Disclaimer: I don't own any characters except for Myranda and Lillian, so BACK OFF!! Sorry it's kind of early for me.

A/N: Another story with fairly short chapters means I can update more often. YAY!! Of course, they do get longer. YAY!! Anywhosies, on with the show.

Chapter 2: At First Sight

"Hi. We're the Ducks."

The auditorium erupted into laughter. I looked around the room, then up at the stage, grinning form ear to ear. Then, I turned to Myranda.

"This is gonna be too easy!"

We both stood up and started for our lockers.

"AAAH!!" I said, and pretended to crash into something.

"Ohmigosh, stop, Lil!" Myranda erupted into giggles. "Who do you think did it?"

"Probably Goldie." I puffed my cheeks out and crossed my eyes.

Myranda laughed again as we got our stuff for our first class.

"Oh, here they come," Myranda said, looking down the hall.

"I'm ready." I flipped my short hair out of my eyes and leaned against my locker. I popped a piece of gum in my mouth and blew a bubble. "You ready?"

"Yep." Myranda followed my lead as I pushed off my locker and walked slowly through the crowds toward the J.V. team.

I tried to find Adam in the group. I found him rather quickly and stared at him, trying to make eye contact.

Finally, I thought as he looked up. I blew a bubble as our eyes locked. I looked him up and down, then turned my head back to Myranda.

Once we were around the corner and out of earshot, she said, "Is he still looking?"

I peered around the corner, subtly. Adam was standing in the middle of the hallway, getting pushed around by other students heading to class. He was staring at the corner we had just gone around. "yep, he's still looking."

I saw him say the word "Whoa."

I looked back at Myranda. Then I busted out laughing. "He's hooked."

"Now you just have to reel him in, Lilly." We gave each other a high five.

"Reel who in?"

Myranda and I whirled around. There stood my brothers (Rickie and Chris) and Rick's friends, Scooter and Cole.

About time I had some attention, bonehead, I thought. "Hey, big brothers!" I said instead, giving all four guys big hugs. "What's up?"

"You didn't answer my question, Lilly." Rick was getting a little annoyed and impatient.

"Yeah. And why are you dressed like that?" Chris, my twin brother, asked, gesturing to my short, flouncy skirt, tank top, and preppy sweater draped over my shoulders.

"I just felt like looking pretty." I pouted. "Do I, Scooter?"

"You always so." Scooter grinned.

"That's all well and good but-" Rick started, but I raised my hand to silence him.

"Rickie, can we talk about this later?" Yeah, right. The dumbass will probably forget. I thought as I pointed to my shoes and continued. "These heels are killing my feet." I gave him a quick kiss on the cheek, waved good-bye to the guys, and walked into my first class.

"Whew, that was close!" I sank into a seat.

"Yeah," Myranda said, only half-paying attention.

I sighed. "What, Myranda?"

"Your twin is hot!"

"Okay, that's nice." I laughed at my best friend. Then I turned toward the loud voices behind me.

"Oh, no," I groaned, turning back fast.

"What?" Myranda whispered.

"Damay Anksbay." I whispered back.

"What?" Myranda asked again, now more confused than concerned.

"Adam Banks."

Myranda turned slightly, then faced forward again. "Crap!"

Ring

"Everyone take a seat!"

I looked up as someone passed my desk. Adam glanced down at me, then did a double take. He smiled, then went to sit next to Charlie. He said something to him, nodded, and pointed in our direction. Charlie turned around and smiled at us while Adam hit him.

Charlie threw his hands up as if to say "What?" and Adam shook his head in aggravation. Then he looked back at me. He smiled shyly and waved.

"This will be fun," I said through clenched teeth, somewhat annoyed, as I smiled and waved back.

A/N: It gets better later, I promise. My pig Latin's a little rusty, but I think I typed Adam Banks right. Chapter 3 will be posted ASAP. ~Nelli~
