She finally found the office where her brothers Ben and Jeff were waiting, "Where the hell have you been?" Jeff huffed, "We've been waiting for ages."

"It's a big school Jeff it's not that easy to find my way when I don't know where I'm going."

"Fair enough, I've got your timetable here. The Principal is busy so we're showing you around instead."

"Great now I can get even more lost." she smirked.

"Ha ha!" Jeff said as he lightly punched her arm.

"Hey be nice, I'm new." she said as she rubbed her arm.

"Whatever, let's go." Ben said as they made their way to the corridor.

They gave her a short tour of the school and a map just in case she gets lost. The bell went at 8:45 for everyone to go to their respective homerooms. They showed Kate to hers and lightly kissed her cheek and gave her a light hug before they left for theirs.

She walked in and was greeted by a young girl dressed in a black skirt and a red top that read 'I LOVE NERDS'. "Hey you're new?" she asked excitedly.

"Yeah, I'm Caitlin." she smiled.

"I'm Abby but they all call me Abs." she pulled her into a hug. Kate had no idea what to say so she just hugged her back. "Well you can sit with me and my friends if you like?"

Kate was a little worried about what Abby's friends would think of her. She wasn't dressed in black nor was she wearing dark make-up. She was surprised to find out that her friends weren't Goths but just normal. "Guys this is Caitlin," she gestured towards her new friend as she introduced her.

"Hey I'm Tim McGee and this is Jimmy Palmer." he introduced himself and they boy next to him. They both looked like the nerdy kind Tim was dressed in a suit and tie 'a little too formal for school' Kate thought, and Palmer was wearing suit trousers and a shirt and he wore glasses. "Where are Paula and Ziva?"

"Hey guys. Sorry we're late but Paula wanted to watch Tony playing basketball….Again!" she said with an emphasis on the 'Again', she had an Israeli accent and looked a little like Kate. Paula on the other hand was slightly smaller than Ziva and was blonde.

"Hey come on! The guy's so hot." she smiled dreamily.

"And you don't have a chance." Ziva scoffed.

"Maybe. But a girl can dream." she threw back at her friend. They all laughed at her comment.

Kate was confused and Abby could tell, "To put it this way, Anthony DiNozzo is a jock who plays basketball and Paula literally drools over him." she explained.

"Oh right!" she smiled at them.

"This is Kate, Kate this is Paula," she gestured to the blonde "and Ziva." she gestured towards the other.

"Hey Kate, nice to meet you, welcome to Hell." Ziva said wickedly.

"Hey everyone."

"Morning Sir." the class replied to the teacher. He was fairly old with thinning hair on top and he had a nice smile.

"Ah we have a new student today," he looked towards Kate, "Hi I'm Mr Fornell and welcome to Duquette High."

"Thanks." she smiled politely.

"Well let's do a role call. Please take a seat anywhere in the classroom Miss-?"

"Todd-Caitlin Todd." she cut in.

"Miss Todd," he smiled back.
