Jane walks into class early. She had nothing better to do. There wasn't anyone so far that has interested her. She sat down in an empty seat next to the window and stared. She watched different people. Couples, singles, groupies, everyone. She wanted to get the gist of how it's going to be here. She wants to fit in. At her last school it was all about clicks. That is the last thing that Jane wants in this school.

Her last school was crazy about clicks. You couldn't join anything without getting looked at in a funny way or rejected for not being friends with a certain group. She wanted to try and do back stage when she was a freshmen and it was shoved back into her face. People accused her of messing everything up when the only thing she got to do was clean.

She snapped back into reality and opened her writing notebook and started to write a poem that she had just thought up:

Alone

No one understands
What it’s like
Not being noticed
By whom you want to be noticed by
Or in the wrong way.
It’s so hard.

Uncontrolling emotions
Hitting the walls.
On the ground
Is where to avoid them.
All the others getting
Smacked
Knocked
Crashed
Into, but not noticing

Getting up.
Not caring.
Fighting away the
Emotions.
Walking away.
Good-bye.

Closing my eyes.
Breathing slower.
Relax.

Now I am Alone.

She looked up to find someone entering the room. A feel of panic struck her stomach as she watched them come in and sit down.

Cava

Seven-twenty-seven. Three minutes till that blasted teacher gets started. Cava walked in, her heels clicking. She slid into her seat just as it turned seven-twenty-eight. She yawned and leaned back. As usual, she had had only six hours of sleep. Closing her eyes, she rested.

Suddenly Cava realized that someone else was there. She straightened, not wanting to embarrass herself and sleep off class. Instead she began humming a song. "Somebody once told me the world was gonna roll me. I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed. She was looking kinda dumb with her finger and her thumb in the shape of an L on her forehead. Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming. Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running. Didn't make sense not to live for fun. Your brain gets smart, but your head gets dumb. So much to do, so much to see, so what's wrong with taking the backstreets. You never know if you don't go. You never shine if you don't glow.

"Hey now, you're an all star, get your game on, go play. Hey now, you're a rock star, get the show on, get paid. And all that glitters is gold. Only shooting stars break the mold.

"It's a cool place, and they say it gets colder. You're bundled up now but wait til you get older. But the meteor men beg to differ, judging by the hole in the satellite picture.

"The ice we skate is getting pretty thin. The water's getting warm so you might as well swim. My world's on fire, how 'bout yours? That's the way I like it and I never get bored."

Jane

She turned to this girl and smiled. Looking around, Jane thought I guess everyone comes in late. The bell is going to rings soon. Well it is just the first day of school. She sticks her nose back into her book and waited for more people to come or the teacher to start class or even for the girl who just came in to talk to her.

She started to doodle. Her doodle turned into a sea of waves of green and each wave had a tip of dark green. Why don't I just talk to that girl? It's not like anything bad is going to happen if I do or if I don't. Well she could not like you and walk move her seat. Oh who cares!

Jane finally turned back to the girl and said, "Hey. I'm Jane. What's your name?" She could feel her face getting a little red.

Cava

She saw the smile the other girl gave her and she smiled back a little nervously. Then she stuck her nose in the book again. Cava was outraged. This girl didn't care at all! She was about to move when the girl said she was Jane. Finally, some personality. Cava smiled offhandly. "I'm Cava. Seventeen. I just came here from Europe."

Cava pursed her lips. She knew Jane's name, but giving out ASL was too much to bear. She shouldn't have given it out anyway. So what's wrong with hitting the back streets? She almost groaned. Now the friggin song was stuck in her friggin head and she didn't friggin know what to do about it.

Jane

Wow Europe. "I'm actually new here too. I'm from a different town though. 16. Where did you used to live?" Jane asked trying to sound interesting. She played with her pen between her fingers. "I know these first questions suck. You're going to get them asked a lot, I bet." That was just plain stupid to say. Well you said it there is no going back now. She thought to herself as she figuratively kicked herself.

Cava

"Where did you used to live?"

Slightly troubled, Cava began to chew on her pencil. "I--"

"I know these first questions suck. You're going to get them asked a lot, I bet."

"I--I lived in the Netherlands." There was a slight tremble in her voice. She missed it so much. She didn't talk about Jane's last comment, however.

Jane

"Wow. Really? You must really miss it. I'm sorry. I'd tell you that this is a great place but, ha I wouldn't know. What other classses do you have?" Jane asked her, Jane was actually interested. This is a lot easier when someone else is new too.
