Okeydoughkey. This story is about to get complicated. But not so complicated where you're 'like what????' just like 'YOU BETTER UPDATE OR I WILL EAST ALL YOUR COOKIES AND KILL YOU!!!' cause all the people are like 'ill give u a cookie if u review' at the end of their chapters.

Disclaimer: I hurts when you trip UP the stairs. Same thing DOWN.

"I swear on Ralph Lauren that is exactly what I saw. They kissed." Said Alicia to Massie as Massie re-glossed for the fourth time that period.

"You do know we have to squash her before she squashes us." Said Kristen as she re-did her hair into a high ponytail.

"Just let me think." Said Massie as she rubbed the sides of her head with three fingers.

The girls stood quietly as Massie thought, really gaining control, about the situation.

"I am not going to become a LBR." Said Dylan when she couldn't stand the silence.

"That is why, I have a plan." Said Massie before smirking and walking out of the room, the girls following on her tail.

Derrick POV

Why? Why, why, why? It was only one class. He had even asked nicely. But, NOO they couldn't get him in her class. It was simply impossible. He stared up at the clock. 20 minutes until class was over. 20 minutes until he could be with Claire again. He could stand one period. The only problem was, Cam AND Massie were in her other class.

"Derrick could you solve the problem on the board please?" Mrs. Samuel's asked as she pointed to the problem.

"Yes. It's…32x 67y." said Derrick as he studied the problem.

15 minutes. Tick, Tick, Tick.

Claire's POV

15 minutes. Mind gnawing. Especially having to sit nest to Massie and Cam!

Seating Arrangement

Massie Claire Cam Kemp Alicia Josh

Layne Meena Chris Kori Olivia Strawberry

As I said Mind Gnawing. Seats away from civilization. Anyway at least Massie isn't trying to kill her.

13 minutes. Tick, Tick, Tick.

Claire looked around the room. Layne was sneaking crystal light like it was coke. Claire thought Meena and Kori were dead and Chris was writing on Meena's arm.

"Are they dead?" Claire accidentally whispered.

Cam looked at her and smiled.

"I think they're just sleeping." He said making her jump.

Cam started laughing and Claire punched his arm.

"S' not going to work. I play sports." Said Cam flexing his muscles for Claire jokingly.

"aghh!" Claire gasped. "you are so full of yourself Cam Fisher."

"Ms. Lyons, Mr. Fisher, I 'd be glad to see you in detention today." Said Mr. Polart before turning back to the board and continuing to write down all the prepositions they had to memorize in order for a test in three days.

Claire raised her hand and Cam gaped at her.

Mr. Polart turned around and showed an amused face.

"yes, Ms. Lyons." He asked.

"I can't come." Said Claire

By now the whole class was gaping at her thinking she was crazy, and brave at the same time.

"And why not?"

"I have another detention." Said Claire.

This got the class talking.

"NO way! Claire doesn't get detentions." Said Kemp

"Yeah! Its mentally impossible for her." Josh continued.

"Nothing's impossible for Claire when it comes to school." Said Chris.

"Except that!" Kori yelled.

"QUIET!" yelled Mr. Polart. "Now I'm sure that Mr. Fisher would like to visit your detention room with everyone else that is in trouble." He said before mumbling," 'cause I don't want to stay after hours."

"Great!" said Claire as she thudded her head down on the table.

2 minutes. Tick, Tick, Tick.

Fast Forward x 3 to the fourth power

Political Economics

Derrick Waited impatiently at the front of the Door. He had already set his books across two desks in the back of the room.

"Dude! Guess what?" said Cam as he walked up to Derrick.

"What?" Derrick said absently mindedly.

"I'm going to ask Claire to get back together!" said Cam.

"What?" said Derrick, his attention caught.

"Yeah. We Got detention together. She was like all over me." Said Cam as he walked into the class.

Claire POV

I was sooo late. I had to stop to get my books and my locker jammed. It took me like five minutes to find the janitor, 5 minutes to open my locker and then…

Derrick had to be soo perfect.

I opened my purse to get a chewy bar and…There was a Tiffany's Box in my purse. I opened it and probably stared at Chain necklace for like 6 minutes. I quickly grabbed it and put it in my purse. When I had finally got my books, I knew I had lost my spot next to Derrick but, maybe I could talk my way to that spot. I quickly shut my locker and ran/jogged to class.

Derrick POV

I walked to the back of the class and put my feet up on the table. I hated Political economics.

She walked into the room and looked towards the back. She smiled, shook her head and chuckled.

"This won't work. Everyone up. I have a seating chart made." She said as the people picked up their books and moved towards the wall. Mrs. Sarlect pulled up the chart on her new promethium board. (It's like this HUGE flat screen TV with little pen's that you use for the Nintendo DS's and you can get onto the internet and Word documents and do everything and more on the board.)

Seating Arrangement

Back

Massie Derrick EMPTY Cam Alicia Kristen

Olivia Kemp Josh Chris Kori Dempsey

Claire EMPTY Griffen Heather Meena

"Ok. Find your spot and sit down." The teacher finished as she sat down at her desk.

"Does it really matter? Don't you randomly choose partners anyway?" Asked Josh as he glanced over at Alicia.

"I guess not but for now, Sit." She said just as Claire came rushing in.

"Ms. Lyons. Thank you for joining us." Said Mrs. Sarlect.

"Sorry, My locker jammed." Said Claire as she scanned the seating chart on the board. Her face fell as she saw she was in the front row and EVERYONE was in the back. She quietly took her place as someone called, "Going for five D's in one day Lyons?"

"OK. How many of you know about how the world survives, or maybe species, or dare I say, relationships?" said Mrs. Sarlect.

Massie, Derrick, Cam, Claire, Josh, and Kristen raised their hands. (a/n JOSH AND KRISTEN ARE NOT DATING! Kristen knows everything about school, remember?)

"Ok. Well here's you chance to learn more, or just learn. You will be partnered for the semester to research and study one of these topics in this jar. Girls will pick from this jar for they're partners and then you will get to work." Said Mrs. Sarlect as she pointed out the appropriate jars. "Claire, Heather, and Alicia, please come and choose a tag from the jar."

All three girls got up and walked to the jar. Alicia plunged her hand in and pulled out a small slip. She opened it up and read the name.

"Kemp Hurley?" Alicia whined as she walked back to her desk.

Next Heather dived her hand in and came back with a slip. She quickly opened it up and read.

"Griffen Hastings?" she said as she crumpled up the slip and threw it on the ground.

Claire looked at the bowl and then at the class. The pairs were already getting paper and pens out waiting for the subject. As she scanned the room Derrick raised his hand.

"Yes, Derrick." Said Mrs. Sarlect

"There's an odd number." Said Derrick.

"No there's not." Said Mrs. Sarlect with a small grin.

Claire breathed in and slowly reached n and out quickly grabbing a piece at random. IT was fairly long and Claire new immediately why there wasn't an odd number. She turned her head to Mrs. Sarlect.

"Really?" said Claire, not excited but afraid.

"Really."

Claire walked to her desk and sat down. She peeked back at Derrick and saw him on the edge of his seat. His face begged, 'Who'd you get?'

She smiled at him a true smile, like it was a good thing and turned around.

"Now, would the boy partners come up and choose a topic from the jar. That means, Griffen, Kemp, and…" said Mrs. Sarlect looking at Claire to finish the sentence, even though she knew exactly who the people were.

Claire looked at her and said clearly, "Derrick Harrington…" she heard a chair scrape from the back. "…and Cam Fisher." She heard…nothing. She turned around and saw Derrick and Cam staring at each other.

"Why don't we have Derrick pick the topic." Said Mrs. Sarlect as Claire gave her a, 'you're not really going to make me do this are you?' look.

Derrick walked up the isle and waited behind Kemp, and Griffen.

They each walked up and grabbed a slip of paper and walked back.

"How animals remain protected in their environments." Kemp read to Alicia.

"Why it is important for species to cross-breed for the survival of the animal world." Griffen read to Heather.

Derrick walked back over to Claire and looked back at Cam. HE was getting his books and Derricks and bringing them to the front. Massie was staring at Claire drumming her fingers on the table.

"How families remain strong and why every perspective from every person counts."

"Ok. Massie, Kristen, and Olivia."

"Chris Plovert?" Kristen said.

"Dempsey!" said Olivia, not even bothering to finish his name.

"Josh Hotz." Said Massie as Josh looked up from his desk.

"OK. Pick your topics and get to work." Said Mrs. Sarlect as she walked to her desk and sat down.

"OK ready to get to work." Said Claire as she pulled out a few sheets of loose-leaf.

"Yeah." Said Derrick as he reached for her purse. He sipped it open and pulled out a pen, but not before noticing a Tiffany's necklace laying at the bottom of her purse.

He sipped it back up and placed it back on top of her books. Claire was looking at him with an, 'I-know-it-was-you' look. He just smiled and pulled some loose leaf from his binder.

"Any ideas?" asked Cam as he stared at his blank piece of loose-leaf.

Claire giggled and looked at both of them. "I think we need to do some research before we can write anything down."

"How are you guys doing?" asked Mrs. Sarlect as she walked over to them.

"I think we need some research first." Said Claire.

"Yeah. That would be good. You could also look for traits among your families that strengthen and weaken the bonds between your relatives." Said Mrs. Sarlect before walking off to a different group.

"So now what do we do?" asked Derrick.

"I dunno. We could raid…" said Derrick before Cam got the idea and finished his sentence.

"Each others binder." He finished as Cam grabbed Derrick's and Derrick grabbed Claire's.

"No fair! I didn't know what we were doing." Said Claire as she pulled Cam's binder towards her.

"Which binder would you have chosen?" asked Cam.

"Mine. It so needs to be cleaned." Said Claire as she opened the cover of Cam's binder.

They all opened the cover and started to comment on the contents of each others binder.

"I want to trade." Said Cam as soon as he had flipped three pages.

"K." Said Claire.

"Fine." Said Derrick.

Cam Gave Claire Derrick's, Derrick gave Cam Claire's, and Claire gave Derrick's Cam's.

"NO fair! Derrick's binder is filled with ONLY math equations. FROM MATH!" she pouted s she flipped past the math section to the tests & quizzes part. "Woah! Derrick's good at math!" she said surprised.

"HEY!" Derrick defended his binder as Claire flipped through all 100 math tests.

"Check this out. Cam's an Ar-tiest." Said Derrick as he turned the binder around to show a pencil sketch of a Stallion rearing up in a show penal.

"Woah! That's good cam!" Claire said as she studied the picture.

"Well, check this out. Claire has an irrational fear of Heights." Said Cam as he showed an entry from Language Arts when the teacher asked them to tell their fears. "And, Skating, and spiders, and a small fear of Pop-outs." Cam finished as he read the paragraph.

"Why skating?" Derrick asked.

"You never know if you'll fall. You might not be caught." Said Claire.

"Hey here's what Cam's afraid of." Said Derrick as he go to the same section. "Cam is afraid of, earthquakes, floods, and being alone." Said Derrick as he read the paragraph.

"Why?" asked Claire.

"With Earthquakes, it's basically like your world is shuddering to a stop and you can't do anything to fix it. Floods because you can drown and not be able to breath, and being alone because…you never know when someone's going to pop out and kill you. And you won't be able to be saved." Cam said as he started to joke around.

"What are you afraid of?" Cam asked Derrick.

"Failing a math test, because then I have to kiss Jenny Olangel, and needles, because they can be not sterile, and because, I mean, they're poking metal into you! Who wants that?" said Derrick as the bell rang and it was time to go.

"Home ec. Here I come." Mumbled Claire and Derrick as they grabbed they're books and headed out the door.

Think about their fears. They're really important. They'll be coming in, n later chapters. Also I need names of guys who are in Bratfest at tiffany's.

Thank you. 2 reviews.
