~~~~~~~~~A/N: Again thanks for the reviews! You guys are the greatest.
Just a few things though before you read, Gil's a senior now and it's been
about 6 months since Rebecca left. I'm also sorry it's taken this long to
get. Here's the next chappie!~~~~~~~
Why Me?~~~~~
A door slammed. Gil ran through his front-yard, he had to make the bus. FUCK!!! Gil came to a sudden stop as his eyes fastened on the retreating bus. Gil threw up his arms. "Okay, senior year is gonna suck!"
He looked at his watch; he had 30 minutes until school started. 30 minutes in which he had to walk or run 2 and half miles, then get to his locker, and then, somehow, be in his desk by the time the bell rang. He wasn't going to make it.
He started to walk towards school, while he thought of all that had happened since Rebecca left. His life had been utter shit. He shook his head at the thought of the weeks following her leaving. He didn't think there was one day during those 3 weeks that he hadn't been beaten. When Jasper had found out that Rebecca was leaving, he had seemed to take out all of his anger on Gil.
And what was even worse was that Gil's father took money out of his mother's back account and had also "forgotten" to pay child support again. God! Did Gil hate him!
It wasn't really the fact that his father made him feel like he was nothing or the fact that he had never taken care of his side of the court order. No, it was the fact that his father filthy rich and taking Gil's hard earned money, and spending it for things like candy. It also bothered Gil that he had no power over it, and he wasn't going to let his mother find out.
It would hurt her too much.
Gil looked up and blinked. Once. Twice. Three times. He looked at his watch, 6 minutes left till school started and he was actually standing in front of the school. "This is either my lucky day or it's gonna be a weird day."
He had to hurry; he had just enough time to get to his locker and then on to class.

Charisma Chase, hurried down the hall. God, did she hate being the new kid. She had not been in the school for 10 minutes when the first guy had come up to her and asked her if he could show her around. And 6 guys later, she hadn't stopped long enough for anyone to talk to her.
'Man this school is old and huge!' she thought as she rounded the corner straight into a person, who had been traveling at light speed. She dropped her books only to be saved from dropping herself by a strong grip.
He let go of her and she looked up to find Gil staring at her. 'Whoa, is he hot or what?' She was almost sure her jaw was on the floor.
"Oops, so sorry!" He dropped to his knees and started to gather up her stuff.
She smiled and bent down and grabbed the book that he had dropped and two of hers. "It's ok, nobody's hurt." He stood up and handed her one of her books and binder, grabbing his book from her hands. She noticed that he could probably help her find her classroom, but also was secretly hoping to steal a few more moments with him. He was just too cute to pass it up.
"Hey, I'm new! And, well, I was wondering if, uh, you could, um, show me where my first class was?" She was blowing it.
He grabbed her schedule from her hand and scanned over it, "Room 2013, go to the end of the hall and take a right, go out onto the balcony and it should be the first door on the left." And with that he took off running down the hall, just disappearing into a classroom when the bell rang.

Charisma sat in the front row, near the window. It was fifth period and she had two more to go after this. And she was bored out of her mind. She knew everybody wanted to be her friend but that wasn't saying she necessarily wanted to be theirs. She hated being the new-
She squeaked.
She had been thinking about really only one thing that day and it had just walked through the classroom door. God, was he edible or what? He was just. Yum! She willed him to sit by her.
He looked around the room and made his way to the back; and took the last desk, the farthest from everybody and from the front of the room. Her heart ached when she saw two jocks point at him and snigger.
Her eyes traveled back to him and watched his every movement.
He opened his binder and took out some paper and a pen. He opened his textbook, eyes skimming over the text within. He looked at the clock, and then looked back at his book. She looked at the clock and saw she still had 2 more minutes of staring time.
She looked back at him, to find him writing- no, scribbling something. He stayed like this until the teacher closed the door. He slowly raised his head and he looked like his whole attention was on the teacher.
Charisma shook her head. She had to find out who he was. 'This is gonna be a long class.'
An hour later, Charisma raced out after the boy, who had caused her to not pay any attention to Ms. Smith. She had seen him walk out first and now she was running down the hall after him.
All of a sudden, a boy stepped in front of her. She was about to push him out of the way but then he said, "Whoa, excuse me but have we met?"
"Huh?" She looked up into the jock's face; well he wasn't that bad looking. "Oh yeah, um, no we haven't." She held out her hand and smiled, "I'm new, my name's Charisma Chase."
He shook her hand and smiled a charming smile, "Oh, so you're the new kid," at her nod, he added, "I'm Jasper."
"Look Jasper, I would love to chat but I gotta get to 6th." As much as she thought he was charming, he was kind of scary as well.
"Can I walk you?"
Charisma sighed, 'Okay, tomorrow I'll find out who he is.' She turned to Jasper and put her best smile on, "Okay!"
She looked down the clearing hall, trying to see if her mystery guy was still there. He wasn't.
~~~~~~ Ooh, I want you/ I don't know if I need you/ But, ooh, I'd die to find out/ Ooh, I want you/ I don't know if I need you/ But, ooh, I'd die to find out/ So can we find out? ~~~~~~
~~~~~A/N: Hit the button and tell me what you think! I know this was happier than what it's been. Hey, Gil might come out of this happy. *rolls eyes*. Ok, next chap is going to be more Gil, and we will be getting back to angst. I'll try not to take as long to update this time!~~~~~~
