"So what got you interested in science" asked Z. It was Saturday and Abby was attending her first science club meeting.

"My parents" she answered "my dad was a vet and my mom is a doctor, I grew up around science. It was either love it or learn to live with it" she finished.

"So then you know a lot of medical stuff?" ask Lucas skeptically, Abby sighed "yes, go ahead ask anything" she said, he was testing her again, he had been for the last week. It was like anything she said he had to test to make sure she was who she said she was.

"Okay" he said getting up everyone groaned.

"Come on Lucas" said Josie "you've been doing this all week, she's not who you think she is!" Abby looked down at the floor she knew that Lucas thought she was still a spy for Victor who ever that was. Lucas ignored her and got a medical encyclopedia

"What is an endartactomy" he said slowly as he pronounced it.

"I think you mean an endarterectomy" said Abby crossing her arms across her chest, she was getting annoyed "It's a surgical procedure where carbon dioxide is forced through hardened arteries to make a hole through fatty blockage" she finished taking a breath.

"Wow" said Z looking over Lucas shoulder "that's right." They were all looking at her with wide eyes. She felt her checks turning red. "Any other questions?" she asked looking at Lucas. He didn't answer he just put the book away. They continued with science class, Lucas kept giving her weird glances, she felt like knocking him one good, she took a deep breath maybe he just takes a long time to warm up to new people.

"Hey Abby" said Josie it was later in the afternoon and Abby was outside at a picnic table reading a letter from her grandmother. She looked up and saw Josie wasn't alone Corrine and Marshall were with her.

"Why weren't you at lunch?" asked Corrine.

"I um wasn't hungry" said Abby she had always been a terrible liar.

"It was because of Lucas, right" said Josie Abby could see she was upset with him.

"No it was, I just didn't, yeah" she said.

"I'm sorry about him" said Marshall "Lucas can be - " "I can be what" said Lucas angrily coming up behind them. Abby turned she had reached the end of her fuse.

"You can be a stubborn jerk" she said jumping up "ever since I've gotten her you keep testing me, I'm not a spy for Victor whoever he or it is" Lucas looked shocked not just from the fact that she was ranting at him but the fact she knew about Victor "yeah I've heard you talk about it, I'm not deaf! So just stop it and leave me alone, it's hard enough starting here and being away from my family without people like you making it worse!" she could see the sympathy in Lucas face

"Abby" he said gently "I'm sor-" "forget it" she coldly she feel tears stinging at the back of her eyes, she grabbed her books and letter and ran off, she didn't stop even after she bumped into Madison she didn't hear or care what she called her. She reached her room and slammed the door shut and threw her books against the wall and collapsed onto her bed crying. She hated Lucas and she hated this place she wanted to go home.

"Nice going Lucas" said Josie angrily as watched Abby run off.

"What!" he said" she could have been a spy" he said Josie noticed that he didn't say she could still be a spy, it was at least a start.

"You know she's right though, Lucas" said Corrine "she is staring a new school without any friends or family and you've been rude to her all week" she finished.

"If it were me, I would have gone off like that on you days ago and probably hit you to" said Josie standing up "come on Corrine lets go check on her" they left.

"You got anything to add" he asked turning to Marshall "nope" said Marshall "good" said Lucas with a relieved sigh.

"Except for I think Abby's not a spy. And we probably should not tell her about the wormhole" he said quietly "and I try to work things out with Abby for your sake, she really is a nice person."

"Yeah, I know" said Lucas "do you think she'll hate me forever?" he asked. "Nope like I said she's a nice person" said Marshall standing up "I think it might take some time for Josie to forgive you though." Lucas put his head in his hands and groaned.

After about a minute of crying Abby stopped "why am I crying, who cares what Lucas thinks" she said to herself. She gathered her books she thrown, she heard a knock at the door before she could answer Josie came in.

"I'm sorry about Lucas, are you okay" Josie started but stopped when she noticed Abby laughing.

"What?" Josie said "you never knock do you?" Abby asked after she calmed down.

"Nope" said Corrine coming in.

"Sorry" said Josie.

"It's okay, and I'm okay I just don't why Lucas dose not trust me and I am not a spy for Victor who ever that is, I don't even know a Victor!" she finished.

"Victor is Vaughn's dad" said Josie "he does not really like us, especially me. So Lucas is a little over protective" "and paranoid" added Corrine.

"He's your boyfriend right?" she asked Josie.

"No!" Josie answered very quickly. "No he likes Josie and so does Vaughn, but Josie can't decide between them" said Corrine.

"I would sleep with one eye open tonight Corrine" said Josie angrily.

"What she would have found out eventually, I'm just saving her some time" said Corrine with a shrug.

"Don't worry I won't tell anyone"said Abby with a laugh. Just then there was a knock at the door, they all turned and saw Lucas.

"Um Hi" he said Abby didn't answer "can I talk to you for a second?"

"Fine" she said a little too coldly.

"Well I have to study anyway, come on Josie you can help."

"You know Corrine it's obvious you're making an excuse to leave, almost as obvious as your crush on-" "come on" she said pushing Josie out of the room.

"Listen Abby" said Lucas "I'm sorry I've been such a jerk, and accusing you of being a spy for Victor he's just a bad guy, and I'm willing to try to be friends if you are?" he said looking at her.

"Sounds good to me, and don't worry I already know" said Abby.

"You do!" he said his voice becoming higher.

"Yeah Josie told me that Victor was Vaughn's father and that really didn't like you guys and how you could be paranoid and over protective" she said giving him a curious look.

"Yeah, that's right" said Lucas looking relieved "were all meeting know to hang out, want to come?"

"Sure" she said with a smile as she followed him, shutting the door behind her, she had a feeling that something else was going on, but didn't question anyone, maybe they would tell her, maybe they wouldn't but she didn't care, because she now felt like she belonged.
