Here you go, I think this is a better chapter than the last one (:

Again, thanks so much for the lovely reviews, I'm glad you like it and I will try to update it again as soon as I can :)

Peering into the bedroom mirror, I looked relatively normal. I was wearing what I usually did, a vintage floral dress, tights and an oversized cardigan only this time I wore a pair of sturdy boots instead of the flats.

There wasn't much I could do with my hair, it sat on my shoulders in waves which was fortunate because I could never be bothered to style it anyway. With my backpack slung over my shoulder and the note in my pocket I was ready to go.

Making my way down the stairs, I stopped in the hallway, ''I'll be home late, I have work!' I yelled before leaving the house.

The city was bustling with yellow cabs and people trying to get to work, the smell of car exhaust fumes and bagels filling the air. It only took me ten minutes of dodging people before I arrived on the school grounds.

''Dammit.'' I muttered, spotting Flash in the parking lot. Lowering my head I hurried past, hoping he wouldn't notice me.

''Hey bookworm!'' he shouted. Too late.

I ignored him and headed straight for Peter's locker, taking out the folded piece of paper, I was ready to slip it through. Suddenly I felt a tap on my shoulder that made me jump, expecting it to be Flash I turned around but was surprised to find Pete standing there with a skateboard under his arm.

''Hey...'' he said, slightly confused as to why I was blocking his locker.

''Uh hi, I was just...going to give you this,'' I said, handing him the piece of paper. He unfolded the note and read it, then looked at me,

''Oh right. Yeah um you're welcome...it was no problem,'' he smiled.

I smiled back and nodded, ''...right. Goo-''

''Parker!''

''Man not again,'' Pete groaned, turning his back to me so he could face Flash. ''What's your problem Eugine?''

''What did you just say Parker?'' Flash gripped him and shoved him against the lockers, creating a loud metallic crash, ''what did you just say?''

''Boys boys, this is hardly the time or the place, now run along.'' The principal interrupted, having emerged from his office.

Flash reluctantly released his grasp on Peter, ''Just you wait Parker.'' he snarled.

''Such a jerk,'' I muttered, watching Flash turn away and storm down the corridor.

''Tell me about it,'' Pete said rubbing his shoulder, ''um I should go I have class, but yeah I'll see you around ok,''

''Yeah sure.'' I nodded. He smiled and then left, disappearing into the flood of students that filled the hallway.

Taking some books out of my locker, I then went along to class and took my seat at the back of the room-away from everyone else. As the English professor spoke, I emmersed myself in the world of poetry and novels. Again time had no concept and a couple of classes later it was lunchtime. Unlike most students, lunchtime was not something I looked forward to. It meant an hour of sitting alone at a table while Flash, if he was feeling up to it, found some way of covering me in food.

I carried my tray to the table nearest the oak tree, avoiding glares from a group of nearby girls. Sitting down, I took out a book I had been reading and opened it up on my lap. I had only began the third chapter when I looked up to find Peter walking out of the school, with a camera in his hands. He paused and then raised it, it took me a while to realise the lense was pointing in my direction. Unsure what to do, I waved and he started to walk over.

''Hey, um mind if I sit? he asked, gesturing to the table.

''No sure...go ahead,'' I said, moving over to give him some space,

''Thanks,'' he smiled taking off his backpack.

I spotted the camera around his neck, ''Are you a photographer or?''

He laughed a little, ''No, I uh just like taking photos, nothing professional,''

I smiled and gestured to the camera, ''Can I see?''

''Sure,'' he replied removing it from around his neck and handing it to me. I took it gently not wanting to damage it.

''How does it -'' I asked not sure how it worked,

''Here,'' he smiled, gently moving my fingers on to the right buttons, ''press the first and third buttons together,''

''Ah,'' I said pressing the buttons and taking a picture of him.

He laughed, ''You got it.'' I laughed too and handed it back to him, taking care not to drop it.

''So you study science?'' he asked, referring to the biology book on my lap.

''Yeah,'' I said glancing at it, ''um my parents are both herbalists so it kinda rubbed off on me I guess,''

He nodded, ''Herbalists. My parents were scientists too,''

''Were?''

He stared at the table for a short moment then gave a half smile, ''I live with my Aunt and Uncle now.''

I was about to reply when I spotted Flash and his friends in the distance, they were looking over at us.

Peter seemed to have noticed this too, ''I should get out of here before he comes over, I doubt he has forgiven me for calling him Eugine.''

I smiled and watched him stand up, as he walked off I couldn't help but notice Flash staring after him, as if he was deciding the best time to strike.

I slammed my book shut in anger. Flash was such an asshole.

Tell me what you think, review!

For anyone who wants to know, I based my character's appearance on Zooey Deschanel (:
