"So that—Is M.S.A."

Chase leaned back on the guard rail, brushing his dirty blonde hair out of his face.

Andie nodded, staring wistfully at him.

He had quite a nice build.....defined muscles.....

Stop it! Do you not know the meaning of GAY???

"Well," Chase began, "Cambridge Dictionary defines it as a homosexual person, especially a man."

He flashed her a grin.

Andie blushed, "What—,"

"It's ok... I expected people to be curious." This guy seemed almost perfect; she could see why

Sophie was in tears at the news...

"So you can read minds now?" She smiled.

The old saying strikes again......Perfection doesn't happen in available guys does it...?

"Hah! I wish..." a sad expression crossed his face,"Maybe then I could figure out what my dad's thinking..."

"He took the news hard?" Andie looked up at him.

"...You could say that... Does not saying a word to me for over 24 hours count as hard?"

"Ouch."

Chase grinned, "Yeah...But my dad's always been a bit old fashioned."

"If it were up to him, women'd still be wearing poofed up dresses and wouldn't be allowed to

show their ankles."

Andie grinned, "What and you'd prefer otherwise?"

Chase mock shuddered. "You mean a girl showing her ankles??"

Laughing, she flipped upside down in a handstand, waving her ankles in front of his face.

In his part, Chase shrieked, covering his face with his hands. ( Was that at all funny??)

"You know, you seem to be the only normal person at this school." She flipped back.

"Whaddya mean? Everyone here's normal—," Andie pointed to a tall girl, who was slowly emptying

her milk carton into the bin.

"That's just one girl..." He shook his head in disagreement

Andie pointed to another person, walking along.

Suddenly, he 'tripped' sending a tray filled with a disgusting, gray muck, cleanly into the bin.

He then grinned, and walked back in the opposite direction.

"Just...two...."

She pointed yet again to a skinny guy with bushy, black hair, fake strutting around the courtyard.i(MOOOSEE!!:])

He stopped by a group.

"What's up Dan...?...Gator?....See you guys,...Later." Slapping the tallest on the shoulder, he walked off.

The guys stared at each other..."Who was that...??"

Chase laughed, "Alright, alright, so we have a few slightly different—"

Andie snorted.

"—People. But everyone here's cool. You'll love it here, just wait."

Andie raised her eyebrow.

Just a few metres away, she saw a girl grabbing the monkey bars, and just walking from side to side repeatedly.

"So what's your story?" Chase attempted to distract her from what he could see only now.

How abnormal his school really was.

"I just enrolled here so my guardian wouldn't ship me off to Texas..." Andie muttered carelessly, still

staring at the students.

"Ship you off?" He stared at her quizzically

"Yeah, well I'm not exactly the easiest person to look after I guess, and she was just sick of all the

schools that threw me out. She told me this was my last chance, after this, it's 'Yeeee HAWW' land." Andie fiddled

with her nails while talking.

"When you say guardian...?" He asked, laughing.

"My mom died when I was fifteen."

"Oh..I'm—" Andie cut him off.

"Don't say you're sorry...I hate it when people sympathize me...." She had a stronmg, defiant look in her eyes.

Chase could tell she was definitely someone he wouldnt want to mess with...

He shrugged, and for the first time since their meeting, a long silence drifted through them.

"Hey, you guys coming over tonight?" a beefy guy came up to them, jolting Andie from her

daydream.

She looked behind her, who was he talking to?

"Tonight?" Chase looked like he was trying hard not to laugh at Andie's response.

"Yeah. Didn't anyone tell you? My folks are out." The guy looked positively delighted at this news.

"Oh...yeah sure, we'll come...." He answered for Andie, shaking his head as she opened her mouth to

speak.

"Cool. Well, see you two then." The guy sauntered away, stopping at another group.

"We?" Andie muttered as soon as he left.

"Well, it looks like we've got a date tonight!" Chase grinned cheerfully.

"We??" she repeated.

"Yup! That usually means You, and me, or in a larger context, it could mean you, me and a big grou--,"

"We?? I won't know anyone there!!"

"Andie, when someone invites you to a party on your first day, then you have to go. It's like....a

rule..!"

She rolled her eyes, "Yeah well, I've never really been one for rules."

The bell rang signifying end of lunch, "I'll pick you up at 8:30!"

Chase ran off.

"But you don't know my—Address....." Andie stared after him.

Looks like I'll be breaking the rules then...
