After the bell rang and everyone filed out of class, I make my way to the front of the room.

"I won't take long because I don't want you to be late for you're next class. But here is you're book, and here is the work you will need to do in order to keep up. There is a test tomorrow, and I expect you to be ready for it. Are there any questions?"

'Yea how about giving me a break? I've only been here for an hour and already everyone is giving me a hard time.' I shake my head no.

"Great you may go now."

'Looks like I won't be finding out where my locker is just yet. I still have to figure out where my next class is while trying not to be late.'

So that's basically how my day started. Sucks I know. The bell for lunch rang, and I was finally able to find my locker and unload all the books and homework I had acquired. After the third try to open my locker and not succeeding, I give the locker a nice swift kick hoping that would work. Instead it just caused my toes to hurt and more cursing to come out of my mouth as I hop around on one foot trying not to drop everything.

Someone walks up behind me and offers to help. He grabs my books before I could object. I finally look up at his face and notice right away his beautiful blue eyes. 'Nice smile too.'

"Are you ok?" Then he laughs. "I don't think kicking you're locker is the solution to opening it. I think you should be able to open it now that I have you're books." He's still smiling at me. 'Must have paid big bucks for perfect teeth like those.' I smile back. "Thanks." I spin the lock again, and miraculously it opens. "Ha!" I couldn't help letting out a cheer of triumph. The guy next to me laughs again as I turn to him and take my books back. "By the way my name is Duncan. Duncan Kane."

After I stuff my books into my locker-but keeping my schedule handy- I turn back to Duncan. "Veronica Mars."

"Would you like to join me for lunch Veronica Mars?" He asks me. I give my first genuine smile of the day. 'Looks like I may have found my first friend. And I don't have to worry about standing around looking for somewhere to eat. "That would be great Duncan Kane. Thanks."

We walk outside to the lunch tables. 'Wow I can't believe they can eat lunch outside all year long. Must be nice.' He leads me over to a table where everyone is eating pizza. 'Looks like they ordered out.' Right away I notice the guy with the nice ass. I smile my second genuine smile of the day as he turns to me and recognition dawns in his eyes. "Hey DK I see you've already found the new girl. Why don't you join us?" He moves his stuff off of the chair next to him and pats it. I casually sit down next to him, and Duncan sits on the other side of me. "Logan right?" He smiles. "You remembered. Who could resist my charm?" I laughed out loud taken by surprise. "My aren't we full of ourselves."

"What can I say, it's the Echolls charm. You want some pizza?" I look down. "Yea that would be great. Thanks.

As were eating, I couldn't help noticing Duncan and Logan staring back and forth. Almost as if they had something to say, but didn't know how to ask. 'This must be good.'

"Ok guys spill. I know you want to ask me something, so just say it." They look at each other again. Logan clears his throat and wipes his hands on his jeans. "Uhh…Would you like to go for a walk?" I can't help giving him a strange look. "Sure. I guess."

So the three of us walk into an empty classroom where they sit down across from me. At first they can't look at me. 'This must be something serious. It can't be something I said or did. I just met them.'

"Ok guys out with it. I'm a big girl I think I can handle the question." They stare at each other some more until Duncan kicks Logan under the table.

"Fine I guess I'll ask." Logan says while shooting Duncan the death stare. He turns to me, and I really look at him. "What is it?" I half whisper.

"It's Lily." He blurts out. I scrunch up my nose and tilt my head to the side. A wave of sadness washes over me because Wallace used to call that my 'Could you do me a favor' head tilt.

"Lily?" 'Why does that name sound familiar? Think. Oh wait. She was the one absent first period. "What, is she mad I stole her seat? I mean it wasn't my fault she was absent and it was the only seat available." They give me a strange look. "I'm sorry did I offend you?" They look at each other, and then they look at me again like I've lost it. "No offense, but what are you talking about? Lily's not coming back."

"What? Is she on vacation or something? And why do you guys look so sad? Did she date you both and then break you're heart by moving? Cuz that would be a pretty bitchy thing to do."

'These guys are starting to creep me out. Why do I care what Lily did to them? I don't know her or them.

"Lily was my sister." Duncan says while looking sadly into my eyes. "Was? What do you mean was?"

"Lily's dead. She was murdered." 'Whoa murdered! That sucks. I know how it feels to lose someone you love to murder. But then again, why are they telling me?'

"I'm sorry. But why are you telling me?" I look at Logan hoping for more of an explanation. "Lilly was my girlfriend." He says while tears form in his eyes. "We um, we heard about what happened to you and you're best friend. And uh, we were wondering, that is, Duncan and I, were wondering if you would help us find out who killed her." He looks at me with such hope in his eyes.

"Nuh-uh. No way! No." I profusely shake my head no. "I can't believe you would ask me such a question! I only did that because that Bitch killed MY best friend! She had NO right to do it. He was innocent. And if it wasn't for her, I would still have my Best Friend now. Because of her, I wouldn't have to move because the media can't seem to get over the fact that a 17 year old GIRL solved a crime! No you can't make me do it! I won't go through that again!" I can feel myself get red as I'm practically shrieking at them. I lift my arms to my face and try to wipe the tears away. 'Oh god see what they made me do? Now I feel so embarrassed. I never meant to cry in front of these guys.

Next thing I know, I feel strong arms wrap around me and pull me up. I wrap my arms around his neck and sob into his shoulder. I feel two other hands on my back rubbing in slow circles.

When my tears finally subside, I pull away and look into Logan's face. He had tear tracks down his face as well. "I'm sorry. I never meant to upset you like that. But the way you feel about you're best friend, well that's how we feel about Lilly. It kills us knowing that whoever murdered Lilly got away with it, and there's nothing we can do about it. Please. At least think about it." He takes his thumbs and run them lightly over my cheeks wiping away my remaining tears. That simple act of kindness sends a shiver down my spine.

"Ok I'll think about it."
