That night, I had the freakiest dream. I actually saw my parents, and they were in Roswell. It was the strangest thing ever, especially since I've never seen them in my life. I only knew they were my parents, because of a feeling. I didn't get much sleep after that, actually I didn't get any sleep. I was still awake when my alarm clock rang at seven, hitting the snooze button repeatedly. I lay in bed, just thinking about everything that had happened in the days, that I'd been here.
"You up yet?" I heard, Julie ask through the door.
"Yeah!" I shouted, and continued to lie there. Finally, I removed myself from my warm bed, turned off my alarm and got ready for school. Once at school, I was able to find my way around, thanks to Scott's directions. First class, was English again, I felt my heart quicken as the thought of Scott. I continued down the hall, retracing the steps I had gone the day before.
"Hey," I looked around to see Scott talking to me. I smiled, grateful to be seeing him again.
"Hi," I replied, as he fell in to step beside me.
"So, English class." He commented, I nodded. And, we walked on to the class, in a comfortable silence. As I took my seat in class, I smiled as Holly who had just walked in.
"Class, we'll be starting a project on each other. I will be assigning co-ed partners and from there you will write a biography on your partner." I looked around the class, my eyes stopping at Scott. When our eyes melt, he winked at me, making my heart melt. "The partners will be as followed; Brittany Anderson and James Armstrong

I was put with some dumb jock, Paul Williams. I wished I was Holly so bad, she got to be with Scott. I looked over at her, she was doodling on her note book, she couldn't careless. We were suppose to get together with our partner over the weekend, joy!
"Hey Holly!" I called after class. She smiled and came over to me.
"Charlie, how are you?" She asked, as she approached me.
"I'm doing ok, if only school be over!" I commented, laughing.
"Holly," We both looked, to see Scott approaching. "So, when do you want to get together?" He questioned her. Ok, I'm not a jealous person, but I can tell you then I wished he had been talking to me!
"Whatever works for you." She replied, shrugging. "I better go to class, see ya!" She called walking off. Scott looked confused.
"When will she and I meet?" He asked me, perplexed.
"Well, whatever works for you." I joked, quoting Holly. "Look, if you can't get in touch with her today. Call me, cause I can always tell you where she lives." I stated. Was that to obvious, that I liked him?
"Thanks, so much." He replied, we shared a smile.
"Here," I said, slipping a ten dollar bill in his hand.
"No, that's ok, really!" He replied, handing me the money I didn't except.
"Hey new kid!" I groaned out loud, when I saw Paul Williams on his way over to me. "So, buddy when do you wan to meet?" He asked me.
"Uh…" I had no sooner replied when he interrupted.
"I'll be over tonight, at 7:00. See you then!" He called walking away.
"Fine with me!" I responded sarcastically, at his retreating figure.
"Well, then I guess I can't ask you out tonight." Scott commented. Ask me out, yeah you can, I wanted to shout, but the bell rang, and we both had to go our separate directions.
