"Everyone, this is our new student Cara Oliver. Say aardvark everyone" A chorus of aardvarks filled the room. "Cara Oliver, this is everyone. Say Cantaloupe, Cara."

"Cantaloupe?" It was more of a question then a response, but the old homeless looking teacher seemed pleased.

"Now Cara, go sit in that chair over there by Harris and the other Oliver."

"Great, now I'm the other Oliver" Oliver muttered jokingly. She slowly took her seat next to the two boys.

"I'm Ethan, that's Daniel on your other side."

"Hey Cara" Daniel smiled. Ethan continued.

"Sorry about Sikowitz, you'll get used to it though." Cara looked the boy over. He was thin and muscular, his almost black hair short and messy and his eyes were wide and brown. She supposed he'd be cute, but something about him was a huge romantic turn-off.

"Cantaloupe Ethan" she said jokingly.

"Aardvark to you too" he laughed.

"Mr. and Mrs. Oliver, you must be quiet. Try to be like a fly, they're much quieter then mice."

"It's Miss if they're not married" the girl in front of her said flatly.

"I suppose Dez is right" Sikowitz considered. "May I ask if you two are in relations with each other?"

"Never met him before." Cara replied.

"I had a dream once... oh wait she was a blonde" Ethan joked.


"Hey Oliver II, over here!" Cara was more then grateful when Ethan called her over to his table for lunch. Even though she'd known him for only a few hours, she really liked Ethan.

She sat down between him and Daniel from Sikowitz's class. "Hey Cara" he greeted. Their were three other kids at the table too. The girl Dez, who seemed very bitter, a blue-haired, very hyper boy and a wavy haired semi-nerdy looking girl with a puppet.

"This is Dez" Ethan said gesturing to the bitter girl.

"She knows that" Dez said loudly. Cara wasn't 100% sure that Dez was friendly.

"That's..."

"I'm Carter!" The hyper boy said quickly.

"Yes, that's Carter" Ethan repeated.

"Cool, nice to meet you Carter" Cara smiled.

"Want to to juice your taco? My mom got me a portable juicer for my birthday!"

"No thanks" Cara said politely. Carter's smile didn't waver.

"That is Sarah, and her uh, friend Izzy" Ethan continued.

"Nice to meet you" Sarah said. Then Izzy's mouth moved.

"What's so nice about it?"

"Quiet Izzy!" Sarah snapped.

"Sarah got Izzy as a present from her dad when she was 13. Her dad's is named Rex."

"Cool" Cara said.


"I want to hear all about it!" Tori Oliver yelled as her daughter opened the door.

"It was awesome! I met these kids, and I'm already one of them, and that guy Sikowitz was still there!"

"Wouldn't he be like fifty four?"

"Yeah, he likes to tell everyone how old he is, just like you said."

"Tell me about your friends" Tori said, jumping onto the couch. Cara slipped off her backpack and belly flopped onto the other side.

"Well there's Carter. He has blue hair, is extremely hyper and asked to juice my taco. Then there's Sarah, who has a rude puppet Izzy, Dez, who I'm still not 100% sure is friendly, Daniel, he loves music and Ethan, he likes to make jokes, loves acting and looks like...um...His eyes are just like yours, the exact same!"

"That's weird, I had this friend when I went there named Cat, who is exactly like you described Carter, except she's a girl and has red hair!"

"Carter must be her kid! He said his mom's name was Cat and she went to Hollywood Arts!" Tori's eyes widened.

"I've got to go see her! I miss Cat so much! And that Sarah, sounds just like Robbie, who had a puppet Rex!"

"Oh My Gosh! She mentioned Rex!"

"Oh yay, now I get to visit two friends!" Tori smiled. "Wait... Dez sounds a lot like Jade and Daniel like Andre!"

"With our fortune, She's probably Jade's kid and he's probably Andre's!" Cara laughed. "Did you have any other friends in high school?"

"Well there was one more..."
