Hey guys here is the new chapter! I will be having my exams for the next two weeks so I can't upload much! Also want to ask if you would like to know more of Julie's friends or not? I can't decide if I should introduce them the next chapter.

--------

'Ju-Julie?' He said uncertainly, I nodded and smile reassuringly.

'I would like it better if you call me Anna, otherwise Jules is fine.' I said, Andy's frown deepened.

'What happened?' He asked, then paused. ' Does it have something to do with the party? Was it what my brother said?' He added after a moment of hesitation.

'You heard what he said?' My voice rose an octave, my brows shooting up with surprise, drawing attention from people nearby, thankfully the teacher hasn't arrived yet. I can't believed he heard it, this is so embarrassing, my cheeks must be blood red by now! That explained why he was so nice.

'Sort of, I needed a change anyway.' I replied, lowering my voice so not to attract more attention, it was kind of true about me needing a change. Andy shook his head in disbelieve.

'You don't need to care what they say about you, I think you were ...' Andy said heatedly, before coming to an abrupt stop and sinking back into his seat, I looked at him curiously, it's unlike Andy to loose his temper over anything.

'My sister would have force a make over on me before she graduate anyway, it really doesn't have much to do with what Aidan said.' I told him quietly, Gina would have wanted me to be the next queen bee, apart from the fact that I wouldn't have let Gina get away with the makeover quiet as easily.

Andy gave out a reluctant sigh. 'I guess I over reacted.' He said, 'And um... you look great.' he added a bit uncomfortably. I suppressed a smile, he looked so cute. I wish I have a brother like him ( no offense Dylan, but you kind of suck in comparison)

The teacher walked in just then, I quickly turned my attention back to the teacher, and didn't catch the complicated look in Andy's eyes.

Somehow I managed to go through trig unscratched, the next lesson is Chemistry, with Mrs Jackson. Great, she loves to make us do practicals before we even learn about the topic, otherwise she is lovely.

I looked around and disappointed to see that again no one I am friends with are in the class, why is this happening to me? I swear whoever put me in my classes this year have a grudge against me.

'Will those of you with last names A to N please come and line up and get a slip and read off the name, that person will be your lab partner for the rest of the semester.' Mrs Jackson said, holding one of those voting box thing with a hole large enough for a hand to go through. I groaned internally, Mrs Jackson loved to set us up with lab partners randomly, ever since some incident involving some idiotic senior two years ago who ended up mixing up some poisonous gas causing emergency evacuation of the entire science block.

I waited patiently for my turn, and randomly took a slip out, Aidan Owen, what?! I felt like there is a lump inside my throat, fate really is toying with me today. I can't deal with him so soon!

Mrs Jackson gave me a look to say, well-read-it-out-already, I pushed down the rage of panic inside me and read out his name.

All the girls immediately turned to look at me in jealousy, those behind me sighed in defeat. Argh great, now I get to be lab partner with the guy that I had a crush on as well as having half a dozen girls shooting daggers at me with their eyes.

Aidan, who obviously had no clue who I am, smiled brightly at me, relieved that he didn't have to be lab partner with some geek (which he would have if Gina hadn't given me a make over) like his jock friend behind me, whose lab partner is Katie, the crown geek of my year.

'Hi, my name is Aidan.' He said smiling at me, I rolled my eyes internally although a blush had crept onto my face, damn my weak spot for cute guys, even though this guy practically crushed my heart. Then it hits me, he don't know who I am.

'Hey, I am Anna, short for Julianna.' I said, returning his smile, looking closely at his face to see if there is a sign of recognition, nope, nothing. God, there is only one Julianna in the entire freaking school, granted, he isn't all that bright to begin with (hence the Sophomore Chem class), but seriously...

'So today we will be doing an experiment with oxidation of acids to aldehyde and keystones.' Mrs Jackson said, handing us the instructions. Aidan looked at the paper, dumb-folded, I sighed, looks like I have to do all the work.

'Can you go and get all the equipment, it's listed on the top.' I said to him, he might as well make himself useful. I browsed through the instruction quickly, at least it's pretty straight forward. I started to set up the apparatus that Aidan had managed to carry back while he stood next to me.

'So, are you new to the school.' Aidan asked, while I keep on setting the apparatus up, I resist the urge to roll my eyes, can't he at least help?

'Nope.' I replied, ' can you pass me the pear shape flask? And get the Bunsen burner ready.' Aidan passed me the flask before heading off to get the matches.

'But you must be new, otherwise I would have remember seeing a pretty girl like you.' Aidan said, returning with the matches and starting the Bunsen burner, blushing furiously, he was obviously flirting with me, despite the fact that Whitney is also in the classroom (somewhere in the front, so she didn't see this.) Although my brain is filled with disgust about his disgraceful behaviors, my hormonal system have another mind of their own.

'Mr. Owen, would you kindly stop chatting up Miss Montrose and get back to work?' Mrs Jackson said to us as she came by our bench, causing the people on the bench next to us to laugh quietly. I blushed furiously and turn my back on Aidan to get the chemicals.

'Wait, you are Julianna Montrose?' Aidan's brain finally placed all the pieces back together and almost shouted it out, this time loud enough for the entire class to hear. Everyone's heads turned to look at us, I put down the chemicals I was holding, my inside slightly shaking from embarrassment result from all the attention.

'Yes, there is only one Julianna in the entire school.' I informed him coolly, the rest of class still stared at me, until Mrs Jackson tell everyone off and make us get back to work.

'Wow, you have changed.' Aidan said, checking me out, I saw that Whitney's attention was still on us and she looked furious. Aidan didn't seem to noticed though, and continue to look at me from head to toe.

'Um..yeah, I guess.' I said shifting away from him, ew what a perv, but god that got to be the worst respond of the year. Not that Aidan seemed to noticed, he murmured something to himself, I caught a few words but it didn't really make any sense, something about Montrose sisters, Whitney and the football team.

'It's a good change.' Aidan clarified, I ignored his attempts at flirting with me and got on with the experiment. The rest of the class was uneventful, although we very nearly cause an explosion.

By then it was time to pack up, Aidan was actually quite helpful as an assistant, so we were one of the first people out of the classroom. Aidan tapped me on my shoulder so I turned to look at him.

'So, do you want to hang out during lunch or something.' He asked, my eyes widened, he is asking me to join him at lunch, with his girlfriend as well?! What an idiot.

'Um...actually, I promised someone else.' I said, feigning regret in my voice, he seemed surprise that I turned him down, I felt happy about the fact that he actually tried to ask me out giving me a chance to reject him (sweet revenge), but seriously, this guy has a girlfriend, granted it is Whitney, but still.

'See you later.' I smiled brightly at him as the warning bell for next lesson rang again, making me jump. I dislike being late to anything, so I quickly rushed back to my locker leaving Aidan behind.

I have Gym with Hannah, finally a lesson where we can be together. I hate sport, but it's mandatory for two years in our school, so I did it last year and this year as well to get it over and done with quickly.

We got changed in the changing room and headed towards our school gym with the rest of class. 'I am doing the most interesting art project this year.' Hannah told me, jumping up and down like a child at Christmas eve. I rolled my eyes, she said that last time and her project was about fish.

'No seriously, this time I am going to amaze you!' She said, sticking her chin out, making me laugh. We all sat down at the side benches of the gym while we waited for the rest of the class to turn up. Our gym teacher is Miss Wilkinson, she was fresh out of college last year and this is her first job, so she takes things very seriously.

'Alright class, we will be taking it easy and girls are playing badminton today, boys, you are playing basketball with Mrs Patil.' Miss Wilkinson shouted. 'We will be playing doubles, so please get into pairs.'

Me and Hannah immediately moved closer to each other, the rest of the class consisted of us lazily flinging the badminton ball back and forth. Me and Hannah had a good laugh over Whitney's bad serving skills though, she kept hitting the net or poor Erin who was at the court next to her.

By the end of class we didn't even break a sweat, gym class is one of the largest classes and Miss Wilkinson spend more time on the athletic people, so we usually get away with doing nothing. This means that we don't have to fight over the limited shower spaces in gym and waste half our lunch time.

We walked into the cafeteria, the noise level in here hits me like a heat wave making my ears buzz. I winced slightly at the noise, this is one thing in high school that I don't want to get use to, because I don't want to be deaf.

We got in the lunch queue, I went on my tippy-toe to try and see what they are serving today, but even with my wedges I am too short to look over the crowd of people in front of me. Hannah noticed this and laughed, I shot her a glare which didn't shut her up, but at least made her laugh turns into a giggle.

'Hey Anna.' I was frowning over choosing Spaghetti Carbonara or Burger when I heard someone called my name, and then this someone put his hands either side of my body making me jumped. I turned around with many insults in mind and came face to face with Will. Boy, we seemed to meet like that a lot.
