Heyya!

To answer you: nope, no Night People here. Just humans.

Thanks for the reviews, BTW. :)

Chapter 1

RPOV

"...and this year, we will be having a – and you are?" Miss What's-Her-Face asked, looking at Rashel and Keller over her spectacles.

"Rashel Jordan, ma'am." Rashel said, smiling.

"Raksha," Keller drawled, "but call me that, I promise you that I won't let you live through – "

"Yeah, we'll go take a seat now, 'kay?" Rashel interrupted, pushing Keller to the seat at the very back, while Keller rolled her eyes.

"What was that for? Idiots have to be thought, 'sis."

"That was our teacher."

Silence.

"Point?" Keller asked lazily.

"You are so impossible, Kelly." It was a priviledge. Only Rashel could call her that and live. But never tell the tale, of course.

"Why, thank you, Shelly." Keller grinned.

QPOV

"Hey, you see the new chicks?" Ash poked Quinn, who was practically snoring.

…

Hey, homeroom's not even near interesting.

"No. Don't really care, personally."

"You will. Just look." Urgh, Ash is so stubborn.

Quinn opened one eye and looked in the general direction of where Ash was looking.

Two girls, dark hair, completely identical.

"The one with green eyes is cute. Now will you let me go back to sleep?" Quinn asked, closing his eye again.

He could practically feel Ash staring at him.

"How can you tell she has green eyes? And they look completely the same!"

Apparently, Ash decided to play 'big-mouthed idiot' because she looked up, shock in her eyes.

RPOV

"Hi! My name's Poppy!" A redhead said enthusiastically in homeroom. "And this is my brother, Phil!"

The taller blonde boy next to her smiled, raising his hand. "Pleasure."

"Hey, my name's Jez," another redhead had said, smiling, her silvery-blue eyes practically glowing.

"Galen," a blonde boy told them, sticking his hand out for them to shake. "Nice to meet you."

"Delos Redfern," a black-haired boy said, polite in his own cold way.

"Looks like we'll have someone to sit with in lunch, 'Shel!" Keller said in her fake eager voice.

"You never know when to stop, do you, Kell'?" Rashel grinned.

"'Course I do. I just prefer not to."

"...and of course, you'll be all – and who are you?" Miss What's-Her-Face asked in an exasperated tone.

"Mary-Lynette Carter, miss," a curly-haired girl panted, eyes shockingly blue and slightly wild at the moment.

"Take a seat, Miss Carter."

Mary-Lynette quickly hurried to look for a seat. The only one available was the one between Rashel and the loud-mouth blonde.

"H-hi. Do you mind if I sit here?"

"Not at all," Rashel said, smiling kindly.

"Not at all," the blonde said, looking at her. "Hi, I'm Ash."

Mary-Lynette looked him over once and said, "sorry, I don't date man-whores."

Poppy giggled her sparkling laugh and practically danced over to Mary-Lynette.

"I know I'm going to like you," she sang.

M-LPOV

"Please, don't try to deny the fact that you totally want me."

"Yeah, I want you...to stay the heck away from me. Who knows what kinds of diseases you have."

"It's not my fault all the girls want me. I don't see why you should be any different, M'lyn."

"I'm Mary-Lynette, and I'm not like most sluts who cling to every hot guy they see."

"HA! You admitted I'm hot!"

"Did I say that? I don't remember myself mentioning Ash the hot guy!"

"You were so thinking it."

"Whoa, mind-reader now?"

"Always was."

"I don't think you can even read your own mind."

"I so can."

"Prove it."

"I'm thinking that one day in the future, you're gonna fall head over heals for me."

Silence.

"You are so pathetic, Ash."

"I know you love me."

"Get up and I'll show you how much I love you."

Throughout the whole week, Ash was seen with a severe limp.

RPOV

"I'm Keller. Call me Raksha one more time and I promise you'll have to learn how to sleep with your eyes open, pretty boy."

"But, Raksh – I mean, Keller. Happy?"

"Nothing you ever do will make me happy, wuss."

"But – "

"Quit it," Keller spat, looking completely indifferent to the boy who's obviously already head over heals for her.

Keller, Keller, Keller.

Blind, oblivious Keller.

Rashel sighed, placing her thumb and index finger on the bridge of her nose.

The dark-haired boy was looking at her again.

Well, more like staring.

And it was him. The boy from prom.

Rashel frowned and turned to look at him full in the face.

He looked startled for a minute, before smiling the Mad Hatter grin he had used that night.

"Nice to meet you," he mouthed to her, his smile widening slightly.

So...review, please! Prettay please with a cherry on top? Ten cherries? Pleeeeease? o.O
