AN-Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, all loyal fanfic readers...Katie Banks has returned!
Ah,it's soo good to be back. Let's start this chapter huh?
Katie Banks walked into Eden Hall Academy, her head held high. As she walked down the hallway, the jocks and cheerleaders didn't bother her anymore. If anything, they gave her a sense of normalcy. She was coming back to a place she once despised, until he crossed her path that is.
She made her way to her locker, no cheerleaders or jocks in sight. She tried working the combination, and to her surprise, it worked.
''Damn, I was hoping to be your knight in shining armor.'' heard Katie as two strong arms wrapped around her.
''Aw, maybe next time, sweetheart.'' Katie said.
She turned around and was face to face with Charlie Conway, captain of the JV team, best friend to her brother, and boyfriend to her. She kissed him.
''So, how's your first morning back?'' she asked.
He grinned and leaned against the lockers next to her while she dug through hers.
''I talked to Orion. The Ducks have been upgraded to Varsity.'' he said, proudly.
Katie grinned and kissed him again. ''Way to go!''
''The only bad part is that Orion won't be able to be our Coach anymore.''
''I guess you're going to have to break in the new guy huh?'' she asked.
He nodded and yawned.
''Tired much?'' she asked.
''Yeah.'' he replied, softly.
''Are they still fighting?'' she wondered.
Charlie nodded softly. Lately things hadn't been going so well between his mother and step-father.
Katie closed her locker and took his hand. ''Maybe it will get better.''
He pulled her towards him and kissed her softly. ''I hope so.''
He pressed his forehead against hers and smiled at her. ''You look beautiful.''
Katie blushed softly, looking down at her outfit. She was wearing jeans, her regular tennis shoes. She was wearing a long sleeve shirt and her hair was actually down for once, but she didn't see what he saw.
''I look the same as always do.''
''Well, you always look beautiful.'' he whispered.
They kissed again.
''Katie!'' a voice screamed.
The couple broke apart, and Charlie rolled his eyes. ''Oh God.''
''Hey Maddie.'' Katie said, greeting her best friend.
Maddie Thomas was wearing a skirt and a light blue tank-top. Her red hair was a mess of curls that framed her face.
She hugged Katie. ''We're sophomores! Sophomores!''
''So?'' Katie asked.
''That means, more people will talk to us. More guys will look at us. Kat, this is our year!'' Maddie exclaimed.
Charlie put an arm around Katie's shoulders. ''No guys better be looking at you.''
Katie giggled and Maddie rolled her eyes. ''Don't worry Charlie, she can't ever stop talking about you, or wanting to be near you. Some random loser won't change that.''
Charlie's grin widened and Katie's blush deepened.
''Thanks Mads.'' Katie said.
Maddie just grinned. ''Well, I'm going to find other people to talk to, who share my ideas and good will. Ta-ta!''
She skipped merrily down the hallway. ''Why do you guys hang out again?''
Katie slapped his chest softly. ''Walk me to class Conway?''
''My pleasure, darling.''
Down the hallway from where Charlie and Katie were, stood two ducks. One duck was pressed against the lockers while the other was kissing them, passionately.
''Uh, hello! You guys are in a school hallway.''
Guy turned around and smiled at Maddie. Connie grinned at her.
''Hey Mads. Cute outfit.''
''Thanks. So, how was Florida?'' Maddie asked.
''Wonderful! Guy and I had an amazing time.''
''She made me to on Space Mountain 10 times.'' Guy said.
Connie rolled her eyes. ''You loved it, you know it.''
''Then we had to watch my brother for a while. My parents wanted some alone time.'' Guy said, with a shudder.
''Sounds you had a lot of fun.'' Maddie said, sarcastically.
Connie elbowed her boyfriend. ''Don't listen to him, it was incredible.''
''The best part was being with you.'' Guy said, softly.
Connie smiled softly and brought her lips to his once more. Maddie left them hurriedly as they started making out again.
As Maddie walked away from Connie and Guy, she passed by Adam and Julie. They looked much like Connie and Guy did at the moment, so she felt it was best she didn't stop.
As Maddie walked down the hallway, Dean Portman and Fulton Reed were currently at their lockers, checking out all the girls.
''So, what happened with you and Jenna?'' Fulton asked.
Dean shrugged. ''Didn't work out. I wanted to make out, she wanted something more.''
Fulton nodded. ''Well, maybe this year you'll find someone new.''
''All those skirts.'' Dean said, quietly.
As they watched the hallways, Dean's eyes landed on a very cute girl. She was wearing a short skirt, which showed off her slim legs. She had on a light blue tank top, and she was looking good.
''Damn, check out that red-head over here. Maybe she can be my someone new.'' Dean head, nudging Fulton.
The latter looked for the girl, but all he saw was...
''What red-head. Dude, that's Maddie.''
Dean's eyes widened and his mouth dropped open. ''Ma...Maddie!''
Maddie heard her name and looked up, smiling. She walked over to the Bash Brother.
''Hey Dean, hey Fult. How was your guys summer?''
Dean swallowed hard, unable to speak.
''It was good. Yours?'' Fulton asked.
''Hung out with Katie and Charlie mainly. Adam too.''
They heard a bell ring in the distance and Maddie smiled.
''I should go, don't want to be late my first day back. Bye guys.''
Dean watched as she walked away, unable to take his eyes off her.
''That's not Maddie.'' he said.
Fulton laughed. ''Dude, that's Maddie. The same girl you rejected last year. Karma, man.''
They started down the hallway, Fulton still laughing, Dean unable to believe it.
AN-And leaving off there is good, no? Everyone is back, they are all happy. Things are looking good.
