2 Weeks Later

It's been two weeks since Randy and I last spoke and I've missed him every single second of those two weeks, but I haven't caved in to my desires to hear his voice or be in his arms, I can't. I have to show him that I'm serious about wanting to know more about his past and if I cave in... I can't cave in!

I walked into homeroom and sat down just as the teacher came in followed by a boy I had never seen before. "Class this is Zane Whitmore," he told us, nodding toward the boy "He's joining us from New York. I want you all to make him feel at home here."

Then the teacher looked around the room and said "Zane you can take the empty seat next to Rowan. Rowan please raise your hand."

I raised my hand and Zane came over to me and sat down. "Hi," he said softly "I'm Zane."

"I'm Rowan" I said.

"Rowan do you where room 214B is? I have to go there for Physics."

"I can show you, that's my first class."

"Mine too."

"Really?"

He handed me his schedule and I looked it over. We had all he same classes together at the same time. Handed him back his schedule and said 'It's the same as mine, so I can show you where to go."

He smiled, revealing perfect white teeth and said "That would be great. Thank you."

I smiled back and said "No problem."

As the homeroom teacher went over the morning announcements I took a peek over at Zane. He was tan, but not too tan and he had black hair and shining deep green eyes. His skin was clear and he was slightly muscular and had really good posture.

When the bell rang he followed me to 214B, talking the whole way.

"So why are you taking advanced classes?" he asked me.

"Because I want to become a doctor one day"I replied.

'Really? Me too!"

"Seriously?"

He nodded and said "Both my parents are doctors and my sister became a nurse, so I guess the medical case industry is in my blood."

I laughed and said "Ever since I was little all I wanted to do was help people and while ost kids would be afraid of going to the doctor, I never was. I would always sit there and watch everything they did with fascination."

"I bet they loved you" he laughed.

"Yeah I was a pleasant change for all the screamers and criers they'd get."

He laughed until we reached the classroom and I introduced him to the Physics teacher.

"Zane you can pair up with Rowan," he told him "She's the brightest in the class and she'll be able to help you catch up in no time."

"Sounds good to me," said Zane "Rowan?"

"I'd be happy to help Zane out" I told the teacher.

For the rest of the day Zane asked me tons of questions and I answered them all. He sat next to me in every class and he sat with me at lunch. He even offered to drive me home which I politely declined. He looked hurt, but said he understood.

It's nice to have a new friend, someone I can talk to and have stuff in common with, but it made me miss Randy even more.

Randy I do miss you.

But I can't give in.

Not until I know the answers to my questions.

The main purpose of this chapter was to introduce Zane, who is going to be a main character throughout the rest of this fic.

What do you think Zane's role is going to be?
