So, I've had to split the winner ship. The reason is that while the MAIN plot was guessed by someone, quite a bit of the inner plot was guessed by another.

Chapter Two

Same Day: December 16th, 2006: Tuesday

Amy sung along to the music as they sat in first day traffic. Jefferson High stood atop a large hill and every year the main road to the school was jam packed with cars. She looked around, searching for people she knew. She saw Soraya, her best girl friend, in her bright red car only about five cars in front of her. Already on the quad were Matt, Soraya's boyfriend of approximately...two days, and his group of friends. Standing not too far away was Amy's group.

In her main group there were four girls, not including herself and Soraya, and five guys, including Matt and Ty. While they had more friends that they each hung out with separately, they had all been good friends for nearly four years now, and they were practically inseparable. The only friends that came higher than their group, was a group inside their group. Amy and Ty.

Of the four other girls, the prettiest was Mabel. She had long honey blonde hair that flew in curls down her back. Her smile was soft and her eyes the deepest blue. She was tall, almost six feet, and she was the kind of skinny that every girl wished they were. All her friends jokingly called her Maybelline because her skin was so flawless that she barely even knew what coverup was. She never used more makeup than eyeshadow, and she loathed the nickname. She hated the fact that her name was so close to a brand of makeup that she didn't even need. It only brought on cracks about her beauty.

Next in line was the most intelligent, Cecile. Cecile was soft pretty. She had dark brown hair that lay only an inch below her chin and curved around her face, and she wore black framed glasses that magnified her bright topaz eyes. She always had a book in hand and a shy smile to lend. She didn't talk much around anyone but their group, but she was very opinionated. She was medium height, around 5'6, and always wore jeans, a t-shirt, and a tweed blazer.

The crazy one of the bunch was Nina. She had a bright blast of deep red hair, bangs slashed across her forehead, and ice blue eyes. She always had a witty comment and joke to tell. She could cheer you up with a slap to the face. She was that good.

The last girl, Hollie, was the athlete. She had long, layered, black hair with crimson highlights throughout. Her hair, at the moment, was thrown into a loose ponytail nearly on the top of her head. She was biting her lip and attempting to juggle a hackey sack on her feet. Amy watched, knowing she would do it, and laughed silently as she whipped it around stunning the guys around her. She was great at every sport. Literally. From basketball, to soccer, to tennis, to golf. Anything that involved the littlest bit of physical activity was easily conquered by Hollie.

Standing around the girls were all the guys, save Ty and Matt.

There was Derek. He was tall with dark blonde hair cut short and was boyfriend to Mabel. They had been together for nearly two years. He was on the soccer team and also the basketball team with Ty and Roddy.

Roddy was the shortest of the guys, but still taller than all the girls. He had dark black hair and a chubby face that set off his very lean body. He was the joker of the guys, and him and Nina were well on their way to getting together. All they needed was a little push in the right direction.

The last guy was Carlos, otherwise known as Los (like most without the t). Los came from Mexico and had moved to Jefferson when they were in the 7th grade. He didn't speak good english back then, but he had taken classes at the school every Friday for a year and a half and was now fluent with a very cute spanish accent. He, Amy knew, was steadily building up the courage to ask out his long time crush...Cecile.

Amy smiled and waved at the group as she drove past them, and laughed when Nina smacked Roddy upside the head for flipping Amy the middle finger jokingly.

"There's one a few cars up." Ty muttered, unbuckling himself. Amy saw the vacant parking spot he was talking about and maneuvered her car into it. She shut off the engine, reached back for her book bag, and then stepped out of the car.

"Did you do your english homework?" Amy asked, stepping carefully around the ice on the pathway to the school.

"No, I'm doing it later. I have study hall right before." Amy nodded solemnly and looked over at him.

"Do you think you can help me during lunch? I just can't figure out what the hell Shakespeare is trying to say. I don't get why he has to be all cryptic." Ty raised an eyebrow at her.

"Amy, its called reading between the lines." He stepped around a patch of ice. "And why would I help you when I just told you I'm doing it right before? It would be pointless for me to help you then do it afterwards."

"You know, for a 3.9 GPA, you sure don't have much up here." She tapped the side of his head. "You can do it with me in lunch. Please? You know I never ask for homework help except with Shakespeare. The guys confuses me to pieces." Ty smiled slightly and sighed.

"I guess." Amy smiled and playfully punched his arm in thanks right before they reached their group.

"Hey, guys." Mabel sang, a bright smile stretched across her face and Amy noticed her hand slide down to capture Derek's behind their backs. Mabel and Derek were the perfect couple. They were always happy around each other and had small little things that showed they loved each other, like still shyly holding hands after almost two years.

"Hey, Maybelline." Amy smirked as Mabel rolled her eyes and Cecile smiled slightly, breaking her steady conversation with Los to look at Amy with a knowing glance.

"Yo, Ty, do we have practice today?" Roddy snatched the hackey sack away from Hollie and threw it at Ty, who, surprised, barely caught it.

"Yeah, coach said no day off this week because of John and all those guys partying last weekend." Roddy swore under his breath.

"Those guys always ruin things for us. I was going to get some extra sleep today, practice has been killin' me." Ty and Derek nodded knowingly and Ty passed the hackey sack back to Roddy.

"Oh, suck it up. You big muscle-y, manly, men should be able to take a little beat down." Nina slapped Derek and Roddy on the shoulders and threw a glance at Ty.

"Nina, lets see you go through the workout we do everyday, and see if you don't feel like a little sleep now and then." Ty raised an eyebrow at her as Nina waltzed up to him, poking him in the chest.

"Anytime. I bet I could do it without breaking a sweat." Ty laughed and Derek nearly choked on his own spit. "What?" she questioned. "I could."

"Okay, sure. We believe you." Ty patted her shoulder sympathetically and Nina glared at him.

"Fine, I'll prove it. Tomorrow I'll work out with you guys, and I'll tell your coach to make it really hard for me." Ty stopped laughing and Hollie walked towards Nina.

"Neen, are you sure you want to, because I mean, you're not that..." Nina help up a hand.

"Hollie, just because you could run the perimeter of the U.S. in the amount of time it takes me to run the mile does NOT mean I can't take a little physical pain now and again." Hollie only shrugged and backed away. Amy and Cecile smiled at each other.

"I have ten on Nina." Amy raised her hand as if at an auction.

At that moment Soraya walked up and joined the group, getting automatically confused at that statement. She was about to speak when Cecile beat her.

"Ditto." Cecile waved her small clutch in the air.

Hollie glanced at Cecile and bit her bottom lip. "Sorry, Neens, but I'm betting on Ty and the guys." Nina looked at her with an open mouth and then she whipped around to Soraya, Mabel, and Matt, who had just walked up and wrapped an arm around Soraya, keeping her warm.

"Do guys think I can handle a day of working out with the basketball team?" Soraya and Mabel looked skeptical and Matt burst out laughing.

"Nina, you can barely lift a pencil!" Matt bent over in laughter and then sputtered out: "I'm betting on you not being able to tough it out."

"Fine. Soraya? Mabel?" Soraya was pensive for a moment and then looked at her.

"I've got five on Nina." Mabel only nodded in agreement.

"Cheap." Amy muttered, shaking her head.

"What?" Soraya turned to her in confusion.

"Me and Cecile have ten each on her, and you're saying five?" Soraya looked around and saw everyone nodding. They were all betting ten.

"Fine, ten it is." Soraya said, just as the bell rung. Mabel instantly headed towards the school, complaining about it being freezing cold outside and how it was about damn time they opened the school early. Winter was well set in. Amy and the others laughed and only followed her.

Lunch

"Did you hear?" Mabel sat down across from Amy and pulled out her bagged lunch. Amy looked up from her pizza and stared at her.

"Hear what exactly?" She asked, taking a bite from her food, and glancing over as Ty sat next to her.

"About the new kid?" Mabel seemed excited and Amy looked at her like she was crazy.

"What new kid?" Ty chimed in, poking his pizza before choosing to start with his apple instead.

"I haven't met him yet, but he's in my global class." Mabel opened her yogurt and snatched Amy's spoon.

"I guess his name is Braydon, which is, in my opinion, a great name." She took a spoonful and swallowed. "He's really tall with dark blonde hair and a great smile. But, I guess he's not as good as he looks."

At that moment everyone who had been in line sat down. Soraya heard Mabel and looked over.

"You talking about the new kid?" Mabel nodded. "Total hottie, but has a criminal record. So its kind of pointless to even think about him."

"What do you mean?" Cecile asked, pulling out a book.

"I heard that he just got out of juvie and got sent to Jefferson to work on a farm as a service. His family moved out with him though, so he's pretty permanent, I think." Amy stared at her.

"What farm? I never heard anything." Amy put down her pizza.

"Green Briar." Soraya looked over towards the cheerleader squad. "I guess Ashley was keeping a little secret." Ashley Grant was the richest girl in school, and the biggest bitch. Her and Amy had never gotten along.

"Figures. She'd want to keep something like this quiet so it was big news when it happened." Cecile muttered, glancing up from her book.

"What was he in juvie for?" Ty asked.

"I don't know, probably stealing or something." Mabel said airily.

"Or something." Amy said sarcastically. Amy looked over at Ashley and saw her leaning in towards her friends, gossiping and flipping her bleach blonde hair over her shoulder.

"Has Ashley said anything to anyone about it being true?" Cecile asked Soraya, knowing she had a class with Ashley.

"No, but she hasn't denied it. I heard Karen ask her about it and Ashley just shrugged and smiled, like she knew something we didn't." Soraya took a bite from her sandwich. "It might be a rumor, but he looks sort of like a criminal."

"Well, you never know." Amy said, finishing off her pizza and taking out her english, watching as Ty did the same. "He probably is. I mean, even Ashley wouldn't want to spread that around if it wasn't true, it being true is too good of a scheme for her to pull off."

"Yeah, I guess you're right." Mabel said. "And he looks like one. I'm telling you. He's all bad boy, mysterious, leave-me-alone. It's sort of intriguing." Derek, who was sitting next to her looked over at her questioningly.

"I meant for other girls. I already have my guy." She grabbed his hand on the table and slipped it under the table and he smiled at her.

"Ew"

"Get a room."

"Chee-ssy"

The rest of the group chorused jokingly and Mabel and Derek blushed. Amy watched them smiling, none of them noticing as the new intriguing figure of Jefferson walked right past their table and into the hallway.

So, this was to introduce all the main characters that aren't in the book, because they will play large parts in the story. Also, I wanted to give some background on the new kid. Review please:)
