Thank you, JellicleSoul635 for the wonderful review, I always love them! Anyways, I hope the rest of you aren't upset about me rewriting this. I'm assuming you don't really care, but hey, you're opinion matters…well, technically. I already deleted it and the files are no longer existent on my computer, so I could really care less if you have a problem with me changing it, but still…

Official Rating: T-M for Language, Possible Violence, Drug/Alchohol Reference, and Teenage Perversion (Giggity!). So, don't cry if the rating suddenly gets bumped up to M. Like I said, this is a HIGH SCHOOL story. 'Nuff said.

With that laid on the table, I feel it's now the time to start this chapter. All right!

'Excited for the new year. Is anybody going to meet me out front tomorrow morning?'

Pressing 'Post', Demeter updated her Facebook status, looking up as she received a friend request. Opening the tab, she read the name. recognizing it instantly. 'Munkustrap Dominick'. She clicked 'confirm', before returning down to her status bar to see four comments, all saying a simultaneous"yes". They came from Rumpleteazer, Amy, Macavity, and…Munkustrap? She smiled oddly at the sudden friendliness of the tabby, but shrugged, commenting back to them all.

'Awesome! I'll see you all there at 7;30.'

She closed the monitor of her laptop, pushing herself out from her desk chair, going over to check her backpack, making sure her supplies were in check. Her backpack was purple, her favorite color, decorated with sentences and signatures from friends, collected from over the summer. She st it by the bedroom door, before looking in her vanity mirror. She wore a lacy black spaghetti strap with green pajama pants. The clock read 9:50. Demeter decided to call it a night, climbing into her bed and clicking the lamp light off, closing her room with darkness as she settled in, and closed her hazel colored eyes.

oooOoOooo

Brushing her teeth, the young calico looked herself over in the mirror, making sure she looked presentable enough for the first day of school. She sprayed on a bit of perfume before walking out of the bathroom, and waiting outside for her boyfriend to pick her up for school. Eventually, as expected, a car pulled up in front, and honked. She walked outside, to see the passenger window rolling down to reveal Macavity sitting in the driver's seat, smiling suggestively as his Demeter entered the car with a grin.

"Hey, Babe. Are you ready for the new year?"
"Yep. All ready."
"Awesome. Hopefully it's better than last year. Bunch of bullshit was what it was."
"Yeah, I guess you could say that" she shrugged, smiling as she took hold of his right hand, driving the familiar streets to Jellicle High.

Upon arrival in the school parking lot, they saw instantly recognizable friends, enemies, and scared freshmen. The pair walked up to the front lawn of the school, on a side stairway. Amy was animatedly bouncing on her feet at the foot of the stairs. Rumpleteazer was in on the stairs, the bottom half of her hidden by the beige concrete wall at acted as the side guard. Perched on the concrete wall was Munkustrap, sitting on it as he talked with Rumpleteazer. Amy appeared to be talking with a male that looked a lot like Rumpleteazer. His name was Mungojerrie. But the blonde looked over at the couple walking towards them and screamed in excitement, running towards Demeter in a crushing bearhug.

"EEEE, Demeter's here! And Macavity!"

"We're here!" choked Demeter, being released from the hug as the rest of the group waved at them, Amy running back to the stairway, grinning wildly. She wore a very short jean shirt and knew high brown boots, as well as a white tank top and black and pink hoodie. Rumpleteazer also made her way down the short stairway to hug her best friend, "Demi! We were almost worried you two weren't gonna make it, weren't we, Munk?"

"Wha-?" said Munkustrap, whirling around to face the calico before shaking his head and smiling, "Right, right. Yeah."

Amy started talking again, rather loudly (if that's not an understatement), draining out anyone else's chances of speaking. Demeter looked over to Munkustrap, who sat on the ledge. He smiled at her, llowering down the frame of his glasses to look at her with his eyes. She smiled back, giving a short wave as the bell rung.

"And then, I wak like, No way, Mom! This isn't even- SHIT!" yelled Amy as the bell rung. She hugged Demeter again before rushing Rumpleteazer towards her class. Munkustrap hopped off the ledge, and strolled his way with Demeter and Macavity, separating to make his way to Media Arts class.

oooOoOooo

After a particularly boring first period of syllabus reading and going over the rules of Physical Science, Demeter made her way to her locker, exchanging what she needed for her English class with her Science things, and putting him into a small shoulder bag. As she put these things into her locker, she noticed a particular tall striped tabby walk up towards her, and open the locker next to her own. She took this moment to look Munkustrap over.

He was significantly taller than herself, that much was obvious. He wore a black button up shirt with the sleves rolled up to his elbow, dark blue jeans, and purple converse. He wore glasses, with slightly thick black frames. He wasn't really buff or overly muscular, but had enough muscle definition for her to clearly notice. What she didn't realize what that he knew she was looking him over, but didn't say anything about it. He looked over in her direction, a smirk and playful tone of voice to match his words, "See anything you like?"

"Maybe," she said innocently, knowing he didn't mean this in an arrogant way, "But that same question goes for you as well."

"Hmm…" he looked her over, before looking back at her face with, still, an ever-playful smile, "Yes."

The way he said it so easily surprised Demeter, especially as he walked past her in the direction of her second period. Snapping out of the small daze, she followed him until she caught up, and kept as his steady pace. She looked up at him from the side, "I see you aren't too shy about speaking your mind."

"That's right."
"I see."

She found it a bit awkward speaking to him, despite the fact that none of it seemed at all awkward to him at all. He was very blunt and straight-forward, at least from first impressions. The way he was quiet, yet confident interested the young calico, and she found herself wanting to spend more time with him. Upon entering the classroom, she saw fifteen or so partner tables, all facing the whiteboard and smart board. Munkustrap sat down at a table in the back corner. Narrowing her eyes, she followed him to it, and sat beside him. He set his backpack down, and turned to face her, resting his chin on a fisted paw.

"Hiya."
"Is there…something wrong?"
"Nope, why?"
"You seem so quiet. Like you don't wanna talk to me."
"That's very…inobservant of you. I'm really interested in talking with you, to be honest."
"Oh…really?" he nodded, "Me too."
"Well go on then."

He smiled at her smartly, folding his hands on the table as her expression witched to a slightly confused one as the teacher took roll silently. She tilted her head to the side, "What do you mean?"

"I mean…tell me about you."
