Rachel's P.O.V

"Oh my gawd, Rachel, you're alive!" Kia exclaimed as soon as I walked in the door, clearly being melo-dramatic on purpose.

"Just barely, I thought I was a goner!" I squeaked, playing along.

"Hardee-har-har. But seriously, where were you?" she asked.

"Ok, you will never believe what happened." I said, ushering her to a corner so we could talk privately.

"Does it involve that guy you were hugging yesterday before your mysterious disappearing? Man he was yummy!"

"Yes, it involves him. Do you remember Adam, my best friend that passed away 3 years ago?"

"Duh, I mean you talked about him every day. There was always at least one comment about him; no there always is some comment about him. Now what about him?" she asked

"Well, that guy I was hugging was him." I explained.

"What?! No way! But, I thought he was dead!"

"So did I, but it turns out we were cruelly deceived."

"What?" she asked.

I explained everything and she finally understood what I meant by my comment.

"Those b*tches! How could they do that? Who did that?" she asked

"I don't know, but I don't think I want to know, that's all in the past and I really do not even want to know of someone so horrid they would do that." I said

"Yeah true, well we better get to class, we're already super late, don't want to piss of our new teacher more than he probably already is. We spent like, what half an hour just talking." She said  

"Yeah, come on, lets go." I said walking in the direction of our homeroom.

Ricky's P.O.V

I watched her explain something to her friend. I couldn't hear what she was explaining, and I didn't move any closer in fear of being caught. I headed off to my homeroom, which thanks to some action on my part was Rachel's homeroom as well. I couldn't have any more classes with her, seeing as I'm a senior and she's only a freshman, but, I'll see what I can do.

Adam's P.O.V

Rachel was in my homeroom, and she introduced me to her best friend (other than me, of course) Kia. I saw something between her and my best friend (other than Rachel) Drew when I introduced him to Rachel and Kia. I imagined fireworks would burst, but they didn't. It was the end of the day, and everyone was itching for that last bell to ring.

"Ugh, I hate seniors!" Rachel complained, slamming her head on her desk with such force, I thought she would break the desk.

"Senior pranks?" I asked.

"How'd ya guess?" she asked sarcastically.

"I got brains, not just beauty." I said, partly joking.

"No, seriously, they are tripping me, throwing water balloons at me, one of them threw a f*cking tomato at me, for Cherry's sake!" she complained, a frown settling upon her beautiful face. She said Cherry's instead of Christ because she thought it was disrespectful, and apparently she still does.

"Ouch, I never got it that bad last year."

"Lucky b*tch."

"Hey! No need to snap at me!" I said, raising my arms in defense.

"Sorry, I just have got to do something about this! This is the beginning of the year, though, first week, maybe it'll get better." She said, hopeful.

"Maybe." I said.

The bell rang and everyone shuffled out of the room.

"Hey you need a ride?" I asked her.

"Naw, I'm going with Kia, she's got her driver's license, and super shiny car, courtesy of moi!" she said, using the only amount of French she knew.

"Okay, see you tomorrow." I said, heading out the door.

"Laterzzzzzzzzzzzzzz." She said, dragging out the z.

Ricky's P.O.V

I watched her exit the classroom and felt the urge to follow her. Soon enough I thought.

Soon enough she would be mine.

Only mine.

Mine.
