Chapter 1

Erin and Ryan Noble were taken to the head teacher, Miss McCauley's office. In there sat a boy, the same age as them with dark brown curly hair, and had dark blue eyes. He nodded, acknowledging them. They smiled back. He had moved in down the road from them at the start of the summer. They moved just before school ended.

"Take a seat." The head said. "Bertrand, this is Erin and Ryan, they're also new today. So you are in year 11 and I have asked the owners children to show you around. If you'd come this way."

Vlad and Ingrid waited for Miss McCauley and the new kids. They were used to this. It was their duty to help around the school.

"Ah, Vlad, Ingrid, this is Erin and Ryan Noble and Bertrand De Fortunesa. I trust I can leave them with you, I have things to see too."

"Ofcourse, Miss McCauley." They smiled sweetly as she left. She believed they were a perfect as their grades. She was clueless to who was behind all the pranks and disturbances through the years.

Ingrid took a good look at the new kids. Erin, short blonde hair, jeans, vest top under a blue checked button up shirt, a scarf around her neck, grey eyes and she wore little, if any make-up. Her brother Ryan, slightly taller, more sandy brown hair, same eyes with jeans and a dark faded t-shirt. Already drooling over Ingrid in her black skinny jeans, and skin-tight shirt. Finally Bertrnad. His curly dark brown hair, and dark blue eyes, dark baggier jeans and dark red hoddie. 'Target aquired.' She thought.

"So what do you have first?" Asked Vlad.

"Science," Ryan said along with Bertrand.

"I have English Lit." Erin answered.

"Me too. Come on, I'll take you." Vlad said.

"Come on boys, science is this way." Ingrid smirked.

Vlad and Ingrid made their way over to their friends, the newbies were seeing the head, so they had time to stake their claim on their targets.

"Jonno? Who you going for?"

"I was thinking Becky, she improved over the summer." He smirked and Vlad clapped him on the shoulder.

"Good choice, Ingrid?"

"Bertrand, he looks like a challenge and I like challenges." Rolling his eyes he moved around the group.

Robbin was after Hannah, a girl who transfered half way through last year and Jessica, was after Ryan. Amy wasn't sure about who to go for.

"What about you Vlad? Who you looking at?"

"Erin."

Jonno raised his eyebrows. He'd seen Erin and had a feeling she'd be Vlad's project. "Pay up?" He said reaching behind him to Robin who extracted a £5 note from his wallet.

"You were betting I'd pick Erin?"

"Vlad, I saw you in English this morning." Jonno answered. Rolling his eyes Vlad caught sight of the newbies.

"If you'll excuse me, I have a beautiful girl in that direction. Good luck," he told them with a wave. He swung his bag loosly over one shoulder and made his way over to Erin, Ryan and Bertrand. "Hi Erin, guys, you ok?"

"Yeah, just having a bit of trouble finding the libray, I already have homework." She complianed.

"Well, I could take you, I have some maths to do from yesterday."

"That would help, thanks, I'll see you two later." The boys nodded and Vlad pointed them to where Ingrid was sitting with the others.

Vlad finished his maths and looked at the confusion on Erin's face. She looked adorable. 'Whoa, did you just think that? Vlad snap out of it!' He scolded himself. "What's wrong?"

"This science question, the sums are wrong, there is no way that can make that." She stated. He took a look.

"You didn't carry the two." He told her.

"Oh, right, I always forget that. Thanks."

"So how long have you been in town?"

"A week and all i've done is unpack. I swear if I see another cardboard box i'll scream." She laughed. "Bertrand lives a couple of streets away. Ryan and him talk, but we don't really have any common ground."

"Well, I could show you around town tonight if you want," he offered.

"Are you askin' me out?" She smirked as he shifted uncomfortably.

"No, no, um, yes. If you want to like-"

"I'd love to."

"I'll pick you up 'round 4?"

"That'd be great."
