"That's it, I'm going to settle it between Adam and me now!" Grace looked at Joan, shocked by her new willing force to right her wrongs. Grace then looked behind her and saw that Joan was staring at Rove, who was avidly critiquing a self-portrait on display with Faith.
"Girardi, you can't do something just over a jealousy impulse."
Joan slammed her locker.
"I am NOT jealous and it's NOT on impulse."
Grace rolled her eyes and closed her locker as well.
"Whatever you say Girardi, whatever you say."
As Grace and Joan walked toward AP Physics, Joan noticed a large yellow flyer pinned on the school billboard. "Oh look Grace, we're having another dance. I wouldn't think they'd have one after the Ramsey incident." Grace saw the evil look Joan was giving her.
"NO WAY are you getting me in a dress Girardi. ESPECIALLY when your BROTHER will see it."
Joan shrugged smugly.
"Oh I think I can convince you to do it... somehow."
I don't like what you're thinking Girardi... I don't like it at all.

Adam took his seat beside Joan in AP Physics, where Joan and Grace were avidly talking about something.
"Hey Jane, Grace."
Jane smiled warmly at him for the first time since she'd be in the hospital.
Grace just replied simply with, "Hey Rove."
The brief glimmer of hope, which kept Adam believing that Joan would come back to him, shattered when Faith walked into the room.
"Hey Grace, Joan, Adam."
Grace greeted Faith happily as did Adam, but Joan could merely reply with a strained hello through clenched teeth.
"Okay class, I want you to partner up and each take a set of flashcards. Each flashcard has a question in the front and an answer in the back. You will test each other in preparation for your test on Wednesday."
Just as Joan was about to turn around and ask Adam if he wanted to be her partner, he walked over to Faith and pulled up a chair to sit beside her.
Grace then proceeded to walk over to Luke, who was a plus for her, him being her boyfriend and a genius as well. Joan was left alone until a mysterious boy walked through the door.
He handed the teacher a note and looked at the class, his eyes meeting Joan's.
"Attention class, it seems that we have a new student as well. His name is Riley Montgomery. Now who doesn't have a partner? Ah yes, Ms. Girardi, you will work with Mr. Montgomery."
Riley was a towering 6-foot boy with brown spiked hair. He had deep gray eyes that seemed to penetrate into Joan's soul.
"Hi, I'm Joan."
God he's cute.
Riley smiled a comforting smile at Joan and put down his bag and books.
"Sorry you had to get stuck with the new kid."
"It's okay I don't mind."
Joan and Riley began the flashcards right away, and to Joan's surprise, Riley was very good. His old school must've taught him well.
Joan laughed as Riley made a comment about Physics but little did she know, she was being watched by-

[A/N:]I love cliffhangers don't you? Okay... well I'll be back with the next chapter as soon as I help my sister plan my niece's first birthday party. I hope this keeps you in suspence for as long as possible. Oh and REVIEWS ARE APPRECIATED!
