* * First Day * *


Isabel walked into the Drama class and was immediately bowled over the totally hot guy that was talking to a really cute girl with curly blonde hair. She could not take her eyes off of him. He had a nice athletic build and the dreamiest blue (?) eyes. His dark brown hair was slightly mussed making her want to reach out and run her hands through the soft short strands.

She was jerked out of a fantasy that just popped to mind by the sound of the teacher’s voice. “OK class, settle down. We have a new student amongst us. And she comes all the way from Roswell, New Mexico.”

Isabel groaned. She totally did not want any attention drawn to her. She really got sick and tired of being Ms Popular. Hated the attention from all the fake friends. Not knowing who your true friends was. Having everyone copy your style of dress. Not being able to be original.

“Isabel could you tell us a little bit about yourself?” The teacher asked.

She noticed the sexy guy was not even paying attention to her. He was still talking to the blonde next to him. She walked to the front of the class.

“Well um… My name is Isabella Nicole Evans. I’m sixteen years old. We moved here from New Mexico just last week. I hate algebra but I love to act.”

“Well then Ms Evans you’re going to love this class then.” He looked around the room before letting his eyes fall on one person. “Mr. Valenti raise your hand.”

She watched as the guy that she had been ogling hand went up into the air. “Ms Evans I want you to sit next to him. Mr. Valenti, I want you to update Ms Evans on all that has transpired in this class.”

She went over to him and sat at the empty seat to his right. ‘Damn, he’s even sexier up close.’

He smiled at her and held out his hand. “I’m Kyle Valenti.” ‘Damn she’s hot.’ Passed through his mind.

“Isabel Evans.” She stammered. ‘God I’m stammering. I never stuttered before in my life.’

Just then the blonde leaned over Kyle’s shoulder. “So Isabel, what other interest do you have besides drama? Have you ever thought about joining the squad?”

Kyle shrugged the blonde imp off his shoulder. “Stop trying to recruit, Tess. Gosh you sound just like the military. Antaria’s Squad Wants You!”

Tess stuck her tongue out at him and rolled her eyes. Kyle ignored her. Isabel looked on in some amusement and a lot of disappointment. She figured that they were dating. “I’ve been cheering since I was eight, but I don’t plan to join the squad again. It’s not something I want to do any longer.”

“Oh don’t tell me you were apart of the airhead committee.” Kyle said with a groan.

“Hey I resent that Valenti.” Tess growled with all the fierceness of a harmless kitty.

He laughed. “Okay, sis. I don’t think you’re an airhead but you do have to admit some of those girls are seriously lacking in the brain department.”

Isabel perked up when she heard him say sis. “So you two are brother and sister?”

Kyle smiled. “Yeah this is my baby sis, Kitessa Valenti.”

“Hey I aint a baby Kyle. We’re only two years apart.” Tess ignored her brother and questioned Isabel. “Do you have any siblings?”

Before Isabel could speak a beautiful tall leggy brunette walked into the room. “Sorry I’m late, Mr. Devon, but I was finishing up a test for Mrs. Hanigan.”

“No problem Ms Parker.” He took the note she handed him and waved her to her seat.

Once she came into the class Tess attitude did a total about face. She became what Maria termed a Liz clone. Kyle just shook his head and totally ignored that clique, though many of the girls tried to flirt with him. Why not? After all he was the captain of the football team.

“Who is that?” Isabel asked in curiosity. She recognized Liz as the girl that was in the car with the guy that Maria liked.

“Elizabeth Parker, Queen of Antaria High. I like to call her the stuck up bitch of the East. She dates a friend of mine Michael Guerin.

Isabel nodded as if she knew who he was. She then went back to star at Kyle’s sexy body. “So Kyle, do you play any sports?”

“Yeah I’m on the football team.”

“Oh!” She wanted to brush him off as just another dumb jock. But there was just something about him that kept her totally captivated. She spent the rest of the class talking to him and getting to know him better.
