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 12

Lena arrived at school five minutes before the bell rang. She saw her friends standing by their lockers waiting for their classes to start.

She walked up to them and smiled. "Hey guys! What's up?"

"Not much... I'm tired as all heck though! I didn't get much sleep last night. How about you?", Elle asked with a yawn.

"I got sleep... but...well ya see there's these dreams I've been havin', and their like...-", Lena stopped suddenly debating on whether she should tell her friends about her vivid dreams or not. "Well they're just complicated!", she smiled deciding now was not the time to explain. She then started to walk with her friends to their class.

Everence had a funny feeling that Lena was hiding something. She didn't know what it was but she was going to get to the bottom of it. For now she would just give Lena some time and space.

The girls were thirty minutes into their first hour class. They were laughing about something Elle had said when suddenly there was a knock at the door.

Mrs. Smith, their homeroom teacher smiled slightly and went to answer the door. The room was quiet for a moment awaiting to see who their guest was.

"Oh we've been expecting you!", Mrs. Smith greeted enthusiastically.

Lena turned around to look at Elle. Her face seemed to be asking the question for her mouth. 'Who was Mrs. Smith talking to?'

The girls both shrugged and watched as a very handsome young man walked in. Elle felt like her heart would jump right out of her chest. She was lovestruck! He had the bluest eyes she had ever seen... well next to Lena's anyway. She felt as if she could run her fingers through his cute blond curly hair forever. She knew she had to talk to him and fast.

"Class this is our new student Issac Mayolaus! He's traveled all the way here with his family from New York.", Mrs. Smith said proudly as if she were talking about her own child.

"Let's find you a seat shall we. Um... oh there's a seat right next to Miss Gabriella", she said pointing to an empty seat next to Elle.

Elle couldn't believe her luck. She felt her heart pump faster as he smiled and took his seat right next to her. Isaac smiled at her and took a curl out of his face.

"You must be Gabriella. It's nice to meet you", he said getting out a pencil and a pad of paper.

'I'm going to faint!', Elle thought to herself wildly.

Lena smiled a bit at her friends new interest. He was not a bad looking guy and in a way he seemed a bit smooth and sophisticated. 'Must be the way everyone is in New York', Lena thought to herself. 'Please God, don't let her faint! I don't think I have the strength today to pick her back up!', she smiled with amusement.

She turned around quickly to look at her friends condition, and by the looks of her she was gonna' fall hard!

Isaac smiled as Elle stared deeply at him. She was really cute. He turned his attention away for a moment to gaze at the girl sitting in front of her. He was taken aback for a moment by her beauty. He had never seen anyone like her before. Her look was pure exotic. The dark hair, the mesmerizing blue eyes, the high cheek bones, they all somehow seemed to mesh so well together.

Elle made a slight coughing sound to try to get his attention back on her. She loved her best friend and all but she wanted this guy more than anything.

Isaac turned his attention back to Elle, she was adorable. Her golden hair seemed to catch the sun light at every angle, her bright green eyes seemed to be somehow asking him a question, and when she smiled at him her nose crinkled up.

He was only there for about ten minutes and already enjoying it. He was about to ask the dark haired beauty her name but was ruddily interrupted by the ringing of the bell. Everyone in the room started to leave, he sighed deeply and decided to go to his next class.

"WOW! Did you see that guy?", Elleexcitedly askedLena.

"Of coarse I did! He only sat right next to us Elle!", Lena said laughing at her friends excitement.

"Well yeah, but... Lena you know what I mean!", Elle spat out quickly trying to catch her breath.

"I get what you're saying Elle! I'm just teasing you... now calm down before you have a heart attack or something!", Lena replied jokingly fanning her friend down as they made their way to their next class.
