Okay, so I am never again saying that I'm not going to update until January because I would probably just be lying. I mean, I really planned on it, but it just didn't work out. I was supposed to babysit my nephews today but my sister had to take them somewhere, so now I can write. So, I won't say goodbye till January but I'm not promising that it won't be till January from now on.

Same Day: September 1st

Elle walked Amy up to the desk situated at the front of the room and when Amy stood sideways towards the room, expecting that she had to talk to the teacher, Elle gently turned her forward. Amy's cheeks reddened but noone seemed to notice, that she could see.

"Everyone, this is Amy Fleming. She's the girl that just moved in with the Baldwin's." Just as she was saying this the door to the room opened and Ty walked in, looking as though he thought he was right on time and not almost ten minutes late."Speaking of." Elle flashed Ty a sarcastic smile and waved.

"Hello Ty, nice of you to join us." She has a scowl on her face but replaced it with a smile as a women in the back of the room stood up and Amy realized it was the teacher.

"Ty, see me after class." She walked forward and shook Amy's hand. "Why hello, I'm Mrs. Martin, it's so nice to meet you. Just take a seat anywhere, though I warn you that the seat you choose is your seat everyday. I don't change then unless people begin to talk excessively." Amy thanked her and looked around the room. Elle had taken a seat in the third row, five seats back and there were no open seats around her. Elle saw her looking and glanced around, looking apologetic as she realized there were no empty seats near her. Amy smiled slightly and looked towards the far corner where there were two empty seats...right next to Ty. He sat in the corner and to his left were two empty seats and then there were more students. Amy walked towards him and sat down, leaving a desk in between them.

"I'm sorry about the seat, I didn't even realize until after I sat down." Elle fell into step with Amy as they left Current Events.

"No problem, I don't expect anything from you, you've been great." Amy adjusted her straps on her book bag before digging out her schedule from inside her pocket. She had math, chemistry, gym, and then french. She looked at Elle and waved her schedule with a slight smile.

"Oh, right." Elle took the sheet and looked down at it, stopping at an intersection in the halls. "Oh, well you have math right now and I have gym, so if you go down this hall and then turn right your math class is the second door on the left, okay?" Elle pointed and Amy followed her finger and nodded. "I'll meet you at your math class after and show you to chemistry, my class is right next to yours anyway."

They split up and Amy walked to her math class. She met her teacher, Mrs. Lewis, a short women with wispy hair, and got assigned a seat and at this point only three people had entered the classroom. She sat down, got out a notebook and pen, and waited patiently for the bell. About two minutes later it rung and a throng of people entered the room all at once, including, once again, Ty. She saw him notice her and could have sworn she saw a little grin, but excused it as a trick of the light and turned her head forward as Mrs. Lewis introduced herself.

"Was Mrs. Lewis hell?" Elle pulled Amy to the side of the door as she exited math.

"Uh, no. Why?" Amy had actually liked the math teacher and was truly curious as to why Elle assumed otherwise.

"Hm, maybe she finally found someone who would put up with her and her rat face." This came from a pretty brunette that walked next to Elle as they walked down the hall.

Elle smiled slightly and pointed at the girl, "This is Stacy. She has it out for Mrs. Lewis. See, she's always been a total bitch and gave Stacy over ten detentions last year, and she's mad, even though she deserved over half of them."

"I so did not deserve them! I mean, you saw how she spoke to me." Stacy was a dramatic talker who used her hands, which made Amy smile.

"Stace, she asked to see your homework one time and you screamed at her to step outside the box in which 'all teachers play around and are too scared to step out of for fear of the district'. All that, just because you didn't do your homework." Stacy looked shocked and then looked at Amy.

"Is it so much to ask that once in a while a teacher will go beyond the norm and not ask for homework. I mean, give us a break, you know? We work our ass' of for them and they never give us a break. Personally I think we are well beyond due for a massive homework strike."

Amy was about to speak when Elle jumped in, "Amy, don't listen to her. She's just trying to justify never doing her homework. And yet, she never fails." She looked over at Stacy in mock curiosity, "I wonder why that is?"

"It has absolutely nothing to do with a genius boyfriend who is totally against cheating but loves his girlfriend too much to let her fail. I mean, what gave you that idea?" She raised her arms in the air and walked backwards, away from them. "People these days!"

Elle laughed and led Amy down the hall. "So, that was Stacy. She's a great girl, just a little, crazy sometimes."

"I saw." Elle laughed and pushed Amy into a room while she went to the one next to it.

By the time lunch came around, right after sixth period, Amy had already had four classes with Ty. Current Events, math, chemistry, and art. In art she was assigned to sit right next to him and he had given her the cold shoulder the whole time. She was thoroughly exhausted when she stepped into the small cafeteria, but was relieved when Elle waved her over to a table that had ten people sitting at it. Six girls and four boys.

"Hey, everyone this is Amy. Amy this is Stacy, you know her, Sarah, Kasey, Amanda, and Jayme, or Jay, as we call her. The boys are Jacob, Pat, Dominic, and Zeek."

Lunch went smoothly and Amy found she really liked Elle's group of friends and was grateful that they seemed to like her also. When the bell rung Amy was really surprised because it had seemed to pass so fast. She scrambled for her schedule and looked at what she had next. Study hall then english.

"Hey, I have the same thing as you now, for the rest of the day, come on." Stacy had obviously read over her shoulder and Amy didn't even mind as she dragged her out of the cafeteria.

"So, you like it here so far?" Stacy asked Amy as they walked down the hall.

"Yeah, its great!" Amy answered, shrieking the word 'great' as Stacy pulled her into a room.

"That's good. Do you want to sit here?" She pointed at a table in the back of the room and Amy just nodded.

They were silent for a few moments before Stacy turned to her. "So, and I'm being serious, do you think I deserved that detention?" Amy laughed and jumped into the conversation, loving it.

Amy was the first one home, having ridden the bus since Ian had football tryouts, and she headed straight for the kitchen. She rummaged through the cram packed pantry for a snack. She decided on a granola bar and a juice box and then she headed up to her room, practically running into Ty as she turned down the hall. She teetered on the heels of her feet and Ty caught her right hand and clenched his hand lightly over her left biceps, keeping her standing. When she was stable he took a second before removing his hands.

"You okay?" He asked, not seeming like he cared, but asking anyway. Amy though maybe they were making progress.

"Y-yeah." She stuttered, still winded from the collision, and truthfully, from him speaking with something other than disgust in his voice. She watched, stunned, as he nodded and walked past her, brushing his shoulder with hers.

Yeah, short, I know, but a chapter none the less. Reviiiiew everyone, please.
