Hi. I hope you like this chapter!

"Hi, I'm Lily. I guess I'll be going to your school." She said, being the first to speak.

"Hi, yea. They mentioned today that there was gonna be a new girl." Parker said walking more towards her.

They both took in each other's appearances. Lily instantly took in his perfect blond curls, dimples and deep brown eyes. He was tall, but he wouldn't tower over her, only a few inches. Overall, he was very... Pleasing to look at. But he wasn't overwhelmingly hot. Just... Really cute.

Parker, on the other hand, took in her long, perfectly straight brown hair, her cherry smile with dimples, and her bright brown eyes. She was obviously Latina by her... uh, curves... and skin color, a deep rich olive that was... Different. Yet, it was perfect.

"So you kids get to know each other, since you will be schoolmates." Booth said, and left the teens alone.

Parker sat down on the couch next to Lily. "So, where are you from?" He asked.

"I'm a California girl. So instantly, this weather is something I'm not used to." She giggled, which Parker found adorable.

"Oh, yea. We're more snow and rain than rainbows and sunshine."

"I'm not from, like, LA, with palm trees and sun all the time. I'm from the north, near San Francisco. Lots of rain, fog, clouds. It's just the snow that gets me." She stated.

"Oh really. I guess I just imagine California like in the movies." He paused.

"So why are you staying with Daisy? Just a vacation, or how long are you staying?"

"Um, well. My parents are divorcing. My mom and I are gonna live here in D.C., but she thought it would be better if I come first and start getting used to life over here." She said, stiffly.

"Oh, I'm sorry for asking. If you don't want we don't have to talk about that."

He said, worried.

"No, it's totally ok. I like it when people ask questions. It makes me feel as if they actually care about me." She laughed.

"Ok, well, do you not have any siblings?" He asked.

"I have a brother, but he's 21 and in college. Once he graduates, he'll either come here, or go find something to do back in Cali." She told him. "Daisy's has always super helpful. She's actually my dad's sister, but she loves my mom more than my dad. Enough about me! What about you? Do you have any siblings? Tell me about your family."

"Well, my parents were never married in the first place, so they could never divorce. My mom is still single and had custody of me until like a month ago. We went off to England a couple years ago, then came back and my parents decided it was best if I spent my time with my dad now. So I now live with him, my stepmom, and my little sister, Christine." He responded.

"Oh that's cool. That they get along well to just be able to decide that. I'm babysitting your little sister and Angela's son tonight actually."

"Oh you are? Cool. I guess I could babysit with you. I've done it before, and they are really easy. They practically entertain themselves. This is, if you want me to come." He said.

"Oh yea. Totally. That would be awesome." Lily said.

"Totally? I don't think I've ever heard anyone actually use that in context." Parker laughed.

"It's a Cali thing. Along with hella." She said.

"What's hella mean?"

"Like, really. You say that's hella awesome. Hella sick." She explained.

"Hm. So tell me more about yourself. Like your family, hobbies, birthday..."

"Family. I told you my immediate family. My mom has 6 brothers and 2 sisters. Lots of cousins and second cousins. I'm Peruvian, so a lot of my family lives over there. My dad has 2 sisters and a brother. And he's just white. So yea. Hobbies. Music, specifically flute, although I love singing and stuff. I was on the yearbook staff back at my school in California. I loved that. And I play volleyball. Birthday. April 27th. So I'll be 14." She quickly answered. "Now you go."

"Ok, well family. My dad has a brother. His dad was an alcoholic and his mom ran away, though she came back like 2 years ago. My mom's an only child, nothing interesting there. My stepmom has a brother who is married and has 2 daughters. Her parents abandoned her at 15, but her mom died and her dad came back when I was like 5. Hobbies. I like to play hockey, but I'm not that good at it. I'm pretty good in school mostly because of my stepmom. She's really smart. And birthday. January 21st. So I'm 14." I said.

"And now we know each other better." She said.

"That we do."

They talked for a while, then at 6, they all went home. Lily was telling Daisy her day with Parker.

"So what do you think of him." Daisy asked.

"He's really nice. I guess we're friends now, so I won't be alone when I start school." She replies.

"Well yea, but do you think he's hot or something?" Daisy asks.

"He's hot, but I don't know him well enough yet to have a crush on him. He might have a girlfriend." Lily said, slightly saddened by this realization.

Soon enough, Monday rolled around. Lily and Parker babysat Christine and Michael on Friday night, getting to know each other even better. Now Parker walked with Lily to the office, where she would get her schedule.

"Ok let's see. We have second period science together, we both have sixth period lunch, and we have fifth period advanced math. Sadly, we don't have anything else." Parker frowned.

"Yea that sucks. But I guess I'll have to make friends in my other classes." Lily said. The first bell rang. "Ok so I have to go. I'll see you in science."

"Yea, ok bye!" Parker said and they both headed in different directions.

Lily walked into her first period class, Publications. A friendly looking girl instantly approached her. "Hi! I'm Isabella. You must be the new girl! What's your name?" She asked.

"I'm Lily. Do you know where the teacher," she looked at her schedule, "uh...

Mrs. Lulsh is?"

"Mrs. Lulsh usually comes talks to the cooking teacher across the hall. She'll be in when the second bell rings." Isabella explained. "So, were you in the Publications class at your old school?"

"Yea, I was. Last year too. I love doing it." Lily said.

"Me too! What are your other classes?" She asked.

The girls exchanged schedule, realizing that they had English (3rd), History (4th), lunch (6th), band (7th), and PE (8th) together. So they were generally together the whole day. They both played flute, and Isabella was currently first chair. They were getting each other's phone numbers and Instagrams when bell rang and the teacher walked in.

"Hello class. We have a new student today. Can you please stand up, uh, Lily Wick?" She said sweetly. Lily stood. "Ok, now everyone get to work, Lily come over to my desk so I can explain this class to you."

Once she had explained everything (the theme this year was Instagram and she was assigned the Band spread with Isabella) Lily got to work.

After a while, she has done what she could, so she went to talk to Isabella.

"So, besides me, have you made any friends?" Isabella asked.

"Yea, well my aunt works with this one kids dad and stepmom so we really got to know each other this weekend. His name is Parker Booth. Do you know him?" Lily asked.

Isabella's jaw dropped. "Do I know him? He's pretty popular! Not like at the top, because all those kids are on weed and crack, but like, maybe the third level. I'm, like, at the 10th."

"Really? Most of my experience with popular people is that they're really bitchy. Parker's really nice and sweet." Lily stated.

"Yep. He's genuinely nice. But, surprisingly, not a bunch of girls want him. Like yea he's had like 2 girlfriends, but not a ton."

"Oh. Well I have my next class with him. And I'm gonna be walking home with him everyday."

"Well, you'll have him and me to guide you through school today. I'm introduce you to my friends in English." Just then, the bell rang. "Have fun in science." Isabella said as they went their separate ways.

Lily made her way to her second period class, with a little more confidence than what she started with that day.
