Have you seen the new kid?"
"Yeah, he's totally hot!"
Word of D.J.'s arrival spread faster than wildfire. By fourth period there were already girls claiming that he had been a summer fling of theirs one year. One chick was claiming to be his ex and one gay guy swearing he had met him in a chat room. This kid had effected everyone.
"Have you guys met D.J. yet?" A familiar voice popped up behind me on my way to lunch. Not already.
Sure enough when I turned around, Shelly was standing behind me. Her perky blond ponytail bouncing along with her, just as annoyingly as her.
"Ask, Tennessa." Alex winked behind me.
"What?" Shelly pried. "Do you have some risky story you want to add to the mix?"
I rolled my eyes. "No. And even if I did why would I tell you?"
Shelly shot a questioning look at Alex. "She couldn't keep her eyes to herself in English."
"So now Tennessa likes him too." Shelly snorted. "Get in line, hon. Half this school already wants to get with him."
"So how do you know him?" I said changing the subject.
"Oh," Shelly batted a hand in the air. "We've known each other for a while." With that Shelly ran off to join another group of girls.
"Well," Alex said looking at me. "We know he parties in Kingston."
"And that he's probably slept with Shelly." I added.
"Hon," Alex said mocking Shelly's voice. "Half this school has slept with Shelly."
"True."
I watched as a flash of blue coming around the corner distracted me.
Bang! What the heck? My face hit something hard. I saw Alex holding her hand to her mouth, snickering.
Looking up I saw D.J. staring down at me. Oh lord. A smirk lit up his face.
"Hey, babe. There's a wall there." He winked at me and walked off.
