Set Up

AN: Sorry for the long wait, but I hardly have any free time because of college. Hopefully this chapter will be okay, though .

Lucinda's POV

On Monday morning, I woke up early. After getting up (putting on my signature outfit complete with a pink and black bag) and making sure I had everything (I was bound to forget something so I had to check several times just to be sure), I wandered down into the kitchen and poured myself some cereal.

"Are you excited, dear?" Mum asked as I sat down and began eating. I nodded, waiting until.I had swallowed my food before trying to speak.

"Totally- although I am nervous too." I admit. It's not easy moving around all the time; I constantly have to say goodbye to the friends I make and it takes some getting used to. I keep having to go through the whole process of getting to know people every time I move. "I won't know anyone, though."

"What about those two nice boys?" Mum says, looking up from her newspaper. "Perhaps you'll be in some of their lessons."

I looked at the clock and saw that it was time for me to go. "I'll see you tonight, Mum." I said, kissing her goodbye. I grabbed my bag and, after giving myself a once-over in the living room mirror, deemed myself presentable enough to leave the house. After all, I wanted to make a good first impression.

Toby's POV

I stood outside my tutor room with Jessica and Lucas. Nick had gone to ask his chemistry teacher about something. We had been fortunate enough to all have tutor together first thing in a morning. It was, therefore, the perfect opportunity to rope Jess and Lucas into helping me set Nick up with Lucinda.

"So let me get this straight," Lucas said for the third time after I had explained my plan to them. "You want to set your brother up with a girl he barely knows- a girl we know nothing about."

Jessica nodded. "Yeah, you can't just do that, Toby. We haven't even met her properly yet!" She exclaimed. "Lucas is right- it's like setting Nick up with a complete stranger!"

Feeling like my genius idea was getting no support, I glanced around for inspiration and looked straight into the eyes of one Lucinda Vega. "Lu!" I exclaim. "Do you know where you're heading?"

She shrugged. "Not really. The map wasn't very useful and I didn't want to ask anyone for help in case I looked stupid in front of everyone." She then handed me her timetable and I scanned it quickly, before giving it back to her.

"Okay, do you want the good news or the bad news?" I ask, seeing Jessica and Lucas approaching. She shrugs, looking at me quizzically. "Well, the good news is, you're in the right place. The bad news is, you have double maths with me and my friends right after tutor."

"Hey, Toby, is this the new girl?" Jessica asked, after tapping me on the shoulder. I spin round and gesture toward Lucinda as I make the necessary introductions.

"Lucas, Jessica, this is Lucinda Vega. Lu, these are the friends I was just telling you about."

Lucas and Jessica both nodded as Lucinda said quickly, "Just call me Lu." Suddenly they heard the sound of hurrying footsteps.

Lucinda's POV

Nick sped through the doors at breakneck speed, panting. He held an impossibly high stack of books in his hands. "I'm not late, am I?" Toby shook his head, an amused look on his face. The brown haired boy let out a huge sigh of relief before spotting Lucinda. "Oh, hi, Lu, I see you found your way. How are you finding it so far?"

Distracted by the appearance of a black haired girl who looked very familiar, I replied offhandedly, "I don't know yet, but it's looking pretty good so far." The familiar looking girl turned towards me, a questioning look in her eyes.

"How do you-" Her voice catches and she stares at me, making me feel slightly uncomfortable. I can't think why she looks so familiar. Wait a minute...

We must have reached the same conclusion at precisely the same time as our shocked voices rang out together.

"Lu?"

"Gina?"

AN: Sorry for the long wait but here is Chapter 3 at last! Next chapter: Gina and Lucinda discuss Gina's crush on Lucas and Toby manages to persuade Jessica to help with setting up Lucinda and Nick. Hope you like it!
