After I walked Cate to her Homeroom I only had five minutes to get to mine.

When I got to my homeroom door, I saw the teacher, Ms.Wilson, standing there, taking the schedule of the students, making sure they were in her homeroom. I gave her mine, and she smile after seeing my name.

"Good to have a good student in my homeroom and Litereature class." She said, and I smile.

I walked in the class to find that three of the cheerleader, including Liz, and nearly the entire football team were there.

Great! I thought.

I walked to an empty seat at the far right.

"OOh, look who's trying to join now." One of the cheerleader, Bella said, after I sat down.

"Isn't it a little too late for that." The Linerback,John, said.

"And aren't you a little too old to be criticizing people." I froze. I've heard that voice before.

"I criticize whom ever I want. New boy." John said.

"John, let him, he has no idea whom he's standing up for." Liz voice said.

"I have a very good idea whom I'm standing up for, thank you very much." The boy said.

"Sorry then." Liz said. "How about we start over. I'm Liz, Liz Spears, and no, I'm not related to Britney Spears. Who are you?"

"Who I am is none of your concern." He said and I look up to see the same boy from back in the parking lot. Liz is starring at him with shock clear in her face.

"You have no idea who I am." She said in a threatening tone.

"Yes I do, you just told me your name is Liz Spears and that you're not related to Britney Spears." He said, a smile on his face.

I laugh out laud and Bella looked at me.

"What are you laughing at?" She ask.

"Obviously at what he just said. Seriously Liz, how dumb can you get?" I ask her, and she glared at me with the rest of the cheerleaders.

The whole class did, 'ooohs' and 'wows'.

"I wouldn't get too happy if I were you, McCarthy." Liz said.

"Sure, sure." I said and look at the boy.

He was looking at me. I look away and at that moment the bell rang. I felt someone seat on the empty desk next to me and look up.

"Hi." He said."I'm Alex. Alex McGregor."

"I'm Lola McCarthy. And thanks." I said.

"For what?" He ask.

"For standing up for me." I said.

"Any time." He smile, a breath taking smile. I felt like my knees were gonna melt.

Damn. I thought.

"Okay, when I call your name I need you to come up here and take your schedule." Ms. wilson said, she looked ouver at the cheerleader and football player,"I also need all of you to be quiet." But they didn't listen."I said BE QUIET!"

Everyone froze and I heard a low chuckle from beside me. I look at Alex and his eyes were full of excitment, but at the sametime confusion.
