This is the second chapter of 'Can I Love You?'

Anyway, enough with the chitchat, let's get on with the story, nya~!

Meanwhile, at Townsville High, the students were beginning to arrive to start the day with boring lectures, turning in hill-loads of homework and receiving mountain-loads more. The fresh snow that littered and piled upon the ground was trampled and stomped on as heavy winter boots trudged through the whiteness in order to get into the large school building.

Inside a certain classroom, for sophomores, a small group of students were huddled around four desks, talking and laughing. As you may have guessed, seated at the four desks, were the Rowdyruff Boys. Somehow, they managed to remain just as popular in high school as they were in junior high and elementary school. Of course, it didn't hurt that their father, Joseph Rowdyruff, was the CEO of a small, but very well-known and extremely successful electric company, and their mother, Sarah Rowdyruff, was the assistant of the Mayor of Townsville, meaning that they had a lot of money at their disposal.

Brick still had his shaggy, dark ember-orange hair, which ran down his neck and cut off in jagged cuts right at his broad, toned shoulders, and those blood red ruby eyes, which seem to pierce right into one's soul. And, of course, he still had his signature red cap, which he constantly wore backwards, and no one had ever seen him without his beloved hat, except for his brothers. He had grown so that he was a tall and mighty 6'2, with a muscular and tone body frame and evenly tanned skin.

Butch, being the second eldest, still possessed midnight black hair, which defied gravity and stood up straight in even spikes, adding several tall inches to his already unusual tall natural height, and his hypnotizing forest green eyes, which could turn from a sparkling happy, to a clouded-over anger in a blink of an eye. His 'unusual height' was a towering 6'3 ½ ,even taller than his older brother, with a handsomely toned and muscular body structure and a deep tan, due to all the sports he participated in.

Bruise still had his shaggy, dark umber-brown hair, which he had tied into a tiny little pigtail on the back of his head, and his dark violet purple eyes, which seem to be able to probe around someone's soul, and see if he or she was lying, or had something to hide. He had a mighty height of 6'2 ½, just half an inch shorter than his eldest brother, with an equally lean and muscular body structure, and a lightly sunkissed complexion.

As always, the Rowdyruff Boys were four complete sex gods, with all the girls within Townsville High drooling after them, and even several of the boys, which the Rowdyruff Boys found simply creepy.

Butch leaned back into his hard, little chair and threw his hands in the air, glancing out the window, "Aw man, it just had to snow today! I wanted to cream Mitch's team in soccer again today, like I do every day!" Bruise rolled his eyes, "Like you said, you cream him everyday. Why not show some pity and let him retaliate for today? Besides, Mom's gonna freak if you come home dirty and drip all over her clean carpet."

Boomer laughed at his elder brother's pouting face, while the girls in the little 'popular' group sighed dreamily, "You look like a big baby, Butch!" The blond then had to dash out of his chair and began running around the classroom as his angry ravenette brother chased him, calling out something about 'ripping out his manhood.' After all, Butch Rowdyruff was the manliest of the four brothers. It wounded his masculine pride to be called a 'baby,' especially a big one.

Brick and Bruise simply gave their immature brothers a casual, nonchalant glance before turning their attention back to their own business. Catherine, one of the few female populars that the Boys accepted into their little posse, was currently reading the currant issue of the most popular magazine in Townsville, Kan-Kan Kura, along with two of her friends, Robin and Angelina, also, two female populars that the Boys accepted into their group.

Bruise spoke, "'Ey, Catherine, what'cha readin'?" The girl, possessing dark black hair held back with a golden headband, and light brown eyes, glanced up and smiled, "This month's issue of Kan-Kan Kura! They're featuring the winter collection of the Chanel brand! And, the Four Queens are modeling for them!" At the mention of the Four Queens, the entire class completely dropped what they were doing and swarmed around Catherine and her magazine, "OMG, it really is the Four Queens!" They're so hot!" "I love Blossom!" "Bloom is so cool and mysterious, kya~!" "Buttercup's so sexy, her legs are so long!" "Bubbles looks like an angel!"

Butch and Boomer walked over, only Boomer's hair was totally messed up and his clothes was slightly mussed up, but other than that, he was fine. Butch plopped down into his chair, "Hey, what're they all lookin' at?" Brick spoke, "This month's issue of Kan-Kan Kura. Apparently, the Four Queens are staring in it, modeling for the Chanel clothing brand this time." Boomer bolted up from his fussing over his hair, "No way, really? I heard that producers literally fight each other to get a chance to star the Four Queens in their T.V. show or magazine!"

Bruise lazily turned his gaze towards his oldest brother, "That's right. Doesn't Mom keep every copy of any magazine that has the Four Queens in it? She also tapes all the T.V. shows that features them too." Butch rolled his eyes, "What I wanna know is why these Four Queens are so special." His three brothers stared at him as if he suddenly changed into a frilly pink Lolita dress and began to sing 'Twinkle twinkle little star,' "Wh-What..?"

Boomer got right up into his ravenette brother's face and began to lecture, "The Four Queens are literally the queens of the entertainment industry. They're like angels in human bodies; they're that beautiful! Bruise deadpanned, while Brick face-palmed and Butch simply stared at his brother like he was an idiot, "Boomer, how… do you know all this?" The blond suddenly realized what he was doing and retreated, a fierce blush painted upon his face.

Brick saw that Butch was ready to tease the living hell out of Boomer again, and decided to cut him some slack, for the day, anyway. He turned his head over to the crowd still swarming around the Kan-Kan Kura magazine and called out, "Hey, Butch here doesn't know who the Four Queens are. Enlighten him." The crowd suddenly shut up, and slowly turned their heads to face the ravenette, with a terrifying glint in their eyes. Before the poor ravenette Rowdyruff could blink, he was surrounded by girls and boys alike, all shouting and screeching, trying to explain who the Four Queens are, what they did, and what made them so desirable.

Bruise laughed as Butch did his best to fend off all the swarming people, "Nice one, Brick." The orangette simple smirked his signature 'I-know,' smirk.

"Hey, are they the Four Queens?" "Hm, now that you mention it, they do have a strong similarity." "Yea, they have orange, brown, black and blond hair." "And look at their clothing and jewelry. It all looks so… expensive." "You don't really think that…" "Naw, why would such rich and hot celebrities be wandering around here?" "Hm, yea, you're right. They'd probably be walking through a private park, or something." Bloom sighed with relief that the people decided that they weren't who they really were, and were simply four regular girls on a walk. Girls with expensive clothing and bling-bling.

It was late in the afternoon, and the Girls had finally finished the Chanel shoot. Having been working hard since 6 o'clock in the morning, and since that it was 5 o'clock in the afternoon, you could imagine just how tired they were. Bubbles sighed, "Can we eat something? I know that we have to keep our figure and all, but even queens have to eat." Buttercup groaned, "She's right. I'm starving. I feel like I'm gonna collapse right here on the street."

Bloom adjusted her diamond-embedded sunglasses as she glanced around, and spotted a small, cozy little pizza parlor, "Hey, how about some pizza? I can't even remember the last time we had pizza." Blossom checked her silver watch, "Hm, we have time before Dad comes calling for us. Sure, why not?" The girls made their way into the parlor, and were immediately shown to a good table. Again, the other customers began to whisper how 'similar those girls were to the Four Queens,' but since all four of them had sunglasses on, no one could really tell.

Seating themselves, Bloom called over a waiter, and casually called out, "A large pizza with pepperoni and extra cheese, four Coca Colas and a large order of fries. Thanks." The others sighed helplessly as yet another innocent man fell victim to the brunette queen's seductive charm and characteristics. Bloom smirked impishly as the poor, flustered waiter dashed away, a fierce blush upon his face, "Easy men like him are always fun to play with."

Blossom rolled her eyes as she removed her black leather gloves and tucked them into her pocket, "Now, now, Bloom, no need to get too carried away. We're only here to eat dinner, then it's back home." Buttercup nodded, leaning into the backrest of the settee, "Remember, we have to model for the Angelique jewelry brand tomorrow, and don't you remember just how big those collections can get?" Bloom groaned, she remembered alright, and it wasn't exactly one of her favorite modeling memories. It took two whole hours just to model all the different rings once.

Soon, their meal arrived, and the waiter did his best to catch Bloom's attention, balancing the food unnecessarily high above his head, how elegantly his placed it down and just how 'smooth' he could talk. But, the brunette simply smiled and thanked him for his service before munching on a slice of pizza. She laughed when the man sulked away slowly, a depressed aura surrounding him.

Bubbles swallowed her mouthful of cheesy pizza and smiled brightly, "Mmm, that tastes so good~! So yummy and gooey, unlike all the refined food we eat at all those five-star restaurants." Buttercup grinned, "Exactly. You can keep your foi gras, you've gotta have pizza for the win!" The girls simply enjoyed their dinner in peace, loving the warm, family feeling that the pizza parlor gave off, instead of that cold, fake atmosphere that most five-star restaurants gave off, with all their famous, fancy and wealthy customers.

As the girls finally finished their dinner, Bloom's phone rang from her pocket. She picked it up and checked the caller ID, arching an elegant brow in a confused manor. Blossom finished off her soda, "Who is it, Bloom?" The brunette pressed the freen 'answer' button and turned it to speaker phone, with the volume low enough so that only the girls could hear, "Its… Dad…"

Buttercup glanced at her black digital watch, "Huh? It's still 5: 30, we have until 9 before we have to head home. Why'd he call now?" Bubbles tilted her head, "Well, whatever it is, it has to be very important. He knows that if he calls during a shoot, that could cause problems." Suddenly, John's voice rang out, "Girls, are you done talking? Because I'm still here, you know?" Blossom chuckled nervously, while the others just looked horrified, "Yes, we hear you Dad. So, what is it that you want to talk to us about?"

The man cleared his throat, "I was just talking with your manager, as well as several of the producers. It turns out that after your Angelique jewelry shoot, it'll be quite a bit of time before they had another major shoot or show for you to take on. All the other ones are big, but nothing that pros like you can't handle in a couple of hours." Buttercup questioned, "You mean, we get to have… a holiday?" John chuckled at the excited tone his daughter used, "Yes, but due to your age, and the law of Townsville, it's said that teenagers your age have to be in school. So, I've decided to sign you up at Townsville High School."

The girls remained silent for a second before screaming at the top of their lungs, "WHAT!"

That's chapter 2. I'm sorry if it seems likes a rush job, but, now is where the story really begins, when the Girls attend the same school as the Boys do.
