Chapter 2 Fitting In
A/N: Sorry it took so long to update but I've been super busy!! Thanks to everyone who reviewed!!! I realize that some characters might be out of character like Jamie's bike being replaced by a car and the fact that he and Catie are already dating but it was all changed for the story. So if you see any character mistakes, I probably did it on purpose. Hope that clears up some confusion.
"Mary Jane?" the teacher beckoned, "Mary Jane!"
Mary Jane's head turned away from the window and looked innocently at the teacher.
"Would you like to introduce yourself to the class?" the teacher asked, slightly raising an eyebrow at her.
Mary Jane sat up a little straighter and tucked her hair behind her ears.
"My name is Mary Jane, I just moved here from Texas and I'm so happy to be here to meet all you fine people," she said, giving everyone a bright smile.
"Oh please...," Catie muttered, rolling her eyes.
"That will be enough Miss Roth," the teacher scolded, "Now enough chit chatter, on with the lesson.," the teacher said and began to drone on about the wonders of science.
Near the end of Class..
Jasmine leaned over to talk to Val, "She's really nice, but sort of strange, don't you think?" she whispered, looking at Mary Jane
"Hmmm...what did you say?" Val murmured, not catching anything that had been said, due to the fact that she was staring holes into Tyler's head.
Jasmine did not miss that little fact and couldn't help but laugh at Val.
"Why don't you ask him out already?" Jasmine asked.
"No way! What if he doesn't like me back? And I think he should be the one to ask me out anyway," Val whispered back.
Jasmine rolled her eyes and was about to tell Val how stupid she was acting when the teacher turned around.
"Girls!! I will not tolerate whispering while I lecture, I'm sure what you have to say can wait till the end of class," the teacher snapped and turned back to the board.
Just then, the bell rang and everyone eagerly stampeded to lunch.
Jasmine noticed Tyler coming near her and Val with Hank beside him. Maybe she'd just try out her matchmaking skills for a second.
Jasmine waited till the boys got nearer and suddenly turned to Val and said in a very loud voice, "I'm sorry Val!!! But I just CAN'T help you with your science homework tonight, if only there was someone who could!"
Val gave her a very confused look and opened her mouth to say, "But I didn't-"
"I can help you with your homework if need help Val," Tyler's voice cut in.
Val whirled around after shooting Jasmine a Now-I-Know-What-You're-Up-To look.
"Sure Tyler, why don't you come over after school and we can get started on it?" Val suggested enthusiastically.
"Looking forward to it," Tyler grinned, touching her arm before walking away with Hank.
Val sank against the locker sighing.
"Girl, you've got it so bad for him," Jasmine laughed, patting her friend on the arm.
Elsewhere:
"REMEMBER, don't tell the teachers where you got it or I might have to get angry, okay?" Jamie said menacingly, handing over a pen filled with drugs.
"Okay," the boys said eagerly, and ran off.
"Hey," a voice called, "Couldn't you get in trouble for that around here?"
Jamie turned around expecting to see a teacher and was surprised to find the new girl standing there.
"Not if someone keeps their mouth shut," Jamie said, narrowing his eyes.
"Oh, I won't tell anyone...for a price," Mary Jane said, placing her hand on Jamie's face.
Jamie shrugged it off lightly, "Listen, I'm sure you're very nice and all, but I've already got a girlfriend and I'm not trading her in for no one," Jamie replied.
Mary Jane stepped back in disappointment when Catie came striding back from the bathroom.
"Well, well well, what's Barbie doing here?"Catie said in disgust.
"Nothing Catie, keep quiet will you?" Jamie snapped.
"I was just leaving anyway," Mary Jane said sweetly, "Bye Jamie," she said, her innocent voice taking on a note of sultry.
Catie glanced at Jamie's face to Mary Jane's with suspicion.
"What's going on Jamie?" Catie demanded.
"Nothing. Just forget about it," Jamie muttered. He slid his hands around Catie's waist leaning in to kiss her when she yanked herself out of his grasp.
"No, I won't just forget about it, did something happen while I was gone? Because you know I hate Barbie already and yet here you are defending her," Catie said suspiciously, "Don't tell me you like her?"
Jamie shook his head disbelieving her, "No f****** way! You know she's not my type," he said, then seeing her skeptical face he pulled her to him again, "You know it's you I love, don't ever think otherwise." He cupped her face, stroking her cheeks with his thumbs before kissing her gently before it became more insistent, more passionate.
Catie's anger melted away like ice cream in the sun.
Mary Jane watched on before walking away to sit in the sprinklers.
