I know, the first part was short. Was just bored one day and started writing, I promise I'll try to make them longer! Bur hey, better to have little words that say a lot than more words that ruin the story, am I right?

Anyway, here's chapter two (: enjoy!

Remember to comment, fan, all that fun stuff. I wouldn't turn down any covers either, just sayin'.

Chapter Two

<><><><><><><><><><><><><>

I was walking to history class when all of a sudden I was tackled from behind and nearly fell over. "What the hell? What was that... oh hey Spence. A little warning next time, please? What's up?"

"Oh nothing much... just got a date with Leighton."

"Leighton? Who's Leighton?" I ask.

"The new beautiful blonde girl who you met this morning dude!"

"Oh..." Well at least I know her name now. "Well the best of luck to you man, I gotta get to class. See you after school?"

"Well actually that's when my date is so not today bro, thats what i came to tell you. So see ya!"

"Alright, bye." At that I turned and ran for my class, knowing I'll be late if I don't.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I make it just as the bell rings, getting me a nasty look from Ms. Wartman. "You're late," she said in that old gravelly voice that makes every student want to puke their guts out. I mean literally it's like she swallowed a frog down the wrong pipe.

"But I..." I try to explain, I mean I WAS in class before the bell stopped ringing. Stupid old toad.

"No buts! This time I'll just give you a warning but next time you're late to my class it's off to detention with you!"

'And you wonder why nobody likes you' I think to myself. Out loud I say, "Alright I'll remember that. Thank you for the warning." I turn toward the back of the room to my seat. When I sit down, I look over and notice that the new girl, Leighton, is sitting two seats to my left. I look away before she notices me staring.

"Okay class open your textbooks to page 174. Today we are going to learn about the Civil War. I expect notes on the chapter and there will be a quiz on it tomorrow."

You can hear the audible groans that work it's way around the room as everyone starts complaining.

"Er, excuse me, Ms. Wartman?" I hear Leighton start to talk. "I'm new here and haven't gotten a book yet."

"Well you'll just have to use an extra copy in the back. Now, everybody start reading, and no talking!" she turns back to her desk in front and starts writing something. Looks like grading tests. Well, better get started on this chapter.

I open the book to the page and start reading. No sooner had I gotten past the first paragraph when a folded piece of paper lands on top of the paragraph I was reading. I slowly brought the note to my lap, opening it carefully. Paper has a tendency to be extremely loud in a silent room. I open the note to read: 'I saw you looking at me earlier. Meet me by the big oak tree in the park after school. Leighton <3'

'Oh crap...'
