lee's high school. Such an imaginative school name isn't it? We were greeted with lots of 'hey's' and 'Good to see ya's'. We both nodded politely when something suddenly attacked us and squished us together. I gasped and saw a small head full of red curls. I managed to escape and fully looked back. Did I just say…curls?

"Bonnie! What in the good name of Zeus did you do to your hair?" I demanded, tugging on a curly ringlet. She pulled away from Elena and smiled widely at me before fluffing out her bangs.

"Do you like it? I think it makes me look taller." She said brightly. I pouted.

"But I like midget you. You were the same height in preschool. Brings back the memories." I teased. She rolled her eyes.

"Oh ha ha. That's hilarious." She said, sarcasm dripping off every word. I held up my hands.

"Easy wild cat. Just stating a fact." I joked and we both grinned at each other. I missed her. We were bestest of friends in pre that then I made the stupid mistake of introducing her to Elena. Now we have our separate group of friends but we were tied for popularity. Anyways Bonnie was instantly swept away in Elena's charm that she had since she was born. Sigh. It's not fair I say! We remained friends but we were distant and she would always pick Elena not poor little ol' me. Meredith makes me nervous with her knowing eyes and her seriousness. She's too grave for me. It kinda creeps me out. Caroline is a good friend. I mean she hates both of us but she likes me more than Elena. That's a good thing, right? I hope. Then Meredith started spouting some nonsense about us tanning which will never happen in our life. We're as pale as Bonnie here while Meredith was a pretty olive color and Caroline was, well, she was bronze. It went well with her auburn hair though. I rolled my eyes.

"Gotta jet. See ya later." I flashed a peace sign then sprinted out of there. Whenever I'm around them, I get chills. I started over to my groups' usual place; in front of the schools steps. I grinned in relief when I saw everyone there.

"Welcome back baby." Winnie said, raising her latte cup at me. I grinned and swiped it before taking a sip. Ah, I love coffee. She scowled and snatched it back. She was a cute strawberry blonde and yet another shorty. But trust me, she makes up for it with her personality. She has the smallest smattering of freckles on the bridge of her nose and the rest is a flawless honey color. Her eyes are to die for. They're this amazing green and they sparkle with energy. They look just like the emeralds on her promise ring. I am so jealous. Today she wore a black beanie on her head, dark skinny jeans and a royal purple shirt that has a T-rex holding a Pb&J sandwich. Or at least trying to. They have small arms and all. She also wore these killer wedges. They were black but had these cool golden swirls on them.

Justin is her elder brother by a total of ten months and I swear that dude is a freaking giant. He's already like 6'3" and he is only in high school. That's way taller than my 5'6". Jeeze. He has this wild dark chocolate skater hair with antifreeze colored tips that constantly gets in his eyes. His eyes, his eyes! They are the exact color of a chocolate mint that can melt any girl into a puddle. I knew first hand because he is always using it on me. Jackass. Anyways his eyes are not hazel, they are chocolate-mint. He seemed to gotten a tan this summer. Lucky. Winnie and him are polar opposites but somehow they actually love each other. They never had a fight like ever and frankly it scares me. I don't know how they do it and honestly I don't want to know. The fights Elena and I have are waaay to entertaining to give up. Make war not peace is what I say. Today he was wearing a matching beanie with Winnie and has regular dark denim, a fit white tee shirt with his jacket slung over his shoulder. His Adidas were as scuffed up as ever as he kept rolling his skateboard back and forth idly while he talked to Wisty.

Wisty was one of the major trendsetters in school and one of the sweetest girls you will ever meet. She has long brown locks that fell just past her elbow and she has the freaking Bambi eye thing going on for her with thick eyelashes to match. She is also dating Justin. She and Justin are the cutest couple ever in the history of this school as voted by the school yearbooks ever since freshman year. They've been going strong since junior high and it was clear in his eyes. Today she wore a purple scarf over her dark gray tank. She had high waisted shorts and some jeweled flip flops. Her hair had two chop sticks sticking out a bun as the rest fell down loosely. She gave me a wink before returning to her conversation. Something about her new puppy... which I didn't know she had gotten. How could she not tell me?! I love puppies!

Finally there was Celestial. Celestial was a transfer from New York because her dads' job moved him here like one and a half years ago but she got along great with us right away. She had real golden hair that usually flew wherever it wants to go. Seriously. She doesn't even bother brushing it but doesn't exactly need to since it can't be knotted. We all tried but failed. Amazing. Her eyes were gray like mine but instead of purple covering it she had bits of gold splashing her iris. She looked how I'd imagine a pixie or fairy would look like. She has those dimples that make her look mischievous even when she is dead serious about something, her slender body seems to glide instead of walk, which makes her look even more than her usual gracefulness. She is actually a real ballerina and seriously talented. Today she was wearing a simple green sundress that complimented her figure with her ballet flats. She was stretching, something she does when she gets bored or anxious.

"What's with that long face?" Justin teased and picked me up so he could twirl me around really fast.

"I don't want to go in there. Now put me down!" I shrieked. I can get dizzy real fast sometimes and it really isn't fun for me. He laughed and gently settled me down. I stumbled into Celestial who reached an arm out to steady me.

"So not cool." I moaned. "Wisty control your boyfriend." She rolled her eyes at Justin's puppy dog face.

"Hey, you're still pale." Winny noticed. I smirked warily.

"Thanks." I drawled out.

"Oh no offence but I though you would join me in the honey skin." She held her arm out so we could all compare our skin.

"Honey, I can only dream of your skin. Apollo cursed me to be forever without his skin turning skills." I sighed. They're used to me saying ancient Greek gods names as if they were still here.

"At least you don't burn." Celestial said and rubbed her back, I frowned in sympathy. Sunburns suck. I mean I never had one but Aunt Judith complains. We started up the steps slowly.

"So how were the French cuties?" Wisty finally burst out. Justin gave her an incredulous look and she shrugged innocently. "I can't ask? What is it guys say? You can look but you can't touch?" She said with a smirk and he sighed but brung her closer to him. We all giggled over his possessiveness.

"I need guy friends."

"But none of them would be as hot as us." We struck a pose right there. He snorted.

"Yeah. They'll be better."

"You gotten ruder over the summer. I knew I should've stayed! You are clearly suffering from Stacy withdrawal." I cried and gave him a hug.

"Group hug!" Celestial cried and we all mobbed Justin.

"Help!" He shouted but Winnie muffled it with her hand. He managed to push us away and I laughed.

"Poor baby." I cooed and he shot me the finger. I narrowed my eyes at him.

"So, how were they?" Wisty hurriedly asked, trying to distract me. And it worked. I sighed dreamily and thought back to our whole summer of wine, French cuisines and crisp days, and the gardener next door.

"They were alright. The guys I picked weren't that great but the wine was fan-tast-ic." I drawled out. We all laughed but went quiet as we heard a car driving in. And this one actually purrs. We turned around slowly and gaped at the beauty in front of us.

"Jesus." I breathed out. It was a sleek 911 Turbo cruising around the lot.\, drawing lots of attention to whoever it was/

"Did anyone hit the lottery when I disappeared?" I asked incredulously.

"No. Must be a new student." Celestial said thoughtfully.

"Please be a guy. Please be a guy." Winny prayed under her breath with her fingers crossed. I nudged her shoulder and she winked at me. I shaded my eyes from the sun as the newbie stepped out and squealed.

"It's a guy!" I confirmed happily.

"And a hot one at that." Wisty added. Justin's face was one of dismay and she grinned widely.

"But, I have to say, my man is hotter." She giggled and kissed his cheek. He frowned but had to give a grudging smile at her. Celestial grabbed my arm tightly.

"Look at that jacket! It's Italian!" She said excitedly and used me to steady her as she stood on her tip toes.

"How do you know?! He's on the other half of the parking lot!" Winny asked in amazement. She smiled impishly.

"I have an eye for these sort of things." She said mysteriously and went back to looking at the dude.

"Whatever. I need to go. I didn't pick up my schedule the other day," I said and turned around. "So see you guys later?" They nodded and continue to gawk at him. Justin was doing it for Wisty's benefit. That boy is whipped.

"Uh oh." I whirled back around.

"What's wrong? Nothing good comes out of 'uh oh'!" I demanded.

"Elena has that look on her face." I groaned and face palmed.

"But I like Matt. God dammit Elena." I cursed.

"His heart is going to be broken. You know how much he loves Elena." Winny sighed sadly. I nodded and frowned.

"I gotta go." I said and entered the high school of doom.

Was'sup everyone?! I am supposed to be asleep right now but frankly I don't wanna... sorry. What does the fox say just came on from Youtube. I love the song but if you don't then.. umm.. well :P Don't judge me! Well this chapter was mainly about Stacy's friends which I'm not even sure are even important but whatevs. Well we had mostly all week off. exception monday, last week and I don't really want to go back because I am a procastainator (I think it's spelled like that) and didn't do my homework :/ oops. And apparently we had school on Saturday which I obviously didn't go to. I mean come on! School on friggin Saturday?! I don't think so. Happy late Forever Alone Day btw. I got an cuddly owl which I'd named Unicorn and a thing of Warheads. And today I got a pacifer of sour candy:) I think I'm going to eat it at school and see what kind of reactions I'll get. Seems promising don't you think? Byyyyyyye!
