Hi. I'm really sorry for not updating in like five ever. I'm not even going to try to give excuses. And I might not be able to put the thanks for the reviews for last time so they'll be in the next chapter.

So without a due, here is the chapter you have been waiting for. Along with the introduction of two new characters!


Last time:

After unlocking and re-locking the door since no one would be here for a while, I went upstairs and fell asleep.

I didn't know this now, but tomorrow was going to be a long day.


The next morning, when I had finally woken up after a long slumber, it was raining. But that was the least of my problems that day.

I had woke up late so Mina had to take me to school and since I woke up late, I couldn't find my brush. Needless to say I didn't brush my hair or put on my hat. But I had enough time to pin up my hair. So I had nothing to hide my hair with.

"Beeeee!' I held out my sister's nickname as she drove me to school.

"Whaaaaaaaaaaat?" she answered from the driver's seat.

"I couldn't find my brush so I didn't brush my hair. I forgot my hat too!" My sister usually solved most of my problems. It was only my second day back and I was sitting in the passenger seat of my sister's blue car. I could walk, but I wouldn't make it there in time. There was only 5 minutes before we would arrive at the dreaded place.

"Well you forgot to set your alarm. You're lucky I had mine set. You could ask Kim or Konnie if they have a brush."

"Yeah. That's true..." I trailed off as we pulled into the school parking lot. "Bye sis."

"See ya later." she replied as I shut the door. As soon as she drove off, I wish I stayed in the car.

I made my way through the rain that pelted against my blue, pink, and purple polka dot umbrella. Reaching the door, I shook of my umbrella, closed it, and walked into one of the last places I wanted to be.

Even though I had way too much sleep, I was still exhausted. I didn't sleep well the trip here and I had to get up even though I had a lot of sleep.

As soon as I took one step into the building, the bell rung signalling for the students to get to their lockers and get to their first classes. Kids poured into the hallway and I almost had a panic attack. There was way too many people and I have a fear of that.

After calming myself, I walk into the crowd of pushing and shoving. Somehow, I make it to my locker alive. As I practically threw my stuff in my locker, I was almost stuffed in there too! Was a blue haired girl really that hard to see?!

Today is just not my day and I don't feel like it'll get any better...

As I walked into 1st period Social Studies (after a few minutes of walking around the hall trying to find it), I realized that I didn't know if Lens or Kim, or Konnie were in here. Finding the teacher, I asked him where I sat and after he showed me to my seat, he sat back at his desk.

I looked at the posters around the room. There was one for expansionism, one for imperialism, and even one for isolationism (all things I've been learning recently). And with a flash of red hair, I glanced at the door to see not one red head, but two. And they were conversing!

We were enemies! Why is he talking to her? The shorter redhead laughed and she turned and seen my glare. She whispered something to Lens and she walked to her seat to rows ahead of me.

"Hey Care. Can you let me explain before you get mad?" Lens asked.

Nodding a bit irritably, he continued.

"Well after you left, Lanes and I became friends. The bands didn't have a problem with being cool with each other off stage, but we promised to be enemies on stage. I'm-"

The bell cut through the rest of his explanation that I wasn't too interested in at the moment. So he walked to his seat in the back. The teacher walked to the front of the room and took attendance. The seat next to me was empty.

'Maybe someone sits here.' I thought to myself.

"As you can see, we have past student, Carrie Beff, here again." the teacher motioned towards to me. Somehow I managed to avoid all the eyes that stared at me. Whispers of 'I told you so's were said.

"I don't know what is with all of these new kids, but we have two new students today." He walks to the door and let two people about my age in.

"Okay class these are your two new classmates." said the Social Studies teacher. "C'mon now introduce yourselves."

A tall boy with messy black hair walks in first followed by a shorter girl with long raven colored hair. The male looked more nervous than the girl, so the girl stood in front of him and started talking.

"Hi! I'm Kenzie Riley Hazzard. Please to meet you. This kid," she jerked her thumb in the direction of the boy behind her. "Aren't related. We just both came from the same school. And he's a bit shy. So I heard Grojband and The Newmans go to this school. If any of the members are in this room, I want you to know that I'm a bit of a musician myself."

The boy stepped forward an inch. "My name is Spencer McHale. I'm also a musician and a big fan of the Newmans." His green eyes found my familiar face and blushed. At least someone in this place recognized me.

The girl spoke again. "I'm a fan of Grojband. If you want to be my friend, call me Riley, I prefer it. If you call me Kenzie, that means you want to be my enemy and that's exactly how I'll take it."

"Okay ," glare from said girl," you may take your seat by Lenny. Lenny raise your hand." He did want he was and raised his hand. The blue eyed girl made her way over to him.

"And Spencer you can seat in the empty desk next to our other new arrival, Ms. Beff. Will you please raise your hand."

I wasn't even able to raise my hand before Spencer sated, matter-of-factly, " She doesn't have to. I know who she is." And within seconds he was taking the seat next to me.

Lens sent him a death glare for who knows what reason. This boy and that girl give me a bad feeling.


So I wonder why she's so uneasy about them. Well see you soon and happy Valentine's Day! And I still love you guys ~A
