I grabbed my lunch out and slammed my locker shut looking at my schedule one last time. Lunch. This was the hour I had been dreading all day. Suddenly a fimiliar voice sounded behind me. "Hey babe."

"Cole, I thought we had an arrangement. EVerywhere I go you go the oppisite way." I joked walking away from my locker.

"Come on babe. At least let me walk you to lunch." he said slinging his arm over me. I shook it off.

"Lets not and say you didn't" I smiled and minovorured my way through the doors to the lunch room leaving him in the hall. As I opened the metal doors I stared at already formed cliques sitting at thier own precise tables. There was so many little groups of different types of people.My eyes landed on Britt who had already spotted me and was motioning for me to go over there."Hey" i said sheepishly sliding into a seat next to hers. All around the table were strangers giving me weird looks.

"Everyone this is Terra. The girl I was telling you about."Britt announced. "Terra, this is Haley, TJs girlfriend." she said pointing to a blonde girl resembling Britt in a way. Tj was right she was really pretty. "This is Austin, and thats Hudson" She motioned towards a red headed boy leaning up against a blonde girl with curly hair and a smile. "Oh and that's Brent"she continued pointing to a boy casually drawing in his sketch book. "And well you already know JT" I smiled awkwardly and gave a slight wave.

I watched TJ walk over and give a light kiss on Haleys lips causing her cheeks to go a pretty shade of pink. "ew, no PDA" Hudson said flingin her potato chips at the two of them.

"Think I could say the same." Haley joked gesturing towards her and Austin.This caused them to scoot away from each other and a blush to wash across both of thier faces both matching the same shade of pink. Everyone laughed at the sudden wide space that had formed between them and how thier body's were slowly closing the gap back up again.

"So where is Cutter and Cole?" i asked questioning as I looked around the cafeteria.

"Well, Cole is probably trying to find another fling. I heard hime and Tayla broke up. I know shocker." Haley said dryly."But, it is weird Cutter isn't here, normally he sits at the back tables with Cole and his flings."

"DIdn't you hear? Cutter hasn't beeen in any classes since after 1 period. Everyone says he got pissed at Dylan Linx for some comment and just walked out." Hudson announced.

"What did he say?" TJ asked.

"Something about his parents I guess. All i know is it really got to him. Dylan has been trying to pick a fight with him the past 2 weeks since Cole dumped his sister." She continued shoving a sandwich in her mouth.

"Great." JT said rollling his eyes."Think Cole knows?"

"I think a better question would be think Cole cares?" Haley said causing us to gigle.

"I'll text mom and see if he's there." JT said pulling out his iPhone.

"He probably just needs some time to cool off." Haley said resoning with him. Causing JT to put away his phone. "If he doesn't turn up by the end of the day then you can get worried." Almost on cue COle came strolling into the lunch room with a new red head at his hip and a blonde on the other one.

He breezed to a back table and the red-head sat on his lap. It was almost gross watching her fawn over him as a girl sat on both sides of him also.

"WHo had bets on ELizabet Taylor being the next girl."Austin said looking around the table as JT raised his hand. Austin handed over what looked like 5 bucks.

"Huh?" I asked confused.

"They made bets on who his next girl would be." Hudson said shaking her head and rolling her eyes.

"I totally called it." JT smirked. "I know my cousin. I totally knew he would choose her before Emily Mock."

"Completely hotter." Tj chimed in causing him to get a smack in the head by Haley. "But, never better than you."He covered.

"Suck up." JT coughed in his sleeve.

"And which one has the girlfriend?" Britt joked.

"Shut up." He said looking down at his food.

"Burn." Hudson yelled high fiving her best friend.

"So, on to more important matter. So word around school Terra is you have been hanging with Flynn Mastersin?" Britt announced lifting her eyebrows.

"We had first and second hour together is all. He was just showing me the ropes." I annocced shaking it off like it was nothing. It really was.

"Well, he's trouble."Haley said rolling her eyes."Trust me when I say total player. He comes off as a sweet guy but it is an act he pulls on every girl. He also doesn't take no for an answer."

"Isn't he the guy who kept asking you out?" JT asked causing TJ to grow visually tense.

"And stalked Haley and Britt." Hudson added.

"Yeah, he's bad news." Haley continued shaking her head. "Your nice to him once and then he thinks you have a thing. When he finds out you're not single, he goes nuts."

"Wow. He seemed cool didn't realize that." I sat stunned. He seemed like a very down to earth kind of guy.

"He starts off that way. Britt had a giant crush on him. Then, he got creepy and controlling." Hudson said as Austin slowly snaked his arm around her side pullingher closer to him. "Then, when Britt ended things with him, he started stalking her and Haley. Glad I was never nice to him" She added causing everyone to laugh.

"Well, glad I'm dodging that bullet than. " I joked. "He looked at my scheduele and I don't have anymore classes with him today."

"Well, what do you have?" Britt asked curious.

"AP English, Calculus, Business, and Spanish" I replied examining my scheduele.

"JT don't you have Calculus?" Hudson asked looking like she was trying to figure it out in her head a tough problem.

"5th hour not, 6th." he answered noncalantly.

"I think Cutter has it 6th, but I doubt he will be back today." TJ clearified. "Hudson, don't you take AP English?"

"8th hour with Mrs. Duting." she admittied shrugging her shoulders.

"I think I have the same scheduele as Terra." Austin piped in."Well afternoon classes anyway."

"So you can show Terra around?" JT asked looking at him with a smile.

"If it's okay with her?" he proclaimed looking at me but, I am pretty sure that was a question for Hudson who gave an approving nod.

"Sure, maybe than, I won't get lost." I joked

"No promises you are gonna be with Austin and all." Britt joked as the bell rang signalling time to get to class. Oh jeesh....
