Many thanks to PotatoesAndDragons (my beta reader ^w^) who helped edit, gave me really good suggestions, and put up with my annoying grammar XD So quick thing here- if you have questions, no need to PM me, just put it in your review and I'll answer them at the bottom when the next chapter comes out, k? Speaking of reviews thanks to all who reviewed and read up until this chapter C: R & R!
So...if you were curious as to how old I am, I'll just tell you that I'm not even in high school yet heh heh yeah XD I'm in 8th grade, 13 ^w^
Disclaimer: Do I really need to do this every time? Let's just say it would be impossible for me to own Gallagher Girls. If I did there'd be a biiiiit more romance.
Josh POV
"Dude! Did you hear?!" Dillon practically yelled in my ear. "The Gallagher Girls recruited Tina Walters!"
"Whoa- okay, calm down!" I winced and covered my ear. "You probably broke my ear, bro!"
Keith snickers next to me and I punch his arm. Geez. The Jones's are so alike. (A/N: It was mentioned in the book that Keith and Dillon are brothers and that their last name is Jones.)
"She's like the worst person ever! They were totally glaring at her! They obviously don't want Tina- she's the biggest gossip in the whole school!- and- how did she do it?! How-" I shove some cafeteria fries (more like baked potatoes) into Dillon's mouth.
"D!" I hiss. "Breathe!" Then I glance around. Dillon's right. The Gallagher Girls are on one end of the lunch table and Tina is sitting at the other end. She's practically glowing. I can tell Tina's listening to every word they're saying. Like she looks way too eager.
I keep scanning the room. She's not with them. I get a bad feeling.
I haven't seen DeeDee since I was at my locker after second period. What happened? A blond girl walks in and I look at her eagerly. No, still not DeeDee. This blond is smaller and more petite.
She's holding a stack of books and her backpack is so full it looks like it can barely close. Where could she be? I start getting worried.
The bell rings and I check the classroom one more time before sighing and reviewing my notes for tomorrow's test. The clattering of books hitting the floor and a faint "Oopsie daisie!" catches my attention.
It's the blonde girl. She probably tripped and fell. Being the nice guy I am, I lean down and help her collect the textbooks.
"Here." Her face is red.
"Thanks," She mumbled.
"Liz..." Dr. Fibs smiles kindly. "Please go back to your seat." The girl- Liz nods really fast and hurries back to her desk. "Thank you. Take out your notes and turn to page 248 of your..."
DeeDee walks in and hands Dr. Fibs a note. He reads it quickly and gestures for her to sit down. I notice she avoided my pointed stare.
"Hey Josh! Do you wanna grab some burgers and head over to our place?" I feel like I'm forgetting something. After fifth period ended, DeeDee was the first to leave and when I spotted her she was surrounded by her friends. I couldn't get the chance to talk to her so that kind of sucked.
"Sure Di-" Crap. Now I remember. "Agh! I left my notebook in the computer lab! Fibbs has a huge test tomorrow and I need it." Campus was about to close soon. Josh how could you forget?
"But that's like, all the way across school..." Keith groans. I turn around and dash in the direction of the computer lab.
"Go first," I call over my shoulder. "I'll meet you there!"
When I reach the door I'm all sweaty. It has to be unlocked! I reached out to turn the handle, but before I could, it it opened really fast and almost hit me. Stumbling back, I cried out, the door grazing my arm. It hurt. Pencils roll out onto the floor and flashcards flutter all around me. Scratch that. Us.
"Oopsie daisie!" It's that same girl. Liz. I groan. "Sorry!" So once again, I'm helping her pick up her stuff.
"Are you in Fibs with me?" She doesn't remember?
"Um yeah." Awkward silence. "I'm Josh."
"Liz." Yeah. I know. Desperate for a topic, I look down at the book I'm holding. How You Breathe. I almost burst out laughing because there's this picture of a giant nose on the cover. The next book has only the top of a head. Your Hair and It's Roots. I pick up the next one. Hair Growth. What...?
"So...what's with these..." I hold up the one with the nose. Liz's whole face lights up.
"Dr. Fibs and I have been working on controlling the growth of nose hair!" She squeals. The tension is gone and I smiled like it made so much more sense. Then she goes on about molecules and such. Okay. Weirded out here. When we're done I remember the reason I came. Dillon's gonna kill me. Thankfully, no one locked the door yet so I tell Liz "bye" and run in.
Third Person POV
If boy had waited a bit longer he would have heard a small blonde's muffled voice call behind an armful of books, "No! Wait!"
Q & A Time!
Q: Are you gonna tell us what happens to Josh in the next chapter?
A: Sorry guys I have to follow the chapter order XD
Q: What's the Chapter order?
A: Well right now, it's Zach, Cammie, DeeDee, Josh. Unless you want me to do more...? Maybe.
Q: Who are the main characters?
A: That would be Cammie, Zach, Josh, and...Macey. XD No. Not Macey. DeeDee. You can kind of tell by the POVs, no?
Q: How old are they?
A: Umm...seniors?
Q: Will there be any other romances besides the obvious?
A: Yeah. Just the four will be the main drama/romance triangle/square...?
Q: Can you add side stories about everyone else?

Q: How long will this fanfic be?
A: I honestly have no idea. XD
Q: Can you add Kat and her crew?
A: No can do. That would be a crossover right? This is just a normal fanfic.
Q: Will Dee forever be a "bitchy" character?
A: Ahhh no. She was just really fed up and all so...I know she's really innocent and sweet and totally lovable.
Q: Why is Tina a Gallagher Girl (clique not school)?
A: DeeDee had something to do with it.
I hope that answers most of your questions! ^w^ Any more? I'd be glad to tell you! Just so you know, the next chapter will be one of the extra/special chapters I was talking about earlier. You won't get to find out what happens next until two or three more so yeah sorry about that! XD
