Chapter 3: Conversations

Van is showing Fiona to her locker, while Thomas is still trying to find a way to get her to notice him.

"Thanks for helping me out like this Van." Fiona says as they approach her locker.

"Hey it's no problem." Van says taking another look at her combination. "Oh by the way I won't be remembering this if you're wondering."

"I'm not worried if you do." Fiona says watching Van turn the lock dial. After another turn, the locker is open.

"Wow we never had those at Zoidian Academy." Fiona says pulling her pink backpack off her back and into her locker.

"What did you guys use as lockers at the school?" Van asks as she closes it.

"Oh we had personal places where we put our things, like closets." Fiona says trying to describe it.

"Oh fancy." Van says as Fiona giggles at how Van said it.

"Where are we going now?" Fiona asks putting her locker combination in her purse.

"Oh to the lunch room to have lunch." Van says as they approach a flight of stairs. They walk down the stairs and down another flight of stairs.

"How far away is it?" Fiona asks turning to Van.

"Oh this the floor. We have our lunchroom on the bottom floor, but not the basement." Van says turning to her.

"How many floors does this school have?" Fiona asks as they pass the bulletin board.

"Well let's see it's this floor, then the 1st with one floor of classes, then the 2nd floor and then the 3rd floor. So I would says about 4 floors." Van as they approach the door.

"Typical school." Fiona says as Van opens the door for her.

Fiona walks in and van follows up.

"So what are you in the mood for?" Van asks as they approach the menu. Fiona takes a look at the menu and ponders.

"MMmmm I don't know really. I'll just have a soda." Fiona says as Van looks over the menu too.

"Nothing I want to eat today." Van says turning to Fiona. "You said soda?"

"Yeah just one." Fiona says looking around the room for a vending Machine. She finds one by the door and begins walking away from Van to it. Van follows her to the vending machine.

Fiona looks at each label and ponders. She finds the one she likes and reaches in her purse for 65 cents. Once she gets the change out of her purse, she inserts it in the machine. She presses the button and the pop machine makes a sound but doesn't drop the pop.

"It ate my money." Fiona says pressing the button again.

"No it didn't. You just got to do this." Van says walking up to the machine and hits it one good time. The pop falls.

"For the lady." Van says bending down and picking it up out of the slot and handing it to her.

"Thanks Van." Fiona says taking it. "Are you going to have anything?"

"No I'm good. I usually don't eat the school food." Van says as they leave the cafeteria.

"Why not? You have to be hungry." Fiona says opening her soda.

"Not really. I usually eat people I run into." Van says smirking. Fiona gives him a weird look.

"Are you serious?" Fiona asks looking scared at Van.

"No not seriously. It's a joke. I wouldn't eat anyone. I'm just never hungry around lunch time unless I was sick." Van says, now walking to the door to the outside. When they reach the doors to the outside, Van opens the door to Let Fiona out. When she walks out, he follows her out.

"What a beautiful day." Fiona says taking in the fresh air in her lungs.

"Yeah it is beautiful. I usually come out here after school." Van says breathing in.

"So how big is the campus?" Fiona asks looking around the grounds.

"Well to my left you would have the tennis court and behind that is the football field." Van says pointing in that direction. Fiona looks to his left.

"Now to the right you would have the soccer field and way over there you would have the track." Van says pointing to the right. Fiona looks to the right in awe. (Yes their high school has really big field for those sports just in case you're wondering.)

"Wow those are big." Fiona says as she continues staring.

"Not to me. Also for the girls events, are held inside the school." Van says finding a bench. "You want to sit down?"

"Sure." Fiona says as Van leads her to the bench. They take a seat.

"I'm starting to like this school." Fiona says taking a sip of her soda.

"Well it's ok, but I wouldn't get attached to it." Van says watching the trees.

"Why not?" Fiona asks curiously.

"Well a lot of weird stuff does happen and you will come across weird people, like Thomas for Instance." Van says turning to Fiona. She giggles.

"I don't know how many times you have made me laugh today." Fiona says taking another drink of her soda.

"Good or bad?" Van asks.

"Well it's good. I didn't expect to meet someone like you on my first day, but I'm glad I did." Fiona says turning to Van.

"It's always nice to meet someone like you too." Van says as they move closer to each other.

"It was nice of you to show me around like this." Fiona says finishing her soda.

"As I said before, no problems." Van says looking her directly in the face.

"Well this is awkward." Fiona says now looking van in the face. He has that look that she can pretty much guess what's next. They are leaning closer and closer until the sound of a trash can falling can be heard. Fiona and Van turn in that direction.

"Oh great." Van says looking at who's running up to them.

"FIONA." Thomas yells as he stops at the bench.

"Hey Thomas." Fiona says putting her head down.

"Van can't I do something with her? You're always competing with me." Thomas whines.

"Thomas I'm not competing with you." Van says sighing.

"Van already showed me around the campus and where most of the things are, but you're welcome to walk me home along with Van. "Fine I'll do that. Are you hungry Fiona? I can always go get you something to eat." Thomas says reaching his pocket for his money.

"No that's all right I had something already." Fiona says turning back to Van as Thomas's expression turns to frustrated.

"So you wanna go walking some more?" Van asks as Fiona smiles.

"Sure." Fiona says as they get up from the bench. "You want to come Thomas?"

"Yea I do." Thomas says now picking his smile up again. The three begin to walk as Thomas starts up a conversation.

"So how are you enjoying your day so far?" Thomas asks as Fiona briefly turns to him.

"Oh it's fine since Van showed me where most things are." Fiona says smiling at Van. Vans does his cute grin. (I do mean cute) Thomas groans a bit.

"Did he show you everything?" Thomas asks. "Because if he didn't, then I can show you the rest."

"What's left?" Fiona asks looking at Thomas.

::::God she is Gorgeous.::: Thomas thinks to himself.

"Well the fields we have out here and the gym." Thomas says hoping he still has a chance.

"He has already shown me the fields and later on he's going to show me the gym because I have that class last hour while you have what now?" Fiona says turning to Van.

"I have social studies class. It's on the way to the gym so I figured might as well." Van says putting is hands behind his head.

"Well there still is the cafeteria." Thomas says.

"We been there already." Fiona says showing him the pop can. Thomas turns red with embarrassment and anger.

::::Why does he always get the girls?::::: Thomas fusses to himself.

The rest of Lunch went by with Van and Fiona talking, while Thomas continues to try and get her attention.

After lunch Van walks Fiona to her locker.

"So do you wanna meet after this class so I can walk to your 6th hour class?" Van asks as Fiona grabs her book bag out of the locker.

"Sure." Fiona says closing her locker. Van and Fiona leaves her locker and he walks her to her 5th hour class. When they get there, Van opens the door for her.

"See you later." Fiona says smiling as she walks in.

"Later." Van says as he watches her walk in.

Van goes on to his science class and watch the clock like he always does.

Science*

"Now the Mitochondria helps the cells divide and multiply." The teacher says showing a demonstration on the tape they are watching.

"I wish it could divide and multiply me a milk shake right now." Van says looking boredly at the tape.

:::I wonder what Fiona is doing in her class right now.:::::

Social Studies*

Fiona is sitting in class looking bored. She never really did care for social studies. She would rather do an Aquatic equation rather then this. She has that class with Thomas, who is staring at her from the 3rd seat in the row, in front of the class.

"Now this is how you read a grid to locate the continents." The teacher she has says. (Sorry ran out of names for the teachers.)

Fiona turns from the board briefly to look out the window, but instead ends up seeing Thomas stare at her with a tint of red in his face. She turns away and back to the board.

:::She looks so pretty sitting down there looking at the board. I wish she was my girlfriend already.:::: Thomas thinks to himself, completely ignoring the teacher.

The teacher finally gets through with the display and hands out the assignments.

After class*

The class finally let out and Fiona is outside waiting for Van when Thomas shows up.

"Hey Fiona." Thomas says surprising her.

"Hey Thomas." Fiona says now noticing him.

"I saw you down the row looking bored. I know that class can put you to rest." Thomas says hoping to spark an interesting conversation.

"Yeah that class is boring." Fiona says looking down the hall for Van who finally comes into sight. Van waves and Fiona waves back.

"Well I'm going to my next class." Fiona says leaving the doorway.

"I'll come." Thomas says following Fiona. Van walks up to her and smiles.

"Ready to go to your neck class?" Van asks smoothly.

"Yeah I am." Fiona says smiling. Van shows Fiona to her 6th class.

"Well here it is Miss Fiona." Van says opening the door for her.

"Thanks." Fiona says smiling. "Um Van, I want you to meet me after my 7th hour class."

"Oh sure ok." Van says. "I'll meet you there."

"OK bye Van, Thomas." Fiona says walking in the class.

"I wish she would ask me to be her boyfriend." Thomas says watching her take a seat in the class.

"That's a dream Thomas. You just keep those eyes closed." Van says walking off.

Thomas walks off to his class.

The rest of the last two class periods go by fast and it's finally after school. Van is waiting by Fiona's last class for when she walks out. When she finally does, She sees Van.

"Hey Van." Fiona says smiling at him.

"Hey how was gym?" Van asks as they walk to her locker on the same floor.

"It was ok, but I hate wearing those shorts and that shirt." Fiona says thinking of the thought.

"I know it sucks doesn't it." Van says as they reach her locker.

"I'm glad it's Friday." Fiona says turning the dial on her locker and finally opening her locker.

"Is it?" Van asks looking at his watch, spotting the day on his watch.

"Yeah it is. I don't know why they decided I show up today when I could have came next week." Fiona says putting her social studies book in her locker. "But at the same time I'm glad I did come today."

"Me too." Van says as she closes her locker. "So you going home now?"

"Yeah. You wouldn't mind walking me there would you?" Fiona asks looking at Van.

"Oh of course not. I live that way too so It wouldn't make a difference." Van says. "I mean if I lived the other way I still wouldn't mind getting you home safely."

Fiona smiles.

"So let me get you home so your parents won't worry about you." Van says as they walks towards the door and finally out the school building.

Raven and Reese are conversing outside, while Karl is putting his books by in his car and waiting for Thomas.

"He better not have detention." Karl says as he climbs in the car. Thomas comes out of the building and can see Fiona with Van, walking out of the gate.

"Aww man I'm too late. I could have kissed her before she left." Thomas says finding his brother's car and going over to it. He climbs in.

"What kept you?" Karl asks Thomas.

"My locker was stuck." Thomas says putting on his seat belt. "And I was looking for the new girl so I can give her my number."

"You try too hard Thomas." Karl says putting the key in the ignition and starting the car up. Soon he pulls out of the parking lot.

The walkway*

"Thank you for walking me home like this Van." Fiona says as he grins.

"Hey it's no problem. My mom always taught me to treat everyone with respect." Van says." And my dad always taught me to treat everyone woman delicately."

"They taught you well." Fiona says holding her history book.

"Well I always believe that if you meet someone who is nice, then you treat them nice." Van says looking at the sky. "It sure is clear out here."

They walk and talk until they reach her house.

"Well this is my house." Fiona says as Van stop, observing the size.

"Wow you must be rich." Van says looking at the house.

"No I'm afraid not. My parents both work all the time, full time jobs, so that's why I live here and why I barely see them." Fiona says looking down.

"Well I live in a house like this, but not as big." Van says turning to Fiona. "Well I best be going."

"Wait before you go, let me give you this." Fiona says pulling out a piece of paper and writing on it. Then she hands it to him.

"Thanks. Your Phone number and address." Van says observing it. "I'll put it in my personal Phone book."

"Oh and one more thing." Fiona says walking up to him and planting a kiss on his lips. Van is shocked.

"That's for helping me out and just being a nice guy. Call me later." Fiona says walking up to her door. Van turns to where she has gone and waves. She waves back and goes inside.

"Wow." Is all Van could say before he walks home himself, which is a block and 3 houses down.

Fiona's house*

Fiona runs upstairs to her room, very large room and puts her book bag down on the floor. She flops on the bed and grabs a pillow.

"I think I got myself a boyfriend." Fiona says sighing looking at the clock, next to her bed.

Well my god this one a long one. Well I hope you like this one. Why does Thomas try so hard? I guess he never gets it.

Well review and tell me how you like it.

Thanks.
