Chapter 1
so this is my first time writing a Cadley fanfic and I hope you guys like it :)
Allison was nervous. It was her first day at her new high school, Princeton Plainsboro High, and she was not looking forward to it. For one, she had to start in the middle of the year, when everyone had already separated into their 'cliques'. You had the sporty ones, the gossipy ones, the nerdy ones and the outcasts. She didn't think she'd fit in anywhere, nobody would want to take a chance and become friends with the awkward and shy new girl. Not to mention that she was bisexual; of course, nobody new that yet but they'd soon figure it out when her sort of 'girlfriend' picked her up after school.
As she walked to the main entrance she wondered if she had any chance of making friends. She was already a junior, everybody had already made their friends when they first joined the high school last year.
'Maybe I'll just be a loner for the next year and a half, it'll be better than trying to make friends' she thought sadly 'I can't let anyone get too close'
Allison collected her timetable and map of the school before setting off to find her first class, Advanced Chemistry. She wondered if there would be anyone in her class that hoped to become a doctor, like her, instead of being a lab tech or a teacher. As she walked, she knew that everyone was looking at her because she was the 'new girl', with her worn out jeans, dirty red converse, red checked shirt and scruffy blonde ponytail. Allison knew she didn't look like someone people wanted to get to know, she wasn't wearing (or carrying) anything designer so people just blanked her.
She reached her class roughly 5 minutes before it was due to start and stood by the door, leaning one foot against the wall. After a few seconds she noticed a blond boy staring at her curiously; it was kind of annoying. Just because she was new, it didn't mean he had to openly stare at her. She walked over to him.
'Do you mind?' she said crossly 'why are you staring at me?'
He blushed and looked down sheepishly 'I..I'm sorry, but your new'
She raised an eyebrow, unimpressed with this statement 'I know? why does that mean you have to stare?'
He met her eyes carefully 'well, I was just wondering, if you...if you wanted to be friends?'
Allison was surprised by his forwardness, she stated blankly at him for a few seconds before responding 'um sure? My name's Allison, Allison Cameron' she smiled and held her hand out.
'Robert Chase' he shook her hand and smiled back at her 'so, what are you doing in Advanced Chem?' he asked with a slight hint of intrigue in his voice
Allison chuckled slightly 'I want to be a doctor, have done for as long as I can remember. What about you, Chase?'
He smirked at the use of his surname 'I want to be a doctor too, I bet we'll have most of our classes together, Cameron'
Before she could respond the bell rang and they shuffled into the room with the rest of their classmates. Allison took a seat next to Chase, which was conveniently empty, taking a quick scan of the room, Allison stopped when she noticed one of, if not the most beautiful girl she had ever seen.
'Oh my gosh, who is that?' she thought 'she is gorgeous'
Making a note to ask Chase on the way to the next lesson, Allison settled down to concentrate on the lesson, which proved fruitless for two reasons; one, she had covered this area of the topic a few weeks ago at her previous school and aced the test and two, he eyes kept drifting over to the brunette in the corner. Before she knew it the bell had rung to signal the end of class.
She and Chase walked over to another building in which they had Anatomy.
'Hey Chase?' she turned to look at him to check he heard her, when she received a nod she went on 'who was the brunette in the corner of the room?'
He smirked slightly 'that is Remy Hadley, more commonly known as Thirteen, prettiest and most popular girl in school. She's dating Eric Foreman, he's on the football squad, so don't get your hopes up'
Allison spluttered 'get my hopes up? For what?'
Chase scoffed 'like you weren't checking her out just now! I'm surprised you didn't ask me sooner'
Blushing, Allison responded quickly, maybe too quickly 'I wasn't, I mean, no.'
She was getting flustered 'ok fine, I was. She's so pretty though, you can't tell me you haven't thought about asking her out'
Chase's cheeks turned slightly pink 'she's, she's not really my type'
This seemed to strike a chord with Cameron 'oh I see, and who would happen to be your type?'
Chase looked at her 'I don't know, um, can we drop this subject?'
Allison smiled 'sure. So how come Thirteen was in our class? She's way too pretty to be smart!'
Chase laughed loudly at this 'age actually one of the smartest in our class, she wants to be a doctor too'
Alison's eyebrows nearly disappeared into her hairline 'you're kidding'
Chase just smiled and shook his head.
The rest of the day went pretty smoothly with only a few problems like not being able to find her locker and trivial things like that.
She wondered if the rest of her week would go so smoothly.
Sorry for the lack of Cadley in this chapter but I needed to start somewhere, there should be more in the next chapter, which I shall be posting whenever I have time. Please review so I know where to improve and if you guys want anything to be included?
