Goby didn't know everyone, but he knew a good amount of people. That's basically what being semi-popular is, your not popular, but your not a 'nobody' either. There are only a few 'semi-populars' in the school, and Goby was one of them. But you never knew where you actually were in the social pyramid. You could be inching towards full popularity, or inching away from it. As far as Goby knew, he was inching closer. Everyday he would meet someone new, and he would just get this feeling that he was getting closer and closer to the top. Not that it was any big deal to Goby.

As Goby walked into the science classroom, he was swarmed by a wave of 'hellos' and 'what's up'. He greeted everyone and swiftly made his way toward his seat.

" I see someone's getting mighty popular, " Goby looked to his right, facing his best friend John. Goby had been best friends with John for as long as he could remember, which wasn't very far. They had met in fourth grade, during recess.

" Whatever, " Goby smiled, doodling some more in his notebook. A while later there was a ruckus at the door. Goby and John both looked up and saw a crowd of people welcoming a blue-haired male.

" Who's that? " Goby asked his friend.

" Dude, you don't know who that is? " John shook his head, the lowered his voice until it was a faint whisper.

" That's Gil Gordon, the most popular guy in school. Everyone loves him, even the teachers! " John said, rolling his eyes. " Which is surprising, considering his grades..." Goby looked up the boy, who had already taken his seat next to John.

" He's also twins with one of the most popular girls in school, " John continued. And right on cue, a girl waltzed in, Chloe right by her side. " Deema. " Goby turned his attention to the girl, who was walking over to her look-alike. Goby's heart skipped a beat as the girl made eye contact with him. She smiled, giving the lovestruck male a slight wave. Goby waved back, the looked down at his desk.

The teacher suddenly appeared in front of everyone, signaling class to begin. The period droned on as their teacher, Mr. McDonald, talked about the class and what they would be doing. From dissecting frogs, to mixing chemicals, he promised that this would be an 'exciting' year to remember.


Nonny sat in the corner of the library, reading one of his favorite books for the fifth time. No one ever comes to this spot, so it was always reserved for Nonny. That's how Nonny spent his sixth period, alone and in a corner. Actually, that's how Nonny spent most of his classes. Since no one would ever talk to him, he would always be alone.

" Uh, excuse me, is this spot taken? " Nonny looked up from his book, his eyes connecting with a purple-haired female. She motioned to the bean bag next to him. Nonny nodded, looking back down at his book.

" I'm Oona, " She said, after a long pause. Nonny looked up from his book again, shaking her outstretched hand. " What's your name? "

" Nonny, " He said quietly. She nodded, smiling at the shy ginger.

" Your cute! " Oona said, her smile widening. Nonny paused a look of confusion spreading across his face.

" Uh, thank...you? " Nonny said, making his statement sound like more of a question. The bell for sixth period rang and the two stood up, looking awkwardly at one another.

" I guess I'll see ya later then? " Oona asked before leaving the library. Nonny nodded slowly. Oona smiled, skipping down the hall. Nonny looked after her, then headed in the other direction.
