I was minding my own business making my way to the lesson and the teacher would more likely give me detention again. He hated me. I wish they'd just give me another goddamn tech teacher. He's had it in for me since I began year ten. Now in year eleven, it would be no different. Then something soft crashed into my chest. God, don't these newbies know to watch where they are going?

I guess I can have a little fun with this one. Most kids stay away from me knowing of my reputation in this school. I guess this one didn't.

I grinned, this was going to be so much fun.

I looked down, her red head of curls was all I could see until she looked up. I looked into her sapphire eyes god she was so beautiful. My breath hitched and I swallowed hard thinking of the first thing that came into my head. "Well hello there squirt."

She looked at me like a deer caught in headlights and apologised. God, she was so cute.

I accepted her apology and offered to walk her to her lesson, something I had never done before. But what the hell, it was on my way. I learned her name was Courtney and she liked not only listening to music but singing, a girl after my own heart.

We said our goodbyes and I went into my lesson and as per the first day and I got detention, what's wrong with this prick? I wasn't even five minutes late. Maybe it was the fact I drifted off thinking about my little squirt Courtney, even her name sounded hot and almost sexy. If she was in my year I would've claimed her by now.

My friends know me better than anyone and they know when I'm interested in a girl I go for it. But not this time, she's too young and I have needs only a girl my age can give me.

My friends noticed I was spacing out and kept nudging me so I didn't get into more shit.

We left after the bell to go to lunch. "Out with it Jo."

"Out with what?"

"Who's the chick?"

"There isn't one."

"Cut the crap, Jo. The only time you get into trouble is either when you've gotten into a fight or a chick is on your mind "

True.

"Well, it's not number one cause you haven't been called into the Headteacher's office so it's number two so who is the lucky girl?"

"I wouldn't call her lucky."

"Shut up Briggs."

"Her name is Courtney. She's new."

"You mean new as in year seven, new?"

I nodded.

"Damn Jo we know you've had most the girls in our year but damn a V Jo you're losing your touch "

"She's different, I like her and anyone who disrespects her will have me to deal with."

"Sure Jo whatever you say."

We all got our lunch sitting down. I looked over and there she was sitting with her friends, she looked up and I winked. She smiled. I watched as her friends spoke to her no doubt about me and who I was.

"Is that her Jo?"

I nodded.

"She's cute. Hey, Robbie ain't your bro just started?"

"Yeah, today. Mom insisted he walked with me when he had no intention to. He has his friends to walk here with, so once we were out of sight of the house and mom we said goodbyes."

"Do you think he knows her?"

"I'm not sure, maybe there's a lot of new kids."

"She's someone you can hardly miss. I mean look at her. If she
