**Jenna's POV**

I've been in school for 2 weeks and life is great! I work graveyard shifts now but I'm happy. The new guy Ryan starts today. I'm about to leave campus now. My last class just let out. I was walking when I ran into someone

"Oh! I'm so sorry!" I said looking up

"Uh, it's ok. Hey aren't you in my math class?" He asked

"Yeah I think. I'm Jenna" I said

"Uh, Ricky. Nice to meet you" he said

"Yeah, hey I gotta go, but I'll see you in math?" I said

"Sounds good" Ricky said and walked away

-----------------------------------------------

"I'm here! Sorry I'm late" I said walking behind the counter

"No big deal. This is Ryan. Ryan this is Jenna. She'll help you out tonight" Kevin said

"Cool" is all Ryan said and walked to the back

"Has he been like that all day?" I asked

"He's just getting used to us. Give him a break"

"Can I do homework when it's slow?" I asked

"Yes ma'am fine with me. I'll see you two tomorrow" Kevin said

I got my laptop out and started working on my homework. I eneded up getting all of it done. It's not due till Sunday night and it's Wednesday so I can actually do something this weekend since I have Saturday off.

"Hey, uh, where do these go?" Ryan asked pointing to a pile of albums

"Put them with the new releases up front" I said pointing

"Ok" he said and walked over there

"Hey are you hungry?" I asked seeing that it was already 8

"Yeah, I am to be honest" Ryan answered

"I'll order some pizza. Is that cool with you?"

"Uh, yeah sounds good"

Ryan and I haven't exactly clicked yet, and it bothers be because he's scheduled to do graveyard shifts with me for the next few weeks.

The next day

I sat next to Ricky in math today, because there were no more seats avalible. About halfway through class Ricky slid me a piece of paper

Are you as bored as I am?

Nope. I like math

You're an odd duck

I'm not a duck. I'm a girl

Ricky just laughed and we finished class

"Any plans this weekend?" Ricky asked

"Uh, no. I already did homework, and I have Saturday off. You got plans?"

"Nah, not really. Just band practice Saturday night"

"You're in a band?" I asked

"Yeah, we're not that good yet, but we have a following around here"

"That's awesome Ricky" I said

"Yeah, um, do you wanna catch a movie Saturday afternoon? As friends of course" Ricky asked

"Yeah, uh here's my number." I said writing it on a piece of paper and handing it to him

"Cool, I'll see you Saturday, Jenna" he said as we went to our cars

I didn't think I would make friends here but Ricky seems awesome! I couldn't wait till Saturday. Zoey is really my only friend, but maybe this will change sooner rather than later
