AN: Sorry for the delay but I was kinda hoping to make it to 30 reviews before I posted this next bit. How about this deal. When I get 35 reviews I'll post chapter 6. Until then…

Chapter 5: Except the Inevitable

oOoOoOo

Warren closed his eyes briefly. When had she put in an application? WHY did she put in an application!

"Well that IS a relief! You can ride with Mr. Peace then," said Ms. Powers smiling brilliantly.

Kattianna groaned.

Warren just sighed.

"Now, as for arrangements. Ms. Haggar will be in all your classes Mr. Peace. She needs someone to keep an eye on her. She's supposed to be starting as a sophomore, but Coach Boomer and I agree that, considering her grades from her last school, she should be able to handle our junior class. Also, you will no longer be on a team with Mr. Stronghold in 'Save the Citizen'. It's been decided that it's time to give the rest of the school a chance. You will now be partnered with Kattianna, in STC and Mad Science Lab. Now… The lunch bell isn't far away, so get going." She turned to her computer and tapped a few keys. "Oh, and here are your schedules." She handed them the sheets of paper that the printer spit out.

Warren watched Kattianna move out the door before turning to Ms. Powers once again. "You mean to tell me that I have to basically spend ALL my time with THAT!" he burst out.

"Yes, Mr. Peace. You might as well except the inevitable."

oOoOoOo

Kattianna stalked down the hallway to the cafeteria. She went to a back corner table and sat down. She pulled out her book from this morning and buried her nose in it.

She didn't notice when a certain red head came up to stand by her table. Layla cleared her throat softly.

Katt looked up at her with one raised eyebrow.

"I was just wondering if you'd like to sit with us," Layla said pointing over to a table that held Will, Ethan, Zach, and Magenta already. Warren walked up and slammed a tray down on one side of Will.

Kattianna just went back to reading her book. Maybe if she ignored the girl she'd go away. Layla just cleared her throat again. "Was that not enough of a 'No' for you?"

"Well if you change your mind.. you know where to find us," Layla said turning back toward her friends.

"No fear of that happening."

oOoOoOo

AN: So like it? Hate it? Give me some reviews! Lol when I get 35 I'll post the next chapter. Until then…
