I'm so sorry that I haven't posted in a while. Marching band + school = barely any free time, and then when I recently had some free time, my computer crashed and I was having problems with it. Also I was having some troubles with this story, I tried planning everything out instead of just coming up with things as I went along, and hit some major road blocks, but I decided to worry about those when I get that far.

Sorry if this chapter isn't the best, I'm home sick and just wanted to get some out, I'll try and write the next chapter, it should be a little easier to write, and post it ASAP.

Thank you for reading and your patience!

Jake ran up to me as soon as I walked into the classroom.

"Rosie ditch you?" He asked with a smile. It pained me to admit, but his smile was breathtaking.

"Kind of. She had to get to her class on the other side of the school." I said with a small smile back.

"Then I guess she left me to do the honors of introducing you to Mr. Keadle." He said smiling.

"I guess so." His smile was contagious.

He put his arm through mine and walked me to the front of the classroom. I blushed at the touch, hoping he wouldn't notice that my skin was kind of cold through the sweater.

"Mr. Keadle this is Sam." Jake said to the teacher. He was tall and blonde, with a look on his face that looked like he'd rather be a student in high school then teaching.

"I heard we were getting a new student in this class. Welcome Sam." Mr. Keadle said with a smile. "Jake go sit down, I think I can deal with Sam here." He said turning to Jake. He turned bright red at Mr. Keadle's comment but then went to go sit down. I grabbed the paper he needed to sign out of the pile of papers and held it out to him.

"Can you sign this please?" I asked.

"Sure thing. Is he your guide all day?" He asked walking behind his desk for a pen.

"No actually his sister is, but she had to get to her class and figured Jake would be ok to help me during class today." I said.

"Ok, just wondering, because if he was your guide, I would suggest asking for another one. He seems a little head over heels for you." Mr. Keadle said with a smile. "Just a warning." He handed me the paper back.

"Thanks for the warning." I said. My first day here and I was getting boy advice from a teacher, I wondered what would be next.

"So the only seat open is the one next to Jacob, so I'll put you there. Also, the two of you will probably have to share a text book for the day because I don't have any more in the classroom, I can get one for you tomorrow." He said.

"Ok thanks." I said turning and walking back to where Jake was sitting.

"Do I get the honor of having you sit next to me?" Jake teased.

"You do have the honor of sitting next to the great Sam." I sad smiling. He was really easy to get along with.

"Alright class, today is just a day that I'm going to give you an assignment and you have the entire class period to work on it, come ask questions if you have any, and if you don't finish in class it will be homework that I will be checking in tomorrow in the beginning of class." Mr. Keadle said from the front of the class room. He wrote the assignment on the board and then sat at his desk and started working on something.

I quickly grabbed a notebook out and wrote the assignment down on the page.

"Are you going to get your book out?" I asked Jake. "Mr. Keadle said we would have to share a book today."

"You actually want to do the assignment?" Jake asked surprised.

"Yes I want to get the assignment done in class so I don't have to do it today after school." I said. "Go ahead and make fun of my nerdiness all you want but let me see your text book first." He grabbed his text book out from his backpack and handed it to me.

"Just so you know, I would never make fun of someone's nerdiness as you call it. I don't want homework when I get home either, I was just surprised that you would too, and glad that we can both just be working, instead of only one of us working." He said quickly, probably trying to cover his butt up.

The rest of the class period went by quickly. The work Mr. Keadle had assigned was easy, I had learned it earlier this year at my old school. I finished and put my notebook in my backpack.

"How the hell did you finish already?" Jake asked.

"I learned it earlier this year," I said. "and math is my strong subject."

"Damn, I was going to offer to tutor you if you needed it, but I'll probably be the one needing tutoring if it's your strong subject." He said giving his textbook a sour look.

"I'd be happy to tutor you if you need it." I said smiling. He smiled back at me.

"Great." He said.

"Sam!" Rosie called from the front of the room. I didn't notice her walk in.

"You two can leave now to get to your next class." Mr. Keadle said.

"Ok, give me a minute I need to finish putting my stuff away." I told Rosie. I grabbed my pencil case and put my pencil away.

"Sam, I have a quick question." Jake said as I was standing up.

"Shoot." I said with a smile.

"Would you maybe like to come over on Friday and help me with my math? And then after maybe go see a movie or something?" He asked shyly. Was he asking me out on a date? Or was it just him asking me to help him in math, and the movie be as friends as a thank you for helping him with his math. I could feel my cheeks turning red.

"Sure." I said. "We'll talk later I really should get going with Rosie to find my next class." I turned and walked to the front of the room.

"Ready to go?" Rosie asked with a knowing smile.

"Yep. Let's go." I said.

We had barely gotten out of the class room before she asked about what Jake had said.

"So Jake asked you out?" She said elbowing me in the ribs.

"I don't know. He asked if I wanted to help him with his math homework and then maybe go see a movie after wards. The movie is probably just a thank you for helping him with his math." I said quickly.

"Sure." Rosie said smiling. I blushed.

"Can we get off of the topic of my not date and talk about next period?" I asked.

"Sure I won't make you uncomfortable." She said. "Next period is history. Mrs. Vogt is a little weird, not going to lie. She smiles a lot, even when she's yelling at you. It's kind of creepy. But she's a good teacher and definitely knows what she's talking about."

"Well that should be good. I love history." I said.

"We're working on a project that we started about two days ago today, so you'll probably be put into a group. It's like a two week project so it's not like you missed a whole lot. And if you like history, you'll like her class." She said.
