Hey! So, I'm back with the second chapter of Host High! If you haven't read my other Host Fanfiction, please do! It's called Been Here All Along! Anyway, I know the chapters in this story are sort of short, but it's just an idea I'm trying out! Jared will come in during the next chapter, along with Ian and all the rest! Keep reading and reviewing!

WandaLovesIan - Thanks for giving this a chance! I think Wanda and I both have the same sort of "worry bug" and I know that's something I would do! If you have any suggestions, any requests, any anything really, please just leave it in the reviews!

rRachie - Hey Rachie! Thanks for trying out my new Fanfic! I hope you enjoy this chapter as much as the last one (if not more :) Keep reading and reviewing! Thanks!

Disclaimer: I don't own the Host, the characters, etc.

so... here we go: CHAPTER 2!

WANDA'S POINT OF VIEW

As the school comes into view, I begin to panic again.

"Mel, I don't….It's so big…"

"Come on, don't worry. You'll never be alone because I promise I won't leave you, and you can't get lost because you'll never be alone! Okay?"

I nod, still taking in the enormity of the school building.

"Here, tell me what you're worried about, and I'll tell you why you don't need to be."

"What if I can't find a place to sit at lunch?"

"Duh, you'll sit with me!"

"What if my teachers don't like me?"

"Wanda, I have reason to believe that you will be teachers pet in not just one, but all of your classes. So come on! You'll be fine, I promise!"

"Fine." We walk through the doors of the school and, thankfully, the hallway is mostly empty. I grab Mel's hand, and she pulls me along after her to the office.

MEL'S POINT OF VIEW

Tugging Wanda toward the office, I scan the hall quickly, trying to spot any of my friends. I don't see anyone, though, so I turn my head to face her and say, "I guess you'll meet my friends later since none of them are here yet…"

"That's okay, I don't know if I'm really ready to meet...other people."

I just laugh once and continue pulling her. Suddenly, something catches my eye right outside the door to the office. The soccer team cuts! Butterflies erupt in my stomach, though from excitement or nerves, I'm not sure.

Once we reach the door, I tell her to go inside, and when she starts to protest, I promise her I'll be in as soon as I check if I made the team.

"Promise?" Comes her reply.

"Just tell any of the secretaries that you're new and need your schedule and stuff. Trust me, you're not the first new kid to come to our school."

"Fine." She pushes the door open, glancing back at me as I give her an encouraging smile before walking all the way in.

Suddenly, I'm too nervous to look. Taking a deep breath, I slowly turn back to face the bulletin board just outside the office door. Scanning the rest of the announcements to make sure there's nothing new that I need to know, double checking to make sure I didn't miss anything, glancing at my watch to see how much time I have until the bell rings for homeroom, noticing that I have pen on my hand and trying to wipe it off...Stop it, Mel. I tell myself. What's the worst that can happen? You don't make the team? Just look at the list! Another deep breath. Okay, no more procrastination. Finally, I look at the list:

2012 High School Soccer Team

1) Matt Johnson

2) Stephanie Lingely

3) Jared Howe

Well, I think to myself. If I didn't make it, at least I can come watch Jared at practices. Hm…I guess "Supportive girlfriend" has more of a ring to it than "supportive teammate who happens to be your girlfriend." I realize I'm procrastinating again and return my focus to the list:

4) Ian O'shea

5) Cami Miller

6) Melanie Stryder

I smile as I read my name again, letting out a small, "Yes!" Might as well see who else is on the team, though my boyfriend (Jared) and one of my best friends (Ian) seems pretty good to me. Not to mention that I've seen Cami, Matt, and Steph play, and they're seriously great players.

7) Trudy Danburg

8) Lily Donaldson

9) Wes Jarman

10) Jade Nile

11) Kyle O'shea

That's okay, I think, Ian will keep Kylie...tamed. Still, we have an amazing team this year! Plus all my friends made it: Jared, Ian, Trudy, Lily, Wes, and I guess you could consider Kyle a friend. This is gonna be a great year for soccer!

Just then Wanda walks out of the office. "Mel! You said you would meet me in there!"

I know nothing much happened here, but I just needed some way to tie in Wanda getting to school, and the rest of the characters in some way, shape, or form :) PLEASE REVIEW! IT REALLY MAKES MY DAY! If you think this Fanfic is horrible, please tell me and I'll stop writing it! Just a reminder: YOU CAN REVIEW EVEN IF YOU DON'T HAVE A FANFICTION ACCOUNT! Thanks!
