Okay, guys. Here we go…


From Chapter 3

"He's your brother." I say out of pure shock and obviously not quiet enough.

"Chase, Andie. Detention after school, see me after class for details." I groan. I've never had detention before. I turn to Chase and mouth 'I told you, you were a trouble maker'.


Day 1 Part 2

Third POV

After Blake told them they had to meet him after class for their details for detention, he focused on the class continuing to speak to them as if the class was never interrupted. Andie turned and glared at Chase who had taken a seat next to her. Chase just wiggled his fingers as if to wave at her and at the same time giving her a grin that she so badly wanted to wipe off his face. As always on the first day of school, all Director Collins did with the class was go over procedures and rules that were to be followed while being on the grounds of the school. Chase leaned against a support beam at the back of the classroom and was in the process of trying to go to sleep. He and his brother got along great, but he loved giving him a hard time especially today – since it was his first year and technically his first class as a Director. As Chase was about to succumb to the unconsciousness of sleep, he was jerked awake as Andie hit him in his chest; looking over at her he glared. It was her turn to smile and wiggle her fingers in a wave. The class went on for another thirty-five minutes before the dismissal bell rang three times over the intercom system. Andie and Chase both stood up and slowly made their way over to Director Collins who was in the corner of the room by the stereo.

"What did you hit me for? I was almost asleep." Chase questioned her as they began walking.

"You got me into trouble so the least you could do was stay awake and keep me company during that boring speech that seems to be the norm for the first day of school." Andie then started doing an impression of a monotone person reading out of the handbook, which had Chase laughing.

"Now you know why generally I sleep the first day of school. I don't do it to be rude it's just the teachers mandatorily have to read the same thing over and over in all six classes." Chase just shrugged his shoulders. By the time Chase finished talking, they ended up reaching Blake in his corner.

"How nice of you two to take your time; I wouldn't be surprised if you get another detention call for being late to your next class Chase. For you Andie, they will excuse it being your first day and all at the school." The Director said motioning between the both of them. Andie turned to smirk at Chase.

"What do we have to do for detention?" Chase asked, more just to get the focus of the conversation off of him.

"Well the plans for this year have changed when it comes to scheduling. I will be teaching both of the junior's Studio Dance classes and then the fifth period senior Modern Dance class. Today, I am going to need your help with doing little things to set up Studio C for these classes such as furniture and equipment. Do either of you have any questions?" Blake said, looking from Andie to Chase.

"Actually, I do Director Collins. I noticed that I had two classes for Studio Dance on my schedule. Is that right or was there a mistake with my placements? And is the class going to be the exact same?" Andie questioned.

"That is right Ms. West. All students whose focus is dance will take both of the Studio Dance classes that this school offers. However, you will notice some students are only in one class or the other; that is because their focus while attending this school is on something different such as singing, art, photography or lighting design. Now, on your question as to whether the classes are the same the answer is no. The morning Studio Dance class has a focus on individual dance such as Improvisation, Ballet, Tap, and Hip-Hop – while the afternoon session will be focused of partnered dances such as the Tango, Mamba, Salsa, and Group Choreography. Does that answer your questions?" He asked her politely.

"Yes, Director, it does. Thank You." Andie gave Blake a shy smile; she turned to see Chase looking at her. "Come on, trouble maker, we need to get to our next class." Chase was about to protest when he heard Director Collins laugh, she just gabbed his arm and drug him out of the studio headed toward their American History class.

The first half of the day went by as slowly as the first day of school could. Andie realized that Chase was right when he said that the first day of school was probably better if you just skipped. All the teachers had to mandatorily read out of the student handbook a certain section that was basically telling them what they could and could not do while on campus. The teachers were more than happy to go into details about this, which only made each class seem like it lasted a little bit longer. In their American History class they were assigned seats randomly and it just so happened that Chase was seated with Andie directly in front of him – which in his mind just gave him the perfect opportunity to irritate her without the teacher finding out. During this particular class, Chase kept running his hand over Andie's back, she tried her best to stay still, but kept fidgeting throughout the class finally the teacher, Mr. Bartholomew, asked her if she was alright.

"Are you alright, uhhhh, Ms. West?" He asked after checking for her name on the seating chart.

"Yes, Sir, it's just a bit hot in here. May I go get some water?" She asked with a smile on her face.

"Yes, you may just take the hall pass by the door in the back." He motioned with his hand in the direction of the door.

"Thank you." She said as she got up to head toward the back of the class noticing the teacher turn to face the board again. As she passed Chase she punched him in the arm.

"Hey." He said, without turning around the teacher spoke to him. "Mr. Collins, please keep your voice down or see me after school for detention and we can work on that skill." Chase turned to glare at Andie, who was currently leaving the classroom. She mouthed 'trouble maker' with smile and a wave she was gone.

Andie returned and the rest of their class went on without a hitch, Chase had left Andie alone until the bell rang and they headed toward the hallway to head to their next class.

"You know that was really mean?" Chase said to her.

"Whatever are you talking about?" She gave an innocent smile while looking up at him.

"Oh you know what I'm talking about; by the way I think you are the trouble maker. And our next class is not together. I have Algebra III with Ms. Cook and you have Trig with Mr. Hopkins." Andie groaned. "What?" Chase asked.

"Are all my teachers men? I mean come on with you and all guy teachers that will be too much testosterone to handle for any female."

"Oh, stop complaining, come on I'll show you to your classroom." As they left Chase took Andie to the third floor and left her outside the door to her classroom. With a simple 'goodbye' and 'see you in chemistry' he was gone.

Andie realized that she had only known him for two and a half hours but they acted like they had known each other for years. She had never made a friend that fast that she felt that comfortable around. Her next class was surprisingly pretty fun. The teacher was funny and he was actually pretty hot so that gave Andie even more of a reason to like the class. The first thing that he told his class was that he was to go by his first name, which was Zach. He was on the younger side. He read through his portion of the handbook rather quickly with a basic summary which had the class laughing.

One floor down found Chase dozing in his Algebra class. He didn't exactly get along with this teacher either. His thoughts were consumed by the feisty girl that he had met this morning when the teacher he was currently sitting in front of slammed the textbook down on his desk, making him jump so bad that he fell out of his chair while the class laughed at him.

"It would do you good Mr. Collins if you paid attention." The teacher told him. Chase's friend Erik, known as Cable, tapped him on the back. "Chase it would do you some good to pay attention in class." Cable said with a smile.

"Shut up, man."

"Who is she?" Chase gave him a puzzled look. "I'm talking about the one that has you so distracted." Cable clarified.

"What? No one." Chase whispered.

"Okay, I'll find out sooner or later who she is man." Chase just shrugged his shoulders as he and Erik went back to listening to the teacher drone on.

The class ended without anymore incidents with either Chase or Andie. When the bell rang Andie had no problem finding her Chemistry class, it was only two rooms down from that of her Trig class. She had found a seat towards the back of the classroom and started to sit down in the chair when Chase came walking in. Immediately his eyes found her and walked towards her, placing his things on the lab table and taking a seat next to her.

"Well, hello partner." He said.

"Partner?" She questioned.

"Did you not read the sign on the door before walking in? It said to find a place to sit and find a lab partner. Whoever you choose is going to be your permanent lab partner for the year. Jeez, Andie, honestly you make me worry sometimes." He said with a grin.

"Whatever, trouble maker, I don't have a problem being your partner – I just have one thing to say… you better do your school work. I don't play around when it comes to getting these things done."

"Yes, Ma'am. And don't worry I make straight A's. Well most of the time that is." He replied. At this the bell rang and the teacher walked in.

"Hello class, my name is Mr. Olivier. I am going to be teaching you advanced chemistry this year. Just give me a moment to take role call and then we can begin." Mr. Olivier started, Andie and Chase drowned him out and he started calling out names and asked who's partnered.

"So do you like chemistry?" Chase asked trying to make small talk.

"Yes, it is my favorite subject. Well, in general science is. I like the fact that science can't lie, either it's true or false. There is no middle ground." She said while opening her notebook, at the same time Chase's name was called.

"Collins, Chase."

"Here." He replied.

"Partner?" The teacher asked.

"Andie, ummm." He realized after spending all this time with her he didn't even know her last name. She helped him out with the rest of that.

"Andie West." She finished.

"Thank you Ms. West. Okay, I don't see the point in going over the handbook, we already know what it says – do I have any objections?" There was a chorus of 'No Sirs'

"Okay, and for a little bit of extra credit, can anyone answer this question for me? Which element has the highest first ionization energy?" The class looked around at each other, not knowing what to do. Slowly, Andie raised her hand.

"You in the back there, Ms. West, correct?" Mr. Olivier pointed.

"Yes and the answer is phosphorus. It has a first ionization energy of 1012 kilo joule per mol."

"Well, I know one student who will pass the class with flying colors." The class just stared at Andie with their mouths open, including Chase, while she blushed at what the teacher said. "Congratulations, Andie, you and Mr. Collins get ten points added to your first test of the semester." When Chase heard his name he looked to the teacher and grinned as if saying 'that's my partner'.

The first half of chemistry went without anymore embarrassing moments for Andie. Lunch time had arrived at the sound of the bell, Chase and Andie walked towards the cafeteria; both getting in line to get their food: 'tofu dogs and fruit' is what the sign at the beginning of the line said. After making their way through the line, they went to find a table to sit at – the only one available was the one at the top of the cement stairs by the trash cans. Chase let Andie precede him, again.

"Shall we?" He asked.

"Yeah." Andie sat down on the opposite side of the table of Chase. "This school is pretty cool; it's different, but cool." She said.

"Yeah, it has its moments." Chase said, shrugging while taking a bite out of his tofu dog. At the same time he took a bite out of his food, a tall lanky kid with extremely curly hair made his way to the table they were sitting at.

"Guys, do you mind if I sit with you?" He asked. Andie was the first to respond since Chase had his mouth full.

"No, go ahead. Have a seat." She smiled, motioning to the space next to her.

"Thanks – by the way I'm Robert Alexander, the third…but you can call me Moose." He replied a bit geekily.

"I'm Andie." She said. He held up his fist knocking it with Andie's. "No, No, No… it's like this. You have to make it blow up." He said taking her hand and showing her how to do his 'special handshake'. Andie glanced at Chase who shrugged his shoulders.

"Yeah, you're in my Trigonometry class." He said. Chase went to introduce himself.

"I'm Chas…" He was interrupted.

"Yeah, man, I know who you are. Chase Collins, MSA golden boy." Chase really didn't like this little twerp. Andie snorted, while Chase glared at her.

"You're not eating?" Moose asked pointing to Andie's tray of food.

"You call this food?" She asked looking down at the disgusting meal on her tray.

"Tofu dogs are both delicious and nutritious." He said, while taking a bite and getting mustard all over his face, in the meantime, Chase had finished his food and got up to leave.

"I'm going to put my tray away. I'll catch you back in Chemistry, Andie. And by the way, you have crap on your face." He said, looking at Moose, getting mad that the kid sitting beside Andie was getting all her attention for the moment.

"What's up with him?" Moose questioned, after Chase had gotten far enough away.

"I don't know I just met him today. I really don't know that much about him; other than the fact that his brother directs the school. He has been really nice to me today, though." Andie said as the bell signaling lunch time was ending sounded over the PA system. Moose crammed the last of his food in his mouth and grabbed his tray, as Andie got up, grabbed her tray, intending to throw them way. They started walking back into the school when Andie looked up and noticed Chase surrounded by three girls, near the door to their Chemistry class.

"So…is that what you meant by Chase being a golden boy?" Andie said pointing to all him and the girls.

"I guess, there is more to it than that, though. I mean he is an okay guy he just never gets in trouble – sure every kid here gets detention at some point or another, but he always manages to get out of it." Moose said.

"And what about that." Andie indicated to the girls, as they stopped and leaned back on a row of lockers.

"Well, that is the cyborg trio. The dark headed girl is Chase's ex-girlfriend, Sophie. The other two are just her side kicks: Heather and Nicole. They all act, sing and dance." Moose held up his hand, ticking off their skills with his fingers.

"So, he's a player." She asked, staring at Chase, and then glancing at Moose.

"He's more like an All-Star." Moose said shrugging his shoulders. As soon as he got done talking Andie looked back to find Chase looking at her mouthing the words 'help me' to her. She turned back to Moose.

"Well, I guess I better go rescue him before we are late back to class. It was nice to meet you Robert. I'll see you around, hopefully." She held up her hand to do the 'blown up' knock with his. He just grinned at this.

"Sure thing, Andie West." And he was gone in the crowd. Andie made her way over to Chase, stopping about five feet behind the girls that were surrounding him. She looked up and caught the pleading in his eyes as they locked on one another again. She decided to put him out of his misery. She walked up to the girls.

"Excuse me." She said loud enough so the girls surrounding Chase could hear her. They turned to look at her as she pushed her way in between Sophie and Heather and grabbed Chase's hand.

"Let's go, trouble maker, we are going to be late for class." And with that she didn't say anything to the girls as she dragged Chase behind her back to their chemistry room, the whole time receiving dirty looks from 'the cyborg trio'.

"I don't know who she thinks she is, but she better watch her back." Sophie said, as she turned to go back to her class. "Come on, ladies, no need to be late."


There you have it. Part 2/3 of the first day of school. I know I said that I was going to finish the day, but as it turns out the chapter would just be too long. And I got to find some way to make you guys review (Just kidding).

Oh yeah and I used some of the information from my high school such as the teacher going by his first name and things like that. I don't know if anyone else had that experience. The guy was 23, fresh out of college teaching us 17 and 18 year old kids.

Hope you enjoyed it, and as always please review and tell me what you think. I would greatly appreciate it.
