Authors note:

Yeah I know you all hate me now and nobody will want to read this but I'm going to continue anyway. Hahaha! I know it's been years but hopefully I'll get new people to read it =) so kudos to you guys!

Oh and I am going to try to switch up the Pov so it's more omniscient so I have more range with the characters.

I know everybody seems kind of O.C (out of character) but it's my O.C. world and I'm sorry (not really) if you don't like but you could just follow along with the story anyway (or you could do twirls and continually smack yourself) but it's up to you (or so you think). Sorry as the years have passed I've grown even more ADD and you'll just have to deal with what I throw at you =)

And for this chapter if you haven't already guessed Derek is supposed to be rorek/malchior, is he the evil one or the good one...Dun! Dun! Dun!

ABOUT THE OTHER CHAPTERS: I redid the first couple of chapters because when I started this I don't know what the fuck I was talking about. Honestly, I have idea where I was going with this but now I have some type of idea but I'm just going to write it and see whatcha think!

On with the show!

Rachel walked through the bustling hallway and slowly made her way to her locker. She looked down at the slip of paper that had her schedule, locker number and combination on it. She fumbled with the lock a few times before she finally got it opened. She was surprised that all her schoolbooks were in there but figured it was one more new thing she had to get used to. She grabbed her English notebook and textbook and placed them in the locker, not wanting to carry it around the rest of the day. She was ahead in her studies so she had to take Algebra II this year while all the other tenth graders took Geometry. She picked up her Algebra II book and placed it in her backpack along with her Biology book and pencil bag. She stood there a moment just thinking to herself.

Wow. My first day and I already have all this drama to deal with. Hopefully it doesn't get worse. I better hurry up and go before I'm late to-

"Well hello. It seems fate has brought us together," Jason gave her a cocky grin.

Ugh. Just who I needed to bump into, Rachel thought.

She shut her locker and faced the boy from her English class. She looked up at him.

"Jason, was it? I need to get to my next class so if you'll excuse me…" she said as she turned to go back the direction she had come from.

He stepped in front of her and casually leaned against a locker.

"There's this party on Friday, I think you should come" he said as he winked at her, cocky grin still in place.

"Sorry, I think I'll be busy that night." She said as she tried to move around him.
He side stepped in front of her.

"Doing what?" he wiggled his eyebrows suggestively.

She sighed. Knowing the time was ticking for her to get to class.

"Well whatever. I heard Dick and his crowd are going to be there so I assume you'll go anyway. I'll see you there" he said going back to his locker.

She hurried down the hallway to her class. How can he be such a-a jerk! Telling me what I'm going to do like I'm his dog or something. Geez these guys are all up into themselves here. Maybe I can get that Derek guy to go with me so I can get sleez bag off me…unless he already has a girlfriend, I mean he is pretty cute…oh well I'll just see how this goes. Though if I was being truthful, Jason is cute even if he is a sleez…Oh what am I saying, am I going nuts?

She turned another corner and pulled out the slip of paper again. Algebra II-Room 109. She hurried down the hall until she found it. She quickly shuffled in and sat in the one of last unoccupied seats by the window. The bell rang as she sat her stuff on the floor. She breathed a sigh of relief and stared out the window.

"Hey, it's you" a voice said beside her. She looked over to see who was talking. It was the Derek kid from before. She looked into his crystal blue eyes and just stared.

"It's me Derek, we ran into each other in the hallway" he said wrongly mistaking her silence as a sign that she had forgotten him.

"uh-yeah, no I remember you" she laughed awkwardly. "Sorry, I'm a little distracted this morning". She gave him a shy smile. I know I came up with the idea but now looking him in the face I don't know if I can do it. I guess it's a good sign he still remembers me since we only bumped into each other once. The teacher rattled off names off his attendance clipboard. Just then another familiar face popped in the doorway.

"Mr. Todd, you're late for class." Mr. Reller said gruffly.

"Yup, sorry about that" Jason said, not sounding sorry in the least. He slowly made his way to the back seat by the window. He walked down the aisle uncaringly until he saw the familiar grey heels and the set of glossy pale legs. He walked on but felt himself smirk as his eyes drifted up the legs past the skirt up the shirt and to the cream colored face with rosy cheeks.

Oh no! Why me? Why? Can't I have just one class period away from this guy… hold on…this'll be better. If he sees me with Derek then he'll leave me alone…hopefully... or this could turn bad like it almost did in English…oh who cares I've got to do something.

He sat in the seat behind her and propped up his elbows on the desk as his chin rested on his hands. Rachel turned to look up at the front again waiting for the teacher to read off her name. She sat there trying to look small hoping he didn't say anything.

"Hey, are you alright?" Derek asked from beside her. "Your face is a little red, do you need to go to the nurse?"

"No, I'm alright, thanks." She tried for a flirty smile. Alright I've got to do something. "It's a little hot in here" she lied. She took off her jacket and laid it on the back of her chair, directly avoiding Jason's gaze. Their faces were mere inches apart. She gave a slight nervous cough and turned back to Derek.

"So…are you new here?" Derek asked her.

"Uh, yeah I moved here about six weeks ago" she said staring into his eyes again. She lost her train of thought again. Wow his eyes are blue. Almost like ice. They're sort of mesmerizing…

"Where did you move from?" he said still staring intently into her eyes.

"…Oh, um I moved here from Seattle. I lived in an orphanage there up until six weeks ago when I was adopted," she told him.

She wondered why this was spilling out her mouth, she just felt completely comforted by him, like she could tell him anything and he would listen just as interestedly. Strange, why do I feel all dizzy like this, she thought.

"Derek, stop with your mind tricks already. Honestly, do you have to do that to everybody?" Jason said turning his face towards the window.

Derek just smiled at the boy. "Please go on Rachel" Derek said to her still staring at him. Jason turned back and looked Derek straight in the eyes. "Your stupid, little circus tricks don't work on me," Jason said smiling just as politely as Derek was.

The teacher called her name. Rachel shook her head to clear the dizzy feeling. The comforting feeling went away too. "Here" she said, slightly raising her hand for Mr. Reller to see. He nodded and moved on. She looked back at Derek who was still staring at Jason. What the hell was that? And what in the hell are they doing just staring dreamily at each other like that…oh my god! Is he gay? I didn't even think of that…what if he is? Ugh then my whole plan goes down the drain...

Derek's gaze finally dropped from Jason when he turned to look back at Rachel. "Sorry about that". "Anyway how do you like it here?" he smiled pleasantly leaning in closer.

She smiled back "It's nice, everybody has been really good to me". Mr. Reller called the class to attention before starting his lecture.

"Good. If you need anything just let me know. Whatever it is, don't hesitate, okay?" Derek murmured slightly above a whisper.

"Thanks, I will" she tried for a flirty whisper.

She heard Jason snort behind her. He leaned in closer, right behind her neck. "Wow, are you really trying or what?" he whispered into her ear.

She jumped a little, not expecting him to say anything or even be that close. She could feel his hot breath on the back of her neck and tried to put it out of her mind as she felt a small flush of heat rise to her cheeks again. He's a creepy jerk. A creepy jerk. He's not cute. Not cute. Not cute! she screamed inside her head. She tilted her head, looked through the window and up at the cloudy blue sky. Why can't this day be over already? Jason looked at her exposed neck and saw a thin line going from the middle of her neck and down into her shirt. Is that a scar? He thought to himself. He shook it from his mind. It couldn't be a scar. Scar thought shoved away, he formed another idea, a naughty idea in his head. He got even closer and gave her a lick. Her whole body went rigid as she sucked in a deep breath. Jason smiled to himself leaning back and propping his feet up on his desk. She slowly turned around; shock clearly written all over her face until she saw his smirk which quickly turned her expression to anger.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" she whispered harshly.

"You were asking for it, acting all snooty like that" his smile grew wider.

"The hell I was. I was sitting here minding my own business, thank you." she continued in her harsh whisper.

"You're pretty sexy when you're all fired up, ya know?" he whispered back to her.

"Ugh! You're driving me crazy" she said back.

"All the girls say that babe" he smirked.

"Alright class quiet down" Mr. Reller said looking at Rachel and Todd. He Turned back around and continued with his visual demonstration of problems. That was twice in one morning I've gotten scolded because of him and on the first day too. Ugh I'm starting to look like a trouble maker, she complained in her head. What a jerk!

"Leave me alone, please Jason" she begged almost inaudibly.

"Yes, say my name" he quietly laughed.

"Seriously Jason" she whined.

"Rachel" he quietly moaned.

"Jason!" she said exasperated.

"Rachel!" he repeated even more sexually. He started to breathe heavily. She slumped in her chair, trying her best to ignore his vulgar panting. He choked out a laugh which he instantly tried to cover up with a cough.

"I'm sorry Rae, I'll be a good boy" he said still trying to keep himself from laughing.

The rest of the class went more smoothly and Jason mostly stopped with the sexual commentary. She unconsciously would reach for the back of her neck where the scar was and stop herself almost immediately. She could tell Jason was still staring at her but she did not comment on the long gash she had on the back of her neck. She remembered what Juliet had said that morning. 'And I promise that no matter what you do, we would never ever send you back there'. Rachel calmed herself with that thought. She tried to focus on the teacher, but she couldn't all too well with Jason's hot breath against her neck again. It seems trying to flirt with Derek just makes the situation worse. Oh well, I mean it's not like he's going to continue with this…he's got to get bored sooner or later…hopefully. When thinking of Jason, all thoughts of her scar vanished.

So I hope you liked this one, I know I LOVE it!

Review and tell me what you think people, thanks!
