Genesis: A New Chapter
Ch. 3
"You all seemed to have introduced yourselves. I won't keep you long. All the others have had a chance to meet with me, since they went to the middle school. You are the only five to not. Just know I'm here for you. I'm not going to bore you with freshmen orientation. I know you guys don't care. You can just lounge around in here till about eleven. That's first lunch. I'll be in my office if you need anything."
"She seems cool," Shannon nudged Amy. "Yeah. I guess. So, what do you do Mike? You seem athletic," Amy flirted, basically ignoring Shannon. As Mike talked all about his football, basketball, and lacrosse career, going to be on all the varsity teams, Shannon turned to talk to Emily and Sammi. "Pfft, boys. Whatever," Shannon scoffed, turning her chair away from Amy. "Yeah, who needs them," Emily said, fitting in. "Riiiight... So, I wanna know more about you guys! I don't know anyone here yet. I'm not on any teams or anything until spring season," Sammi started off, "Shan, can I call you Shan? You look like you play sports. What ya play? Soccer? I mean, that's a pretty big bruise on your hip." "What bruise? Oh that," Shannon said embarrassed, covering her mark, "yeah, soccer. You've got to slow down and get off the sugar, girl! I can barely understand you talking a mile a minute." "Sorry, I get excited when I meet new friends," Sammi answered, pulling at sleeves.
"Um, it's kinda hot in here, and kinda summer... Aren't you hot?" Emily questioned, noticing her nervousness. "Actually, I'm not. I'm cold. All the time. I'm used to Arizona weather. New York's alright, but it's different than what I'm used to," Sammi explained. "Oh Em Gee!" Amy interrupted, "I'm from Arizona, too! That's so cool! I've been here for a year though, just from Albany to Long Beach in the past month," Amy cheerfully said, turning back to Mike. "So anyway, as I was saying, I'm a cheerleader! Guess I'll be at all you games!"
Lunch time rolled around and the five headed off together. They all sat at one half of a long table. Mike's teammates and Amy's cheer squad sat on the other half. "Amy, you sure you want to get yourself into that kind of thing? I mean, you don't even know him," Shannon warned her. "I won't rush, trust me. We're all cool."
