Chapter 2

14 years passed and Katie was now 14 and the boys were 16. Katie was in her bedroom packing her bookbag for the first day of school. She had a purple book af with pink flowers all over it and a pink star on the center pocket on the front. Ten minutes later all her packing was done.

Katie put her hair up in a ponytail and was wearing a pink t-shirt with purple stripes, purple pants and purple ballet flats.

She walked out of her bedroom with her bookbag ready to go. She walked into the kitchen to see her mom making breakfast for her dad.

"Hey mom I'm ready" Katie tells her.

"Awesone sweetie but don't you want to stay for breakfast?" Serena asks her daughter.

"No mom it's okay I want to get to school a bit early today" Katie says rejecting the option to join her mom for breakfast.

"It's okay sweetie it's fine. Have a awesome first day" Serena said to her daughter and hugged her and kissed her forehead.

"I will. Bye!" Katie said smiling and waved 'Bye' at her mom while heading now out the door.

"Bye Katie" Serena waved to her daughter back. Once Katie started walking down the street she closed the door. Since the school was close to their house Katie's mom decided that she could walk to school now that she was old enough and it'd be quicker then driving.

Katie POV

I was walking for the first time to school by my self since I was old enough now and mom gave me permission. The school was located on 22 W. Woodrow lane which was just three to four blocks away from home.

"Awesome no taking the bus" I thought. In less then five minutes I had reached the building.

I looked up and gulped. Sherwood High was written with white letters with a red border on the front of the building. This school was huge. It extended out into the school yard by 2 to 3 feet. It looked like it had a lot of floors. This school was a combined school with middle school on the first two floors and high school on the top two.

"Don't worry Katie you can do this" I said to myself giving a mental pep talk. I took a deep breath and started walking in.

"Let's hope this will be a good year" I said to myself. All I knew about this school was that the first 2 floors were for the middle schoolers and the top two were for all the high schoolers.

I knew at least where the office was so I could get my schedule.

I walked up to one of the lady's sitting at her desk in the office and asked for my schedule and what my name was.

She searched through the stack of schedules on her desk and then found mine.

"Here you go Ms. Whitman" The lady said.

"Thank you" I replied with a thankful smile.

I walked off now looking at my schedule. Science was first. Yay that I had science first since it was my favourite subject but there was a problem. I had no clue where Science class was. I kinda had ditched orientation because I thought it was boring and now I'm stuck.

I looked around and saw all the other kids knowing where to go except for me. I didn't want to ask anyone or else I'd be embarrassed. My feet were glued to the ground with nervousness running through them. I felt so lost like when you lose your mom in the supermarket and you start to get scared.

What was I going to do now?

Kendall POV

"First day back in school and first day of hockey practice. This was going to be a good year" I thought to myself as I entered the building from where the middle schoolers entered.

And what I saw made sadness run through my veins. A petite girl with brown hair stood in the middle of the hallway looking lost.

I figured she probably didn't know where her first class was.

Boy I sure knew how she felt. The first year I started this school I didn't know where my first class was and I didn't ask anybody because I thought it'd be embarrassing.

I kinda ditched orientation and then I was completely lost but I was able to figure out my way.

And now I figured that was what she did.

So I decided to help her out.

I walked up to where she was standing and tapped her on her shoulder. She turned around rapidly and saw me.

"Hey Are you lost?" I asked her.

"Y-Yeah" She stuttered out with wide and anxious eyes.

"Let me see your schedule" I said to her.

She nodded and handed me the piece of paper.

I took it from her and looked down at it.

Science was her first class.

"Oh okay so you have science as your first class so go down the hall and it's the second door on your left" I told her and pointed down the hallway to the second door.

She looked to where I was pointing and nodded.

"Thank you so much but how did you know that?" She asked.

"I've been going to this school for 3 years now it's my fourth this year. I'm a freshmen now" I said.

"Cool awesome" She said.

"Yeah and I'm also guessing you were lost because you ditched orientation because you thought it was boring?" I asked with a furrowed eyebrow.

"Yeah that's why. How did you guess that also?" She asked with a surprised look.

"When I first saw you in the hallway looking lost that's what I figured. Also Because I did the same thing. When it was my first year here I ditched orientation too cause I thought it was boring. Then on the first day I was super lost and I couldn't find my first class. I didn't ask anybody cause I thought it'd look embarrassing. But then somehow I was able to find my first class before the bell rang and my way around" I explained to her.

"Wow I can't even believe that" She said in a surprised tone.

"Well believe it" I replied.

"Yeah we should be getting to class soon. Ill see you later. Thank again so much for the help" She said sounding grateful.

"Yeah your right we should. And no problem it was no trouble. Bye" I said.

"Bye" She replied. We both started to walk in the direction to our first class when I suddenly realized something. I didn't know what her name was. I had to ask what her name is.

I turned around from where I was standing and shouted, "What's your name?"

She heard me and turned around. She came running back to where I was standing and said, "Katie. You?"

"Kendall" I said.

She stuck her arm out and properly introduced herself, "I'm Katie."

"I'm Kendall" I said and we shook hands. I don't know what it was but I felt a weird sensation when we shook hands. Like a weird touch. One that I can't really describe.

"I'll see you later then" Katie said.

"Same yeah bye" I replied.

"Bye Kendall" Katie said and walked towards her science class. In the whole midst of this I forgot to get my schedule. I walked to the office and asked the lady for my schedule. She handed in to me and I thanked her and started to walk off. I looked down at it and saw I had AP English as my first class.

"Ugh most boring class of the day starts first period." I thought with a sigh as I headed towards the stairs to the third floor.

AP English was room 232 down the hallway and the 1st door on the right. I found the right room and walked in. I took a seat in the back and saw that there was a few kids missing and that the teacher wasn't here it so I had a few minutes of free time. There was something on my mind that kept bothering me since the morning. Katie.

There was something about her. Something special. When we shook hands a sensation went through me and I think she felt it too. But what was it? I had to find out what it was.

Katie POV

I walked towards Science class by the way Kendall showed me. I entered and saw there still was a few kids missing and the teacher wasn't there yet.

Good.

I took a seat in the back next to a girl with glasses and black hair. So I had some free time to myself which was just the right time to think about what's been bothering me since the morning.

Kendall.

When we shook hands I felt a strange touch from him. I'm sure he must have felt it too. Something that I can't describe. There's something special about him. It was weird.

Like it was something special.

I don't know what it was.

Is there something special about him?

I'm not sure. I had to find out what the special feeling was.

Thay whole thing kept buzzing around in my mind through the rest of Science class. I didn't pay attention that much since it was just the first day and all the teachers were doing was just explaining the rules and things like that.

Kendall POV

It was finally the end of the day. I was walking to my locker to get my stuff when I saw something that made my blood boil.

Katie was being picked on. This wasn't right.

I through my book bag down and went over to where she was. I stepped in front of her and shielded her.

"Step away from her right now. If you touch her I'll make sure both of you end up in the hospital" I said threateningly.

"Really? Who are you to stop us? Her brother?" The jocks said with a not scared attitude.

Kendall looked back at Katie and smiled and did a look that said 'I got you don't worry. I'm here' and then looked at the jocks.

"Yeah I'm her brother. You have a problem with that?" I asked.

Kendall then started beating both of them up. After five minutes they were black and blue.

"Now buzz off" I said threateningly. They both ran off. I looked back at Katie who now had tears in her eyes as she then hugged me tightly.

"Thank you Kendall" Katie said with tears in her eyes.

"No need to thank me" I said patting her back comfortingly.

"But why did you save me like that?" Katie asked.

"I couldn't stand to see a younger kid getting picked on so I did what was right" I replied.

"Okay but why did you say your my brother?" Katie asked.

"Well I know we just met and everything but I've felt a connection towards you. Like I'm supposed to protect you. When I saw you getting picked on I felt I had to protect you. Like a brother. And friends protect each other. Don't they?" I asked.

"They do" Katie said smiling and feeling grateful.

"And we're friends now so I'm always going to be there for you" I said sweetly to Katie and wiped the years from her eyes.

"Thank you" Katie said.

"Shut up friends don't thank friends. That's their job. Now do you want me to walk you home?" I asked Katie.

"Hehe your right. I'd like that" Katie said and let go from our hug. We grabbed our book bags and went out the front door of the building.

We slung our arms around each other as Katie told me where her house was. We both smiled at each other and enjoyed the walk to her house.
