Title: Rainbow Toe Socks
Chapter 3: Again
AN: I'm going try and be more serious in these next/future chapters. I have a problem when writing and the story will just go off into random-crack. It takes so much editing and re-reading to fix so if I do slip up and the story goes random-crack for a bit. I'm sorry! Anywhoo... On with the story.

Beep beep beep!

I can hear Crystal's alarm clock going off in the next room. I pull my pillow over my head in an attempt to block out the ringing. Why does she has to set her alarm for 6 in the morning? School doesn't start until 8:30 and it's only a 10 minute walk away so she could wake up at 8 and still make it there. I don't get her sometimes.

Eugh. Well now I'm awake. Might as well get up and get ready.

I grab my school uniform, which consists of a plain white blouse and a dark brown skirt, from my closet as well as some clean underwear and make my way to the bathroom. After a quick shower I get changed and head downstairs. Mum has already started breakfast. A simple bacon and eggs with orange juice. Dad has already left for work so Mum, Crystal and I eat breakfast together. Our conversation consists of 3 topics. One, Crystal's final year of school. Two, what should we do to celebrate Crystal's final year of school. And third, if this is the year we should get a pet.

Mum and Crystal go off into their little world of graduation planning, formal planning and schoolies planning. (*1) It gets so annoying when they get like this. I finish my breakfast as fast as I can and head back upstairs to pack my backpack.

I grab my new timetable off my desk. I have Art, English, Math and Drama today. I shove the appropriate books in my backpack along with my new fluro-pink pencil case. My phone buzzes on my bed side table. New message from Dawn telling me she's standing outside. I look at myself in the mirror. Good enough. I race downstairs and say a quick 'Good Bye' to my mum then race outside to meet Dawn.

xXx

"You do know you can knock and come in." I tell her as we walk to school.

"I know."

"So why don't you?"

"Because."

I sigh. I'll probably never understand her way of thinking.

After a few street, White catches up with us.

"So White. Wanna tell us why you tried to hide when N delivered the pizza's the other night?" I ask.

"What! How did I miss this?" Dawn asks surprised. She sounds like she just missed the most important news in the world.

"It was during your sugar-hyper moment." I tell her.

"Well... um... no reason." White blushes.

"Sure." Dawn reposonds sarcastically. From her reaction we can tell that she likes him. She can tell by the look on our face's that we know.

We continue to tease White about N as we walk.

We make it to school a few minutes before the bell. White uses this time to check what Form Class she'll be in this year. Dawn and I found out on the last day of school last year. This year we'll be in the same class again.

RIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!

The bell echoes throughout the school. It signals the start of Form. Dawn and I walk towards our new class for the year. Once at the room, we stand at the back trying to find two desks together. We can't but there is one in front of the other. That'll do. We head over and sit at them. Dawn sits at the desk in front of mine. Next to her is a short black haired boy who I think is named Ash. He's got his head down and randomly drawing on a piece of scrap paper.

Dawn turns around to talk to me. She tries to hold back a laugh by covering her mouth with her hand and turns back to face the front of the room.

"What?" I ask but she doesn't respond.

My phone buzzes in my pocket. It's a text message from Dawn. Why she couldn't just say whatever it is, I don't know.

'Did you not see who you're sitting next to?'

I turn to see the boy next to me. Straight away I can tell who it is, just from the red hair. Out of all the seats in the class why'd I get stuck next to Silver? As if he can tell I'm looking, he turns and looks at me. I stare straight into his eyes. I never noticed before but they were gray. He has no expression on his face so I don't know how to react.

The teacher drops their books on the front desk and breaks my concentration. I break eye contact and look towards the front of the room. The teacher hands a piece of paper with boxes on it to someone in the front row. The paper goes around the room and we all write our names in the boxes the match where we are sitting.

After that the teacher introduces himself as Mr Oak then takes roll call. The bell rings shortly after he finishes and everyone gets up to move to their first class. Dawn and I hang back until everyone leaves so we can talk.

"Don't say anything." I can already tell she wants to say something sarcastic.

"Wasn't gonna." She hides a laugh.

"Eugh. Why him? He's so much trouble." I say as we leave the room and head down the hall towards our first class.

"Maybe it's destiny. You start off as enemies then you tame his bad side and fall in love." Dawn makes kissy noises at me.

"Maybe it's not. It's just bad luck." I say as we reach the door to our first class, Art.

(*1) For all you people who don't know:
Formal: Prom. End of High School Dance. ect.
Schoolies: When us Grade 12-ers graduate then go to the beach and party for a week.

Review please. It makes me feel loved.
