Next chapter, don't get used to them being uploaded this quickly though, procrastination is my middle name after all.

Mistakes are mine and I own nothing!

Greg dragged Sara over to a classroom in the science block. Taking seats in the second row, they both took out their timetables to compare their next lessons.

"You're taking photography?" Greg asked her, catching sight of her last lesson. "My Mum wouldn't let me take that after I accidently broke her camera by dropping it off the roof. I think Archie's taking it though."

"What were doing with a camera on the roof?" Sara asked. It seemed a little odd even for Greg.

"Bird watching," he replied, making it seem like it was the most obvious thing in the world. Considering this was Greg it probably was the most obvious conclusion.

"You watch birds?" Sara wasn't sure she'd heard right. She didn't think Greg could keep still long enough not to scare the birds away.

"Pesky magpie stole my watch. I was waiting for him to drop it."

"Right, how come I didn't think of that?" Sara shook her head at his antics. "Do you think that's Dr. Grissom?" She said, pointing at the man who had just entered the room.

"I'm Dr. Grissom but just call me Grissom. Dr. sounds too formal." The teacher turned around and started writing the date on the board.

"Nah must be some other teacher." Greg answered Sara's previous question.

Sara stuck her tongue out at him in reply. "Do you think he'll be a good teacher?"

"It's my first biology lesson too, but my brother had him last year; apparently all he ever talks about is bugs. Still managed to get everyone to pass though." Greg said.

"Sounds like an interesting teaching method."

Greg nodded, "got a bit boring after a while apparently."

"I can imagine." Sara said, writing the date and title in her book. She did her best to ignore Greg when they were told to do the book work but his questions were endless.

"Sara, what's transpiration? Why do leaves need oxygen and carbon dioxide? Sara, Sara! I don't get it!"

"I thought you were good at science Greg." Sara had given up on ignoring him and was now repeatedly hitting her head on the table.

"I am but its fun annoying you." He told her, smiling mischievously. Sara hit him in the arm and then returned to doing her own work.

"Shut up, Greg. I swear I'm moving seats next lesson!" Sara said.

"But you love me," Greg exclaimed. "How could you bear to leave me?" His eyes were wide with fake hurt and on his face was a wounded expression.

"Oh believe me, I'll survive." Sara answered.

"You break my heart, Sidle." He held his chest and gave her puppy-dog eyes. Sara laughed at him and turned back to her work yet again.

"You're hearts on the other side Sanders." Grissom told him. Both Greg and Sara looked up, wearing identical looks of shock. Neither of them had noticed him standing there and wondered how much of the conversation he'd heard.

"I knew that," Greg said hastily. "I was just…testing Sara here on the human anatomy."

"Good enough excuse Greg but we're meant to be learning about plant anatomy, not human anatomy." With that Grissom turned to walk away but Greg's shout stopped him.

"How'd you know who I was?" He asked.

"I had your brother last year, he told the class about some of your funnier escapades." Grissom said. "Did you really blow up the bathroom when you were twelve?"

Greg looked sheepish as Sara laughed at him. "It was an accident. I just wanted to find out what happened when you light fireworks inside."

"And you were surprised at the result?" Sara asked. Trying to hide her obvious amusement, needless to say she was failing, miserably.

"Yeah well, I bet you did stupid stuff when you were little too." Sara stopped laughing and froze. Greg sensed her discomfort and faced her, a puzzled expression on his face. "What happened Sar?"

Sara checked to see whether Grissom was still there but he had returned to his desk and was engrossed in a conversation with a spider. "I just had a bit of a weird childhood." She told him, careful not to mention anything too precise.

Greg nodded slowly, "I understand if you don't want to tell me." He said, "but I'm here if you need me."

"Thanks Greggo."

"Greggo?"

Sara shrugged and grinned, "It sounds cute." She explained, watching Greg's facial expression turn from mock-outrage to a goofy smile.

The bell suddenly went off and Greg jumped, "I didn't do any work!" He said, looking horrified.

"No, you were too busy bugging me." Sara said, rolling her eyes. "You can borrow my book tonight and copy what you missed."

"Thanks Sar, you're a life-saver."

She smiled smugly at him, "I know." Greg stuck his tongue out at her in response. "Very mature Greg."

"Well you did it earlier." He replied. "Look, there's Archie and Warrick." Sure enough the other members of the nerd society were waiting for them on a bench. A couple of taller kids were surrounding them and Warrick was looking unsure while Archie was yelling at the broad-shouldered teen that was in front of him.

"What's going on?" Asked Sara as she and Greg walked up to them.

"These freaks are on our bench." The large boy told her, his voice had a strong Texan accent and his brown hair fell over his forehead and was at the point of hiding his (also brown) eyes.

"I don't see your name on it." Sara told him calmly, walking over to where Warrick was sitting. The Texan grabbed her shoulder and pulled her back roughly.

"Leave her alone, Stokes!" Greg shouted, joining the growing crowd, he tried to help her but was held back by a couple of bigger kids.

The boy ignored him and yelled at Sara, "what are you doing, bitch?"

"Going to see my friends," Sara replied, her voice not wavering but a fierce defiance blazing in her eyes. Nick pushed her into a nearby bush and walked off, his friends following.

"Watch it, newbie." The blonde girl Sara had seen in registration snapped at her, as Sara got up.

Greg ran over to her and helped her up. "Good going Sara, you're on the wrong side of Nick Stokes and Catherine Braune already." He didn't seem angry, just amused and his eyes glittered with the usual mischief. "They hate us," he explained.

Archie and Warrick joined them, both of them shaking their heads and grinning. "I think we should go for pizza after school to celebrate Sara's official initiation." Archie suggested. They all agreed and turned to Sara.

She shrugged and grinned. "Sounds good to me."

Next chapter them at the pizza shop. Three guesses who else is there! Please review.
