Joan, Luke, and Charity walked into the office helping Helen carry some boxes in. A boy stood at the front desk.

"Could I help you?" Helen asked.

"Yeah," the boy said. "I'm Travis Martinez. I just transferred here and I need a schedule."

"Yes, I talked to your mother, Cindy Martinez," Helen said. "I have your schedule over here."

Joan looked at him and then turned and mouthed, "Cute!" to Charity. Charity nodded in agreement.

Luke had seen it and he felt like someone had just stabbed him in the chest.

"I'm Joan Girardi," Joan said, holding her hand out to Travis. He grabbed it and shook it.

"I'm Charity Andrews," she replied. "I'm Joan's foster sister."

"And this is my geek brother, Luke."

"Joan! He's not a geek," Charity said.

Luke smiled and shook Travis' hand. Maybe, Charity liked him, too. Quit thinking of that, he thought. Get to class!

Helen handed him his schedule. Joan caught a glimpse of some of his classes. "I have some classes with you," she said.

"Really?" Travis asked.

"Yeah, I'll show you the way," she said, smiling.

"Thanks, Joan is it?" he asked.

She nodded.

Joan, Charity, and Luke put the boxes they were carrying down in Helen's office and then Joan walked with Travis to class. Charity and Luke lingered behind.

"I, um, better get to homeroom," he said.

She nodded. "I have to study for that stupid test we have in chemistry," she replied.

He nodded. "Well, I'll…see you…later. I guess," he said. He turned and practically ran away from her.
