Author's Note: Second chapter, does anyone know the name of Zero's mom?

Theresa Bondac left school that day with her best friends on each side – Adrianne and Samantha. Every year since they were six, the three girls always ended the first day of school with a movie at one of their houses.

This year was decided that it was going to be in Samantha's house. Adrianne's parents were at work and Theresa tried to stay as far away from her house as possible.

"Tee," Samantha gasped, grabbing her friends arm, "What happened to you!"

"Some kid bumped into me in the hallway," Theresa shrugged, she was used to getting bruised and hurt. "It's ok, the kid was cool. We talked a lot in class today and ended up being lab partners."

"What's her name," Adrianne asked, getting in on the conversation as they entered her house.

"His name is Hector." Samantha and Adrianne looked at each other quietly. "What? You know him?"

"Everyone knows him and his friends," Adrianne said. "They spent quite some time in juvie last year. I'm just saying, just be careful…"

"Are you serious," Theresa asked, "He looks so-so innocent though! Wow, I guess I need a new lab partner."

"Well let him down gently, he might not have been taught that he's not allowed to hit a girl," Sam mused.

"It's OK, Tee," Adrianne smiled, "On another note… we have a dance audition at the end of this month. That means practice, practice, practice."

"She sounds so gay, gay, gay," Samantha joked to Theresa. They both laughed as Adrianne glared at them.

Stanley and Zero brought the boys over to their neighborhood to exchange stories of their first days back.

"Stan, I'll be over you house in a second," Zero told him, "I just gotta put my stuff in my room." Stanley nodded in understanding as Zero ran to his house.

"Hey baby," Zero's mom smiled as she hugged him, "How was your day?"

"It was so cool mom," Zero beamed as he said 'mom'. He could say it over and over again. "Mom, did you know they have libraries in the school!" He moved over to their couch and put his schoolbag down.

"Do they," she asked dumbfounded. "Who would've thought?"

"Funny mom," he nodded, "Hilarious. I'm going to Stanley's house, bye! I love you!" And with that, he ran out of the house and over next door.

Author's Note: Short, I know. Next one will be longer and I'll try to update sooner.
