Craig carried his heavy backpack on his shoulders to his locker. It felt like it weighed a ton. Why did they have to have so much stuff for school? It was killing his shoulders, even his back. Just going up the stairs with it became a big job. He was happy when he finally seen his locker. He slowly put his bag in front of him on the ground, as he put in his combination for his locker.

Kelsie walked down the hall towards her locker thinking of her boyfriend back home. She spotted Craig trying to open up his locker. He was in a tight black shirt, and jeans. It seemed like he had styled his hair, making a little less puffy.

Dam he looked hot!!! No, she couldn't think that way, she had Chris back home.

When he finally opened it, he unloaded his stuff into it onto the shelf. As he looked to his right, he saw Kelsie in a pair of hip hugger jeans and a grey and yellow stripe tube top, and her hair up in a ponytail with her bangs bunched forward at the front. She was at her locker on her knees doing the same thing as him.

Once he was finished, he went over to her, leaning on the locker next to hers, "Hey Kelsie, how are you today?"

Kelsie looked up and smiled, "I'm doing good Craig. "

"So what's your schedule like?"

She stood up, and closed her locker, "Well it seems like I have all my hard subjects this semester."

"What do you have?"

"English, math, biology and social studies."

"Sounds like a challenging semester, almost like mine except I don't have English. What block is your math and biology in?"

"Math's in D block and Biology is in B."

"Well it looks like we have those together, so you'll have a friendly face," she blushed at that comment.

"Yeah, I did meet these two guys in my English class though, they seem nice."

"Did it happen to be by the name of Jimmy and Spinner?" knowing that he was right.

Surprised that he was right, "Yeah, how did you know?"

"They told me at band practice last night."

"You were talking about me?" she asked, a little curious to what they had said.

"Nothing bad of course," she sweetly said.

The morning bell went, and some kids began to rush to their lockers others took their time.

"Why don't you meet me here after first block and we'll walk to our class together," Craig suggested.

"Okay, I'd like that," she said pulling her hair behind her ear as she smiled at him.

Biology Class

Craig and Kelsie sat on stools in front of their table in the science lab. They decided that they would be partners for the class.

"So how was English?" Craig asked looking at her instead at the front where the teacher was talking non-stop.

"Boring, she just went over things that I learned last year. I just doodle in my book. How was your class?"

"Good, thank God that this year is all about our history without the geography."

"Ms. Fitzgerald & Mr. Manning quit your chatting, now isn't the time for it. You're going to need to know what we're doing this year," Mrs. Siemplekemp said with a stern voice.

"Sorry," they both said.

Instead of them talking, they sent notes to each other. Why start listening to the rest of it if they hadn't heard the first part.

"How would you like to eat lunch with me and my friends in the cafeteria today?" Craig wrote.

"I would love to! Come with me to my locker then after class."

"Okay."

"So what's your email ."

"Thanks!!!"

"No Problem." She put a couple of happy faces beside it.

"Would you next week like to come and listen to some of my bands music?"

"Sure, beats staying at home with nothing to do."

"Okay then it's settled."

The Lunch bell rang, and it didn't take long for the students to exit the classroom, leaving Craig and Kelsie last out. They were taking their time they weren't in any rush.

Cafeteria

Craig and Kelsie walked over to the table the gang was sitting at. "Hey you guys, I would like you to meet Kelsie."

"Hey," they all said.

"Kelsie this is Marco sitting beside me, his boyfriend Dylan beside him. Then there's Hazel, and Terri. You know Jimmy, and that's his girlfriend Ashley, and Spinner and his girlfriend Paige."

"So where are you from?" Paige asked a little curious since she had to know stuff about everyone.

"I'm from a town called Sechelt, a little place on the coast of British Columbia. My dad was transferred so we had to move."

"Well you're welcome to hang out with us. We would love to get to know you," Paige said.

"Thanks, yesterday I was all worried about finding friends, but now I guess I really shouldn't have worried."

"Nah, some of us have been the new kids in school so we know how it's like," Marco replied.

They all sat in the cafeteria the whole lunch hour getting to know their new friend. Listening to this was making Craig just fell deeper for her. Was he suppose to fall so fast like this? Was it normal?
