To those who were wondering:

The teacher's full names are Professor Richard Allen, Josephine Thomas, Caitlin Lee, and Coach T; as in the famous basketball player Diana Taurasi. And yes, these characters are based off of real people.

Side note: just in case you all were wondering, the double parentheses are said out loud. The single parentheses are what the particular person is thinking at the time.

Chapter 3:

When I put the pieces together I figured that the honey blonde was in fact crying. I turned around and headed back into the bathroom. I heard sniffling from the fourth stall. I lowered my voice so I wouldn't startle the girl. "Hey, are you ok in there?" I asked, speaking to the girl on the other side of the door. There was no response. "May I come in?" I tried again. There was a small pause before the girl spoke up. "You would just be happier if you left. It will save your disappointment of me. I'm not someone a person like you would want to be around."

"What makes you say that? We don't even know each other." I was getting confused now.

"Because no one seems to like me. They call me weird or walk around calling me names like 'Maura-the-Bora.' It's supposed to be boring" she sniffled, "but it doesn't rhyme."

She said the last part a bit matter-of-factly. That made me giggle. She heard me. "See!" she started to cry again, "You're just like everyone else. You make fun of me."

"No, no, no, not at all"- 'Shit! What did she say her name was again? Dora? Cora? M-Maura. That's it!' - "Maura, I wasn't making fun of you. I laughed because of the way you said the last part. I thought it was - cute. Come on, Maura, open the door." - ' Jeez, we're acting like a bunch of 12 year olds.' Suddenly, I heard the click of the stall door unlatch and the door opened. The honey blonde stepped out slowly. She was in a tight blue dress and her eyes were red and puffy from crying.

I was overjoyed that I got her to come out. A smile appeared on my face. I stuck my hand out to introduce myself. "Hi, I'm Jane, Jane Rizzoli." She took my hand shyly "Maura Isles. Why did you come to help me? No one ever does." I was surprised by her last statement.

"Because, I don't think anybody should be bullied or teased for just being themselves. Can I ask you a question?" she looked at me skeptically before she answered unsurely. "Sure?"

"How come you're not in my Algebra I or Biology class anymore?"

"Well, the administration saw that I wasn't challenged enough by the classes, and so they moved me to harder classes such as Geometry and Anatomy and Physiology."

"Oh," is all I could say at first. "So, you're like a genius I guess, right?"

Maura's response put a smile on my face. "Well, I wouldn't really say 'genius' because to be classified as a genius one has to obtain an IQ of 150. The initials IQ stand for Intelligence Quotient. The term was first coined in the early twentieth century by a German psychologist nam-"

"Whoa, whoa, slow down Wikipedia." I teased. My head was still spinning from all the knowledge that was just thrown on me.

'She gave me a nickname.' Maura thought to herself. The thought put a smile on her face.

"So," Jane started. "What class do you have now?"

"I have yoga. You?" As I opened my mouth to speak my phone vibrated in my back pocket. I grabbed my phone and saw that I had a text from Frost.

Where the hell are you? I already saved you from being late to one class today. It's too late to save you from another one. "Mrs. Shakespeare" already took role and marked you absent.

'Shit'- "Um, Maura," I started. She looked up from the floor. Concern was deep in her eyes.

"Yes?" She replied uneasily.

"I would love to stay and chat, but I'm already late for class."

A shocked look plastered her face. "Oh! I'm sorry. I didn't mean to keep you from class or even make you late for that matter. I didn't know that I would keep you for so long. I wasn't even planning on keeping anyone. I did'n-"

"Maura!" I stopped her rambling. I couldn't help but smile at how cute she got when she rambled in bewilderment. "It's ok. Let's just get to class, ok?"

"All right." We walked out of the bathroom and made our separate ways down the hall. I couldn't keep the smile off of my face that Maura gave me. There was just something about her; something a bit -odd- that made me happy. All of a sudden, I remember I had a game today. I quickly turned around. "Maura," I yelled down the hall, "I have a basketball game today after school. Do you want to come?"

"Sure," she replied. I could tell that she had a smile on her face. "What time is it?"

"The game starts at 5 o' clock, but you probably want to get there around 4:30."

"Ok Jane, I'll be there."

"All right. See you there." I called back. And with that, we both turned and made our way down the hall to our proper classrooms.

Even though it's a little I hope it will suffice. I tried my best to get this chapter out today. Having two chapters out in two days or several chapters out right after each other will probably be a rarity, but I will do my best to get them out as soon as I can. On a different note, however, thank you to all who are reading it and enjoying it. Thank you to all who have followed and left a comment. I appreciate all of it. Again, reviews, suggestions, comments, and constructive criticism is welcomed. I hope that you stick with me throughout my whole journey with these characters. Thank you. :)
