ISLI: PART II
A MONTH LATER
"So this is Fatima huh?" "Yep Chris, my home away from home." "Jeff leaned forward from the back and said, "it's looks kinda big." "Yea it' the only seminary for the entire diocese of Scranton." "How big is the diocese?" "Huge. It goes from somewhere around bear creek and goes all the way down past Goldsboro." "I have no clue how far they are from each other but I'm guessing that's far." "Yep." they pulled around to the back entrance and started to pull their things from the trunk. Samantha pulled her hiking backpack from out of the trunk and took a look at the other huge bags the others had, "whoa, did u guys pack the kitchen sink or what. We're only gonna be here for 4 days." Chris pulled one of his bags out, "ha, ha, very funny how about you and your 2." "One of them has my note book and binder with some other things I need to facilitate with." " And the portable stereo?" "Needed for group work." "You have an answer for everything don't you?" "Yea pretty much." Sarah mountain, a short blonde woman looking like she's in her mid 20's, and Jesse, a tall bleach blonde haired man about 24 years old, walked over to the car to help them with their things, "hey, Sam!" "Jesse!" she ran over and gave him a hug, "how long has it been?" "Almost a year." "Wow, so what have I missed?" "Well now I live here." "No way you're training to be a priest?" "Yep." "Wow I have missed a lot." "Yea let's get you guys situated." "Alright."
They walked in and Jesse showed them where there room's were. Sam was at the beginning of the hall on first floor and Matt, Jeff, and Chris were at the beginning of the hall on second floor. Jesse was roomed right next to them for the week. He walked down the hallway toward the stairs, "you guys better unpack now before the participants and trainees start coming. Plus we have a meeting in like 10 minutes." As if on cue they all yelled, "alright."
As Chris was about half way done unpacking his things Sam poked her head into the room, "not done yet?" "Nope, you?" "Yea is was done a few minutes ago." "But it's only been 5 minutes." "I know." "You aren't done." "Yea all I have to do is lay out my sleeping bag." "No way." "Yea way. Wan see?" "Yea." They ran down the steps and went into Sam's room and saw her things all unpacked and put away. "How'd you do that?" "I've been coming here for the past 5 years I should be used to it by now." "True." They ran back upstairs and Sam helped him finish unpacking.
They finished just before they were supposed to go downstairs for the meeting so they walked down the steps and went out the door at the end of the hall on the girls dorm before going across another wide hallway and into a room with a bunch of blue couches and blue carpeting, "welcome to the blue room." "The blue room?" "It's just the nickname for It." she spotted Matt sitting on one of the larger couches looking completely embarrassed. Then she saw on of her friends from youth group, a short girl with long red hair pulled back into a braid wearing a flyers jersey and a Penn state baseball cap on about the age of 17 (Sarah), sitting next to Jeff on one of the smaller couches laughing their asses off. "Sarah what's so funny?" "You. You know how everyone mixes me up with other people." "Yea, what about it?" she stopped a little to finish, "well he didn't see my braid and thought I was… I was a boy." As soon as she said that the erupted into laughter. All Sam could do was shake her head and sit on the couch next to Matt. Chris sat next to her and just watched the two laughing. Matt taped sam's shoulder, "how come they find this so funny?" "Well I don't know about Jeff but Sarah has a really good sense of humor so don't bother worrying about it."
