Hi! Sorry for the wait! I've been forgetting to update a lot! I do that. Like I said, I'm speeding up the story here. Hope you like it!

"Tenth grade. Not as much fun knowing nothings changed, huh?"

Vlad and Maddie nodded. Nothing really had changed, except that they were all a year older, slightly taller, and Jack was becoming even more ghost obsessed. If that was even possible.

"I can't believe we don't have any classes together!" said Maddie.

"I know," said Vlad. "It's not fair! They should let us make our own schedules."

"That would be nice." said Maddie sighing. "Well, we have lunch together. That's something."

The bell rang and they headed off towards their separate classes. It was kind of a new concept. Ever since they'd met in elementary school they'd had all their classes together. It was kind of weird for Jack to have no one to babble about ghosts to. It was weird for Vlad to look over and not see his two best friends. It was weird for Maddie not to hear Jack's constant talking and see Vlad's looks of pure annoyance. It was too quiet for all three of them. So you have no idea how relived they were to hear the lunch bell ring.

"I'm so glad I'm out of that class." said Vlad as they all sat down around a circular table in the cafeteria. "I don't think I've ever actually listened to a teachers lecture, and I don't plan to again."

"I know," said Jack, resting his head on his hand. "They just drone on and on."

"I'm going to try to switch classes." said Maddie. "I can't stand feeling to lonely in class. It drives me nuts! Plus it's way too quiet."

"Well, we can try," said Vlad hopefully. "But I don't know if they'll let us change classes. With all the rules here, there's probably a rule against it somewhere."

"Well, I'm starved. Let's get some food." said Jack. They all stood up and walked to the lunch line together.

A few weeks later, they had found a way to get a class together. But there had only been one open class: Cooking.

"I hate cooking." said Jack, twirling the whisk. "I can't even make toast without burning it."

"I can make pancakes." said Vlad. They were all standing around a small counter. Even though half the class had gone by, they still hadn't even started.

"Oh, come on. It's not that bad." said Maddie, taking a few things out of a cupboard.

"Easy for you to say," said Jack as the whisk fell to the floor. "You're a girl."

"What does being a girl have to do with it?" said Maddie, turning to face him.

Jack blinked and backed up a step. "Nothing. Just that girls are usually better at cooking."

Maddie rolled her eyes. "That's such a typical thing for a boy to say. I suppose you think boys are better at sports too?"

"Well, yeah." said Jack shrugging. "Most boys are."

Vlad just stood there, kind of enjoying watching them argue. It was kind of funny.

"Some boys are." said Maddie, almost yelling. "But you aren't. You can't play sports at all! You can't even golf!"

Both Jack and Vlad stared at her for a moment. Neither could remember the last time, or any time, that she'd ever openly insulted Jack. Or fought with him at all. Jack, Maddie, and Vlad were best friends, they didn't even fight over little things. It was almost scary.

"That was a little harsh, don't you think?" asked Vlad.(A/N: He's one to talk.)

"Oh, shut up!" said Maddie, making both Vlad and Jack jump. "Like you don't think the same thing!"

"Is there a problem here?" They all turned to see the teacher standing behind them.

"No, we're fine." said Jack. Maddie was to angry to speak, and Vlad just shocked into silence.

The teacher went over to one of the other counters to check another teams work.

"Guys, this is a really stupid thing to be fighting over." said Jack. "I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. I didn't mean it."

Maddie was still to frustrated to say anything so she just spun around and began mixing things in a bowl. Jack and Vlad sighed and went over to see if there was anything they could do to help.

I'm not making this easy for them, am I? Oh, well. Please reply! And, Vladysgirl, I'm really sorry I didn't get to start that other fic. I promise I'll do it soon.
