Note from the author: Sorry for being so slow. I know I usually do at least 2 POVs but Luke's is taking a while and I really wanted to post something. I'll try to finish as soon as I can, but my family really is trying to get out of the house. I hope you all like the story so far. :) Feel free to review and enjoy!

Lillian's POV

Yesterday was rough or at least the morning was. I managed to make it through the rest of the day argument free. I even made a few new friends. Tina introduced herself to me during gym while I was chatting with Luke. I later met her best friend Reina during my last period biology. They both were so sweet and wanted to sit with me and Dia today at lunch. I couldn't wait.

Art class was tense. I knew that I should have tried to apologize again, but I just couldn't find it in me to get up and talk to her. I wasn't actually completely sure of what happened. Somehow I got tripped up while trying to dump the paint water in the sink. I caught my balance but it was too late and the girl in front of me was furious. I found out her name was Jill, but everyone seemed to call her Pony. Apparently she was pretty athletic too and the greatest discovery about her was that Ash was completely smitten with her. I caught her looking at me but she looked away. However I did catch her yelling at some red-haired guy with rectangular glasses. He just looked amused as she chastised him.

The rest of my day went by wonderfully, until lunch. I walked in from English with Ash and Luke just like yesterday. I went over to sit with Dia. She gave me an annoyed look, but I saw right through it. She was a little cold, but I could tell she was lonely. I gave her a smile and offered her some blueberries. I found out yesterday that she really loved them. I had way too many and offered some to her. She was hesitant but eventually gave in and nibbled on some, while I talked to her. She occasionally asked me a question to be polite. Today she was a little more eager to take them. Dia was a little stunned when Tina and Reina sat with us. "Hey Lillian, hi Dia. Dia that's a pretty headband. Is it new?" Tina said as she sat. Dia nodded politely as Tina was fiddling with the same green clover pin in her hair as yesterday. "So how are you both?" she continued.

"I'm fine." Dia replied.

"I'm doing well myself. How has your day been so far?" I replied.

"Great. Half way through the day and still no homework." She grinned. Tina appeared to be a happy go lucky kind of girl. Reina, on the other hand, was quiet and shy. They both were friendly though, which is always great. "So Lillian, Have you considered playing any sports?"

"I was considering swimming, but Sam wanted me to join the basketball team." I said.

"Do both." Tina said. I gave her a confused look and she explained. "Girls practice basketball directly after school in the gym, while guys have the pool. We switch after about an hour and a half. It's a small school, so we practice like this so athletes can double up and anyways it's better to practice on a full court/field or whatever than half of one. Say Lillian if you partake in both, so will I okay?"

"Sure that sounds great. " I agreed. Dia had pulled out a book and was reading as Reina listened. Tina turned to Reina and was asking her about some store in town. I started to listen, but my mind wandered as they mentioned the town. Ash and Luke promised me and Sam a tour of the island today. They were going to show us around, which was great because I wanted to buy more seeds for my garden. Mom gave Sam and me some carrot seeds for starts, but I really wanted to grow other vegies and some flowers. Luke even offered to buy us a snack at the café. Luke. He seems to be a great guy. His flamed bandana seemed to reflect his personality: full of life and energy. His honey gold eyes were warm and kind and his blue hair was rather attractive. Oh what am I thinking. I can't possibly like him… right? I mean he is nice, but I barely know him… besides I never liked a guy before… but this feeling it was new and different…. I don't know.

"Lillian." Reina said and by the looks of the other girls I was guessing this wasn't the first time she called my name. I looked up at her.

Before I could speak Tina commented "Daydreaming Lillian? About a boy?" she added playfully.

"Huh oh no just thinking about this afternoon. Sam and I are getting a tour of the island. I'm pretty excited." I said semi truthfully. I don't really tell anyone about my feelings or my real thoughts if I feel it is somewhat private. I just found it easier to keep things to myself. Before I could say anything else I heard a loud BOOM. I turned to see angry Jill with frosting/cake? all over her. A little on her pink haired friend and her blonde friend was clean. I heard the cafeteria explode with laughter. I bit my lip trying not to laugh and saw Sam and Luke doing the same. Sam's two friends and Ash look unamused. Dia, Tina, and Reina were all stunned and staring behind me.

"Hey you!" yelled Jill from right behind me. Her two friends were right behind her with angry written all over their faces. "You think this is funny. Only a jerk would pull something as immature as this. Unbelievable. You think pulling this stunt will get back at me. Your stupid cake just is a cheap trick." Tina and Reina looked frozen. Dia seemed to be looking at Jill curiously.

"What cake?" I asked calmly. By this time the whole cafeteria was watching. I saw Ash holding back Sam and Luke, from coming over here.

"Don't play dumb with me just to look cool in front of everyone. I'm not stupid. If you wanted to play me for a fool, you shouldn't have left a note with the cake." she screamed.

"What note? What cake?" I asked again, this time with high irritation. Her friends just glared at me. What did I do?

"Don't pretend to not know." snapped the pink haired one.

"Know what? I have no idea what you are even talking about." I said fiercely.

The pink haired one snapped again "You left that white cake box on Pony's desk with an apology note. We were gonna eat the cake at lunch, but when I poked it with my fork, it exploded all over Pony. Don't play innocent. We know it was you."

I stood up and slammed my hand on the table. I started to yell back "I didn't do anything. I'm completely innocent. I wouldn't make an exploding cake just because I got in an argument with someone. That's stupid."

"You're unbelievable." Jill spat at me. She pulled out the note. "This is your name isn't it. I don't think there any other Lillians at this school."

I looked at the note. It was my name signed at the bottom of an apology note, but with someone else's handwriting. "That's not even-" I started as a my pudding cup was opened then promptly smashed into my face. It took every ounce of control I had in my body not to lunge at Pony and tackle her to the ground. I took a step forward, but someone grabbed my wrist. I turned to see Dia. She motioned for me to sit. I grinded my teeth, took a deep breath and sat down. Jill still seemed furious, but turned to leave with her two friends quickly behind. Eyes all around the cafeteria slowly went back to their own lunch. Sam and company came over to my table. Tina and Reina were still in shock, but Dia went back to her book.

"You okay Lil?" Sam asked. "I'm not sure what those girls were talking about but I do know that you didn't bake anything yesterday. I mean if you did, dad and I would have polished it off before you could put it in some box." I smiled a little at the last comment. I suddenly remembered I had pudding all over my face. I started to look for a napkin, but one of Sam's friends wearing a purple vest handed me one. Face filled with embarrassment, I tried to get all the pudding off. Tina finally seemed to snap out of it and was staring at my brother.

"And you are…?" she asked him playfully.

He looked at her and realized he didn't really know any of my friends. "The name's Sam. I'm Lillian's older brother." He paused for a second . " So wanna introduce yourself?"

Tina raised a brow and started smiling. "Of course. My name is Tina and this is Reina. Oh and in case you don't already know her name is Dia." Dia looked up and nodded politely.

It hit Sam that I didn't know who his new friends were. "Oh Lillian, You haven't met Cam and Vaughn before." They both stuck out their hands to shake mine and I returned the shake. "So Lillian," Sam continued "You sure you're okay?" I nodded and looked off in Jill's direction. She was completely turned away, while her friends were helping her wipe off. Although the blonde one…Claire ,I think that was someone called her in math, was looking at us, well not us just Vaughn. "Okay well looks like someone is either out to embarrass you or Pony." Sam stated. "I think it would be best to do nothing until we find out more about this incident." He then got really quiet. I saw his expression. He was worried about me.

"It will be alright Sam." I said with a fake smile. He didn't look reassured but he turned to head back to the table. Ash was extremely quiet and kept looking over at Jill as he followed Sam. Cam and Vaughn just casually walked back over. Luke was still standing there.

"Hey, I'm sorry that this happened. Do you still want that tour with Sam today?" Luke said rubbing the back of his neck.

"It wasn't your fault Luke, and yeah I really want to see the town today. " I replied.

"I know, but I kinda feel bad. I mean it's your second day of school and someone smashes pudding in your face. But yeah I will meet you at Ash's house around 4. I gotta go home first. Umm I 'll see you in class later." He said. He turned and took off before I could reply.

"So Luke is giving you a tour of the city? Interesting." Smirked Tina.

"What? He and Ash promised me and Sam a tour today. There's really nothing interesting about it." I replied. She cocked her head.

"Maybe I should tag along. I can get to know Sam a little better." She teased. I was utterly shocked. Tina was seriously into Sam after one conversation. Dia saw my expression and what came out of her mouth shocked all three of us.

"Don't worry. She's not into Sam. She likes Ash." Tina's eyes widened as her cheeks flushed.

"How did? I mean how could? I mean um how did you figure that out?" Tina said.

"It wasn't hard." she sighed. "When they came over here, you flirted with Sam, but the corner of your eye was focused on Ash's reaction." I was stunned. Dia's observation skills were remarkable. Tina looked down at the table and Reina patted her back.

"Oh well. You found out. No big deal." She said as she looked up. "You aren't gonna tell Ash right?" she asked.

"Huh no I wouldn't do that.." I replied, while debating to tell her about his crush on Pony.

"It's not like it would matter anyway. He is infatuated with Pony." she sighed. Well that ended my debate. She started to laugh it off and moved on to talk about tryouts for the remainder of lunch.

"Hello beautiful." I looked out from my locker, which we just got in homeroom. "My name is Allen." he said, holding out a purple flower. It was the guy Jill yelled at earlier. I was a bit stunned. "You know you're supposed to take the flower." he chuckled. I took it cautiously and politely thanked him. "See you around." he said as he walked off. What was that about? I wondered.
