A/N: Woo! I am finally into the chapter that starts the story and gets the
plot going. Enjoy.
Disclaimer: um…don't own anything. Ok, I own Elaine. My gosh, please notice Joey, and recognize Ella. * Take note: Joey is NOT Joey Donnor. Joey is Joey…um…Somebodyelse. *
Bianca scanned the food court for someone to eat with. The ENTIRE place was full. She slightly groaned as she thought about having to throw away her food and just wandering ALONE the hour lunch period. Suddenly, she caught sight of a girl who was sitting next to an empty chair. As usual, Bianca noted the girl's style before anything else. The closer she walked, the more she agreed with her decision to sit next to this cinnamon-colored girl. Bianca even liked the girl's hair; black and down like Bianca's. Why, the girl was even wearing a pair of Sketchers!
"Hey." Bianca said to the girl as she slipped into the seat beside her. "Um, my name is Bianca. Can I eat with you?"
The girl, whose chocolate eyes scanned Bianca's, smiled. "Sure. Oh, my name's Gabbie." After an awkward moment of silence, Gabbie looked up from her pudding. "So, where'dja move from?"
"Oregon."
"Dang. This place like your old school?"
"No." Bianca wondered for a second if this was really who she wanted to "be seen" eating with. All of her old friends were bubbly and talkative and open. Gabbie seemed…well, really low on the popularity scale.
"Hey, let's ditch this food. It's too nasty to eat. I'll show you around." Gabbie spoke up as she walked over to a trashcan and tossed the plastic lunch tray and it's equally plastic food away.
As they walked, Gabbie plastered on a smile. The smile wavered for a second as the two neared a group of boys and girls who were decked in every brand name out there. None of it really went together, but the colors matched. Gabby whispered to Bianca the closer they got. "These are Carter's 'beautiful people'. They won't talk to you unless you talk to them first."
Bianca, forgetting to whisper, "Is that your rule or theirs?"
Gabbie, while still grinning, replied "Watch and learn." The two of them continued walking past the group until Gabbie suddenly turned around and smiled patronizingly at one of the group's girls. "Nice skirt, Bobbi- Sue."
The poor girl could barely mutter a "thank you" before the rest of them chorused like a bunch of third graders "Hi there, Gabbie!"
Gabbie smiled pertly. Then she turned around and continued to walk with Bianca. "It's kinda fun, but my cheeks hurt from smiling so much." She looked down at her list of vocabulary words. "Bianca?"
"What?"
"You smart?" After Bianca shrugged, Gabbie explained. "See, I know you can be Overwhelmed, and I know you can be UNDERwhelmed…but can you ever just be whelmed?"
Bianca looked up thoughtfully for a second, and then answered. "I think you can in Europe."
Gabbie nodded as if the meaning of life had been explained, and continued talking. At that moment, Bianca decided that Gabbie was defiantly popular enough.

"Oh my gawd. I burn, I pine, I perish." Joey breathed as he caught sight of the most drop-dead gorgeous girl in the entire world: past, present, and future. "David!" He grabbed his friend's shirt collar. "Do you know who she is??" Joey didn't even know who this angel was a second ago, but now he felt like she was stealing his heart.
"Reality Check." David waved his hand in front of his love struck friend. "Bianca Stratford. She's a sophomore. Listen, forget about her." David pointed to Gabbie, who was about ten feet from the both of the guys. "Look at who she's with. Remember her? Gabbie? The MOST POPULAR sophomore? Put her in your spank bank and forget about it."
Not hearing a word of anything negative, Joey absent-mindedly agreed. "Yeah, right, whatever." Her name is Bianca.

A bit away, Ella was watching Bianca. Her friend Elaine commented sarcastically, "Queen of boys? Hmm."
Ella boasted coyly " Have you seen anyone else get so many guys at once?" She smiled and they both rolled their eyes.
Elaine scanned the scene and caught her eye on Joey gaping at Bianca." Well your little sister-"
"Don't you DARE call her that!" Ella snapped.
"I was just kidding." Elaine protested. "But anyways, look at that guy over there. He's crazy over Bianca. HE'S outta reach for you."
Ella calmed down and scoffed. "No one's outta reach for me."
Elaine lifted an eyebrow. They were hypnotize by the love crazed Joey. "Wanna put money on that?"
This was soooo right up Ella's isle. But "the queen's" modeling career paid her enough. She laughed and bit her lip. "Money I got. This I'll do for fun."

A/N: U like? I like. Oh, short chapters rule now, so I can get chapters done quicker. Large chapters intimidate me, and I slow down on writing after a few lines.
