A/N: Okay, I hope you like this chapter. Thanks to landi 104 for her help. All the russian word in this and later chapters comes from the link in my bio. and the ch. I posted on SD-1 is a bit diffrent since I didn't have to take the russian words out.
Disclaimer: All belongs to J.J Abrams, ABC, bad robot, etc. You know the drill.
Chapter.2 :
Julian had been reading the same two words over and over again for the last several minutes, always distracted by Sydney. First when James went to get the book and she followed, then when they came back and now she was standing by the check-out counter waiting for James to check it out.
When she got the book, and was heading for the library's doors, she said good-bye in russian. He looks up from his book, which he had intended to stare at until she was gone since there wasn't a chance in hell he'd be able to read, kinda shocked.
So, yeah her mom's russian but he didn't think she'd talk russian. She seemed so...so...so 'American.'(please, don't be offended.) But before he could say anything back, she was gone.
"Yeah, this day is going to be hell. I can feel it now." He said to himself, as he shoved the book in his bag and stood up to actually go to class. "See you later, James." He told the librarian, who was giving the computer in front of him an evil eye.
"All right, take care, Julian." He said, as Julian walked out the library doors.
"Michael (in russian) Wait up!!! Hi." Syd told Michael Vaughn, her boyfriend for a year.
"Huh? What did you say first? You know, I hate it when you don't use English." He told her, missing all together the hurt in her eyes. She really wanted to say And I hate when you look so fucking clueless!! She couldn't say that, she was all sunshine and happiness.
"I just said Michael. How did you do on English lit. test?" She asked him, as they went towards their next class. They had just 3 classes together on Thursdays.
"Okay. Got a D-plus." He told her, as they entered the classroom and sat down up-front. Well, only because Sydney liked it. Michael would love to sit in the back with his friends, and just talk. He so hated history, but it was Sydney's favorite.
Behind her sat Julian with Adam and Jacinthe. He had known her since he moved here three years ago, she actually had the middle name Marceline too but everybody that knew her well enough called her Jaci, They had just started to call her that to shorten her name but then they found out it meant 'moon' in tupi, something to do with native American culture.
She moved from France when she was 10. She was a natural blonde, had sultry gray eyes and was a few inches higher than Julian. Adam was red-haired, with willow green eyes and the same height as Julian.
When he noticed Syd had arrived, he wrote on a piece of paper and he was just thinking about how he could get it to her, when she dropped her notebook. He picked, and slipped the note in before putting it back on her table.
When she opened it, a note fell out. Not did only she notice but, Michael picked up the note. Not what Julian had planned, but wouldn't do any major harm.
"What's this, Syd?" Michael asked Syd, who looked at it. She smiled, and turned around to smile at Julian.
It looked like Adam and Jaci's eyes were going to pop out of their heads. Before they could ask him why the hell Sydney Bristow was full-fledged smiling at him or Michael could once again ask what the hell that note was about, the teacher walked in.
On Sydney's other side was sitting her best friend, Francie Calfo. She had stopped talking about how her little sister, Allison was driving her insane and saw what transpired between the two teens. But she saw that her eyes weren't like 'fake' happy, but there was warmth in them. What Francie had noticed had been lacking in Sydney's smiles pointed towards her boyfriend lately. But she understood, the guy was an ass if you knew him.
When the class was over Sydney gave him the note back, Danny Hecht, another of Julian's friends snatched the note from him and looked at it. He just looked at the note, and then back at Julian.
"What the hell did you write here that so that she smiled for you? I don't understand a thing." Danny told him, as he gave Julian back the note.
"Just 'Good-Bye' in russian." He just tells them, as he walked towards his locker.
"Why did you write that?" Jaci asked him, as she had found it okay that he seemed to be interested in Sydney because what male student in this school wasn't but now she was showing interest in her friend?
Jaci liked him, and Sydney already had someone else. She should leave Julian alone. Jaci sulked, at that thought. She dumped junk into her locker, and then she put some other books in her bag.
Adam saw how Jaci had looked at Sydney when she smiled at Julia in class and how she seemed to be in a sulking kinda mood right now. They had know each other since they had been ten, Julian had met him through Jaci.
It seemed Julian was the only one who dared to try and show his interest in the person he liked. Both Jaci and Adam were to afraid to ruin their friendship with each other to say their mind.

A/N: I hope you liked this chapter. Sorry if it was way too 'Buffy the vamp slayer'. But I just wanted to write a uncomplicated fic.
So, please review and tell me what you think. It makes me happy and write-y.
