A brunette girl with a side ponytail nervously licks her braces as she shuffles into her new school.
'This really is a fancy private school…' She thinks, glancing over at the water fountain in the middle of the courtyard. Girls and boys were sitting on the edges, laughing, talking, and joking around.
'Everybody's already made friends… No one is going to want to be with me…'
She sighs and slowly walks down the hallway, staring at her feet, when suddenly she crashes into someone and falls onto the ground. The boy stands up and holds out his hand, smiling.
"Hey, sorry. I was just… uh.. Staring off into the distance.." he covers, blushing slightly and looking down at her.
She giggles and grabs his hand and she helps him up. "Hi. My name is Beth."
"Cody," the boy smiles.
"Cool name!" Beth says excitedly.
"Ha, thanks." Cody smiles and lets go of her hand.
Beth smiles. "Do you know where.. Uh.. Room 429 is? That's my first class and I'm completely lost in this huge school."
"Oh, yeah, it's my first class." Cody says as the bell rings. "Follow me."
Beth nods and follows behind him as he weaves through the bodies of people.
'He is kind of cute.. But I hardly know him, so I can't already like him! Bad Beth!' She hits her head and Cody turns back and looks at her oddly. She just smiles and waves, so Cody shrugs and turns back around.
"Here we are," Cody smiles, holding the door open for her.
"Hey, thanks," Beth smiles, walking under his arm and into the classroom.
'It's so big…'
A guy with a green Mohawk grins as he flicks Cody's nose. "Hey shortstack. Already got yourself a lady friend?" he asks, looking at a slightly blushing Beth.
"What? No! Duncan, stay out of this!" Cody yells.
Duncan just laughs and walks away. Cody looks at Beth and smiles.
"Sorry about him. He's a juvenile,"Cody says, like his label explained everything.
"Oh," Beth nods.
The bell rings and the teacher struts in, smiling at his class. "Sit down, Duncan! It's time to work!"
Duncan groans and walks away from Courtney, sitting in his desk.
"Okay class. We're dividing into teams today to play a little game for our review. Follow me out onto the football please, if you will." he smiles.
"Yes, Mr. McLean…" the class mumbles and begrudgingly walks outside.
'Can't he be a normal teacher for once?' Cody frowns. Gwen walks in front of him to catch up to Lashawna and Bridgette and Cody automatically starts drooling.
'He makes that so obvious..' Beth giggles.
Mr. McLean grins at his class and raises his hand. The students know this is a sign to be quiet, so they all close their mouths.
'Obedient puppies..' Duncan frowns as he flicks Courtney's nose, making her irritated and him laugh.
"So class, can you guess what our game will be?"
Silence and blank stares.
"Alrighty then," McLean smiles.
