A/N: hi again, I'm sorry if this has mistakes, I didn't read it over :) But I hope you like this, it's kinda just explaining stuff that you need to know.

Disclaimer: I don't own most of the names only Cris, Jamie and the plot but you probably know this by now :P

Chapter 3: Friendship is one mind in eight bodies

"What am I going to do?" she asks rather whiningly. Her friends had gathered in the school grounds sitting in the gazebo before the school day started. All the girls seem deep in thought until Tris speaks up "Can't you say you're busy that day?" Clary answers so Cris doesn't have to "He would just keep on changing the date and he hasn't given her a day yet" Cris put her head in her hands and Izzy put a comforting hand on her back.

"Hey" Hazel says with enthusiasm clear in her voice "What if we say you're already dating someone?!" Cris looked up at this "Who the hell would want to go out with me if I just asked straight out" All the girls looked at her "Every damn guy" they yelled together, then they all burst out laughing. They always made Cris feel better in tough moments or at any moment. "Okay new question, who?" Katniss says still a little out of breath from laughing. "Damn, Katniss always with the hard questions"

"What about Jem?" Tessa says and Cris chokes a "What?!" and looks to Tessa like she just shape shifted. "Yeah, I mean Will tells me these things, I probably shouldn't tell you but this is a desperate situation" Tessa had been going out with Will for over a year now and he was on holiday with his cousin Jace, who happens to be going out with Clary. "He.. he likes .. me?!" Everyone, apart from Cris, collectively sighed "Of course he does" Izzy says and Hazel adds "You should see the way those silver eyes light up when he sees you"

"I don't know about this guys, what if Jamie still makes it happen even if I'm dating?" Cris mutters, Jem was so kind and thoughtful and basically everything that Jamie wasn't apart from hot. But Jamie actually showed, what she thought was, vulnerability and seemed genuinely happy when she gave in, 'Seemed' she thought, of course he could have been acting, he was in there acting class and was pretty good although nothing compared to the girls.

The girls seemed to think about this for a minute before Tessa says "I don't think he will but then we don't know his intentions," All the girls nodded as the bell rang, "Ugh, I hate registration" Maia says the disgust clear in her voice.

They were all in the same form, Ithuriel, and all the forms were named after angels. Although they were all in the same form they all had to be split up for causing 'distractions', and all the others got to sit were they wanted, so Cris, Katniss, Izzy and Maia all had boy's wanting to sit next to them, Tessa, Clary, Tris and Hazel all had boyfriends who no one wanted to get on the bad side of. Although the four singles hated it as all they wanted to do was sit together and a boy never allowed that and Clary and Tessa and Tris and Hazel got to sit next to each but at other ends of the room. Luckily for Cris, Jamie and Cato weren't in her form but Sebastian and Jem were.

They reluctantly got up and headed to the Arch Angels block were there form was, agreeing to talk about this in form and basically all lessons, they didn't really need to pay attention as they all had finished their GCSE's and they all got A's and A star's in every subject, so unlike the others who were yet to do their exams they really didn't have to do any work.

When they got to their form room, all eyes were on them, girls had mean, bitchy expressions and the guys were all staring but Jem was smiling sweetly. Cris couldn't help but smile back, it was contagious kind of beautiful smile that drew you in. The stares weren't helped by the horrible and rather slutty private school uniforms, most girls liked them as they highlighted their best bits but the fangirls hated it: they consisted of a white, and slightly transparent, blouse that was cut to show off the girl's waists, a red tie, that was quite thin, a black blazer that was once again cut to show of girl's assests, knee high grey socks and the worst of all a red tartan pleated skirt that, since Cris was tall, went above the middle of her thigh.

The girls were forced to split up and Cris went to sit at the available seat at the back of the room next to Jem, it was weird to see Jem without someone to sit next, as a lot of girls or his friends wanted to sit there, but the seat was free so Cris took her chances. When she arrived at the seat she put one hand on the chair and asked sweetly "Is this seat taken?" Jem, who had been watching her make her way over, smiled wider and answered "No, of course not," He pulled the seat back for her and she sat down, smiling, and she noticed that some of the boys and girls were scowling at her and Jem. She placed her bag under the table and Jem leaned over to whisper into her ear "I saved this seat just for you" she smiled and shivered as his warm breath fanned across her ear. He continued "I was hoping you would sit here" She looked him in the eye, his silver eyes glistening in the light, he leaned back in his chair and smiled, his silver hair fell in to one eye, and she watched him sweep it back.

"Would you be disappointed if I didn't sit here?" she asked teasingly as she bit her lip and he laughed. "Very" he breathed making her shiver again as she laughed. "Well it seems to be your lucky day" she laughed and he joined her as Cris noticed Sebastian watching them intently and he quickly turned his attention back to the girl he was flirting with.

After what seemed like a few minutes of talking to Jem, she heard the thump of hands slamming on to her table. The whole class turned to see the commotion and Cris' head slowly turned to see Sebastian with his face inches from hers. As Mr. Starkweather had not turned up to form once again she thought that he had probably took the risk.

Before Sebastian could speak, Cris said "Sebastian, to what so I owe the pleasure?" She smiled but his face of indifference didn't waver. He stared and leaned in to whisper "Jamie wants to talk to you" She held her finger up to Jem as if to say 'I'll be a minute'. She got up and went to sit on the work top at the back of the room, to get some privacy although the whole class had gone silent to listen to their conversation.

"Ah, he's resorted to sending his minions to do his work, classy" she said and smiled as she swung her legs below the counter. Sebastian put his hands either side of her legs and he lifted on hand and pounded the work top. The class had now formed around them and her eyes flicked to Jem who was being restrained by Hazel and Maia.

Sebastian growled, as if he didn't like the truth, and leaned toward her "You'll will talk to him in school, today" he explained, matter of factly but anger still laced his voice. "Oh, will I now" she said softly and continued "Who's going to make me?" He growled again and she tutted him as she put a hand on his chest and pushed him back as she slid off the work top. "Calm down, doggy" Cris said "If you a good little boy, I'm sure Master Jamie will give you a treat" She said mockingly as she smirked making her way through the crowd who opened a path for her. The bell rand as she grabbed her bag and strutted with her friends to Maths, as they got out the door they all started laughing.
