A/N Yay! Chapter 2's up, thank you all for the encouraging reviews. I am planning to do about 7-10 chapters but I think I might make my chapters shorter, maybe just one POV per chapter. Probably if I do that I will upload quicker, but tell me what you guys want. Also to answer your question about there being any romance, you'll have to wait and see.

E.D's POV

He had grown heaps since the last time I saw him, he had kept his hair cropped close to his scalp and although he did not have as many piercings in his ear his single silver eyebrow ring served as a reminder of what he had first looked like. His faced had changed too, naturally it had changed from a boy's to an adolescent but his eyes seemed older. Like he had seen too many things before his years, they seemed to droop with sadness and worry.

"So how was the new autumn musical? I heard it was another hit."He asked as I helped Zedidiah take Jake's stuff to his room. I could tell he was uncomfortable; he had stayed for the beginning of the Spring Musical before his social worker had called. We all figured it would be a weekend thing, never expected him to be gone for a whole 6 months.

"Oh it was ok" I replied quickly censoring my speech to make it seem less painful then it had to be. "It wasn't really the same without you…" My efforts were rewarded with a smile which made my mind boggle. Not because I hadn't seen his smile before. But because I hadn't realized how good looking he actually was, studying him made my heart wrench a little. It wouldn't be long till someone would realize that too. I mean what was not to like about Jake? He was thoughtful, kind in a rough around the edges way, a damn good singer, he had that certain charm that only a "bad-boy" had. I would be lying if I didn't say he wasn't a catch and a half. He also had the deepest, richest colored eye- Wait, this time I did shake my head. Jake was my friend. Only my friend, nothing less and certainly, never, something more.

General POV

As they entered Jakes room the smell of lavender was overpowering. Jake dropped his duffel onto the ground and sat on his bed. "So is the Creative Academy still up and running?" Jake asked, he would never admit it but he had learnt more in the several weeks he had spent at The Creative academy then at any other school.

E.D. fingered one of her rings and lay back on the bed beside him "Uh, yeah kind of. After the publicity of the musical the council decided to check up on us. We are still allowed to go to school here but we have to attend at least two days of school a week."

"Wow, how did everyone react to that" Jake asked a bit put out of the changes that had happened in the time span of 6 months. "I know you would have loved all that order, huh?"E.D. nodded happily then, suddenly remembering something looked up at him and grinned.

"You know what that means? You have to go back to attend. Dad asked the principal and he said they would take you back but only on the condition that you would only attending two days a week. And yes, it's different to what I remember but it is nice to meet new people. All the girls are really nice you'll like them, and the boys…Well you'll like them too."E.D. trailed off and started to blushed, school was the only place she had met other boys her age. Jake suddenly felt a bit annoyed, to cover up his unbalance he quirked one eyebrow and was about to say something snarky when E.D shot him a look. Now thinking about it E.D had always thought that the reason of the Creative Academy was to keep other people away from the Applewhites. But now the Creative Academy seemed to have kept Applewhites away from people. It was a strange thought. To divert Jake from her reddening cheeks she continued "It was a bit strange at first but I think now everyone I ok with it on different levels. I mean Cordelia is ecstatic because she gets to see her boyfriend Jared more." E.D's face grew hotter. "Hal hated it at first but I think it is growing on him he really seems to like computer technology. Destiny's gotten quite popular. And me. Well, I have a lot of new friends too…" E.D trailed off. She was sure that her face was now tomato red. Jake flopped down next to her turning his head slightly so he could grin at her, she smiled back as they both lay on the bed smirking slightly at each other.

A/N So, what do you think? Tell me by REVIEWING. New chapter will be in by next week aprox, though it may be a short one.
