I'm currently sitting in my homeroom with the rest of Gravity 5. Everyone is talking about their weekend, rumors floating around the school and any else that's worth talking about. is a little late but it doesn't matter, the only thing he required to do in homeroom is take attendance and give announcements.
Five minutes later he strolls in with Starbucks and calls the attention of the class.
"Sorry I'm late, I was having car troubles and I really needed my morning coffee." Some people chuckle while others mumble. He proceeds with the normal routine: attendance, teacher-student banter about school and then announcements. Today's actually interested people.
"Ok guys, a few quick announcements. First, the carnival that was rumored to be canceled is going to be scheduled as previously planned one week from today, which would be a Friday or a Saturday."
People clapped.
"Secondly, this semester Principal Turner has made one free period and a study hall period available to you. Throughout the week you will be able to go to the guidance offices and pick when you would like them."
More clapping.
"And finally, we will be receiving two new transfer/exchange students."
Someone raised their hand. "Which is it? Transfer or exchange, those are two different things."
"I'm not sure."
"Why?" asked another student.
"Well, the two students are coming from...New York City, but I'm told that before they lived there they were in another country."
"Since you're talking about both of them that means that they're related, right?"
"Yes"
"Girls or Boys."
looked at a paper laying on his desk. "Sisters. Twins to be more specific."
"Foreign twins, sweet" said a jock who high-fived a few of his buddies. That made the class laugh.
" , where are they from? France, England, oh what about Spain?" asked Kacey.
Stevie gave Kacey a confused/ annoyed look. "And you asked about those countries because?"
"Fashion, duh" Kacey said like it was obvious. "They're from a different counrty and lived in New York City, we could exchange fashion information."
Stevie rolled her eyes and faced front again.
"To answer your question , I don't know, the girls haven't finished registering yet. Besides, I'm not at liberty to discuss their background, you'll just have ask them when they get here."
"When?" asked the jock.
"First thing Monday morning."
"Awesome!"
Right that second the bell for first period rung.
"Off you go." said while gesturing everyone out the classroom.
Everyone got their things and merged into the sea of people in the hallway on their way to class.
Me and the rest of Gravity 5 walked down the hall. Kacey, Stevie and I had Chemistry while Nelson and Kevin had Trig. The classes were in the same wing so we always walked together,
The news about the two new students was already around the school, we could hear people talking about it as we walked.
"...Two hot foreign girls are coming to the school..."
"...I heard that they're from New York and that they're loaded..."
Typical gossip. It bored and amused at the same time that people could make so many things with so little information and how fast everyone knew about it.
"Hey Zander, it looks like you aren't the new kid anymore" Kevin piped up.
"Yea, on Monday you're gonna get pushed out of the spotlight" added Nelson.
I shrugged. "Doesn't matter to me, I'm still as gorgeous as ever. And that gives me the oppurtunity to work my magic a set of twins." I said smiling.
"Could you be anymore self-centered?" asked Stevie
"It's called confidence and the gift of having the amazing genes that make so irressitable."
"More like delusional and cocky." said Kacey. "And besides how do you even know that their cute." she questioned.
"It's a fact. Any foreign girl that comes to this country is hot." I said with a matter of fact tone.
"Really?" said Nelson and Kevin.
"Says who?" said Stevie looking at me funny.
"You have got to be kidding me. How do you not know this? Where have you been for last...16 years?" I asked completely confused.
"Um paying attention to things that actually make sense. And matter."
Kacey laughed and high-fived Stevie.
"Whatever"
We arrived at our classes and agreed to meet at lunch. The rest of the day went by pretty well. Not too much work, eventhough the classes were still boring. At lunch, The Perfs were on their usual rampage. Picking on nerds, having everyone paying attention to them. Molly yelling at Grace who followed her everywhere. Molly trying to insult Kacey and getting a threat from Stevie to buzz which they immediately did.
Then more class. And finally afterschool. Band Practice.
We're working on more songs, getting our sound to another level. We want to get some gigs, so that people will know us and eventually get paid to do shows and possibly get famous.
We just finished playing Gravity and everyone went on with doing something else. Nelson and Kevin playing Furious Pigeons, Stevie tuning her bass, Kacey fixing her makeup and texting, and I'm writing in my song book when I remember our conversation.
"Hey guys"
Only Stevie and Kacey looked in my direction. The two drones just glanced at me and grunted.
"Remember what we were talking about this morning on our way to first period?"
"About the two new "hot" foreign girls?" said Stevie. Kacey giggled.
"Yea. Since you the two of you think you are so smart, I have a proposition."
"And that would be?" asked Kacey.
"We make a bet to see whose right."
They both looked at me then eachother. They having a silent conversation with their eyes.
"We're in." said Stevie
"So what do we get when we win?" asked Kacey.
I laughed. "Don't be so sure about that. Anyways, whoever loses has to be the winners servant or servants for a week."
"Deal"
