Reggie Mantle has only felt jealous of over two things. Jealously about Archie being Football Captain. Jealously of Archie's close relationship with his father. But now, there's a third jealousy.
After Diana shortly left him alone, he went to his locker and noticed Amayla and Archie talking. Reggie never let his jealousy get in the way of his friendship with Archie until now.
Archie scans Amayla's schedule, trying to show her directions around the school. 
"It's okay because your schedule is the same as mine and my friends." Archie smiles.
Amayla warmly smiles at Archie. Archie tries to speak until Reggie's arm locks Archie, twirls him around, and ruffles his hair. They both laugh and stop goofing around until they see Amayla blinking the entire time. 
"Oh, Reggie, this is Amayla; she's new -"
"I know she's my new neighbor, I drove  her and her sister to school," Reggie says as he leans onto the lockers. 
"You? Reggie Mantle? Let people sit in your Bella while you're driving to school?"
Reggie's eyes widen, and he looks down. 
"Whose's Bella?" Amayla asks.
"Reggie's car, he named it Bella -" 
Reggie clears his throat and starts to glare at Archie. Amayla noticed the tension and cutely cleared
her throat.
"Um, Archie, it says for the first hour that I have journalism?"
"Oh, Journalism 101 with Mr. Peters. Come on, I'll take you to the class and introduce you to some of my friends who have that class." Archie says.
Amayla nods and starts walking with Andrews as they both leave Mantle leaning on the lockers.
Archie opens the door for Amayla as he introduces her to Mr. Peters. Mr. Peters was impressed by Amayla's work, knowing that she was the school's newspaper writer at her old school. 
"You seem to have a real writing talent, Ms. Harris!"
"Thank you, I appreciate it," Amayla says as she smiles.
"I think I know where to seat you. You'll be sitting with Betty, Kevin, and Veronica." 
Amayla follows Mr. Peters to the table with the three teens talking and writing down ideas. After the introduction, Amayla sits down and waves at everyone.
"Hi, I'm Betty, and this is Kevin and Veronica," Betty says as she motions to everyone at the table.
"Oh, um hi -"
"So you already met Mantle and Andrews, huh?" Kevin says. 
"Gosh Kevin, you and drama." Veronica says as she rolls her eyes and smiles.
"Drama and Tea are appetizing to me, okay?? They both match perfectly. But it seems like Andrews is crushing on the new student -"
"Oh no, me and Archie just met. It's not a big deal."
"Then explain why Mantle gave you a ride to school?"
