They enter the room. The nurse is average height and compact with pinched features, very long, straight, dirty blonde hair, and blue-green eyes.

"Hello, Conner. Who's your friend?" The school nurse asks.

"This is Tracy," He answers.

"You're the new student, right?" the school nurse asks.

"Yup," Tracy answers.

"So I see that you have met Grant." She says flatly

The nurse goes to work and cleans the cut on her face.

"Well, you're all set," she says with a smile.

They exit, and the bell rings again.

"Sorry, Conner, it looks like you missed the game because of me." Tracy apologize.

"I have soccer practice after school," Conner says. "We should head to the cafeteria before the room gets too packed and we get stuck sitting at the table next to the trash cans,"

Tracy nods. They walk there as fast as they can. Conner and Tracy find a table close to the window and sit down.

"Conner, thanks again for what you did back there in Gym class," Tracy says.

"No prob, that's what friends are for, right." He says, smiling.

Kira and the others walk into the room. He waves over to them. They walk over to them and sit down.

"Tracy, it looks like you met Grant," Ethan says.

"Yeah, he is such a nice kid," Tracy says in a sarcastic tone.

"No, he's not," Ethan says in a shocked tone.

"Ethan, she was being sarcastic," Trent says.

"I knew that. Hey Tracy, you still have that rock. Don't you?" Ethan asks.

"Yup," She answers.

"Tracy, I have to tell you something about that rock," he says, stammering through his statement.

"Ethan, I don't think that this is the best place," Kira says.

"You're right, Kira," he says.

"Okay, can someone please tell me what's going on?" Tracy whines.

Ethan and the others sit in silence, exchanging looks of doubt.

"Oh, it's nothing, Tracy, really," Ethan says.

"Okay, whatever you say, Ethan," Tracy says.

Fifteen minutes later, the bell rings, and they head to their next class. Tracy walks into Mr. Johnson's PreCalculus Class. 

"We have a new student joining us today. Her name is Tracy. I would like you all the make her feel welcome here at Reefside." He tells the class.

The whole class says hi.

"Why don't you take your seat next to Mike, and we can get started." he offers.

Oh, great, Mike here again. Either he does like me, or our schedules match up a little too well. Tracy thinks

Tracy walks over to her desk and sits down.

"Hello again, beautiful," Mike says.

"Hey," She says.

Mr. Johnson starts to write the lesson on the board in a nine-point font. She takes out her notebook and does her best to take notes. Ten minutes in, she gives up and starts to draw another picture of her old school.

"And that is the law of sines. Any questions?"Mr. Johnson asks, finishing writing the last few things on the board, then turns back around to face the class. No one raises their hand.

"Good. I would like for everyone to do problems 1-20 in your book on page 150 for homework tonight," he says, smiling.

The bell rings five minutes later. Tracy drops her calculator as she rushes out of the room and heads to her locker. She opened it and put things away and noticed that she didn't have her calculator.

Great, I must have dropped it when I left class. Man, way to go me. Tracy thought.

"Hey, Tracy," Conner calls.

Tracy closes her locker and slams her right index finger in the door- again. She slides it out from the door and turns around.

"Man, Conner, could you give me a warning next time, huh," Tracy says, trying not to get mad at him.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you," Conner apologizes.

"No worries, I'm good," She says, accepting his apology.

She looks over his shoulder and sees Mike walk up.

"Hey, Conner," Mike says.

"Oh hey, Mike," he says.

"Tracy, I think you forgot something," Mike says, looking over at Tracy.

He hands Tracy her calculator. As their hands come in contact with the other, she notices how their fingers lined up perfectly, and they hold hands for a few seconds accidentally.

"Uh, Tracy, you can let go now," Mike says, blushing.

Tracy takes her hand away quickly and blushes a little.

"Sorry, and thanks." She says.

"Don't worry about it, and you're welcome," Mike says as he leaves to head back to his locker.

He leans in close to her.

"I hope that we can become more than just good friends." He whispers into her ear.

The calculator falls out of Tracy's hand and hits the floor. Mike turns around and goes to his locker. She stands in silence with a goofy smile on her face and watches him walk away.

"So, Tracy, what did he say?" Kira asks.

"Kira, give up. We've lost her. She is on the love bug express." Ethan says jokingly.

Conner opens up his water bottle and splashes the cold water on her face.

"Conner, what did you do that for?" Tracy asks/yells at him.

"Sorry, but welcome back to earth," Conner says.

"Tracy, you like Mike, don't you?" Kira asks.

"No way, Kira, you're talking crazy," Tracy says.

She starts listing all his good qualities, and a goofy smile comes back on her face. Conner starts to toss cold water on her face again. Then Dr. Oliver walks up.

"Hey Ethan, what's going on?" He asks.

Ethan is going to answer, but Conner beats him to the punch.

"Nothing much, Dr. O, except Tracy is just crushing on Mike," Conner says happily.

Tracy slaps Conner in the gut, "Conner, will you shut up."

Then the bell rings again.

"Oh, would you look at that? We'll be late for our next class if we don't get going now." Tracy says, sighing with relief.

Tracy walks into Miss Drew's English Class. She introduces Tracy to the class, and she sees that Mike is in this class too. He has it played out that the only empty desk is next to him.

Okay, maybe he does have a thing for me. Tracy thinks as she sits down at her desk.

"Ok, class, we are going to start reading Romeo and Juliet today," Miss Drew announces.

The class gowns.

Again? I already read this in my sophomore English class at my old school. Tracy thinks.

She starts to hand out the books, and it so happens that they don't have enough copies for everyone, so Mike and Tracy have to share one. Tracy moves her desk closer so she can read it. They start to read the first few pages, and every time they turn the page, their fingers touch, and it makes Tracy blush. She takes her hand away and lets him flip over the page.

"Ok, class, we will read up to Act 2 today." Miss Drew says.

The class continued to read aloud, and fifteen minutes later, they read up to where she wanted to get to by the end of the class period.

"All right, class, you may turn the books back in now."Miss Drew says with a smile.

Then she collects the books. Tracy moves her desk back to its proper place.

"All right, class, have a nice day," she says as the last bell rings.

Tracy slowly got out of her desk to make sure that she didn't forget anything. She walks to the front of the room and reaches into her pocket to make sure that the rock is still there and lets out a sigh of relief as she feels the rock texture in her hand. She slowly takes her hand back out of her pocket. Then she leaves the room and goes to her locker.
