(At Luke's car) "This guy is definitely something to be concerned about. He gave no notice of his coming so he is either not one of us or a trouble maker. .. Either way we should watch him." Luke said agitated that they weren't taking this seriously.

"Maybe we should leave him be. I mean he is keeping that half breed busy." Presley said with a hint of jealousy.

"Its true for the past two weeks HE had been with my Sophia."

"No, she could still flip therefore she is still technically under our protection. For now." Sean intervened; his interest in Sophia was so much more than just her protection.

"Then its settled we watch this guy to see what he is up to." Luke ended the conversation

(At School)

"Ok kids we have a human interest project coming up as well as chemistry and social studies project. so the list of partners is posted on the bulletin board." The principal announced.

The kids went to check the chart and Luke began to see red..or was it gold??

Paul was listed twice with Sophia, for the social studies and human interest... It wasn't a complete loss thought. he had her for chemistry. and they definitely had chemistry.

"Hey Sophie looks like we are together for one out of the three." Paul informed her happily.

"Sophie??? Who called her Sophie?" Luke wondered.

"Wow, that's great Paul, but who did we get on the other ones?" Sophia asked. knowing it wouldn't be Luke. Hill kids didn't get placed with well not hill kids.

"I got some chick named Presley and you got that Cates guy." Paul answered almost spitting out the word Cates.

"What Luke? Are you sure?" Sophia asked hoping it was a mistake.

"Yep, says so right here."

"Oh great." Sophia thought as Luke stood by and watched.

"Hey Sophie don't worry bout it. how bout I buy you lunch and we can get started on our project?" Paul offered trying to help the situation.

"Sorry bro two out numbers one so looks like Sophia and I need a little more prep time then you guys do." Luke said finally deciding to enter the conversation.

"Luke, Paul and I were gonna." Sophia started.

"No its ok I understand. I'll catch up with you in calculus, ok." Paul said oblivious to the fact that Sophia was staring daggers into Luke whose eyes were glowing gold despite the presence of "norms" as his group called them.

"Yeah, Why don't ya go find Presley." Luke suggested evily.

At this great exit line Paul leaves to do just that and Luke pulls Sophia towards the library.
