He just looked at me with his smoldering black eyes then abruptly looked away with a grimace. I guess I'm being ignored again. Throughout the class period I noticed him inching away every now and then, but the feel of his eyes burning holes in the side of my head was what kept me on my toes.

Just when I couldn't take his glares any more the bell ringed and he flew out the door. "What's up with him?" I asked Angela when she walked up.

"Who knows," she responded, "Where to next?" I began looking for the slip of paper with my classes on it. I found it wedged between two pages in my math text book.

"Mr. Lovingworths… PE!"

"Yay we're still in the same class," She said while clapping. I looked up at her, with fear lining my eyes. She just giggled then grabbed my arm and towed be to the building that held the Gymnasium.

"Please don't make me go in there Angela," I pleaded. She shook her head and continued pulling me into the girl's locker room. Despite my efforts to get out of there she had both me and her dressed for PE. Curse that devil woman who made my schedule!

"Joanna PE is not that bad." I gave her that what-you-talking-about-Willis looks and in return she gave me you're-goanna-do-it-and-love-it look. I gave in.

"What up Joanna the JoJo monster," Mike said when he spotted us coming out of the locker room.

"Don't call me that."

"Kay I won't but I need to give you a nickname so you'll officially be a part of the group," he said with his hands up as if he was going to be arrested for a crime he knew he committed.

"Fine," I said, "you can call me…um… I don't know maybe black raven." He let that sink in for a minute then he nodded in approval. We joined Jessica, who was standing on the other side of the Gym. By the time we got over there the teacher blew on his whistle and told us to group up into groups of three. Jessica immediately grabbed Mike, who was joining a group with Ben, who also just came out of the locker room when the teacher yelled his orders. Angela and I were left to join this girl who had this allergy issue. For the rest of the class period we played dodge ball, which I made sure I got out of in the beginning, which my team was thankful for, because they also didn't want to play either. "Thank god this torture is over!" I said when I kicked open the gym doors.

Angela, Jessica, Ben, and Mike laughed at my happiness. When we got to the stairs we all parted our different ways and went to our own rides home. When I had finally got to my car I saw him again. He was sliding into a silver Volvo that was parked across the parking lot. When the car began heading my direction I quickly climbed into my green Envoy and watched him drive by through my review mirror. Sigh. I wonder what his problem was. Did I come off as an arrogant person or something? Starting up the car, I went over the procedures my dad always made me go through when I was about to drive on the road. When I was done and on the road I headed home.

"How was school?" David asked from the kitchen when I came in.

"Fine."

He turned around in the chair he sat in, away from his newspaper, and asked, "What happened?" I told him about the bronze haired boy, Edward, and what I had to endure in PE class, and a little bit about the new friends I think I just made. After I was done he told me what happened at work and about Sarah, a woman he met at work. I think he has a crush on her.

"Don't go falling for girls you don't know about," I said while I was putting away the dishes. He couldn't do anything but grin. When he let me go, I went upstairs to my room where I did my homework then went to bed.
