Here is the next chapter.

First: I'm not sure how many schools have an astronomy class, mine does, but neither of the other two highschools in the district do, so if you have one let me know. For me it's my favorite class, mainly because you get to sit in the dark and look at stars. Also I have the coolest teacher, and my teacher in this story is based on him.

Two: For those who have are just jumping to chapter three since you've already read one and two, I made a slight change. Instead of Riley not being friends with Will and Layla and that group she is, but it's more of a hang out during school. It's a little better explained in the story, just a heads up. If you want go back to Chapter one and read the little part about Warren showing up at her meet.

OK enough rambling on to the story!

I disclaim that I hereby wish that I could have Warren Peace, but I can't. sob


The week went by too fast, and now on a bright sunny morning Riley was standing at the bus stop talking with Cassie. A few minutes later, Layla, Will and Warren walked up to the stop. Riley gave a small smirk seeing Layla and Will all snuggled together; they made the cutest couples ever. In a world where love seemed futile at least to Riley, Will and Layla gave hope.

"Hey Layla, Hey Will. What's up Warren."

Layla came up and gave Riley a hug, "Man I love your hair; I can't believe you went ahead with it."

Riley ran her fingers through her new short hair. Since she was in the seventh grade Riley had long to medium length super straight hair. Then on impulse and a lot of belligerence from Cassie she had chopped it all off. Now it was short on the sides and had long bangs which slanted from the left eyebrow to just over to right eye. She had gotten the idea from the movie "Domino" with Keira Knightley. She shook her head a little reveling in its lightness.

"Thanks, I like it I don't have to work on it that much."

Warren came up and shook Riley's head a little. "Yeah it's pretty cool."

Riley gave him a half smirk, but was more shocked by his sudden interest he had never really complimented her looks before, but she liked it and it made her feel good.

Soon the bus arrived and the five friends got on and joined up with Ethan, Magenta and Zach. Two stops later and Nicole joined them and sat down by Ethan. It was a new school year and the whole gang was together again. Riley always looked at her group of friends as this: her sisters, Cassie and Nicole, then her best friends which were Warren, Magenta, Layla, Will, Ethan, and Zach. They hadn't really hung out much during the summer. When they got on the bus everyone compared schedules, they had all elected to take astronomy, so they would have lunch and that class together. Then they mainly had the same core classes with different electives. Riley opted to take independent study mentorship. This would be her time to work on her gymnastics; she could come up with her own routines and practice for the new season which started in the spring.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The bus finally arrived at the school, everyone said bye to Ron and headed to there first classes. Riley's first class was science with Mr. Medulla; the first thing was to pick lab partners. It was pretty much everyone sat next to their friends, so Riley got to class pretty early then Warren walked in and sat down next to her.

"Hi Warren"

"Hey, so you wanna be my lab partner. I really need to pass."

"Sure"

Cassie and Nicole came in a few minutes later, and Cassie walked over and tapped Warren lightly on the shoulder.

"You're in my spot. Up arson."

"First come first serve, sorry emo"

"What ever lesbian lover trumps neighbor. Riley tell him to move."

Riley just held up her hands, she knew that Cassie loved fighting with Warren, if the name calling didn't give it off. Cassie loved making fun of Warren's temper, and Warren loved making fun of the bands Cassie listened to. Finally Cassie gave up and sat next to Nicole on the other side of the lab table. When she sat down she wrote something down and slid it over to Riley.

So what do you think?

Red silk or the light blue ones?

Cassie

Riley glared at her, and Cassie pointed to Nicole. "No more sleepovers ever" By this time Warren had noticed the silent exchange and was trying to read the note over Riley's shoulder. Riley saw him and stuffed the note in her pocket. He was about to ask her about it, but Medulla walked in and started class.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Everybody met up again at lunch and it was pretty uneventful. Then they all went to astronomy. The class was at the very end of the school up a long spiral staircase. Which opened into a large circular, dome topped room. The chairs were like movie seats except that they leant back a little. Right in the middle of the room was the star ball which lit up and projected the sky on the dome. It was really the coolest classroom ever. Their teacher Mr. Pohl, came out of his office and told everyone to find a seat.

Layla walked to the very end of one row, and then Will followed by Warren, Riley and Cassie. Nicole, Ethan, Zach and Magenta, took the slightly shorter just in front. Riley was really happy about the class, until the next group of students walked in. She saw John and Anthony walk in, they were Mark's best friends, oh please don't tell me…"Son of a bitch" she muttered then looked the other way. He was in this class, Cassie heard her and turned around to see what was wrong, and when she saw "him" she glared and gave him that go-to-hell-look. Mark fortunately took a seat on the other side of the class behind Riley's row so she couldn't see him. If this class didn't give Riley some reason to come then she would skip as much as possible.


This one was shorter than my last, anyways review please.

Same Time, Same Place.
