A/N – Ok I'll try to make my chapter longer ;) Aha you though I ditched the story didn't you?! Hehe now in mid-Feb I finished y chapter, but I realized that being me and have little time for fic writing, I should write like 3 chapters during March break, when I would actually have time. So here's the first, I've started the second one and have update two older chapters.

Alanna stood in front of her locker; shocked as she felt Jon breath against her neck.

"Jon," she finally whispered.

"Mhh?" Jon muttered. He realized he loved having her in his arms, knowing she was there.

"Why," she softly asked. She knew why but she wanted to be sure.

"For the past week, for going out with Josiane. She's a pain really."

Alanna gave a weak smile. Hearing Jon, having him behind her, she was finally happy. Alanna was beginning to turn around to face Jon when the bell sounded.

"Damn," Alanna softly said with a smile.

"Don't worry, we can talk later," Jon replied, then gently tilting up her head and kissing her briefly before he hurried to his locker to retrieve his books. A few people stared at them but neither of them cared. Alanna closed her locked and made her way down the crowed hall to her class.

Gary was right...

Jon dashed into his classroom, slightly out of breath, evidently was rushing not to be late.

"Hey Jon," Gary said from his desk at next to the door. Jon sat in the seat behind his while Gary turned around to face him. "So how's Alanna?" Jon gave him a look saying "since when did you care." Fortunately for Jon, he didn't need to give an explanation as the speaker began to sound with the morning announcements.

After reminders of upcoming sports events, special dates and other school issues Jon's teacher began with his lesson not leaving Gary anytime to chat, but now to try and stay awake for the whole period.

Lunch finally came, Alanna and Jon sat by themselves, spending some time to apologize and make up the lost time which felt like an eternity. Raoul and Gary both sat at a table a few away from them, poking fun at the two at them, though they both were happy that their friends were together. Alanna laid her head on Jon's shoulder; she missed him, even though he was never really "gone."

At the other end of the cafeteria Josiane and Delia were deep into conversation.

"Are you serious...," Delia began when she spotted Jon and Alanna. "Oh my gosh. No way." Not fully understanding Delia, Josiane turned around until she finally saw the two. She stared at them for a short while, speechless.

"That little..."Josiane began

"You're too good for him" Delia insured her.

"Still, that kid is trouble for us." Josiane muttered, hiding her anger. "You have classes with her, try and do something to her."

"I'll try"

Alanna sat in English class, head rested against her hand. Her teacher had started explaining the most recent assignment.

"This assignment will be a bit different. You shall read the given selection and then, with a partner,..." the teacher began, but was interrupted by a cheer from students, then by a hum of students asking one another if they would be partners, "Which I have already chosen." The class let out a groan of disappointment. "You shall both state your opinions on it and both answer questions on from what you got from the story such as meaning, lessons, excreta. Then together you shall write a 2-3 page report on it." The teacher continued into details which Alanna vaguely heard.

"As long as I'm NOT with Delia, this won't be too bad," Alanna though as the teacher began calling out the partners. He went through the whole class until Alanna realized both Delia's and her name had not been called.

"And the last two people are Alanna and Delia," the teacher said, before being drowned out by the sound of moving chairs and chatter between partners. Alanna glanced over at Delia. She made no obvious sign of getting out of her seat so Alanna dragged her chair to Delia's desk.

"So, do you want to do, like read the story now..."Alanna began.

"OK, listen, if you want to pass you can do all the work, 'cause I really don't care bout this." Delia said, then taking out a mirror and fixed up her hair. Alanna sat their, unsure of how to reply. Josiane was Delia's friends and Josiane wasn't Alanna's best buddy.
