Ohmygosh! It's me! And I'm updating! Gasp! I know after reading yesterday's update you guys were probably like, "Great, she updated. Now we get to wait another 4 months for her to update again." But, dear readers, you are mistaken! I usually update when I'm not busy and nobody's on the computer so it just so happens that my familia are out and I have some peace and quiet to update for you guys! Yay! Now, I don't think this chapter's going to be anything too intense and dramatic but I hope you guys like it all the same! Now, on with the story!

The first day of school was finally here. Mary-Lynette groaned as Mark came into her room to get her up. She could smell the breakfast Claudine was making downstairs for them. Her dad and step mom had gotten back from their vacation two days before just in time for the beginning of the school year. Mary-Lynette took a quick shower and blow dried her mass of brown curls before moving onto her closet to decide on what to wear. She settled for a pair of light wash skinny jeans and a white t-shirt that had lace all down the back. She slipped on a pair of plain white ballet flats, brushed her teeth and then went downstairs to have breakfast.

She found Mark and her father already having breakfast and Claudine at the stove making scrambled eggs for her dad who was also reading the newspaper.

"Morning dad." She said kissing her dad on the forehead and ruffling her younger brother's hair, much to his displeasure. She sat down at the table and wolfed down a bowl of Frosted Flakes and a glass of orange juice before grabbing her cell phone, school bag and keys and heading out the door.

"C'mon Mark! We're gonna be late!" she called to her brother who then came racing out behind her.

"Bye kids, have a good day!" her father called before the two of them drove away.

The parking lot was almost full when they pulled in and Mary-Lynette saw that the others were already there. Everybody stared at her and her brother as they walked up to Ash, Jade, Kestrel, Phil and Blaise. Ash smiled at her and gave her a light sweet kiss before the bell rang. Phil, Ash and Blaise all went to the main office to pick up their schedules while Mark, Mary-Lynette, Kestrel and Jade headed off to class. As Mary-Lynette walked into first period Biology, she stopped and looked around at everybody talking and catching up. She sighed. Today was her last, first day of high school. She was glad to be going. These last four years had passed by sluggishly. Especially last year. She was glad Ash was back now. Just as she thought that, the teacher came bustling into the room and everybody took a seat. Mary-Lynette sat all the way in the back and zoned out as the teacher started the attendance. She looked up however when the door to the classroom opened and Blaise strutted in. Blaise smiled at her and Mary-Lynette immediately felt better. At least she'd have somebody to talk to in this class.

Blaise gave the teacher a slip to sign and went to sit at Mary-Lynette's biology teacher.

"Hey!" she smiled.

Mary-Lynette grinned, "How's your schedule?"

Blaise rolled her eyes, "I have Algebra next if that tells you anything."

Mary-Lynette laughed and they both became silent as the teacher started the lesson. Throughout the whole class, pretty much every guy in the class stared at Blaise. Mary-Lynette sighed and shook her head. Boys. They had shorter attention span than flies and they had absolutely no manners. Didn't anybody ever tell them that it's rude to stare? I mean sure Blaise was gorgeous but it was still rude. Blaise for her part ignored them all and the two of them talked quietly through most of the class.

The rest of Mary-Lynette's morning classes were ok, she had Spanish with Phil and U.S History with Kestrel and everybody had lunch together. As soon as the bell signaling lunch rang, Mary-Lynette raced out of the classroom and to lunch where she met Ash. She smiled when she saw him and he grabbed her in a bear hug before going over to the table where Phil, Mark and Jade were already sitting. Kestrel and Blaise came soon after and for the rest of the lunch period, their table was the object of many stares. The rest of the day went by rather uneventfully. Mary-Lynette had a few classes with Ash and the others as well. She breathed a sigh of relief as the final bell rang and she began packing up her stuff.

'One day down, only 9 more months to go' she thought, before walking out to her car.

Ok, so I know this wasn't much but it's just kind of a filler chapter. I hope you guys liked it! Also, I think because I updated again, I should get more reviews (hint, hint). Just saying! Suggestions would be great as well! And to my reviewers who reviewed the last chapter. . .

Kim: Thanks for your suggestion! I'm thinking about how I'm going to work them in later ;)

Danielle-redfern: Thanks! I hope you're proud of me and my recently improved updating skills!

Nightgirl25: Why thank you! And thank you for reviewing as well!

Starr1095: That's actually a really good idea! I think I might work that in there and make them think that she is, but she's really not . . . hmm . . . *wheels in head begin to turn*

So thank you to everybody who reviewed last time and please review this chapter! It means sooo much to me to know what you guys think! I don't know when I'm going to update again but hopefully it'll be soon! Thanks loads!
