Sorry about the short chapter. I made it before the storm. I'll try to make teh story more eventfull.

"Martinez." The new boy says. He pops his collar and tries to pose in a cool, laidback way by leaning on the edge of the teacher's desk. "How it do girls?" was the last thing he said before sliding off of the edge and falling face first on the floor. Snickers echoed throughout the room as her shot back up and steadied himself.

"Yes." Ms. Applebottom says, shooting the boy an unaamused fake smile, "Well Mr. Martinez, pick anywhere you'd like to sit. But be careful, you will have these seats all year round."

"How come?" He questions. " Every high school does that. What if there were no more seats and we had to sit by some smelly guy who only bathes like once a week? "The class snickered again at his antics, receiving dagger from the teacher.

"Mr. Martinez-"

"It's Jerry." Jerry interrupts.

"Jerry," she says in gritted teeth, "I am positively sure that everyone in this room is clean. Now please take a seat somewhere so I can continue with my lesson."

"But what if-"

"JUST take a seat." She scold. A small squeak come out of his mouth and rushes to the nearest seat he can find, which happens to be right in front of Grace.

"Now then," Ms. Applebottom sighed. "Moving on. Today we will be going deep into the effects certain food…" and from then the teacher's words began to fade into oblivion as Grace exited into her own realm of thoughts.

"Who does this boy think he is?! How could be act so suave and confident with his stride? He seems different, especially with his pointy ears and… dark brown almost black hair. His big, curious eyes and- what just happened? There is no way I'm letting some new kid do this to me!" Grace thought. She was so lost that she-yet again- didn't hear the bell go off, signaling the class had ended.

"GRACE!" Kim yelled in her face.

"WHAT?" Grace yelled back in fright. Kim raised an eyebrow at her best friend's odd behavior.

"We need to get to Bio." And with that Grace got up and followed Kim out the door. On their way to class, Kim questions Grace's silence.

"Grace, are you alright?" she asks worriedly.

"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" Grace asks confused.

"Well, you've been spacing out more than usual." Then a smirk appears on Kim's face. "Is it because of Bryan?"

"Bryan". Grace thinks dreamily before she's brought out of her thoughts by a snicker. She looks to her side to find Kim trying to hold back her giggles.

"Whatever." Grace says. They enter the class and Grace meets eyes with Bryan's dark blue ones. He cockily nods his head towards her direction through the midst of girls at his desk and Grace's head goes downwards as she averts her eyes. She scurries to her seat and looks back at Kim for an escape, only to find her looking back at Jack.

At lunch, Grace left her normal group to sit with Kim and her group of friends. They were conversing when Jack pulled up to the table with more than his trey at hand.

"Hey guys, I hope you don't mind I invited Jerry to sit with us."

"What it do, everyone?" Jerry said confidently.

"Salutations!" Milton said.

"Sup." Eddie said.

"Hi" Kim said.

".."

Everyone looked at Grace, expecting her to answer, only to find her staring at Jerry. Jerry stared back and looked down as he had the slightest tint of a blush coming on.

"Don't worry about her," Kim said, pointing behind Jerry, "She's in her own world.". Everyone looked back and saw the group of cheerleaders and jocks just chatting it up. Only Kim could understand that it was the blue eyed blonde boy with spiked hair that caught the girl's attention. Everyone looked away silently until Kim went back to her conversation with Grace, who was shaken out of her stupor.

"O…kay." Jack said awkwardly. "Anyway, where are you from new kid?"

"The name's Jerry." Jerry said. "And I came here from Puerto Rico."

"Oh, I read about that place." Milton said, "It has such a rich culture and absolutely breathtaking views. The pictures were just so majestic."

"Yeah it is."

"So why'd you move?" Eddie asked.

"My papi got a job opportunity from his boss. So we packed up immediately after hearing the news that we were going to be living in America." Jerry said. He looked down at his almost cleared trey, and saw that he had eaten everything except for the main dish: Mystery Meat.

"You may not want to eat that." Jack said

"No kidding." Jerry said, poking at it questionably." It looks like something out of my Uncle Rio's shower drain." Everyone looked at him in confusion (Eddie), disgust (Milton), or bewilderment (Jack). "What?" Jerry asked, seeing all of the boy's expressions.

"What does he-" Eddie asked before getting cut off.

"We don't want to know." Jack and Milton said at the same time.

"Anyways," Jack continued, looking towards Jerry. "Welcome to the country-"

"Seaford-"

"and school." Eddie finished with a smile. The bell then rung, signaling the end of the lunch period.

Sorry about the short chapter. Hope you like it though.
