Isabella blushed at the last few words. This guy was becoming a real pro at making Isabella blush her face red. She carefully unfolded the not, making sure that Mr. Richards didn't catch her reading it.

Cain had pretty neat hand writing for a guy, which Isabella was thankful of or else she would have been there all day trying to decipher one word. It was pretty short too and Isabella didn't take long to read it.

"So, ur name is Isabella. Not many people have that name but I'm guessin it fits the unique person u are. lol I must really embarrass u. I'm also sorry for all the girls having to glare at u. I must attract a lot of un-wanted attention from all these preppy girls. They actually kinda scare me and they all look the same. Is having straight blonde hair and talking in high pitched voice the thing in this hi-skool? U must think I'm real gay right about now. First I have neat handwriting and now I'm passing notes like some other girl. Don't worry, I'm as straight as they come. I just find you interesting so that's why I'm gonna stick w/ya for awhile. Hope u don't mind much. And maybe this will get those girls to cool off. ^_~"

Isabella was in a slight state of shock. Cain just announced himself her friend and they hardly knew each other. This was a complete surprising twist from her normal life. Not that it was a bad twist, it was nice from the everyday normal routine.

When world history class was over, Isabella walked towards the door and was about to walk out.

"Hey, Isabella! Wait up, would cha?" Cain asked from behind.

Isabella turned around to see Cain running to catch up with her. His hair was slightly ruffled from his running and you know what, Isabella thought he looked quite sexy that way. Not that she would ever voice that thought out loud.

"What do you have now?" Cain asked when he caught up with her.

"Well, right now I have lunch and then I go to band for 4B and then chorus for 4C," Isabella answered.

"Wow! You're in chorus, too? That's awesome!" Cain said with excitement of a five year old child who had just heard about the newest video game. "And we're in the same lunch. I'm thinkin' today won't be such a bad day after all."

Isabella was also starting to agree with Cain. Today was definetly one of the most unusual days of Isabella's life yet. First she meets a guy worthy of her attention, then he decides that he wants to be her friend, and then he shares her world history, lunch, and chorus periods. Yep, today looked kinda sunny.

When they got to the cafeteria, Isabella went to her usual table with her usual friends. Cain decided to sit right next to her and got many stares from the girls down the table.

"Well, Isabella, aren't you gonna introduce the fine lookin' guy that you decided to adopt?" one of the girls asked anxiously.

"Oh yea, this is Cain. He just transferred here from another school and we found out that we had the same lunch so he decided to stick with me for awhile," Isabella explained.

Isabella could feel the glares boring through her back as she said that he was sticking with her for awhile. Her friends were even giving her glares.

"Hey Isabella, what's good around here?" Cain asked when he looked down the table and saw  the different varieties of food.

 "I'm just gonna get myself some fries and maybe a can of soda," Isabella answered and with that said, she walked towards the food line. She entered into the kitchen and could just smell the grease that hung in the air.

Isabella took one of the red trays and reached for the small plate of french fries. Before she knew that it happened, Cain had taken her tray and put his chicken fingers on it.

Isabella was about to argue with him when he said,"I'll pay for this and you go get the drinks. I want a can of Raspberry Snapple. You can give me money for your fries when you get back to the table."

Isabella could feel her face flush at the attention that Cain was making this big scene out of nothing. She liked being kind of invisible in school but Cain was making that difficult today.

Isabella didn't want to make a bigger scene, so she waited in the snack line to buy their drinks.

When she got their drinks, she wetn back to the tabel and sat down next to Cain who was already dipping his chicken fingers in ketchup and eating his lunch. She handed Cain his can of Snapple.

Isabella looked down at her plate and saw two mini cups of ketchup and one big chicken finger on top of her fries. When she looked over at Cain's plate, she saw some french fries in his plate. "Hey, why did you take my fries?"

Cain just shrugged his shoulders and said,"I gave you a chicken finger in return. It was a fair deal and I'm not making you pay back for the fries, so technically, those fries are also mine."

Isabella didn't know whether to be angry or just stay shocked at this piece of logic. She felt bad that he had paid for her lunch and tried to give the money back but Cain was true to his word, he would not take the money. Isabella gave up trying and decided that she would not accept his money for the can of Snapple that she had bought. This made her feel a little better that at least she didnt' totally use all his money and had returned the favor.

Isabella ate the chicken finger which actually tasted alright today for once. She couldn't finish the rest of her fries so Cain took them but didn't end up eating them because every girl asked him for some and by the time he was done giving them out, there was none left. Isabella silently laughed at the expression on Cain's face as he saw that there was no fries left for himself.

They heard the bell ring which signaled Isabella that it was time for band.

"See you in chorus!" Cain yelled at her as he went the other way to the chorus room.
