A/N: here is chapter 2, kinda late thanks to an ice storm but I hope you like it.
The homeroom teacher explained about lockers and stuff and then let them try out their lockers. Daphne found hers and opened it easily, since she had a locker at her old school. The blonde boy had the locker to right of hers and he seemed to be having trouble. "Need some help??" she spoke up bravely.
Fred looked up thoughts were racing through his brain, "man she's pretty, and she talked to me, should I ask her for help, no that'll make me look like a wimp, but then I might not be able to talk to her again…"
"It's really quite easy." She said looking into his blue eyes but then she nervously looked away.
"Uhhh, sure…" Fred said. He handed her the card with the combo on it and in one minute the slender redhead had the locker door open. Fred stared speechlessly. "Um thanks, um yeah…" Fred trailed off and looked at his feet.
"Yeah, you're welcome, um see you around…"Daphne said quickly and looked at her feet as she walked back into homeroom.
Shaggy had found his friends Marcum and Ken looking for their lockers and talked with them for a few and then walked back to homeroom where he struck up conversation with Fred. "Like hello man!" Shaggy said kindly brushing his floppy hair out of his eyes.
Fred looked up; the hippie kid was talking to him. "Hi!" Fred replied happy to take his mind off the girl.
"Like are you new??" Shaggy asked. Fred looked down at his hands he didn't want to talk about his mom.
"Yeah, I moved here from Maryland this summer, um do you like football??" Fred said hoping to steer conversation away from his parents.
"Like not really, I like running track better, wanna be friends??" Shaggy asked.
"Sure!!" Fred answered happy to have a friend. "My name's Fred."
"My name's Norville, but everyone calls me Shaggy, so Fred um do you like school…"
Meanwhile Daphne had met Velma and had found her a nice, smart girl and had befriended her instantly. They talked about Velma's parents and their jobs and Daphne's horse. Then the teacher came to the front of the room and began taking attendance.
"Daphne Blake?" the teacher said looking around.
"Here." Daphne spoke up. Fred looked up, the girl's name was Daphne "that's a nice name…" he thought.
Daphne really wasn't paying attention until the teacher yelled "Frederick Jones?"
"Here and um I like Freddie better…" Fred said. Daphne looked over at the blonde boy, Fred he said his name was and then as soon as he caught her eye she looked away. Then as the first bell rang the four soon to be friends left the classroom the girls talking and the guys talking. Daphne looked back at Fred and saw him looking back at her daringly she smiled and he smiled back. Daphne's heart was beating so fast, she had to talk to that blonde boy; she just had to meet him. Here not even an hour into her first year of Jr. High, Daphne Blake had a crush, a crush that neither her of Fred knew would last a lifetime.
