Normal POV

They enter the room, and Dr. Oliver takes his place at the front of the class. The teens take their seats. Tracy sits down and lets out a long sigh.

"Hey, you okay?" Kira asks.

"Yeah, I'm okay, just a little homesick I guess," Tracy answers in a sad tone.

"You miss all your friends back home, huh," Trent says.

"Yup, and all my teachers at my old school too," She says sadly.

"What was your old science teacher like?" Conner asks.

"At my old school, we had three different teachers who taught a specific science class. My favorite teacher was the one who would let you talk about music. He would talk about music for the entire class period." She answers in a sad tone.

"He sounds like a cool teacher," Kira says.

"Yeah, he was," She says, trying to smile.

Then the rest of the class files in Mike sits down in his seat and waves at them.

"Tracy, look there is your prince charming," Kira says in a sing-song tone.

"Ha ha Kira," Tracy says in a sarcastic tone.

"Go over there. Mike wants you to sit next to him." Kira says.

"Really?" Tracy asks as she tries not a smile like an idiot.

"Looks like it," Kira says still smiling.

Tracy's POV

I get up from my seat, grab my things, and start to walk over to Mike's table. I stop about halfway.

"Why did you stop?" she asks.

"That table looks a little crowded. I'll sit with you and the rest of the gang." I answer.

"Nice try," she says.

Kira gives me a friendly shove towards Mike's table. I stumble into it.

"Hey, are you ok?" Mike asks.

"Yup, I'm all right," I reply.

Normal POV

She casually walks around to her seat and sits down. A few seconds later the bell rings.

"All right class can anyone tell me something about the Jurassic era?" Doctor Oliver asks the class.

Tracy takes out her notebook and starts to take notes. About twenty minutes later she takes off her glasses and wipes the sleep from her eyes and puts them back on her face and looks back down at her notebook. After losing her place and wasn't able to keep up with what Dr. Oliver was saying she skips a few lines and starts to draw a picture of her old school from memory. Mike looks over her shoulder and notices the drawing.

"Nice picture," He whispers.

"Thanks," she whispers back.

Tracy looks back up at Dr. Oliver, just to let him know that she was still paying attention to what he was saying. She goes back to work on the drawing. The school bell rings, and the class runs out of the room.

"Don't forget to read chapter seven for class tomorrow." Dr. Oliver says.

The class files out of the room quickly. Tracy gathers up her things and leaves.

Kira and Tracy enter the music classroom, and the teacher walks up to them. She is slightly above average height and stout with hard features, medium, black hair, and blue-green eyes.

"Hello, you must be Tracy?" Miss May says smiling.

"Yes ma'am," Tracy says.

"I'm Miss May and welcome to my class, and you came on a good day because today I'm having all the students sing a solo so I can pick who will sing the solo for our concert for the school next week. Kira, would you like to go first today?" Miss May asks.

"Sure Miss May I would be happy to," Kira says happily.

Then the bell rings, Kira and Tracy take their seats. Miss May takes attendance and signals for Kira to step to the middle of the room. Kira takes her guitar off her back and tunes it before she starts to sing "Freak You Out." When she finishes the class applauds loudly.

"Well done as usual Miss Ford. Tracy, would you like to go next?" Miss May asks.

"Not really but I guess I will have to have to go sooner or later. I didn't bring any music with me." Tracy says shyly.

"I'm not too out of date Miss Burlew. I know you teenagers have those IPods. You have one in your pocket, don't you? Would you please plug it into the computer and pick a song." she says sternly.

"Yes Ma'am," Tracy says shyly.

Tracy takes her IPod out of her pocket and plugs it into the computer; She picks "Part Of Your World" and hits play. She stands in front of the class shaking like a leaf, and she looks over at Kira. Her new friend gives her a thumbs ups. She starts to sings quietly, but after she hits the first notes right on key, she sings more confidently. When Tracy finished the song, the class claps loudly again and walks back to the computer to unplug her IPod. She walks over to Kira and sits down next to her.

"Wow, Tracy you are a great singer," Kira complements.

"Thanks," Tracy says with a smile.

"Tracy, have you done any singing before?" Miss May asks.

"Just church choir." Tracy answers.

"Oh, it shows you do a good job of singing constants I understood every word you sang. Who's next?" Miss May asks the class of worried students.

The rest of the class gets up to sing, and fifteen minutes later the bell rings again.

The girls stop in front of Tracy's locker, and Tracy opens it.

"So what do you think of Reefside High so far?" Kira asks.

"It's ok I guess. I've only had two classes." Tracy answers.

Conner, Ethan, and Trent walk up.

"Hey, guys." Conner greets us.

"Conner too bad you aren't taking music class this semester. You missed Tracy singing today." Kira brags.

"Wait, Tracy, you sing?" Conner asks surprised.

"Yeah, but I'm not as good as Kira though," She says modestly.

"Tracy was amazing. She is too modest," Kira says.

Then the rock in Tracy's pocket starts to glow. Tracy reaches into her pocket and takes it out. Everyone stands in shock.

"Hey, guys what's wrong with you? It's just a rock." She says.

"Tracy, where did you find this?" Ethan asks.

"I found it at the bus stop this morning, why?" She answers.

"Oh, no reason. Tracy, do you mind if we talk in private?" Ethan says.

"Not really," Tracy says.

Tracy grabs her lunch and the books she needs for her next class. She closes her locker and walks away so they could talk.

"That was the dino gem Dr. O was tracking. We have to tell her what she found." Ethan explains.

"Come on Ethan put yourself in her shoes. Would you believe your new friends if they told you that you found a rock that can give you superpowers?" Kira points out.

"Ethan, Kira's right. Do you think that Tracy is even going to believe us?" Trent agrees.

"Whether she believes us or not, she needs to know before you know who finds out." Ethan points out.

The bell rings again, so they head to their next class. Tracy walks into Gym class and goes over to Conner. Mr. Jonas is above average height and muscular, very long, dark brown hair, and hazel eyes.

"Conner," Mr. Jones says.

"Here," Conner calls back.

"Tracy," He calls out.

"Here," Tracy calls back.

"You're my new student?" He asks.

"Yes, sir." Tracy answers.

"Welcome to Reefside High," He says.

He continues taking attendance.

"Grant" He calls out.

"Here" Grant calls back.

Mr. Jones tells everyone to change, and when they get back, he'll pick teams for a soccer game. I enter the girl's locker room, and Amber runs up.

"Hey, I didn't expect to see you here," Amber says.

"Neither did I. Maybe the A on my transcript means nothing," Tracy says jokingly.

"We have a class together," She says.

"True," Tracy says.

"Just try your best to stay away from Grant and his friends, ok," She warns.

"Let me guess. The trio is the welcoming committee." Tracy jokes.

"Not really Grant likes to pick on the new kid," Amber says with a confused look on her face.

"Amber it was a joke," Tracy says.

"Sorry," She apologizes.

"I figured that he does give off that school bully vibe," Tracy explains.

"Just stay on your toes, okay?." She warns again.

"Thanks, Amber I will," Tracy says.

They walk over to their gym lockers. Amber changes into her gym clothes quickly and starts to head out.

"Hey, you coming," Amber calls.

"Yeah I'll be right there," Tracy calls back.

Tracy starts to change into her gym clothes. As she folds up, her jeans the rock falls out of the pocket, and it is still glowing. It rolls all the way over to Amber, but Tracy doesn't notice. She finished changing, and Amber walks over to her. Amber hands her the rock.

"I think you dropped something," she says.

"Thanks, Amber. It must have fallen out of my pocket." Tracy explains.

She puts in her locker and locks it. They leave to join the rest of the class in the gymnasium. Mr. Jones splits the students up and puts the girls on Conner's team.

"Great, we will win for sure," Amber says.

"I guess that Conner is good at soccer," Tracy says.

"He is unbelievable," She brags.

"Cool," Tracy says.

"Ok everyone let's head out to the soccer field." Mr. Jones tells the class.

"Tracy, have you played soccer before?" Conner asks.

"If you count standing in the goal and the ball bouncing off the goal post, then hitting me in the face playing. Then yes, I have played a little." Tracy jokes.

"Does that happen a lot - I mean the ball hitting you in the face," Conner says.

"Yeah, but I've gotten used to it I guess my face has a force field that attracts sports balls to it," she says cracking another joke.

She walks over to the bench. Grant and his friends, Peter, and Jeremy were standing midfield. Grant has a soccer ball in his hand and places it on the ground.

"You two know the plan right?" Grant asks his two friends.

"We sure do boss." Peter answers.

"Grant, are you sure about this?" Jeremy asks in a worried tone.

"Come on Jeremy. Man up. It won't hurt her much, and besides she said it herself, she is used to this kind of thing happening to her. So one more time isn't going to make much of a difference now will it." Grant snaps.

Grant gave the boys the signal, and they went off to distract Mr. Jones.

"Hey, new girl," Grant yells.

Tracy turns around and sees Grant kick the ball from midfield.

"Tracy heads up," Conner warns.

Conner's warning fell on deaf ears because it was coming in too fast. A few seconds later the ball slammed into Tracy's face causing her glasses to fly off her face. She winced in pain. Conner and Amber ran over to her

'Man, I should have seen that one coming.' Tracy thinks.

"Tracy, are you ok?" Amber asks.

"Yup, Amber I'm good. It's just a little sore that's all." Tracy says trying to brush the whole thing off.

"Hey Grant, that was a dirty trick," Conner yells back at him.

Grant is still standing midfield but has a look of pure satisfaction on his face, and Conner started to walk over to Grant to give him a piece of his mind.

"Conner, stop," Tracy calls to him.

"Tracy, are you just going to let him get away with this? He did it on purpose." Conner whines.

"I know, but can we please not make a big deal out of it ok." She begs.

Conner turns back around and walks back over to the girls. Amber picks up Tracy's glasses and gives them back to her. Grant's friends stop talking with Mr. Jones, and they all come over.

"What happened here? Are you all right?" Mr. Jones asks.

"Nothing, sir, I'm fine," Tracy says.

Mr. Jones can tell that something is wrong.

"I'll ask again, what happened?" He demands.

Tracy stands in silence, but Conner stands up for his new friend.

"Grant purposely kicked the ball hard from midfield so it would hit Tracy in the face," Conner explains.

"Conner, what are you doing?" Tracy whispers to him.

"I'm standing up for my new friend." He whispers back.

"Grant, is this true?" Mr. Jones asks the school bully.

"No way Mr. Jones, Conner's lying," Grant says confidently.

Mr. Jones looks over at Tracy and sees a small cut on her face near her left eye.

"Tracy, you have a small cut on your face near your left eye." Mr. Jones says.

She touches her face near her left eye and wipes away a tiny amount of blood. Mr. Jones tells Tracy she should see the nurse. She knew full well that there is no way she was going to argue with the gym teacher.

"Yes sir," Tracy says.

"I'll lead the way," Conner offers.

"Conner, it's ok you don't have to. I think I can find it on my own." Tracy says.

"Conner will go with you." Mr. Jones orders.

They leave the soccer field and head to the nurse's office.
