She's No You

Chapter 3

A/N: Okay guys, let me explain this here. In this chapter, I mention a place where it says 'With Bradin'. That's when Avery can't hear what Bradin's saying. It's almost like switching PointOfViews, but not exactly. You'll see. If you think it's confusing, send me contructive criticism on how to correct it and I'll be open to it! Thanks! Also, huge thanks to gpotter for reviewing! You were my only reviewer for the first part and I appreciate it! Thanks!

Disclaimer: Hey guys! I do not own Summerland or the cast, I just own the fictional characters, the story line and the title of the story, She's No You. I do not own the song, She's No You by Jesse McCartney. So...no stealing! Thanks guys!

I walked into the large classroom. I saw only a few kids in the classroom, not many considering the late bell had not rung yet. I sighed and looked around. I walked up to the teacher's desk. The woman had long dark hair and brown eyes. She looked younger. "Hi!" She smiled at me.

"Hi," I smiled a small smile and handed her my slip of paper. "I'm Avery Donovan." I said.

"Hi, Avery. I'm Mrs. Collper. A lot of the kids call me Mrs. C. Where are you from, Avery?" She asked me.

"Um, Ohio," I nodded softly.

"Wow, okay," she smiled. "Well, this is homeroom. You are in here every day for fifteen minutes, um, you can do pretty much anything in here if you follow the school rules. How long have you lived here in Playa Linda?" She asked me.

"Three days," I said softly and looked down at the tile floor. A sharp bell rang and made me jump. Mrs. Collper laughed lightly.

"That's just the bell. Three days...wow. You must be nervous," she winked. "Well, here's our bell schedule and here's your schedule back. Also, this is a map of the school. If you have any questions, please, feel free to ask me," she smiled. I nodded and went to find an empty seat. Kids were piling into the classroom. They all looked so calm and it was the first day of school for everyone. Even if we lived in Ohio still, I'd be freaked about the first day. Every year I always was. I looked up and saw Bradin. He was talking with some other boy.

With Bradin

"Whoa, man, did you see that girl?" Lucas laughed lightly and looked over at Avery.

"Yeah, I had the pleasure of meeting her this morning," Bradin laughed sarcastically and shook his head. "Her name's Avery Donovan. She's not too friendly. She's from Ohio, or something," Bradin shrugged and looked back over at the girl. Something about her...her eyes were intriguing and her long hair amazed him. She was different than the other girls. Bradin knew there was good in her...he just didn't know how to get to her.

"She's not like the other girls around here," Lucas laughed. "She's weird." He shook his head and laughed.

"Just...different," Bradin sighed and kept his eyes on her. "There's something about her. I just...I can't put my finger on it." He sighed once more and looked at her. His trance was broken when the bell rang. "I've got Chem with her first block." Bradin sighed as he stood up and walked towards the door with his books.

I gathered my books that Mrs. Collper had given me and headed to the door. I almost ran into Bradin on the way.

"After you," he motioned with one arm for me to go through the door first. I cleared my throat and sighed as I walked out the door. I looked down at my map and saw that I had to head to the right...at least...I think it was the right. "How about we try and find it together? I mean, it's no use for us both to be lost." Bradin shrugged and walked up next to me.

I sighed and shrugged as well. "Okay." I shrugged it off. "Well, I think we go to the right." I said and pointed down the hall.

"I was under the impression that it was to the left," Bradin pointed in the other direction.

"What are you looking for?" the boy that Bradin had been talking with earlier walked up and asked.

"Chemistry," Bradin said and looked at him. "Oh, Lucas, this is Avery. Avery, Lucas," he introduced quickly. I nodded in his direction and I saw as he tried to hold in a laugh. I rolled my eyes. What a jerk?

"It's straight," he pointed down the hall. "You were both wrong." He said. I sighed and walked down the hall away from them. I really didn't want to talk to them or be around them. Not at all.
