Chapter 2- First Meeting

After leaving Elliot at his 1st class, Olivia rushed to hers before the warning bell could sound. She had just turned the corner at the end of the hall when she ran straight into a tall, blonde, blue-eyed girl with glasses.

"Oh I'm so sorry! Are you okay?" asked the mystery person.

Olivia was still on the ground picking up the books that feel from her arms. "Yeah, I think I'll live. Are you okay? I didn't mean to knock you, I just didn't want to be late the first day."

"Yeah I'm okay. I was just on my way to the office. I can't find Ms. Higgins class. This school is like a jungle, I just keep getting lost." The girl replied laughing, finding Olivia very interesting. She had never met anybody who would willingly want to go to class. Needless to say she was very intrigued.

" Oh, well that's my first class, I'd be happy to show you where to go." Olivia said kindly.

"Okay sure. My names Alex by the way."

"I'm Olivia, but everybody calls me Liv. You can too if you want." Olivia replied as she showed her new companion to her class.

They continued to talk as they made their way down the hall. Just as they were about to enter the room, the bell sounds making them effectively late on their first day. Liv sighed loudly, this wasn't her day. They entered quietly and went to their seats. Before they were able to sit down, the teacher addressed them. "Ahhh, looks like we have a couple of late risers. Ladies where are your passes?" Ms. Higgins asked slightly angry.

Alex looked to Olivia and then back at the teacher. "Umm we don't have any. We had an accident in the hall and thought we could make it before the bell." Alex explained nervously.

"Well what type of accident? You both seem to be in perfect working order, what was so important that you couldn't make it to my class on time?"

It was Olivia's turn to speak, "Umm I was in a real big hurry to get here, but I ran into Alex here in the hall and knocked her over. She was on her way to the office cause she couldn't find your class. Then I offered to walk her with me cause we both have you first period, we tried to get here as fast as we could but the bell caught us just outside your door. We are very sorry Ms. Higgins, we weren't intentionally late"

"Ahhh, well that's good enough for me. Okay take your seats so we can begin the introductions." Higgins replied turning to her desk to take role.

As they made their way across the room, Alex whispered to Olivia, "Wow, how'd you do that? If that was me we would be in the principle's office right now." She said shocked out how quickly they got out of that jam.

"My mom teaches her daughter at NYU so she practically just lets me do what I want. I just have to give the sob stories so the other kids don't catch on" Olivia replied.

"That is so cool!" Alex said, finding Olivia even more interesting than before.

"Alright class, raise your hand when I call your name and make an announcement about yourself." The teacher said happily.

"Joshua Allen?" a tall stocky looking boy raised his hand.

"Olivia Benson?" Olivia raised her hand, just enough to be seen over the crowd of students.

"Alexandra Cabot?" Alex repeated Olivia's motion and returned her hand to her side.

This continued on for another five minutes. Every now and again a new hand would rise and the teacher would continue.

About an hour and a half later, class was over and the students piled out. Alex walked over to Olivia as they were about to leave and asked, "Would you mind helping me find my next class?"

Olivia smiled, "Sure, who you got?"

"Smith for English Lit." Alex said reading from her schedule.

"Alright now that's just insane, I have him next to." Olivia replied shocked. "Okay well lets go before we're late again"
