This story is simply a collection of one-shots. Each chapter will be an episode through either Cody or Squib's eyes, starting from the very beginning. This chapter will be very similar to my latest fic 'At Eighth Sight' because they are both in Cody's POV.
Studentia Jockulus:
If she had been paying attention she probably would have thought he was cute. Instead she's too preoccupied staring at the giant wall in front of her that she's supposed to climb. She knows she has to get over the wall, and before he does, in order to win this for the girls. In order to make friends. She can't do it, though, and just before that blond guy makes it over the top he casts her a little smirk. Jerk.
On the other side of the wall she confesses, or rather, is found out. She's not a tennis player. The rest of the students cast her disgusted looks and walk away. She's humiliated and alone in a new school. Just before they leave she can hear the blond guy call back, 'Enjoy your crappy dorm, ladies!' and for a little while she thinks she hates him. She realizes later that it's not his fault, but she needs someone to blame for this whole mess and she doesn't want to blame herself. She thinks for just a moment that she sees him look back at her, but her head is down and she can't really tell.
When she hears him fighting with Sebastien, the only student who has been nice to her, she decides that it's people like him who are going to make this school hell for her. She wants nothing to do with him.
She's sitting with Megan and Adena talking about her pictures. When they see one of Squib she is about to bring up her thoughts about him when she thinks better of it. These two girls seem not to mind him, even if he's a little annoying, and trashing their friends will not make her very popular here. Instead she comments on his cute butt. It isn't a lie. By now she has noticed him, but is already so turned off by his personality that it doesn't really matter.
Sebastien wins against him and she's happy about it until she sees the two boys shaking hands. What happened to the jerk? She sighs as she runs to find Rick and retract her article, feelings of guilt weighing down on her.
It's going to be a long year…
