Chapter 2: Awkward First Meeting

Marisol and I walked to our Algebra class together. I have to admit this day was kind of alright. But it still couldn't compete with my old school.

"Alright Zane, here it is. The teacher isn't all that bad." Marisol said as she entered the classroom. The teacher looked like she was a college student. Her child like posture was absolutely riveting. She had wavy brunette hair and stunning grey eyes.

"Oh, you must be Zane." She said with a smile. I couldn't help but smile back at her.

"Um, yeah that's me." I said. I handed her my schedule and looked around the room. That Riley guy was looking at me intensely. It made me nervous, so I looked away.

"Okay Zane, here's your book. Go sit over there by Riley." She said. How the hell did I know that she was gonna say that? I gave her a quick smile and sat beside Riley. He seemed just as nervous as I was, at least I think so. He had the look of utter pain and sickness on his perfect face. At first I thought he was gonna be sick, but I don't think it was that. I made a quick gesture to make sure that I didn't smell or anything. I smelt pretty good actually. So why was he staring at me with such at and rage? The clock seemed to tick fast. 15 minutes had gone by, and he was still staring at me. The bell tolled and he flew out of there like a bat out of hell. I grabbed my books and walked out of the classroom. I ran into Owen on the way out.

"Hey dude. So how's your day going?" he asked as we walked down the hall.

"It was going fine. But that Riley guy, he just kept staring at me the entire time." I said. Owen scrunched up his face.

"People say that they're weird anyway. So just ignore it. And if that doesn't work, tell someone about it." I nodded my head in agreement.

It was finally the end of the day and Zoey and I walked to the reception desk. Mrs. Kolchak was talking to Riley when we entered.

"Is that the guy you were talking about?" Zoey asked. I nodded my head yes. "He's cute."

"Can't you go a few minutes without saying someone's cute?" I asked with a smile. Zoey just shrugged.

"I could, but I'm not gonna." She said and playfully hit my shoulder.

"There has to be something else. What about Geometry or advanced Trig?" Riley asked. Mrs. Kolchak just shook her head.

"I'm sorry, Riley. But with your grades being as high as they are, you wouldn't need to take any advanced classes. So there's nothing I can do." She said. Riley wasn't pleased with that at all.

"Fine, I'll just have to tolerate it." He said and sort of shoved past us. Zoey was pissed.

"Okay, so being cute doesn't mean that he gets to be a total ass." She said. I just sighed.

"Enjoying your day, you two?" Mrs. Kolchak asked.

"We were." Zoey said with frustration. Mrs. Kolchak started to frown.

"Aw, what happened?" Mrs. Kolchak asked.

"It's nothing." I said. Zoey gave me an 'Are you serious?' look.

"Zane-" she began but I cut her off.

"It's nothing." I said again. She was finally defeated.

"If there's anything you two need just let me know." Mrs. Kolchak said.

"Sure, thing." I said as I pulled Zoey out of the office. When we were out in the truck she let me have it.

"Dude, if that Riley kid is giving you problems you should tell someone about it." She said. I just started the truck and pulled out of the parking lot.

"I know that Zo, but I'm fine. Nothing is gonna get me down." I assured her. She still didn't look like she bought what I was selling, but she left it alone. "So how was your day?"

"I thought you'd never ask. So, I'm sitting in Physics right and this girl…" she went on and on. The best part about being me is that I have the natural ability to block out what people are saying. It works a lot, because when you have a sister like Zoey, you need it a lot. I pulled up to the house and got out. It was still raining. Man, it rained more here than a little bit. I missed my sunshine.

"You know what I mean?" Zoey asked. Since I had totally blocked her out, I simply nodded my head. "People can drive you nuts." I know how she feels. When we were inside I saw mom reading the newspaper.

"What's going on in the world today?" I asked. She laid the paper down and got up.

"Nothing much, just people doing stupid stuff." She said as she took down her bun, letting her long black hair fall to center of her back.

"It's a good thing you're a judge, huh?" I asked. She smiled and tapped my shoulder. I went into the kitchen and poured myself some water. Zoey came in and sat at the island.

"Mom, Degrassi is so cool. I've made tons of friends already. And maybe even a boyfriend." She said. Mom gave her a serious look.

"Mm, your father isn't gonna like that very much, now is he?" her hard face then turned into a smile.

"Well, it's not concrete yet, but I'm working on it." Zoey said. As they had their 'girl talk' all I could think about was Riley. He freaked me out and intrigued me at the same time. I don't know what to call that exactly. I could literally describe every detail on his pale face. He didn't have a bump or scars at all. He was literally perfect. There was something strange about him too. The way he stared at me just wasn't natural. His black eyes almost stared through me.

"Zane is something wrong?" my mom asked snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Oh, no, I'm fine. Just thinking is all." I replied. Later that night, I paced my room. There was something strange about that Riley guy. I didn't know what his problem was, but tomorrow, I sure as hell was gonna find out.

A/N: Here's chapter 2. Like it, hate it. Let me know. I plan on doing a full four stories just like the Twilight Saga. And yes, Allstar, Owen is equivalen to Jacob, just like Zane is to Bella, and Riley is to Edward. This story will be good. Read and Review. And i'll have another chapter up soon. XOXO ShadowBeauty.
