The school day ended as Carly entered the gym looking at the squad doing warm ups.

She spotted Brooklyn Ashton and looked the dark haired girl in the eye.

"Where's Lulu and Maxie," she asked.

"Detention," Brook said.

Carly rolled her eyes.

'Why is Pete torturing me?'

It was known thought the school that Caroline Spencer and Peter Marquez had been an item back in the day. It was the past relationship between the two faculty members which created this rivalry.

"Brook run practice," Carly said, "I have an ex boyfriend to yell at."

Carly stormed out of the gym and headed toward the auditorium.

Meanwhile in the auditorium Pete had his detention students painting sets for his musical. To Logan and Serena this wasn't too bad a torture because they were already active members in the Drama Club. They sat in the corner painting while chatting with Marquez about their personal ideas for the show.

Suddenly Cooper headed over to where Damian was painting and smiled.

"Yes," Cooper said, "I' love to have you on our team."

"Excuse me," Damian said.

Cooper held up a piece of paper which had printed on it an article about Damian's past scholastic achievements.

"The Scholastic Decathlon," Cooper said, "I'm Cooper Barrett by the way, Chem. Club President and currently number one in the junior class..Though apparently I now have some competition."

"Where did you get that," Damian asked.

"You mean you didn't send it," Cooper questioned.

"No," Damian said, "and I'm sorry but I can't be on your team...I don't want to get involved in school activities till I get settled in."

"Well then how about hanging out with me at Kelly's after detention," Cooper asked, "can you swing that?"

"That," Damian said, "the Jackal can manage."

Cooper assumed that The Jackal was Damian so he nodded and got back to the work he was doing.

Carly entered the room and rolled her eyes as she spotted her girls in a cardboard tree looking bored.

"What are my girls doing in a tree Marquez," Carly asked.

"Caroline," Marquez said, "your girls have to do the time seeing as they did the crime."

"What crime is that," Carly asked, "being a cheerleader because you obviously have some kind of vendetta against cheerleaders after one broke up with you."

"First of all I broke up with you," Marquez said, "second that was years ago."

"So the crime," Carly asked.

"Lulu was texting in class," Marquez said, "and Miss Jones talked back to me."

"I'll take care of them from here," Carly said, "make them run a few laps around the gym for punishment...so can they go."

Pete knew that Carly wouldn't get off his case until he said yes so he simply nodded.

"Thank You," Carly said," Ladies let's go."

Lulu and Maxie gladly climbed down and headed with their coach back to the gym.

"Unbelievable," Logan whispered to Serena.

After Detention Damian followed Cooper to a small diner.

"So how did you like your first day at Port Charles High," Cooper asked as the waitress placed an order of fries, a cola, and an orange soda on the table.

Damian shrugged.

"Same as the first day's at all my other schools I guess," Damian said.

"How many schools have you been to," cooper asked curiously.

"Allot," Damian said, "I mean my Granny is a nurse..They're not the kind of professionals that get transfers every six to eight months right."

"Maybe she's a secret agent or something,' Cooper suggested.

"The jackal would have known about that," Damian said.

"Their you go with that Jackal thing again," Cooper said, "What is that."

"Just what I call myself," Damian said, "anyway the girls at this school they seem nice."

"If you go for sheep," Cooper said.

"What do you mean," Damian asked.

"Everyone has their little clique," Cooper said.

"Lulu Spencer seems nice," Damian said.

"Lulu is the worst of them all," cooper said, "head cheerleader...guys at the school want her but they can't have her."

"Oh," Damian said disappointed.

"You like her don't you," Cooper asked.

"Is it obvious," Damian said embarrassed.

Cooper nodded.
