Ke's POV
It was a new day in a new town and I was still wondering why I left one small town for another, even smaller town. 'I wonder if this is worth it.' I thought as I pulled into the parking lot of a small diner. I got off my bike and walked in. That's when the waitress came up to me.
"Hello. What's your name?" she asked with a smile. I smiled shyly back at her. "My name is Ke. Ke Grimm. What's yours?" "My name is Grace. Would you like to order?" she said/asked. I nodded. "Yes please. Do you have chocolate milkshakes?"
"Yup. One chocolate milkshake coming up." Grace walked to the back to place my order. I walked over to a booth and sat down. It was only a little while later that she came back with my milkshake.
"Thank you." I said as she handed me the milkshake. She smiled and went to go over to a group who had just come in. 'They look interesting.' I thought as I got up to walk around. I was never any good at sitting still. I was drinking my shake when all of a sudden I bumped into someone when I wasn't looking and spilled it all over them.
"OMG! I'm so sorry! I'll clean it up!" I said panicked. I started to use my hands to get up the mess but I think it just made me look like an idiot cause he started to push me away.
"Stop it!" he commanded in a thick Russian accent. I looked up to protest but the look he give me made me stop.
"Hey chill Tezz. She was just trying to help." came a voice. I looked for the owner of the voice and saw it was the blond in the group. I looked down to my feet. "I'm sorry. I'm really clumsy." I turned to walk away sad because not only did I just make an idiot out of myself, I no longer had a chocolate milkshake. But the blond guy grabbed my arm so I would face him. "It's okay. Why don't you come sit with us?" he offered. I just nodded so I wouldn't be rude and followed them to their booth.
"I'm Vert. And over there is Agura, Spinner, Sherman, Zoom, Stanford, and you've already met Tezz." He said pointing to everyone. "I'm Ke."
The one named Stanford said, "That's an interesting look, luv. What kind of style are you going for?" I could tell by his accent he was British. "Um, I just like these clothes." I just looked down at what I was wearing. I was wearing a long purple and gray tank top that stopped just below my hips, black short shorts that were an inch or two above mid thigh, one purple and gray striped sock and one neon green sock and both came up to mid thigh, and shoes that were easy to slip off.
"No need to be shy luv." replied Stanford. "Sorry. I'm not real good with people." By this time I had been moved to sit in between Stanford and Tezz, who still looked a little ticked off. "Well you're not the only one right Tezz." Spinner said only to be elbowed in the ribs by Sherman. I slightly laughed at that.
"So where you from?" asked Zoom. "I'm from the south. I'm a country girl." I was little bolder saying that. "Really? You sound more British to me." Stanford said. I nodded. "I just have a speech impediment that makes me sound British." I explained.
We soon started to get to know each other better and I warmed up to them. It felt nice not to be judged for being different because they all were so different. But I knew I could never tell them why I was really here. They would never believe me.
Tezz's POV
I envied AJ for staying behind. The others were over excited to go to Zeke's. As we entered the diner I saw a strange girl sitting near our booth. She was really pale with freckles, gray eyes covered by somewhat small glasses, and her hair was black in the front and orange in the back. She reminded me of those characters from those manga things Spinner and Zoom look at.
As we made our way over to our booth someone bumped into me and spilled their drink all over me. It was the girl I saw before. "OMG! I'm so sorry! I'll clean it up!" she said panicked and started to try and wipe her milkshake off me with her hands. I was not use to people outside of the team touching me. "Stop it!" I commanded. She stopped and looked up at me like she was going to say something but decided against it. The look on her face reminded me of a hurt animal.
That's when Vert came in and had her sit with us. She was sited between me and Stanford. I glared at Spinner when he made a remark about my people skills but I remember hearing this girl, Ke, say she was not good with people. That would explain her actions from earlier.
She eventually started to relax and even joined in with Zoom and Spinner as they did the most ridicules things. Oddly enough she didn't bother me at all even though she was interacting with the two most immature members of our team. We had learned a lot about her. Like that she took advantage of the woods, as she called them, and trained herself for a unique fighting style. We soon parted ways and she gave all of us hugs, which I found odd but didn't say anything.
When we entered the Hub Stanford asked one of the oddest things. "Do you guys think I have a shot with Ke?" I shook my head while the others laughed. "Dude you're not her type, more like black eye and bloody nose." Zoom said wiping tears of laughter from his eyes.
Ke's POV
As I returned to my new apartment my phone rang. "Hello?" "Hello Ke. What have you thought about my offer?" said the woman who got me to come here on the first place. "I'll need time to think about it more. I'll ride out the full month you paid for this apartment but please try not to give me any info on the Multiverse. I want to find out on my own first." "Very well. I shall wait for your decision." she said before she hung up.
I went over to my bed and lied down thinking about my new friends. I noted that I was a little taller than Spinner. And Zoom was the same age as me so I had a bud in him. My thoughts soon went to Tezz. He had been mad at me when we met but I think he cooled down a lot. "I think I might like it here."
Hope you guys like. And the part about her milkshake was a small comedy thing. Please tell me if you like. Thank you.^_^
