Chapter 9: Interesting Chats

Yay! I'm updating :) Semi important Author's Note at the end.

All around me, people were chatting about what they had done over the summer. None of them were paying attention to me since they were catching up. That is, until, "Hi! I'm DeeDee. You're new around here, aren't you." This was starting to get annoying, but it wasn't exactly her fault she didn't know.

"Yeah, I'm Cammie."

"If you need anyone to show you around, just ask me." She genuinely seemed to want to help. I liked her immediately.

"Sure, and thanks." At that moment, Zach walked in, did that smirky-smile of his, and winked at me. DeeDee noticed and began questioning me.

"You know Zach? The Zachary Goode?"

"Umm…Yes?" It came out more as a question. "He's my neighbor. Why? Are you interested?"

"Every girl in the sophomore class is interested in him, but it's too bad that he doesn't let anyone in on who he likes." At this point, I was intrigued, but unfortunately, the bell decided to ring, successfully cutting off any questions I had for a later time.

At the beginning of each year at my old school, the teachers always ran through the class rules, how they expect us to behave, and other general things, regardless if we knew them or not. This school was no different. After everything was explained, she gave us a list including all the general supplies we would need for her class this year. Shortly after all the students had gotten a copy, the bell rang.

Everyone got up and headed toward the door, while socializing with their friends. I walked beside DeeDee, feeling as though she was my friend now. As it so happened, she apparently felt the same way because she smled warmly at me as I made my way toward her.

"So Cammie, which homeroom do you have next?"

"Uh…let's see," I took my schedule out. "Homeroom with Galbreath in room 220."

"That's too bad. I have McGurty in 224."

"It's cool. Say hi to my brother for me. His name's Grant Morgan."

"You have a brother? Is he super smart and skipped a grade, or is he, erm…special and had to stay behind? Ooh! I know! He's your stepbrother."

"Actually, he's my twin, but I wouldn't be surprised if he did fail a grade or two." I wasn't being harsh, exactly. I was being honest.

She just smiled and shook her head, then proceeded to change the subject. "Are you doing anything on Friday? If not, we could go watch a movie."

"Sure sounds good, but could I bring a friend?" She raised her eyebrows suggestively. "Let me clarify that. A friend who is a girl."

"Alright. Details later, okay?"

"Sure. We should probably get to class now." On that note, we separated.

"So Macey, you want to go watch a movie on Friday?"

"Sure, anyone else coming?"

"Yeah, this girl I met in my English class. Her name's DeeDee."

"Whatever. It's fine with me." After that statement had been said, the teacher walked in. Mrs. Galbreath. With that set in her jaw, and the glint in her eye, she didn't seem too friendly.

"Excuse me, Morgan. McHenry. There is to be no speaking unless called upon in my classroom." We both shut our mouths, but I saw Macey glare at her back as she wrote her name on the board. The room was eerily quiet. The only noise coming from the friction of the chalk against the board. I'll admit, I was in my own little bubble, so I didn't notice that the girl in front of me had given me a note, until it landed on my desk.

Don't let Mrs. Bad Breath get to you. My cousin had her and said she's evil. Destroy this.

-B

Repressing a smile, I discreetly passed the note to Macey whom, after reading it, raised an eyebrow in question. Damn. I wish I could do that. Sigh. I glanced at the black haired beauty in front of me. She nodded, then proceeded to tear the note up into a million pieces.

After homeroom was over, "B" turned around and began speaking. "I don't believe you'll be making a friend of Bad Breath anytime soon." Her voice, I noticed, was laced with a strong British accent, and she spoke with amusement in her voice. "I'm Rebecca Baxter, but I prefer Bex. You don't have to call me that, but if you call me Rebecca, you'll find yourself in a rather unpleasant position." Although she said it casually, I still heard the warning in her voice. I liked her. She seemed the type who usually got her way, whether by words or force, she did.

"I'm Cammie."

"Macey."

"What class do you two have next?"

"I have Social Studies with Schain."

"I've got English with Burkle."

"I have Social Studies with Schain as well. We'll meet up for lunch later, alright?"

"Sure."

"Sounds good."

Bex and I proceeded toward our next class, Social Studies with Mr. Schain. How do you even pronounce that?

We took seats in the back-you didn't think we'd go all the way up front and center, did you? Mr. Schain was late, so we began chatting.

"Do you know anyone here yet?"

"Yeah, so far I've met Zach, Josh, DeeDee, and you. In that order."

"You've met Zach and Josh? Those two are the most popular guys in school and the best of friends (A/N bet you didn't see that coming, but there was a hint before…sorta XP I kind of need them to be that). Josh is more of the cute and sweet one, but Zach is the hot and mysterious one."

"That's…intriguing."

"So what do you think of them?"

"I haven't really spoken to them all that much, so I can't say."

"Oh, but you will. Zach dates nearly any girl that shows they're interested in him, but he dumps them later."

"That's…interesting."

"You don't get it, do you," stated Bex. "Based on what he's done in this school he's a player. I honestly have no idea how Zach and Josh are best friends. They are the complete opposite of each other."

"I'll decide what I think of him when I got to know him, I guess. " Mr. Schain walked in at that moment, cutting off our discussion for a later time. Why does that keep happening today?

Be prepared for a longish Author's Note. Here goes.

I won't be able to update until around early to mid August, because I have an exam in early August, and I need to be studying, so I won't be able to update :(

I know what you're thinking. How can you have an exam in AUGUST! It's for my harmony 3. I failed it in the Winter, so I need to retake it. Well, actually, I got 60 something percent, but that's basically a fail for me, cuz for my other ones, I got over 90% I already got a bad mark for my practical piano test (74%) and I don't need to add another bad mark to my failures.

Also, if you review, I'll pm you a little sneak peek of what is going to happen in the next chapter. So, you kind of need an account.

I've been rereading the earlier chapters, and I was thinking. My writing changed o.0 and I need to fix some of the grammar and spelling mistakes, so that's all you'll be getting from me until August-ish.

PS. Do you think I should put Liz and Jonas in? Cuz there is too many people for me right now! I guess I could, if you wanted, but it's so much thinking, cuz I have no clue as to how to introduce them, but I'll think of something, hopefully.

Can anyone guess where I got the teacher names from? It was a book, cuz I'm bad at making up names. I also took the Bad Breath thingy from it, but Bex isn't going to be like that girl. I'll put up the name of the reviewer who guessed correctly first in the next chapter. Anonymous people can guess too :]
