The kids went to their homerooms and grabbed their seats, in Tyler's homeroom class there were a few of his friends he'd sit in the back with because well, that's the cool kid seating.

"Man, did you see Sarah today in that pink sweatsuit? What a babe!" asked one of Tyler's friends.

Tyler, however, was looking out the window, he was daydreaming about Mei and at the same time wondering if she was daydreaming about him.

"Yo, Earth to Tyler!" exclaimed his friend.

Still to no avail as Tyler was staring out the window into the clear sky outside.

"Hey, dumbass!" exclaimed his friend throwing a pencil at the back of his head.

Tyler felt the pencil hit the back of his head, more specifically the point which was very sharp. It was able to break him out of his trans but at the same time caused him pain.

"OW! What the heck jerk off?!" exclaimed Tyler cross.

"I said didn't you see Sarah in her pink sweatsuit?" replied his friend.

"Oh...yeah...she's okay I guess" replied Tyler still with Mei on his mind.

His friend looked confused.

"Just okay? The girl is stacked, what's wrong with you?" replied his friend.

"I mean I guess, she's nothing special" retorted Tyler.

"Nothing special?! Tyler, buddy are you batting for the team? Because I won't judge you man" teased his friend.

Tyler didn't like that remark.

"No, you idiot! I just don't think she's all that, doesn't mean I'm gay!" exclaimed Tyler.

"No need to take it personally, I'm only pulling your chain" retorted his friend.

Tyler rolled his eyes.

Meanwhile, in her homeroom class, Mei was sitting with her friends who were giving her googly eyes because they knew her secret crush.

"So when's the wedding Mei?" teased Abby.

"Yeah Mei, any names for your kids?" teased Miriam.

"Will you take his last name?" teased Priya.

"Will you all shut it?!" Mei gritted her teeth.

"Ooooooooooh" Abby and Miriam teased her.

Pretty soon their homeroom teacher Mr. Anderson walked into the room, to take attendance. He had his folder in one hand and marker in the other.

"Alright quiet down everyone, before we take attendance I have some news...we're going to have a new student who just moved here from Montreal, I want you all to make him feel welcome...Mr. McAllister if you will?" said Mr. Anderson.

The door swung open and in he walked, the slim caucasian young man with neck-length hair wearing an unbuttoned plaid shirt with a Montreal Expos t-shirt underneath it, blue jeans, and black sneakers.

Mei took one look at him, her eyes went wide...her mouth nearly hit the floor, when he walked in it seemed as if everything went in slow motion and she felt butterflies in her stomach...she knew something was about to happen and needed to get out of dodge quickly even for just that moment. She quickly threw her arm in the air.

"Yes, Mei?" asked Mr. Anderson.

"Mr. Anderson, I have to use the bathroom, please and thank you! I drank too much water!" exclaimed Mei jolting from her seat and grabbing the bathroom pass.

Mei ran at full speed to the bathroom where she got into the same unoccupied stall she had gotten into earlier.

"Calm down Mei, calm down! We don't even know him yet...oh my God is he so adorable, especially those eyes! Oh my goodness!" She thought to herself breathing heavily trying to prevent it...

*POOF*

Mei panda'd.

"Dang it!" she mumbled to herself, fur all pressed against the stall walls.

Mei closed her eyes and rubbed her temples and thought of her friends trying to bring herself back to Earth. Within a few seconds...

*POOF*

Mei was back to normal.

She brushed herself off and headed back to class, when she opened the door the new kid was still standing there talking to the class. Mr. Anderson interrupted him.

"Mr. McAllister, I hate to cut you off but Ms. Lee over here had to use the facilities so if you wouldn't mind starting over," said Mr. Anderson giving Mei a look as she slinked over to her seat.

"Um...sure, my name is Brendan and I'm originally from Montreal...huge Canadians and Expos fan, my hobbies include playing and watching hockey, watching baseball, watching wrestling...Edge is my favorite wrestler, I love music and I love to read and math is practically my favorite subject" said Brendan.

"He's perfect" Mei thought to herself biting her lip.

Abby leaned right next to Mei and whispered in her ear...

"Mei and Brendan sitting in a tree" she whispered.

"K-i-s-s-i-n-g" whispered Miriam in her other ear.

"Shut up the both of you!" Mei gritted silently through her teeth.

"Well, Mr. McAllister, thank you again for the introduction...why don't you take a seat next to Ms. Lee and I'll take attendance and then you'll all be on your way to class," said Mr. Anderson looking at his folder.

Mei had to duck her head into her arms, she couldn't even look at him because she was afraid she'd panda. She was breathing fairly heavily but managed to slow it down a bit, although Abby and Miriam couldn't resist the urge to not only make Brendan a friend of theirs but taunt their friend as well.

"So, Brendan nice to meet ya! I'm Abby!" exclaimed Abby.

"I'm Miriam," said Miriam introducing herself.

"Priya," said Priya reading her novel.

"And that charming young lady with her head in her desk is Mei, Mei you're being rude why don't you introduce yourself?" taunted Abby.

"Hi," Mei said sheepishly.

"Mei, he couldn't hear you" chuckled Abby.

"HI!" exclaimed Mei.

"You'll have to excuse her, so anyways since you're new in town and I know you wanna make friends you should join us in karaoke on Saturday! Do you do karaoke?" asked Abby.

"Ummm...I sound like I'm being strangled if I sing but I do wanna make friends so sure I'm down" smiled Brendan.

"Then it's a date!" exclaimed Abby.

"Poor choice of words!" Mei thought to herself.

RRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG! went the bell.

"Saved by the bell" Mei muttered to herself.

Everyone had their class schedules and Mr. Anderson gave Brendan his schedule, Mei was able to peek at his schedule briefly and she noticed that she had third-period history with him but had thankfully she had second-period math...but Tyler shared that class with her. Not only that but an insult to injury all of Mei's friends sans Tyler were gonna be in second-period science with Brendan. As they were walking to their respective classes Mei's friends approached her.

"He's a hunk ain't he?" chuckled Miriam.

"Oh yeah...YOUR BABIES WOULD BE WAY CUTER WITH HIM!" exclaimed Abby.

"Total babe" added Priya.

"Will you all stop?! I'm not into him! I just...had to pee! Jeez, it's natural you know?!" exclaimed a very frustrated Mei.

"We're not playing this game again, face it you're between a rock and a hard place right now...you like Tyler but since you laid eyes on Brendan your shift has changed" chuckled Miriam.

"Who said I like either of them?!" growled Mei.

Mei felt ears and a tail popping up, she was flustered at her their constant taunting, she had to get rid of that and get rid of it quick.

"Look, just let me go okay? I have to head to class!" exclaimed Mei walking away trying to calm herself.

The girls just stood there with smirks on their faces.

"I can't wait to see how this is gonna play out," said Priya in her monotone voice.

"I know right?!" exclaimed Abby.

"Hey, we have a class with Brendan let's see if we can get to know him more" added Miriam.

They all headed to class, but now Mei was even more nervous because she was already feeling feelings for Tyler but now she had this new guy who she liked but didn't even know yet, she was dreading the third period...heck she was dreading the second period because Tyler sat next to her in class.
