Heres chapter two! Sorry if all the will's are not capital. Spell check doesn't pick it up.

-000-

Cass, jenny and I made our way into the cafeteria. As promised, we went over to sit with they boys. I don't get how Cass could be so casual around all the guys with all the confidence in the world. Jenny was just herself, cracking jokes and starting up conversations with whoever would listen, usually that meant Gilan.

I could tell he was very fond of jenny, but she is absolutely oblivious to the fact.

Then there was me. Too shy to show my face. Yeah I guess we, meaning Cass, jenny, Gilan, Horace, will and I, were probably what you would call the 'popular' kids. But we weren't intimidating, we were just cruising through high school and everyone looked up to us.

I put my stuff down on the table and carefully sat down. I sat next to Cass and across from will. I chanced a glance up in his direction to see what he was doing. He was on his phone, texting. I watched him for a bit but quickly adverted my gaze when I saw his head about to look up.

I shuddered at almost being caught staring and pretended to find something interesting about the wall to my left.

Cass was busy, engaged in a description of some new movie that was coming out and had her back to me.

I got lost in my thoughts, staring at the wall, and failed to notice someone come sit next to me.

I blinked and snapped back into reality. Will had made his way over and plonked himself casually on the seat beside me as he tucked his phone back into his pocket.

He looked at me and then looked at the wall that I was staring at. He looked like he was trying to make a picture out of a cloud. After a few seconds of scrutinizing the wall and trying to see why I was staring, he looked back at me confused and defeated.

"I don't get it."

I smiled at him, pushing my nerves away.

"Oh, I was just staring." I said with a nervous laugh.

He laughed at my uneasiness. "I know. So how are you?"

"Umm good, you?" I asked, not knowing what else to say.

"Yeah, I'm alright. Hey, you are doing chemistry, right?" he said looking me in the eyes. I bit my lip and held his gaze.

I was a bit conscious of my subjects because I was doing all the smarter ones. I laughed nervously again, "hmm yeah."

"Do you have it now?" he asked, geez he was full of questions.

But I liked it.

"Yeah, after lunch."

His smile lit up, "awesome! That means I'm in your class."

"What?" I wasn't expecting that.

"Well," he began, "biology was getting boring, so I asked if I could change to chemistry."

I was stunned. Oh no, I have a class with him. Well it's a good thing. But knowing me, I will do something embarrassing.

"Umm, Alyss?" will said uncertainly. I must have zoned out for a second.

"Oh, yeah um that's cool…I mean good, great." I finished off, trying to cover up my blunder but not succeeding at all.

Great, I have already embarrassed myself. He smiled a toothy smile and continued looking into my eyes.

"Oh hey, Alyss, can you come with me, I need to go see Mr. Watson." Cass grabbed my arm and basically dragged me from the table before I replied.

I quickly glanced back at will and mumbled sarcastically, "sure thing."

He laughed out loud at my statement and inside I felt happy that I made him laugh.

When we were outside the cafeteria, Cass dragged me around the corner of the nearest building. "Oh. My god." She said slowly.

"Umm, I don't see Mr. Watson." I stated.

"Hello!? Are you blind!?" she waved a hind in front of my face.

I raised one eyebrow, "you're Mr. Watson?" I asked, pretending to be serious.

Annoyed, Cass grabbed my arm and yanked it. "Ow." I murmured.

"Ok, we are going shopping." Cass said, as if that was the answer to the world's problems.

"Umm, why?" I asked confused.

"There is NO way that you are missing out on Horace's birthday."

I felt like I had just been stung. "What?"

"Oh come on! I saw you two, gazing into each others eyes for minutes."

"No Cass." I said, crossing my arms.

She sighed, "he obviously has a thing for you, Alyss."

The thought caught me by surprised, but I quickly denied it. "What!? No way Cass. He doesn't like me at all! I mean he's got the pick of the whole school. No way. Not me." I turned around and started walking to where my locker was.

Cass sighed, frustrated. "When are you going to wake up?" and continued back to the cafeteria.

The bell rang right as I got to my locker. I got my stuff out for chemistry and locked my locker again. I leaned up against it with my head back, wasting time. People came in and left while I just closed my eyes.

After a while I realised all the classes were getting in and started making my way to my class. I didn't care about being late, my teacher, Mrs. Letta, didn't care when you turned up.

I knocked on the door and waited for someone to open it because the doors are locked from the outside.

George, a nice guy that hung out around the library, shyly opened the door.

There was idle chat because Mrs. Letta wasn't in the room yet. I made my way to the back of the class and could hear whispers. 'I swear she's an angel…' 'Definitely the best…' 'Prettiest girl…'

Wherever I went I always got comments like that, but I personally thought that I was pretty average. Just normal blonde hair and grey eyes.

And I hated the attention.

Once I found a seat at the back, I put my stuff down and went over to the window where I could just see my reflection to tie up my hair.

I watched the leaves blow along the ground and the idle student walk past.

When I was done, I sat down and started drawing random pictures on my book.

Mrs. Letta entered the room and she addressed the class. "Good afternoon everyone. And before you ask, yes will is joining our class."

My head shot up. I forgot about will. Well, I never forget about him, I just forgot about his class switch.

Bye straight A chemistry grades.
