Chapter 2 is up already! I just had to put it up! It was driving me crazy! Let me know what you think.

Disclaimer: Cory In The House is not mine! Only Tabby...

Chapter 2

Monday eventually came around and so starts another day at Washington Prep. How lovely.

Meena and Cory arrived to find Newt looking around in the quad, studying each person that entered the campus. Cory and Meena stood on each side of him.

"Looking for something, Newt?" Cory asked, already knowing the answer.

Newt kept his focus. "Not something, someone." he corrected.

"Ah, a girl, perhaps?" a sly smile slipping across Meena's face.

Newt thought for a second. "Maybe..."

"Uh-huh" Cory responded.

Then, he saw her, but she didn't look the way he expected her to. He expected her to be a lot girlier, but from the looks of her, he was wrong. She wore a ripped denim mini skirt with a pair of old, high-top converse. Her shirt was tight at the bottom but loose enough at the top to make it fall off both of her shoulders. It was white with some sort of black and red design covering the front and two thin black straps appeared to be the only thing keeping her shirt from falling down around her waist. A silver, diamond-studded guitar pendant hung from a chain around her neck and her wrists were covered with thin black, red, and white bangles. Her long, blonde hair was let down and her bangs covered most of her right eye. They looked even bluer today, probably because of the thin outline of black eyeliner. Her lips shined, earrings in the shape of black music notes dangled from her ears, and without her gloves, you could see her chipped black nail polish and a few rings.

Newt seemed curious. "Tabby?"

She took notice to the blonde boy. "Oh, hey Newt!" She smiled.

He studied her once more. "You look...different...in a good way. A really good way."

"Uh...thanks?" Tabby said slowly, the smile remaining on her face.

"Hey, aren't you the girl we saw at the ice skating rink?" Meena finally spoke up. "You were so amazing!"

"Thank you!" Tabby beamed. "I'm Tabby."

"I'm Meena and this is Cory. I see you've already met Newt."

Tabby glanced at Newt. "Yeah, we've met."

Cory took a step toward Tabby. "One question. How do you spin around like that without getting dizzy?"

"Just skill, I guess."

Newt was just about to join in the conversation when, wouldn't you know, Stickler showed up. Tabby eyed him carefully. "Who are you?"

Stickler smooth down his slicked back, black hair. "The name's Stickler, Jason Stickler."

She extended her hand for a handshake. "Hi, I'm..."

She was cut off. "Tabitha Trachtenberg." He finished with a know-it-all look on his face.

Tabby let her hand fall and slap the side of her thigh.She looked angry. "It's Tabby," she said with her voice full of annoyance and a sassy look on her face. "How did you know that, anyway?"

"My father is head of the CIA."

"Tabitha?" Everyone turned to a very confused Newt. "I thought your name was Tabby."

Tabby gave a small smile. "Tabby is short for Tabitha."

"Oh." He said, realizing how stupid he must have sounded.

At that point, the bell rang. And after finding out that Tabby had the same class as Cory, Newt, and Meena, they walked off to their lockers. Tabby turned and shot Stickler a warning look before disappearing inside.

Well there you have it! Chapter 2! I'm surprised I got it up this fast. I've been having issues with my writing lately. My mind is already thinking about chapter 4 when I just barely finished chapter 2! It's frustrating...

Anyway, please review and I'll have chapter 3 up soon:)
