Walking into the classroom, Aaron couldn't help but roll his eyes when he sees two of his best friends in a quiet argument. "I swear you two argue and bicker like a married couple." He tells them, taking a seat in between them.

"This is a serious argument Aaron, not just us bickering at each other." Dave tells him.

Deciding to humor Dave, he asks "What are you two arguing about?"

Not giving Dave a chance to answer Aarons question, Jason says "Mr. Randall says that one of us have to pair up with Strauss for Cross Examination this year."

Raising his eyebrows, Aaron says "But you two have been cross examination partners for two years."

"Exactly and Strauss has decided to do Cross Examination instead of Lincoln Douglass this year." Jason tells him.

"It's probably because she is tired of Aaron kicking her ass each year." Dave mutters.

Grinning at what Dave said, Aaron says "We only debate with each other in class, after school, and when practicing, not in competitions. Why is she joining Cross examination this year when she has only ever done Lincoln Douglas?"

Pointing a finger over his shoulder at Mr. Randall, Dave says "Because Mr. Randall is not letting anyone do Lincoln Douglass this year."

"What? No! I don't do cross examination. I only do Lincoln Douglas." Aaron says, shaking his head back and forth.

"Sorry kid but unless you can talk Mr. Randall into changing his mind, all of us aren't going to get what we want." Dave says, grimacing at the thought of having to partner with Erin Strauss.

"Well after class I am talking to him to see if we can change things back to the way they were." Aaron grumbles.

"Please do. I only hope it works, Jason and I both tried to get him to change his mind." Dave says to him.


Seeing Reid walk up to them with his head bowed down and a frown on his face, Penelope says "What's wrong Spencer, you look like someone kicked your dog."

Looking up at her and JJ, Spencer says "I don't have a dog."

Trying to suppress rolling her eyes, Penelope says "I know, I meant why do you look so sad."

"I go a detention." He murmurs.

"You got a detention? It's only the first day of school and you got a detention? YOU and detention don't go in the same sentence." JJ says.

Shrugging his shoulders and looking back down at the floor, he mumbles "The teacher got upset at me."

"Why?" JJ asks.

Scrapping his shoe on the floor, he says fastly "Because he said something incorrect and I told him that he was wrong and he said that he wasn't and then I told him what he said that was incorrect and then we went back and forth for a few minutes and then he told me I have detention."

Sighing, JJ says "Oh Spence will you ever learn."

"Sorry." He murmurs.

Patting his shoulder, Penelope says "No worries boy genius, you can't help it."

"Can we go to lunch now?" he asks.

Penelope looping her arm in one of his arms and JJ looping her arm in his other arm, they both say "Sure let's go."


"Hello beautiful ladies." Morgan says, walking up in between Emily and Jordan and putting his arms over there shoulders.

"Hey Derek." They both say to him.

"How is your day going?" he asks.

"It's the first day of school, so boring." Jordan says to him.

"What about you?" he asks, looking at Emily.

"It's been boring." Emily says to him.

Nodding his head up and down, he says "I agree 100 percent."

Seeing a girl walk by, he whistles in appreciation and then says to Emily and Jordan "Gotta go beautiful ladies." Then turns around and runs after the girl that had just walked by.

Shaking her head and looping her arm in Emily's arm, Jordan says "It's only the first day of school and he is already trying to get girl's phone numbers."

Smiling, Emily says "That's Derek Morgan for you."

"Yes it is." Jordan says, nodding in agreement.

Hearing the one minute bell ring, Jordan says"Well we better get to our classes. Are you still coming over to my house after school?"

"Yup, I have to be home at five though." Emily tells her.

"Kay. Well I will see you after school then." Jordan says before walking off towards her classroom.

And if any of you don't know what Lincoln Douglas and Cross Examination are, they are two forms of debate.

Cross Examination is a two on two debate.

Lincoln Douglas is a one on one debate.
