//SO OUR CHARACTERS ARE NOW IN MIDDLE SCHOOL! TYLER ROSE, ASHTON, MICHAEL, CHARLOTTE, JOANNA, AND CALUM ARE CLOSER THAN EVER BUT WE ARE STILL MISSING ONE.//

"ATTENTION STUDENTS AND TEACHERS WE NEED CHARLOTTE MILLER TO THE FRONT OFFICE PLEASE THANK YOU." The intercom finishes and all eyes look at Charlotte.

She blushes because she has never liked all the attention. She steps outside of the room not making eye contact with anyone and heads to the office.

"Charlotte!" She hears the principal call her name.

"Did I do something wrong?" She asked.

"You? Of course not." The principal laughed and directed her toward the back only to find Joanna sitting in the hallway chewing gum.

"Joanna? What did you do now? I swear if I'm here because of you I'll stab you!" Charlotte whispers to her.

"Relax you aren't in any trouble. As for me, well let's just say Mr. Johnson found something in his car this morning he didn't expect." She quietly laughed to herself.

"Joanna." Charlotte sighs,"you gotta lay off the pranks ok?" She says.

"Yeah yeah whatever I'll try. So why are you here?" Joanna asked.

"I don't know. I'm really nervous. Can you come with me?" Charlotte grabs her shoulders.

"Are you kidding? I'm not missing this!" Joanna replies. The two walk into the principal's office to find a blonde headed boy sitting in a chair.

"Charlotte I'd like you to meet Luke Hemmings. He's a new student and I want you to show him around and get him involved. Luke this is Charlotte. She one of our best students and I know she can help you." He says smiling at the two but slowly fade when he sees Joanna behind Charlotte.

"Oh and the one behind her is Joanna. Try not to get to close to that one." He leans down to whisper in Luke's ear.

"Ahh you know you love me Dougie!" Joanna playfully punches the principal's arm.

"Don't call me that miss Claire." He looks down at Joanna with a serious look. Joanna didn't mind and walked out the office.

"See ya later new kid!" She says walking down the hallway.

"Miss Miller out of all the people in this school you pick Joanna Claire?" He questioned her.

"She's been my best friend since we were seven. Plus I don't just have her. I have Tyler Rose, Michael, Ashton, and Calum." She laughed.

"Oh that's right. Tyler Rose Sharp huh? I would've never put you two together. It's just you two are so different. She's our head cheerleader and is failing math, and you have all A's and I've never seen you on the field. And Michael Clifford? That boy is almost in here more than Joanna. Don't get me wrong mr. Clifford is a great kid, really funny guy. I'm glad you have Ashton though because that boy is the sweetest kid I've ever met. He made me cookies for my birthday. And as for Mr. Hood well if that boy doesn't raise his grades it's summer school for him. You tell him that, and that includes getting kicked of the futball team." Charlotte patiently listened to him as he pretty much judged her best friends.

"Well alright I think I'll let you two go ahead and start getting used to things." The two kids walk of the office.

"You didn't say a thing in there. I'm I aloud to hear your voice now?" Charlotte looks a the boy with a grin.

"S-sorry I-I just....sorry." He said not looking at her.

"Hey you don't have anything to worry about. I don't bite." She laughed which made Luke a little more comfortable.

"So let's get on with the tour!" She said grabbing his arm. The two walked around the school until the stopped at the end of the hall.

"Ok this is my favorite room in the entire school!" She said opening the double doors.

"The music room!" She lets out a sigh. "I'm in here all the time. Oh but you can't tell anyone that because no one really knows that I'm always in here." She sits down on the chair picking up the violin.

"Can you play any instruments?" Luke asked.

"Psshhhh! Not many just the guitar, drums, violin, flute, trumpet, bass guitar, banjo, piano, and the triangle." She finishes with a ding played on the triangle.

"Wow! That's incredible." Luke sits down also.

"What about you? What do you play?" She asked.

"Just a little guitar but I'm still learning." He shakes his head in embarrassment.

"Well of course you're still learning. So am I. You go through life trying to master each and every thing, but what you don't realize is that the only thing you master in life is the realization that you can't master anything. There's always gonna be more. Does that make since? Sorry I tend to get a little deep into thought." Charlotte laughed.

"No no you're fine and also right about that." There is a moment of silence before Charlotte speaks up.

"Oh I can't wait for you to meet my friends!!!" She said excitedly and dragging the boy the the picnic area.

"Hey guys so this is Luke I was wondering if I'd be cool if he could hang with us." The group just continues to eat and nods.

"So let me introduce you to everyone. This is Ashton, Michael, Calum, and uh you've met Joanna." They all nod as their names are called.

"Wait wasn't there another girl you said. What was her name Tyler something?" Luke looks at Charlotte then to the group.

"Oh well since today is Tuesday that's means she should be sitting about umm there." Charlotte points to a very crowded table which Tyler Rose was in the middle of.

"I thought she was friends with you guys?" Luke said.

"She is and she would much rather sit with us, but on Tuesdays and Thursday's the cheerleaders have it. The uh cheerleaders don't really approve of us." Joanna adds.

"Don't worry she's not like all the other cheerleaders. She's sweet and nice and maybe even a little to nice." Charlotte said smiling.

"Oh well she sounds great and I'm glad I met you guys. I thought today was gonna suck." Luke takes a heavy breath and let's it out.

"Well mate you're welcome to sit with us whenever you want." Ashton smiles.
