A/N: I am an Australian teenager, about 15 years old, so I don't know anything about American high schools, or the way that 17 year old girls would act. I'm going on guess work, what I have seen in movies, and the way that girls act at my high school. Please tell me if anything is wrong…

Also, I might make some of it like my high school, timetable wise, and classes etc, so if any of you don't understand anything or get confused I'm sorry! And you can leave a comment and I will try and explain it as best as I can.

Oh, and a huge thank you so much to everyone who has reviewed so far! And thank you to anyone who had read it!! I hope everyone likes this chapter!!

Kelly and JJ compared schedules on the way to homeroom. They had the exact same classes. JJ smiled as she fitted her earpiece in.

"Who am I speaking to?" she asked quietly as other people walked past her on the way to their homerooms.

"Morgan."

"Good." She didn't really mean it the way it sounded. It was good in a sense because it was someone that she knew and trusted. On the other hand, it was also bad because it reminded her of her "family" she might never see again.

She felt tightness in her chest and realized just how much she missed them; so much so that for a fleeting moment JJ was just about willing to give up this whole mission, blow her cover and go home. There was a feeling that overpowered her panic; the yearning for answers; for the families who had lost their daughters and didn't have any answers. It was like an internal debate. Half of her wanted to quit here and now, but other half decided she had to stay, to find answers.

She massaged her temples which were beginning to ache. Kelly noticed and whispered. "Don't worry. It get's easier." JJ hoped that she was right.

They reached the classroom, and JJ stood for a minute outside. She panicked. She wasn't ready for this, she couldn't do it. Someone would be bound to know that she wasn't 17.

She took a deep breath and then entered the classroom. It was packed with students who all sat around at desks. Most of them were chatting about some party that had happened over the weekend.

A girl at the back waved Kelly over and she motioned JJ to follow her. Kelly hugged the girl and then sat down in the seat next to her. JJ sat down in the seat next to Kelly, looking at the other girl nervously.

The girl extended her hand, "I'm Laura."

"Hi, I'm Kate," she replied shaking her hand.

"So you're new here?" Laura asked. JJ nodded and then gave a quick version of her cover story.

"Oh, you're a cheerleader too." Laura said in surprise. "They just let you onto the squad?"

"Actually," Kelly interrupted, "Her tryout's are today." Everyone fell silent as a teacher walked into the room. She had long brown hair tied back in a clip, and she wore a black skirt and blue shirt.

She put on her glasses and sat down at the desk. She read out announcements. There were a couple of meetings at lunch time and after school, including cheerleading. There was also a message for Laura, Ben and Danny, to return some note to Mrs Wright ASAP. They all nodded though JJ was sure that the two guys weren't paying attention. They were throwing paper planes at each other.

The teacher called out the roll and gave one student detention for having to call out his name three times. JJ frowned. It was only what, 5 past 9 in the morning, and someone already had detention? JJ suddenly got scared that she couldn't do this.

Kelly raised her hand. "Miss." she called out, "We have a new student."

"Welcome," she said smiling at JJ. "I am Miss Robinson. What's your name?"

"Kate Miller," JJ replied with slight hesitation. Morgan had heard the hesitation in her voice.

He laughed. "Close call, Kate." JJ decided to ignore him.

The bell rang and everyone jumped up and shoved the offending books in to their bags, although a lot of the girls had handbags, or what JJ classified as purses. Everyone stood up, began chatting as they left the room heading off to first period.

"Don't worry…only she is like that, you know, completely to the point, strict, most teachers are a lot nicer." Kelly said. "Besides…you get used to it,' she added, pushing past a few people blocking the door. JJ fully doubted that she would get used to it.

"What do you have now?" Laura asked.

"Uh, English," JJ replied, checking her schedule.

"Super. You have English with us," Laura replied excitedly as she led the way. "We are getting a new teacher for English this year," she informed JJ as they continued through the hallways.

They began to talk about there old English teacher, and then began to come up with ideas on what there new teacher was like.

'I bet it is some old woman.' Kelly said. Laura disagreed. 'Nah, it will be some middle aged guy.' They entered the classroom, and were surprised by what they saw. The teacher was nothing like they imagined.
