Warning: This story takes place in our time period and in ancient Greece... It's a bit confusing but you'll soon see what I mean. I've made it pretty obvious who the characters are but if you get stuck on one that you can't figure out don't be afraid to ask. There is also no subtext. This is my first Xena fic so please let me know what you think.

CHAPTER 3

Lena pulled into the school parking lot and turned off her jeep. The girls then got off and walked up the stairs to the school.

"Good morning ladies", said their high school principal Mr. Cronos.

"Morning Charlie", Lena whispered.

"What was that Ms.Prince?", Mr. Cronos turned and asked.

"Oh nothing Sir, I was just looking at that motorcycle over there and just couldn't help but say whata' Harley!", Lena smiled sweetly.

Elle and Evie laughed and Mr. Cronos walked into his office.

"You are such a goofball!", Elle laughed.

"Hey beautiful", a sweet, yet sly voice said coming from behind Lena.

"Aaron how many times do I have to tell you about those names! How would you like it if I called you... 'Love kitten' in front of the football team?", Lena asked raising her eyebrow.

"Oh... I'd love it!", Aaron replied smiling seductively.

"Well I wouldn't! There will never be a chance for us again... You know that... I can't go back to that life again", Lena said looking down regretfully.

Aaron looked at her a little hurt, but quickly hid it hoping no one would think of him as a wimp. After all he was a stud and a bad boy, no woman could resist that!... except for Lena. But at one time he had her, and he blew it... But he could never be what she wanted him to be, so why was he still after her? 'I got a thing for her', he thought to himself.

"Old habits die hard", he said forgetting he was around people.

"What?", they all asked him.

"Oh... nothing, never mind", Aaron replied a little embarrassed.

"Hey Elle!", said a voice behind Aaron.

Elle rolled her eyes, "Hi Jax", she said boringly.

Jax clumsily walked over to Elle with a big toothy grin. He was cute, but his dopiness didn't really allow people to see that.

"So what are you doing later?", Jax asked nervously.

"Something without you", Elle replied.

"Oh good because I was um thinking-", Jax stopped at her reply. "Oh I see. Hey no big deal, there's always some other time", Jax answered sadly.

The first bell rang indicating that homeroom was about to begin. Aaron and Jax went one way while Lena, Elle, and Evie went another.

"Why are you so hard on the guy?", Lena asked remembering the look on Jax's face.

"I should ask you the same thing!", Elle retorted.

"What are you talking about? I'm not mean to Jax and when I am he deserves it!", Lena smirked.

"I'm not talking about Jax. Lena, I'm talking about Aaron", Elle looked at her friend.

"I'm mean to him because he deserves it. You know why I don't like him! He was and will always be bad for me. You of all people should know that!... and plus Mother doesn't like him one bit", Lena said with a far away look.

"Yeah I know... but it seems like he's changed... a little", replied Elle watching as people passed by. Lena looked at her friend strangely.

"Okay, okay sorry!",Elle let up sheepishly.

Lena shook her head in satisfaction knowing that she'd made her point.

Elle looked at her friend and smiled. "Whatever!", she saidrolling her eyes.

"What was that Ms. Bard?", Lena mocked.

"Oh I was saying that we BETTER get to class", Elle smirked.

"That's what I thought you said", Lena smiled and both girls laughed all the way to class.
