Disclaimer: I do not own Veronica Mars or any of the Characters.

My first day to school and I'm already forced to take the bus. Seems daddy's too busy setting up his office. And it's not like I know anyone here yet. So what choice did I have? It's not like I was going to walk to school. Never having to take the bus before, I quickly learned that it was mostly freshmen, sophomores, and anyone who didn't drive to school. This doesn't help out me one bit.

Speaking of Neptune High, yea let me just tell you that's it's full of rich people. I mean you can just tell by seeing the cars in the parking lot. Not to mention the school it self is so big. You can tell that it's filled with all the pretty people too. I mean in Oregon it's the same way, but not everyone is rich. I would say my family and Wallace were the only exception.

Ok I'll admit it, I got lost. My first day here and I got lost. It's so embarrassing. There I was staring at the front of the building, and the bell rings. As everyone's going where they needed to go, I ended up walking through the front doors and not knowing where I was. So I start looking in the doorways hoping that one of them soon would be the Administrator's Office. But of course I was trying to look natural. Like I knew what I was doing. And I was trying my hardest not to look as sad as I felt. Even though it's totally obvious that I'm the new kid in town, I wanted to look like I was somewhat happy to be there. I didn't want to scare anyone away my first day. In other words, I wanted to look normal.

So when the final bell rang and everyone was in class, I finally found the Administrator's Office which is located on the OTHER side of campus. When I get there, everyone's acting all busy, not bothering to notice me. Finally I made it known that I was there. When they finally handed me my schedule with my locker number and combination located on it, I was more than 10 minutes late for class. They told me to get a move on it if I didn't want detention. Figures no one wants to help me. I tried asking where my class was, but they went back to acting busy. Fine, whatever I can totally handle this. At least I hoped I could handle it. But to be honest, I was feeling so overwhelmed. I felt way over my head.

As I'm looking down at my class schedule and walking down the hallway, I bumped into something solid and fell to the ground.

"Oof!" I can't help letting out in surprise. When I look up, I can't help feeling embarrassed by how un-lady like that sounded. Because I was looking up into the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen on a male species before. 'Ok stop there because you're starting to sound nerdy. It's not like you've never dated before. But it's not like they all look like Greek Gods either. Quick stop drooling before he notices.'

"Here let me help you up." He leans forward and grabs my hand. He pulls me up like I weigh nothing. Even though I am 5'2", I would like to think I weighed more then a paper bag. Normally I would get defensive, but instead I couldn't help wanting to lay on the charm. I put on my best smile. But my smile started to slip. 'I know you're depressed, but he doesn't need to know that. Keep the smile on. Remember you're trying to appear like a normal first day at school kid. Not lost and sad.'

"Are you new here?" That's when I realized I haven't even said anything to him yet. 'Way to go. Say something!'

"Yea I just transferred from Oregon." I say as he turns around and picks up my schedule. 'Wow and he has a great ass!' When he turns around and hands the paper to me, he gives me a strange look. 'Oh crap I think I just got caught. Don't act embarrassed. Act like you meant to get caught.'

"By the way my name is Logan Echolls." He extends his hand out to me and I shake it. "Veronica Mars." 'Not to shabby in the weight department either. Nice.'

"Veronica Mars?" he says thoughtfully. I can't help giving him a weird look. "Yup that's my name." 'Wait a minute. Logan Echolls, that sounds familiar too. "Do I know you?" I couldn't help asking.

He snaps his fingers. "You're the chick that's being stalked by the media. You're the one who solved that murder."

I try not to roll my eyes. Figures that's why he acted like that. Am I never going to get away from all this attention? Can't I grieve like normal people? 'Don't get mad, he's just stating the obvious. I'm sure he understands how you feel.' "Yea that's me. Listen I need to find my class. I'm already late. Do you know where," I look down at my schedule…"room 105 is?"

"Yea that's right at the end of this hallway. It's the last door on the right. It was nice meeting you Veronica." With that said he continues on to his class.

'Ok Veronica it's time to stop staring. You're already late as it is.' I couldn't help watching him shake what his momma gave him as he walked away. He had to know that I was staring. Maybe it was a good idea to move to Neptune. They certainly breed the men right here.

I walk down to the end of the hallway and stop in front of Room 105. I fluff my hair and smooth my knee length denim skirt out, and straighten my shirt out. I knock on the door, and taking a deep breath, walk right in.

The teacher was right in the middle of a lecture, and you could tell that he did not like being interrupted.

"Yes? What can I do for you?" The teacher asks, but you can tell that he's putting on an act. 'Doesn't help that everyone is staring at me.'

I try putting on my happy smile again. "Hi my names Veronica Mars and I just transferred here. Are you Mr." I look down at my list again. "Mastriani?" I look up in time to see him smirk.

"Yes I am. Ms. Mars is it?" I nod my head yes. "Welcome to Neptune, but if you are going to continue being in this class I expect you to be on time. Class started…" He looks up at the clock. "Almost 20 minutes ago. You have already missed the first half of the class. Tardiness will not be tolerated. Please take a seat, and you can look off of someone else's book for now. See me after class." With that said he goes back to lecturing.

I look around for an empty chair already feeling my cheeks burning from embarrassment. 'It's natural for teachers to act this way. Its part of their job.' There's only one seat available, and it's toward the back. I make my way over and sit down. I look around to see if anyone would share there book, but their all staring at me. They start whispering to each other, and I hear someone say that I'm sitting in Lilly's seat. Well obviously Lilly isn't here right now, other wise I wouldn't have sat there. But seeing how it was the only seat available, I had no other choice. 'Great I wonder where I'm going to sit tomorrow when Lilly comes back.'
