"On Saturday can I go to the park with my friends aunty? You will have to drop me off though, they live about ten minutes from here and have a park in their area", Ally asks.

"Sure, will you be sleeping over at one of their houses? Sebastian has a party to attend", she answers.

"Will you or uncle be home?"

"I will most likely have to work Saturday night, Jake should be home."

"Then Thalia and I can have our first sleepover! Please!" She shrieks.

"Sure, I'll let Jake know about it when he comes tomorrow and Sebastian don't get to drunk because I'm lending you Jake's car", aunty Vanessa turns to me.

"Really? He wouldn't mind?" I gap.

"No he wouldn't because you are a very responsible sixteen year old going to be seventeen in a couple of months."

"That's way in April", Ally coughs.

"Yours is quite July", I state.

"Whatever."

"Hey man", Nick nods at me as I enter the school building.

"Hey, have you seen Amanda yet?" I ask.

"No, but her brothers are here already", he points to the lockers where they are joking around with their friends, a dirty blonde hair girl in their mist.

"Who's the girl?" I ask.

"That's Victoria Stone, head cheer captain and president of the student body, Nathaniel asked her out yesterday", he replies,"by next week they will be officially dating and status change to boyfriend and girlfriend. My money is on them for prom king and queen at the end of the school year", he adds.

"They would last so long together?"

"Yeah, Nathaniel is not a player and Victoria looks like she actually into him. They wouldn't be your ordinary cliche couple, I bet they will go to college and eventually get marry", he shrugs.

"How can you be so sure things wouldn't change? She looks like a sophomore and Nathaniel is a senior", I frown.

"Actually she skipped sophomore this year, she is in junior because she did a few advance subject during the summer so a year apart isn't much."

"But age difference is", I retort.

"Actually her birthday is in December, she'll be seventeen. The twins are turning eighteen in November around Thanksgiving", he explains.

"So big party?"

"We already started planning since before the summer, they want the party at a club this time. It's invitation invites only, so not everyone will make the list also its a secret so keep this between us will you", he whispers.

"If I get invited I will", I smirk.

"Ah a blackmailer, we can use someone like you in our group", he smirks back.

"Invites will be handed out next month, only a few sophomore will be lucky to get in though."

"Count me as one of the lucky one then."

"There they are", he points to the entrance where Amanda, Lily and Brandon just enter. Everyone watches them and I see Nick's eyes on Amanda more.

"Hey Seb", Amanda walks up to me.

"Seb?" I laugh.

"That's your nickname from me, you like it?"

"Well of course, seeing as it came from you", I smirk and she laughs.

"I hope you aren't flirting with my sister Grey!" Daniel yells watching.

"I wouldn't dare do such a thing Jones!" I shout back.

"I'll see you later man, ladies", Nick bows playfully and Lily giggles then covers her mouth and blushes as Nick leaves.

"Hey, you going to that party on Saturday right?" Brandon asks me.

"Yeah, I am now."

"Well Amanda here is getting to come as well, this is her first official party so its up to us to make it memorable for her", he declares.

"Did you bribe your brother?" I ask.

"No, my mom stepped in but I am not allow to get drunk, smoke and hookup with guys. I am cool with that, just want to see how it is for the first time", she shrugs.

"Well I happen to be a party king, I'll teach you everything you need to know", I assure her.

She snorts,"no one more of a party king than Nick."

"I know."

"Welcome to calculus, I hope you are all ready to start off this school year with a positive mind set. I'll be teaching you for the next three times and I hope each one of you pass all your exams", our calculus teacher greets us.

She's in her mid thirties and very energetic.

"My brothers warned me about her, don't let her whole nice at fool you", Amanda says next to me and the people behind and in front of us hear her too.

"Now get out your books and try these questions which I am sure you did in algebra last semester just to warm up those summer brains of yours", she turns to the blackboard.

Amanda groans,"first calculus class and she already wants to kill us."

"Stop being dramatic", I laugh.

Few minutes later

"What kind of question is that miss? We didn't do that in algebra", a student states at the complicated questions.

I did that in trigonometry back in California, that's piece of cake.

"That's not even algebra, its trigonometry", Amanda points out.

"It is? Well Amanda since you are so good in the math department I am sure you are currently working on it."

Amanda looks down at her book which has half of question 1 working out already.

"I'll take that as a yes."

"Nerd", someone coughs.

"Well I hope you all are nerds because calculus is harder than trigonometry", the teacher says.

I finish workout all three questions under fifteen minutes.

"Sebastian I see you stop writing, are you done?" The teacher asks as she walks around.

"Yes, that was piece of cake", I smile and everyone around me gasps.

"Well looks like we got another student with a smart mind, watch out Amanda."

Amanda just scoffs and finish her work.

After class Amanda and I head to the cafeteria for lunch.

"Hey, can you be my tutor for calculus? I know I would totally fail if I don't get help early", a girl approaches me shyly.

"Sure, any topic what giving you problems during the term. Just tell me before or after class and we can go to the library during lunch or after school", I nod.

"Thanks", she skips off.

"You're just going to tutor her just like that?" Amanda frowns.

"I am use to it, hasn't anyone ask you to tutor them?"

"They are too afraid", she grumbles.

"Your brothers?"

"Yeah."

"Hey wanna hangout later after school? Lily and I are going to our favorite eating shop", Amanda asks just before lunch is over.

"Sure, how far is it?"

"Just a few blocks, so you in?'

"Yeah", I nod.

"Great", she leaves as the warning bell rings.
