K I'll admit I'm kinda -waves arms around- right now. Anyway sorry for the long update but I kinda handed the chapters over to my teacher for a grade and didn't realize I wouldn't get the papers back till after winter break.... heh yea my bad... Then I've been procrastinating….a lot…. Next time this happens just beat me with a random blunt object and I'll get right back on track!

IMPORTANT: I'm not sure which side parings I should put in so make some suggestions or I'll just use the normal canon ones. And please don't waist my time by asking me to put something in there like Cody and Justin....wait that's not a bad idea to hint at....

Recap

Fleetingly the boy thought how it was such a great first impression on the neighborhood to run over one of their fellow residence. Oh joy.

"I...was just hit by a car." The kid paused for a moment before crossing his arms and staring inanely at the shorter teen. "I'm perfectly peachy."

"I-I'm sorry for hitting you and everything, man"

"You hit me with a car, gain me a phobia for said gas guzzling death machines, and expect me to hate you?"

Noah leaned in close to the smaller, his breath ghosting over the others ear lightly making Cody shiver with an unknown emotion.

"Honey, I loath your existence."

End Recap

Chapter 2 - Faces Galore

The taller stood back and scowled down at the petite boy.

Cody gnawed on his lower lip drawing a small amount of blood. He looked anywhere but the livid eyes of Noah.

"I-I heh uh.." The smaller trailed off and picked a particularly interesting blade of grass to ogle at.

"We've already covered the intelligence issue, but why don't you try and seem like a relatively functioning being and move." The Know it all said with his irritation levels rising by the second.

The shorter boys head hung low. Slowly he moved to the side and watched Noah's shoes as he passed.

"Nice going Cody…"He mumbled dejectedly berating himself aloud.

"The one person you talk to already hates your guts...heh...what next, a guy smashes his guitar on your head?" He lowered himself so he was sitting on the steps, directly in the way of oncoming students, that lead up to the school getting shoved by people who were to lazy to go around.

"Hey!" Shouted a voice from in front of the sulking teen.

"Yeah, you! You alright man?" Quarried a friendly looking fellow who plopped down next to the depressed looking geek. He gingerly placed a hand upon Cody's shoulder looking genuinely concerned for him.

Cody stared blankly ahead for a moment mauling over everything that happened with the other boy. He sighed and shook his head vigorously, hoping to rid him self of the looming bad mood.

He looked up at the other teen with down cast eyes. He sighed and put on a bright fake smile connected to a phony cheery attitude.

'If I want friends, I gotta be friendly. Noah's going to have to wait for the moment, but I'm sure I'll see him soon.'

"Hi! My name is Cody. What's up dude?" His lips quivered a bit, but he kept up the cheery look none the less.

"I could ask you the same exact thing." Clearly he had bought the fake smile and the more muscular teen shifted away a bit thinking Cody was a bit bipolar.

"What?" Cody tilted his head to the side a bit staring curiously at the other boy.

The other raised an eyebrow shifting uneasily in his current position and from the wave of students. He shook his head and brushed off the wary feeling knowing it wasn't his place to question the other boy.

"Nothing...Nothing at all."

They fell into an awkward silence broken only by the student body around them. The taller teen broke the moment first.

"My name's Trent by the way." He shifted back beside the other and held out his hand for greeting.

"Hey, what grade you in? You seem lost." The same teen asked again after a moment.

"Junior, but I just moved here, so I'm not sure where to go... Would you mind showing me around dude?" He asked cautiously scratching the back of his neck and giving a nervous smile.

Trent gave a small smile back and nodded his head. "Sure man. I gotta get my stuff first. Come on."

The young musician led the geek over to a group consisting of a punk, a titanic Jamaican guy, and a blond teen with a cowboy hat.

"Who's the shortly?" Blurted out the delinquent quickly getting elbowed in the side by the blond with a pointed look.

Cody noticed this and quickly fell back into his usual attitude. Giving a cool smirk and crossing his arms he shook his head lightly as if to wave off the defending action. "Nah It's ok dude. I'm Cody I ah just moved here."

The other merely raised an eyebrow and snorted before turning his head to the side watching a perky brown haired girl chat with her peers.

"So, where ya headed bro?" asked the party dude while handing a guitar case to Trent.

"Just to grab my schedule. I'm just not really sure where it is..."

The musician patted Cody's back chuckling lightly.

"It's cool dude. Follow me I'll show you around." He said walking towards the stairs of the school that led up to a pair of double doors.

"Nice meeting you guys!" Cody shouted following after Trent.

Once inside the school, and when Cody had caught up, Trent slung an arm around the others neck and waved his other around to emphasize the school.

"Cody there are some things you should know about the student body." Instructed Trent.

"See her?" He asked pointing to an Asian girl.

"Yeah."

"To put it lightly she isn't the nicest chick around. I'd stay away from her dude."

At that point she glared over at them as they passed, like she heard what they said, before turning back and smiling at her friends flipping her long black hair.

Another head of black hair caught Cody's eye and he stopped then nudged Trent in the side.

"What about her?" Cody asked pointing at said women.

Trent looked over and his eyes softened lightly at the site of a black and blue haired girl.

"That....is Gwen." There eyes meet and Cody glanced up at Trent who was leaning back slightly with a cool smirk on his face. He copied the look, but accidentally fell back onto the same girl Trent warned him about.

"Watch where you're going geek!" She shouted in aggravation. Her face gained a slight reddish tint while she glowered at the other teen.

"I just got this shirt you little dweeb!" As proof she pointed to her pink shirt covered in a big dark stain from the latte she had been drinking (Although to be fair Cody's back was covered in the liquid as well, but it wasn't as if the other cared at the moment).

"Oh my gosh! Your shirt!" Enter the busty blond.

Heathers glare quickly turned to the oblivious (Naïve/Stupid not sure which) blond who was gushing over the large stain.

The musician and the geek slowly crept away as the girl continued to ramble on, blissfully unaware of the darker haired girls growing rage at being interrupted, and sprinted away as soon as they rounded the corner heading straight for the Assistant Principle's office.

*~*

"So...your name is Cody Anderson?" asked the student helper who was smiling brightly at said boy.

"That's a cute name." She continued leaning closer to Cody over the desk showing off her metal braces and the extra food stuck in some.

"Um...Beth was it?" He asked nervously leaning back to keep away from her.

She nodded her head vigorously making her glasses bob up and down as she moved her head.

"Ok...Can I get my schedule now? My friend and I are going to be late for homeroom."

Cody smiled back nervously at the girl and glanced over at Trent every so often just to make sure he didn't ditch him in this awkward situation.

She bated her eyelashes flirtatiously, but moved back to type something into the computer anyway. A paper slowly started to ease it's way out of the abused school printer while Beth started to yammer endlessly about her life.

Cody just stood there nodding his head as his mind drifted back to the teen from earlier. He could tell he was smart and he'd seen him walking around with a book when he first moved here, but there was something about the other teen that just got to Cody.

He was so flustered around him. Why?

Before he could continue this thought the printer gave a loud beep signaling it was done. Beth pulled out the paper and wrote a little message on it, most likely her number, and then glanced at the clock before pulling out two pieces of yellow paper handing them over.

"It was totally cragalistic meeting you! Call me!" She shouted as said boy and Trent made a hasty retreat from the office.

The Beth scene was suppose to be longer, but I had to redo it to many times that I just kinda gave up. Next Chapter will be up shortly and remember Sticks and stones may brake my bones, but it also gives me motivation! In retrospect, this is a complete filler chapter that you really didn't have to read I was just too much of a (Insert curse word here) to warn you about it.
