"Morning parter," I greeted, walking around Shane's and I's table in Chemistry and sitting next to him, both of leaning in for a quick peck. This had become our daily routine, mostly because we barely got to see each other except for Chemistry, physical education every other week and lunch.

Other than that we were inseperable after classes. It was pretty big news that the Dean's son, an Untouchable had the most unlikely girlfriend. Yup, me. This was like dating a rockstar or actor, all their fans hated the person they were dating. That being me, all of the girls that had ever wanted to get with Shane wanted to rip my throat out and feed me to the lions.

High school girls are indeed crazy.

"Morning Mitch," Shane said, a grin lighting up his face.

"Alright class, settle down. Good to have you all back in class. I hope you all had a great vacation, time to switch things up. New units, experiments and best of all, new seating arrangements," Mr. Saporta said, his voice laced the lame sarcasm he was well known for.

I frowned at the idea of switching seats. I was pretty sure that no one else in class would give me the answers to tests that I had forgotten to study for like Shane always did. But I tried to not make a big deal about it, it was only movie seats, plus I would still be able to see Shane and that was all I cared about.

"Miss Torres, up here," Mr. Saporta said, slapping the table top of the front desk.

"He hates me." I mumbled to Shane who chuckled. I gathered my books and walked up to the front desk, another hand coming in contact with mine as I tried to pull out a chair. "Oh, hey it's you," I said, looking up that the sandy haired boy I had seen just yesterday.

"Hey, Mitchie. Small campus," Colby chuckled, pulling out the chair and motioning for me to sit.

"Totally," I agreed, taking the seat.

"So you wanna take a crack at this?" Colby asked, flicking his sandy hair out of his face and handing me a paper with our Chemistry.

I laughed softly and read over the project we were supposed to work on. "Just a little heads up..we may die,"

"Well, thanks for the warning," Colby chuckled, handing me a pair of goggles before putting on his own pair and setting out all the chemicals we needed.

"So, what is a boy like you doing all the way out here in England?" I asked, guessing that he probably wasn't from this country. That and he seemed totally Midwest.

"I'm gonna call it Parent Trap syndrome," he laughed.

"Care to explain," I giggled, measuring out a green liquid.

"Well, my mother and father had a little..fling when my mother went to Paris for a graduation gift. She went back home to the state and well..you kinda can figure out the rest." Colby chuckled, pouring one liquid into another beaker.

I laughed, only because he did. And I thought my parents divorcing and my dad sticking me here was bad. Geez.

"So anyways, I came to see my dad and my dad sent me here. Great man huh?" he said sarcastically.

Now, I had nothing to say. Well, nothing rude or stupid to be exact.

"I was just kidding..my dad got transferred out here with his company. My parents have been married for over twenty years..I'm from Iowa."

"Seriously? You dirty little liar," I said, shoving his shoulder, causing him to drop the test tube into the beaker filled with who knows what.

The concoction started to foam over, making Colby instantly drop the beaker of foaming whatever fall to the ground and instantly break.

"So..I hear we don't have any science classes for the rest of the week..Mitchie," Caitlyn laughed, looking over the lunch table at me.

I put my hands up in defense, a laugh escaping my lips. "I didn't know what we were messing with."

"They had to evacuate the science department," Ella said seriously.

I rolled my eyes and shrugged, they should have been grateful. There's no science classes for a week!

"Hey girls," The boys chorused, leaning down to their own girl and kissing our left cheek in synch.

I love this school.

"Hey guys," we greeted, not together of course. We're just not that cool.

But yes, girls; be envious. It only took us a couple of months but we each snagged an Untouchable. Life is sweet.

"Mitch, I owe you. Totally got me out of a Science test on Thursday," Jason said, sitting down next to Ella.

"See, why can't you guys be a grateful as Jason, and it wasn't even my fault. The Colby kid went all, my life is the parent trap them boom! No it's not, I'm from Iowa and got the perfect family. I mean, what the fuck? Who does that?"

Shane rolled his eyes and shook his head, "What a douche. I don't like this guy, he's bad news," he said.

"Aw, is Shane jealous?" Nate teased.

Shane gave him that, are you serious? Look. "I am not jealous, I'm just saying he seems like a shmuck and like Mitchie said, who pulls that kind of crap?"

"Isn't that him talking to Tess?" Caitlyn asked, pointing behind me.

I turned and saw that it was indeed Tess and Colby talking very closely. And that, now that was the beginning of it all.

Another filler crap chapter; but I promise, the next one will come sooner and actually start getting into the good stuff. I'm not going to give up this story because this is my baby and I fully intend on finishing it and maybe adding a sequel. Who knows?

So if you read my other story Everything But Normal you'd know that my birthday is December first and all I really, really want is a Jitchie/Kemi oneshot, and Nick Jonas on mah bed. So if anyone were to step up and do that for me, I'd pretty much love you forever.

Thanks to those who read and reviewed the last chapter. Much love. Next chapter at 315-320ish.

x, Maria.
