One Week had passed and school was back in session at Port Charles High. Lulu Spencer entered the school and immediately spotted her best friend and squad co-captain Maxie Jones.

Lulu smiled at her friend whose blond hair had been died a light brown color.

"New semester new hair Max," Lulu said.

"I needed a change," Maxie said, "so how was your vacation...Carly and you come up with a new routine for regionals it's only two weeks away."

"I cheered," Lulu said, "dad made me go out and snowboard it was pretty fun actually."

Maxie nodded and looked down the hallway at the two teens approaching them.

Logan Hayes was one of the most popular guys at PCH, well the most popular non jock anyway. He was the guy that made the Drama Club look cool. He had a confident swagger to his step as he walked passed the girls, his half sister Serena Baldwin at his heels. He winked at the girls causing Lulu to roll her eyes. It was clear that Logan had a major crush on Lulu but she wasn't interested.

"I see the ice prince has returned," Lulu said after the duo passed.

"I can only guess what he did over vacation," Maxie said, "probably shopping for mirrors."

Lulu laughed at her friends comment as they headed over to their first period class.

As the girls walked by Cooper Barrett watched them. He didn't get the mob mentality of the popular crowd and was glad that he was labeled an outsider.

Soon the hallways were cleared except for three figures.

"I'm sure you'll like it here at Port Charles High Mr. Spinelli," the principal said.

The young boy simply nodded. This was the second semester of his junior year and he was transferring to a new school. Sure he didn't have friends back in Tennessee to miss but still he hated the fact of starting over. He looked at his granny who smiled at him.

"I promise Damian," she said, "I won't drag you around anymore...this will be your last school till you graduate."

He nodded though she said this the last time he had to transfer schools.

The old woman leaned over to kiss the boy goodbye but he made a face.

"Sorry," she said, "I know"

The final bell rang signaling class was in session as Damian made his way into Mr. Marquez's class. Pete Marquez was a struggling actor who got his teaching degree as a back up plan. He was the faculty sponsor of the drama club and constantly let it be known that the theater held a special place in the young man's heart.

"Welcome back to another fascinating semester," Marquez said, "auditions for the winter musical will be tomorrow during free period."

Logan looked at Serena and smiled. He knew that the leads were in the bag for them.

"And we can always use more participants for the scholastic decathlon," Marquez continued, "talk to Cooper Barrett if you want more information on that."

Cooper raised his hand to show the rest of the class who he was.

Suddenly the sound of a cell phone ringing caught the teacher off guard.

"I see the dreaded cell phone menace has returned," Marquez said, "Logan, Serena, cell phones...and I will see you two in detention."

Serena pouted and rolled her eyes at Logan. Clearly Marquez wasn't playing favorites this semester.

He then noticed Damian texting and he rolled his eyes

"Cell phone," Marquez said, "and welcome to Port Charles High Mr. Spinelli I'll be getting to know you more in detention."

He looked over at Lulu who was looking at said text smiling.

"Miss Spencer," Marquez said, "I see you want an invitation to our little party."

"Mr. Marquez," Maxie said, "Lulu can't have detention...we have practice, regionals are coming up."

Marquez didn't care about that. He simply shook his head at the girl.

"That will be fifteen minutes for you Miss Jones," Marquez said.

"I don't think she can count that high," cooper was whispering to the student sitting next to him.

"Ok Mr. Barrett I see you'll be joining us as well," Marquez said, "anyone else."

The room went silent and Marquez began his lesson.

When class was over Lulu stood by the classroom door waiting for Damian to leave.

"Blonde One," Damian said smiling.

Lulu assumed he was referring to her and smiled back.

"Damian oh my god," Lulu said, "I don't believe it."

"Me neither," Damian said, "You know I looked for you at the lodge New Years Day."

"I left first thing in the morning," Lulu said, "so what brings you to Port Chuck."

"My granny got a transfer and dragged me along," Damian said.

"Well I'll try to make the transition as smooth as possible," Lulu said.

"The Jackal appreciates it," Damian said.

"The Jackal," Lulu questioned him.

He blushed.

"Just a little nickname I call myself," Damian said, "it's nothing realy."

"I think it's cute," Lulu said as they continued to walk down the hall passing the musical sign up sheet.

Logan came up to the sheet pen in his hand glaring at Damian and Lulu.

"So were you interested in signing up," Logan questioned the new boy.

"Oh no," Damian said, "I'm not going to be doing anything till I'm comfortable with my new schedule."

Logan simply nodded as he signed Logan Hayes and Serena Baldwin to the sheet.

"My sister and I have stared in all the schools productions," Logan said bragging as he put out his hand to attempt to make nice."I'm Logan Hayes by the way but I'm sure you already knew that."

"Damian Spinelli," Damian said shaking the other boys hand before looking at Lulu.

"I've got to go find my next class," Damian said, "I'll see you around Blonde One."

Lulu nodded and watched Damian walk off.

Logan looked at the cheerleader and a smirked at her.

"Cute kid," Logan said.

Lulu just nodded.

"So how are your routines going," Logan asked, "do you think you're going to win regionals."

"Since when do you care about cheerleading," Lulu asked.

"You and I are a lot alike Spencer," Logan said, "you are just so dedicated...like me...now your going to come to my show right."

"Right," Lulu said, "I'll show up at your show as soon as you attend a cheer competition."

"So it's a date," Logan said as the warning bell rang.

Lulu headed to class with a disgusted look on her face. She had to tell Maxie about this latest Logan encounter the next chance she got.

OK so I'm mixing the actual HSM plot with a few original ideas as far as character interaction goes. The Next song would be 'Get Your Head in the Game' but seeing as it's about basketball and the character in this case is a cheerleader should I still use part of it for that scene or use a different song...

Ok so if you couldn't tell Marquez was Darbis, Logan was Sharpay, Serena was Ryan, Maxie was Chad, and Coop was Taylor...
