Zatanna POV

I watched as the new girl sat with Patricia.

Out of all the girls to hang out with, why her?

Did they already know each other?

What the new girl a total bitch?

It couldn't be she was so shy and quiet looking. Maybe that was because she was new.

"I didn't know the new girl knew Patricia" Conner said.

"Apparently she does" I said.

"Wally please stop looking at her" Dick begged.

"I can't help it. She's cute and she seems awfully familiar" Wally said.

"Of course you think she's cute" Megan said with an eye roll.

"I'm going to go over to talk to her" I said.

I slowly got out of my chair and walked over to her. I still hadn't known her name. As I walked over I could see Patricia already giving me a glare. But as always I ignored her.

"Hi…we met in the hallway remember?" I said giving her my friendliest smile.

"Yeah…what was your name?" she asked.

"Zatanna"

"I'm Emily" she said.

"Nice to meet you-"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah her name is Emily and now you know now leave. Like, now" Patricia commanded.

I glared at her before turning back to Emily.

"I'll see you at lunch?" I asked.

"Nope. I'm sitting with Patricia" she replied.

I frowned. Does she really just not want to sit with us? What was the problem? Why did I care so much?

I walked over to the table. "She's with Patricia" I said.

"Oh well it's not like we wanted to be her friend for sure" Raquel said.

I sighed.

Artemis POV

Why are some people so damn persistent?

Zatanna had already talked to me twice in the last 20 minutes and I'm sure she wasn't going to let this go. "So where did you come from before?" Avery asked.

Avery Molina. She was still the same but looked a lot different compared to the last time I saw her.

Instead of her brown and blonde ombre locks she had pink hair. More specifically pastel pink hair. And she shad lilac purple tips, I hated her right now because she could totally pull it off.

But besides that and her seeming smarter I think she was the same old always following Patricia girl I knew before leaving.

"I went to a private school in California" I replied.

Avery's eyes went wide. "Did you meet and celebrities?" she asked excitedly.

I shook my head. "No, but I did go to a lot of concerts" I said.

"Oh" she said slumping back into her seat.

Class had started a little while ago and it was the same old.

Rules, rules, school year, rules and more rules.

"Are you trying out for the cheerleading team?" Patricia asked.

I shrugged. "I hadn't really thought about it. Maybe" I said.

"Well you are and I'm going to help you, you can come over to my house today" Patricia said-more like commanded.

"Her brother is so cute! She has two! But one is in college and has a girlfriend and the other is a freshman…" Avery said.

"I can't I have to go pick up my little…sister…today" I replied.

"Alright then tomorrow" Patricia said.

"Excuse me girls are you listening?" the teacher asked.

"Not really, nobody here cares about this stuff" Patricia snapped.

"This is the first day of school, I would suggest you keep your attitude in check" Ms. Turner said.

"And I would suggest you shut the fuck up" I mumbled.

The class laughed.

"Miss Harper I will not tolerate language like that in my class" Ms. Turner said.

Before anyone could say anything the bell had rang signaling to get to second period. My second period was chemistry. I had never been a fan of science-in fact I hated it. But that didn't mean I wasn't good at it, it just meant I had to practically force myself to study when I needed to. I sat down in a seat in the back row waiting to see who would sit next to me.

And at that moment Wally had walked in. I looked down at my binder trying not to look him in the eye.

"Hey do you mind if I sit here?"

I turned my head slowly; I knew it was Wally I just knew. I looked up to see the red headed-boy looking at my with a small smile on his face.

"Sure" I replied.

He placed down his binder and sat down next to me.

"Aren't you the girl that I knocked into this morning?" he asked.

"Yeah…" I replied.

"Sorry about that. But no worries me being your chemistry partner will make up for it" he said a proud smile playing his face.

I slightly giggled. "And why is that?" I asked.

"I happen to be amazing in science" he said.

"We'll see" I said.

The class went by and it was actually great and fun and Wally still didn't know who I was.

"So I noticed that you've already met Patricia…" he said.

I nodded. "She's not that bad" I said, which might have been the truth. At least I now she's slightly nicer to her friends.

"Just be careful. You're the new girl and haven't been her for the past 2 years so I'm just warning you" he said as the bell rang signaling dismissal.

We got up and exited the class together. "Don't worry I'll be just fine" I said as I remembered what had happened the last time I went here.

He almost walked away. I needed to know. I just needed to.

"Wally can I ask you a question?" I asked wearily.

He smiled his goofy smile. "You just did" he replied.

I rolled my eyes. "Does Jordan McClain go here?" I asked.

He thought I didn't notice but I saw he jaw clench and his eyes darken.

"No. He got…put in a place for special kids…but he still lives somewhere around here…" he said hesitantly.

I nodded and I quickly walked off before he could start questioning me. The classes went by quickly and soon it was already lunch time. I closed my locker and in front of me were Zatanna, Megan and Raquel.

"Hey Emily!" Megan said cheerfully.

"Hi…Megan" I said confused.

Was it me or had she gotten more perky?

"You know where the lunchroom is?" Raquel asked.

I nodded.

"Thanks for your concern" I said and walked away.

I couldn't hang out with the girls or I would start showing my true colors and they would find out and tell the boys. And Megan along with Conner and Wally can never keep their mouths shut.

I walked into the lunchroom automatically seeing Patricia and the other football players. They sat in the back center which was where everyone could see them and it was also one of the biggest tables in the cafeteria.

I got in line to get my food.

Zatanna POV

I watched at Emily walked through the line and to Patricia's table.

"Seriously why does she keep avoiding us?" I asked.

"She didn't avoid me when we had second period together" Wally said.

I turned to him quickly.

"You have 2 classes with her and she talked to you in the second one!?" I almost yelled.

He nodded while stuffing more French fries in his mouth.

"She's really nice and funny and super smart" he said.

"But why won't she talk to us?" I asked.

"Sounds like she won't talk to you" Dick said.

I glared at him.

"Just saying. I haven't bothered to talk to her yet-"

"What about earlier when you said that stupid joke?" Conner interrupted.

"That wasn't a real conversation-and that was a funny joke!" he said defensively.

"No it wasn't" everyone said.

"You guys weren't even there!" he said.

"Yeah but your jokes are never funny" Raquel stated.

Dick huffed and crossed his arms.

"Maybe you should accept the fact that she just doesn't want to hang out with us" Conner said with a shrug.

I sighed. "I guess your right" I said.

Artemis POV

I sat at the empty seat next to Avery.

"Okay guys this is Emily the new girl" Patricia said.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at me.

I could feel the judging.

"She's cute" one of the boys said.

"She came from California" Avery stated.

"Alright so you already know Avery…" and Patricia went on to introduce everyone else.

Lunch with them was great! I never knew populars could be so nice…and that they made jokes other than about what people were wearing. And not all the guys played football or were idiots.

Tyler was really nice. He played basketball and he was such a gentleman!

He kept complimenting me and would always be one of the people to talk to me first. It was great. And then there was Michael who was incredibly funny but sometimes very inappropriate. And then there was Jase who was the smart one, he said he was going to run for student body president.

I couldn't believe it. I guess being popular wasn't just about looks as much people made it out to be. But I couldn't blame them for thinking that. They really were Californian looking people.

And then there were the girls. Tina was very friendly and social; she just wasn't as smart as the rest of us. And Riley who was very athletic and competitive-she loved to talk. A lot. And finally Dakota was the helper of the group. She helped everyone and I don't think she curses and she always broke up the disputes between everyone.

Just this lunch when Michael was talking about some girl that Jase liked she save Michael from getting a black eye then and there.

The bell rung for the millionth time that day and we were off the class.

I had gym with Riley and Avery.

The three of us walked out of the girl's locker room to see that all the guys were already in the gym. Even Dick.

We sat down at the second to last bleachers at the top were almost no one was.

Soon the gym teacher-Mrs. Talon-started yelling out the rules. And I was listening to Riley and Avery talk about the boys.

"Dick is cute but he has a girlfriend so you should stay away" Riley said.

I nodded pretending not to know already.

They went on and on and id didn't really mind until we were walking to the locker rooms.

"Emily right?"

I turned around to see Dick smiling at me.

"Yeah and your Richard" I said smiling back. I knew he hated when people called him that.

"Dick is fine. So how do you like school here?" he asked.

"It's pretty awesome actually. I've met a lot of new people" I said.

"Emily!"

"I should go" I said before walking off.

…

I sighed happily. I had been able to survive the first day of being s senior.

And even better no one recognized me.

"Hey Emily"

I jumped and quickly turned to see Tyler grinning at me.

"Sorry" he said.

"It's okay" I replied.

"So do you need a ride?" he asked.

"Sure but I have to go pick up my little…sister today" I said.

"N-P" he said.

I held back a laugh.

"Did you just say N-P?" I asked.

"What it was much easier than saying no problem" he said.

I shook my head and got into his car.

…

"Bye Tyler!" I said when I was at my doorstep.

"Bye Emily! Later Lian!" he said waving back.

I watched him drive away before entering the house.

"How was school?" Jade asked.

I walked into the kitchen ready to tell her all about it.

So here is the second chapter. It's kind of boring but I needed to kinda introduce some people that would be reoccurring so yeah. Reviews are welcome!
