Jess's POV:

Once it was 6:55, we headed outside to walk to the bus stop. As we were walking I saw

two figures already at the bus stop. One of them was rather large with messy black hair,

dark brown eyes, and a green jacket on. The other figure was about three inches shorter

than my brother, Jesse. She was wearing a green beanie with a red shirt and overalls. I

recognized them as we got closer. It was our friends, Axel and Olivia. Olivia is more my

type of person. She's smart, kind, and pays attention whenever I have to speak to her

about something. On the other hand, Axel is a bit... well... out of control. He always gets in

trouble, he's clumsy, and he gets made fun of because of his large size. In fact, he's the

tallest in our school. I feel bad for the poor guy sometimes, even though he can be a bit

much. Jesse waved at them. "Hey guys!" He exclaimed.

"Hey Jesse! Hey Jess!" Olivia replied, "are you guys exited for our first day?"

"Yeah! I can't wait to see our new teachers!" I replied to her.

"What classes did you get?" She asked me.

"Uh..." I said as I was pulling my schedule out, "I have first period, Science with Mrs.

Ellegaard. Second period, Chemistry with Mr. Ivor. Third period, S.T.E.M. (science

technology engineering and math) with Mr. Soren. Fourth Period, Gym with Mr. Gabriel.

And fifth period, Band with Mr. Magnus.

"Wow! We have all the same classes!" She excitedly told me.

"Yay! Axel what do you have?" I asked him.

"Uh same schedule as Jesse and you guys, only Jesse and I have Chemistry and Science

switched."

"Nice! Can't wait to see you guys!" I told them. As I was saying this, the bus pulled up at

the bus stop.

"Get on the bus!" The bus driver yelled at us, obviously hating her job. Jesse, Axel, Olivia

and I got on the bus and took a seat. Axel and Jesse got the free seat in the back of the bus,

leaving no more room for Olivia and I to sit next to each other. She decided to sit down

with another one of my friends, Petra. Since there was no more seats next to my friends, I

wasn't thinking and plopped myself in a seat next to a blonde kid wearing a red and white

striped shirt and a black leather jacket. Oh god... I thought to myself, It's Lukas, leader of

the Ocelots.

Lukas's POV:

This morning I was woken up due to a phone call from my best friend, Aiden. "Yo Luke,

whatcha gonna wear?" He asked me.

"Well, right now I'm wearing my pajamas." I told him, hinting that he'd woken me up.

"Oh, you were sleeping?" He asked me.

"Yeah." I replied to him, "but I think that I'll wear a red and white striped shirt."

"Oh. Wear your jacket today, too." He told me.

"Alright, see you at school." I told him, wanting to start getting ready.

"Alright, bye Luke!" He replied.

Then, I hung up the phone and started getting dressed, making sure to put on my jacket. I

really hoped that I got some classes with them. I looked down at my schedule and I saw

that my first period was science, my second was chemistry, my third was S.T.E.M, my

fourth was Gym, and my fifth was band. Seemed pretty good, although I would've liked to

have gym at the end of the day so I wasn't sweaty in any of my classes. I suppose I can't

change it, so I'll have to deal with it instead. After 20 minutes, I decided that I should start

heading to the bus so I wouldn't be late. As I was running to the bus stop, Aiden saw me

and ran over. "Hi Lukas." He said

"Hello," I replied.

The rest of the time we walked in silence.

As we arrived at the bus stop, the bus pulled up and opened its doors. "Get on!" The bus

driver yelled at us. Sheesh what's her problem? I thought to myself, but obeyed her

command and stepped onto the bus. I sat in the back across from Aiden and Gil, and put

my earbuds in, not wanting to listen to the bus driver scream at more children. About 5

minutes later, I felt someone sit next to me, so I stopped my music and looked over. It

was a pretty girl who looked to be about my age, wearing a red shirt with overalls. She

had emerald green eyes and obsidian black hair kept in place with a golden hair clip.

Wow, she's pretty, I thought to myself. "Hey, I'm Lukas," I blurted out without thinking.

She stared at me with her emerald eyes and replied to me. "My name's Jesse, nice to meet

you," She told me, holding her hand out for me to shake, which I accepted.

Jess's POV:

"Hey, I'm Lukas," I heard him say to me. I looked over at him and stared for a few seconds.

I didn't understand why Lukas would want to talk to a loser like me, then i realised that I

was staring at him longer than I should have. "My name's Jesse, nice to meet you," I told

him putting my hand out for him to shake. I felt heat rush to my cheeks, but I don't think

that he noticed. He grabbed my hand and shook it. He's kinda cute... I thought to myself.

Crap, I'm not supposed to think that about the Ocelots! My brother will kill me. "So, what

classes do you have?" He asked me, breaking the silence. "Oh," I said giving him my

schedule, "here." There was another small silence as he was reading the paper, then he

handed me my paper back and said, "Cool you have the same classes as me!" He actually

sounded excited!

"Woah, that's cool." I replied

"Cool. Cool," told me.

"Cool beans." I replied.

"Coolerama!" He shot back.

The bus stopped in front of the school, and the bus driver yelled at us to get off.

"Hah, see you later Lukas." I told him, leaving the seat to get off.

Do I really like my brother's enemy? I thought to myself as I was leaving.
