Author Notes: I have most of this story worked out already. I know whats going to happen, and I really just have to type it out. Updates may be slow during the week because I do work full time, but I will try my hardest to get this done in a timely matter.

Today is the first day of high school. I am so nervous that I don't even want to get out of bed. I'm afraid I won't have any classes with the boys this year. I'm just glad we will ride the bus together, and I know we will sit together at lunch. I just pray that we have at least one class together.

"Cathy, breakfast is ready!" Her mother shouted from the bottom of the stairs.

She snapped shut her diary and slipped out of bed. "Coming mom!" She grabbed her jeans off the back of her chair, and reached inside her closet for the first shirt she could find. She dressed quickly and grabbed her backpack that sat by the door.

She was halfway down the stairs when she realized she had forgotten her glasses.

Her mother passed her a plate of steaming food. Pancakes and bacon. She ate quickly and was out the door before her mother even had the chance to join her.

Freshman year would start the same way as any other day. They would all wake up earlier than needed and meet in Jason's garage to practice before the bus pulled up. She could hear Nate playing his heart out on the drums before she even pushed open the side door. Jason sat in a chair with his headphones on, nodding his head to the beat. His hair bouncing with his movement. Neither of the boys noticed her.

She pulled her black bass off the stand and began to play a tune that had been running through her mind for the past few days.

"Its cool, were just friends. We walk the halls at school. We know its causal."

Nate heard her playing, and quickly changed his tune to match hers. She threw him a small smile as her fingers quickly moved along the frets.

The door to the garage opened and Shane slid into the room. Jason was still head banging with his headphones, and Nate and Cathy were engrossed in their song.

"Everyone knows its meant to me. Falling in love, just you and me, 'til the end of time."

The black haired boy smiled as he watched his friends. They were playing the song he had written for Cathy. He made his way to the center of the room and began to sing along.

"I've been making lots of plans, like a picket fence and a rose garden. I just keep on dreaming."

Cathy's head shot up at the sound of his voice. "Shane."

"You sounded great." He gave her a genuine smile. "But the bus will be here any minute."

Jason chose this time to look around his garage. "Hey guys! When did you get here?"
