Hey! Huge shout out to bluedayssilvernights and QueenOfTheFAYZ 26 for reviewing, LY!

Caine POV

Caine set his tray down on the table. He was half way through the first day and he hadn't even seen Diana yet. He hadn't got to see her all summer because his parents had forced him to go on a road trip across the US. Like that made up for sending him to Coates. The sight of Diana walking over to his table cheered up, even though she looked as if she could choke someone. "Hey," he said, trying to sound as cheerful as possible. Diana replied with a glare.

"My Maths class is filled with a load of idiots!" Diana immediately began to rant. "Including the King of the Idiots, Drake! I don't get why I'm in that class, everyone else in that class is so stupid. I'm better at Maths than you!" "The Maths class you're in is random, based on luck. And luck screwed you!" The look Caine got from Diana let him know that he wasn't being helpful.

"Seriously," Diana continued, "the question was 5X is 10, what's X? Half the class looked at the teacher as if she was speaking Chinese, and Drake was shouting out 'The answer's 27!' Plus, the teacher's so scared of him that she doesn't try to shut him up. How am I supposed to pass that class?"

"Well," Caine said whilst focusing on his lunch, "There's some losers in my class who don't shut up, but other than that it's OK. In fact, I sit beside a nerd who doesn't mind explaining stuff or sharing answers, and talk about a small world, she's your roommate."

"Please don't chat about that wimp Erin. Her cute niceness just annoys me." Diana took her frustration out on her burger by viciously biting into it. Caine, feeling particular brave, said, "She seems like a bad judge of character. She said that you were nice." "Oh, then she must think that you're a saint." Diana's voice was full of sarcasm, and she had one of her signature death stares aimed at Caine.

She only stopped when Drake sat down with them, as to give him a look of contempt. "What's your problem?" He demanded of her. Diana just rolled her eyes at him. Caine sensed an opportunity to have some fun. "She doesn't like her Maths class,' he answered for her.

"I know," Drake said with a mouth full of food. "The teacher's an idiot. Hey, what's X if 5X is 10?" Caine's face turned into a look of concentration. "27?" he offered. "I know that, but the teacher doesn't!" Caine and Drake looked over at Diana, whose face had turned into a scowl. The boys burst out laughing at her disdain for them.

"OK," Caine's had turned serious and formal. He looked around to ensure no one was listening to their conversation. "I was thinking that maybe over the summer, there may have been a few more people now able to join The Club." He looked between Diana and Drake to see that they understood him. "Spread the word that Th Club is on tomorrow night. Same time and place. Remember, Keep your ears to the ground, in case you hear anything… interesting."

Caine, satisfied that his message was heard loud and clear, turned his attention to Diana. "Try and make sure that you're nice to everyone, Diana. I always think that hand shaking is a lost form of politeness." He said with a smirk and winked at Diana. "Let's hope no one in Coates has the plague." Diana's sarcasm wasn't able to wipe the smile off Caine's face.

Erin's POV

Erin had defied all odds. She had survived her first day at Coates. There were some horrid people in her classes; she had been shoved on purpose against a locker by someone walking past, and called a dork (twice), along with some more colourful names. She contemplated all this as she lay on top of her bed.

The door burst open, and in stormed Diana. She took her blazer off and flung it on top of Erin's bed. "Excuse me," Erin said with a hint of frustration, "but my bed is not your closet."

"It's where I always put it," Diana snapped back. Erin knew that the sensible thing to do was to let such a stupid thing go, but she would not allow herself to be walked on by a self-proclaimed princess. "Well, find another place to put it or I will." Erin tried to sound as if she would not back down.

Diana just laughed, obviously doubting that she had been given a serious threat. Erin gave up on the idea of being reasonable and kicked the blazer on to the floor. "There," she said triumphantly, "You can pick it up, or enjoy our new mat."

Dian glared at Erin. "I was wrong about you," she finally said. "You can stand up for yourself." Erin gave Diana a sweetly sick smile. "Don't worry, it's a common mistake." Erin pushed herself off her bed and walked over to her desk.

She watched Diana put her blazer in her wardrobe and go in to the bathroom. Then Erin started her homework. What Erin did not see was Diana dipping Erin's toothbrush in toilet bowl's water.
