'Beep, beep, beep,' Veronica's alarm sounded too early Monday morning. School would be officially be starting today. It had been two days since the back to school party and Veronica had yet to leave her room other then to use the bathroom or to get food. She still wasn't happy about being in Neptune but she figured once school actually started maybe it wouldn't be so bad. Veronica reached over and slapped her alarm clock to shut up the obnoxious squeal coming from it. She pushed herself out of bed and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. Veronica looked around the room and found Mac buried deep within the comforter of her bed and Meg perfecting her face at the vanity.

"Morning Veronica," Meg smiled sweetly.

"Morning," Veronica countered with her voice still rough with sleep. Meg had seemed to calm down since the first day. She was less peppy and more human. Cindy Mackenzie or Mac as she was called was a really cool down to earth person. Her and Meg had bunked together before so they knew each other well.

"You should probably get ready classes start in half an hour," Meg stated.

"K. Should I wake Mac up?" Veronica asked pointing to the blob on the bed next to hers.

"Not if you want to live to see tomorrow," Meg advised sarcastically. "We'll wake her up about ten minutes before we leave. Anyways what do you have first?" Meg asked making friendly conversation.

"Uh A.P English," Veronica said grabbing her schedule off the ground, "you?"

"Math," Meg stated. The girls continued small talk before they woke Mac up and headed to class.

-----

Meg walked Veronica to English so she wouldn't get lost then headed to her own class. Veronica slumped down into a desk near the back of the room. Class had begun and Veronica's English teacher Mrs. Murphy was droning on and on with the usual back to school day speeches. Veronica was doodling on her note pad when the door to the classroom slammed shut. She looked up and saw none other then Logan Echolls enter the classroom.

"Mr. Echolls I presume. Thank you for joining us now please take a seat," Mrs. Murphy ordered. Logan saluted and scanned the room for a seat, he noticed Veronica and walked over and sat beside her.

"Well, well, well it seems we meet again," Logan smiled to veronica once Mrs. Murphy started talking again.

"What are the odds?" Veronica joked.

"So Ms. Mars, how do you like it here at Neptune?" Logan asked conversationally.

"Oh it's just fantastic," Veronica rolled her eyes.

"Hm I'm sensing you don't like it here," Logan said.

"The ability you have to read me is impeccable," Veronica said flatly.

"Well Veronica you're in luck. I happen to be Neptune Academies very own welcome wagon," Logan told her.

"Wow your right I did luck out."

"Yep and I am making it my personal goal to make you love it here," he smirked. Before Veronica could get a word in the teacher interrupted.

"Mr. Echolls and friend is there something you would like to share with the class?" Mrs. Murphy asked. Logan and Veronica both apologized and turned their attention back to the teacher.

-----

Class ended and Veronica gathered her books and headed towards the door. Once she exited Logan caught up beside her.

"So Veronica as part of Neptune's Welcome Wagon I will escort you to your next class assuring you don't get lost," Logan told her throwing his arm around her shoulder. Veronica laughed and pushed his arm off her shoulder.

"I think I can find room 223," Veronica stated looking down at her paper.

"Oh really?" Logan asked and Veronica nodded. "Hm well that's funny considering you just walked past the class room." Veronica stopped and looked back at the door.

"Oh," she said and turned around, Logan followed her.

"So as a part of this oh so fabulous package you will be able to have the rare opportunity of accompanying me to lunch," Logan smiled cockily.

"Wow it must be my lucky day," Veronica said dryly.

"That it is," Logan said and stopped in front of her classroom. "So seriously lunch?"

"I'll think about it," Veronica said and walked into her classroom. Logan stared at the door for a moment before walking away. Dick Casablancas, Logan shaggy, tanned, blonde friend came up to him.

"Dude I saw you talking to that new chick she's hot," Dick said slapping Logan on the back. "What's the deal with you two?"

"I don't know," Logan, said confused.

"Dude how can you not know? You've always been like the king of chicks," Dick blinked.

"She's a tricky one man," Logan shrugged.

-----

Lunchtime emerged and the students rushed out to the quad. Veronica was probably the last one out. She looked around for an empty table when someone walked up beside her.

"Looking for me?" the voice asked. She turned around and saw Logan standing beside her.

"Hardly," Veronica scoffed and walked towards an empty table.

"You can hide behind that sarcasm Ronnie but I see it in your eyes," Logan lent down and whispered, "You want me." This caused Veronica to laugh.

"You caught me Echolls," Veronica rolled her eyes.

"I knew it. So come on let's eat," Logan insisted. Logan grabbed her hand and dragged her to a table in the centre of the quad. At the table Veronica recognized Meg and gave her a slight wave. Logan sat down and pulled her down with him. "Everyone this is Veronica, Veronica this is everyone," Logan introduced before digging into the pizza on the table. Veronica shifted in her seat and smiled weakly. It wasn't that Veronica didn't want to make friends it was that she didn't want to trust people. It had seemed that anyone Veronica trusted left like her mother. Soon enough Veronica started to warm up to the lunch group and joined in on some of the conversations. A particular prissy blonde kept questioning her about Logan.

"So how long have you two known each other?" the blonde, Madison asked.

"Um a couple days," Veronica responded.

"Oh well you two seem awfully friendly," Madison said.

"Not really…" Veronica trailed off.

"So do you like not like him or something?" Madison asked. Veronica was about to respond when the bell rang. Veronica shrugged and left.

"Hey Veronica," Meg called.

"Hey Meg," Veronica smiled.

"So I saw you with Logan Echolls what was that about?" Meg asked curiously.

"Nothing I just met him at the party Friday and he showed me around school. He was just being friendly," Veronica told her and began searching for her next class.

"Sure," Meg winked and left Veronica.

A/N: Okay so there's chapter two. Thanks again for all the reviews. So many of them I was so happy. It made my Thanksgiving. By the way happy thanksgiving to any other Canadians out there. Also I may not be able to update a lot but I will update once a week at the least. The characters will also be growing a little more depth once the story has really started. I want there to be some drama, not like Laguna Beach drama but like Veronica Mars drama. Oh yah and Meg won't be as peppy any more lol, I had been really wound up when I wrote this and thinking of Parker from season three and Meg came out seeming like she was on uppers. And I will make the next chapter longer I'm just to tired right now I had to do homework all day plus Thanksgiving dinner so I'm tired. Okay I think I've talked long enough. Please, please review!
