COMMENT, FAVORITE AND SUGGEST CHARACTERS
MY DAYS IN LIMA
Their all looking at me like I am some animal, I don't think I am going to like McKinley. I made it to my first class on time, trying to avoid eye contact with everyone. At lunch, I took a tour and decided to go sign up for the hockey team. I walked down the hall until I heard music, I looked into the music room to a bunch of kids dancing and singing, they finished the song and the hot one turned around to me.
"Hey, are you here to sign up for glee club" she asked
"Um… I don't, um…no thanks" I quickly kept walking down the hall. I reached the sign up board and signed the hockey sheet. I would sign up for glee but I didn't think it was the greatest idea for a new kid to do. I finished the day with no problems; I raced to collect my things and headed to my shit box of a car. Of course it is raining and my door is jammed; the parking lot was quiet until that girl I met from glee came out to the car beside me. Her car was a black Volvo that out shined mine times a thousand. She looked like she was struggling to find her keys when she dropped her library books on the ground. I got out of my car and rushed to help her, thinking this is my chance, seeing how all the romantic movies start with the pretty girl dropping her books then the guy helps her.
"Thanks, I've done this to many times to count, it's all the books" she said as I handed her a book.
"Any time, I'm Kory" I said, brushing dirt off some paper.
"Marley, you're that new kid that was looking in at glee today. Can you sing? We are having try outs" she asked.
"Um, no, not really, I signed up for hockey, I don't think I would even have time for another club" I explained, as the lunch lady came out and was standing by the passenger side of the Volvo.
"This is my mother" she gestured to the lunch lady.
"Hello" she said, as she opened her door.
"Nice to meet you" I replied.
We said our goodbyes and it was off to hockey try outs that started in an hour. I got in the locker room and sat in the corner avoiding the loud jocks around me. The try out went well; I tried my hardest to make sure I secured a spot on the team. I drove home and went to sleep after that tiring day.
I woke up and did my normal routine; I skipped breakfast and rushed to leave on time. I got a ride because my mom was going to need the car. When I got to school, the black Volvo was in the spot beside me but unfortunately no Marley. I rushed into the big crowd surrounding the sign-up sheet. I looked for my name and was relieved to see I made the team. I stepped out of the crowd and walked to my locker. I was closing my locker just as the one beside me was opened.
"You're the new guy on the hockey team, I just seen you check the sign up board" he explained.
"Ya I' am. Kory Cooper" I say extending a hand.
He shook my hand "Finn, I thought you were also checking the glee list. I am in glee; it's fun, you should Join"
I chuckle "is everyone in this school in glee club? Besides, I don't really sing"
"Well I got to go but see you later" he said, as he collected his things. I grabbed mine and scurried to class. After that I headed to lunch, I stood in line for food. Marley's mom gave me a hamburger and tater tots as I moved down the line. I overheard the two jocks in letterman jackets behind me.
"I want more tots Hippo" He shouted at Marley's mom
"You must get the left overs" the other one shouted.
"Hey! Shut up" I yelled slamming down my tray.
"What are you gonna…" He said, as I laid a right hook across his jaw. The other lunged at me but I pushed him to the ground. I turned my back but when I turned, the other one had gotten up and had smashed his fist into my eye. Finn came out of nowhere and broke up the fight.
"Dude, that was sick" he said, as he led me to his table.
"Thanks, all those hockey fights paid off I guess" I chuckled. I looked at the table to see all the glee kids sitting but no Marley. I sat down until I was called down to the principal's office. I got off with a warning but by the time I got out, third period was almost over and I was told to go to the nurse. After, she was done it was time to go home so I grabbed my things and got ready to walk home. I turned the corner and someone tapped me on the shoulder.
"Hey, thanks for standing up for my mom" she said, standing beside her mother.
"No problem. No one should disrespect a lady" I said, as I opened the door to the parking lot, holding it for both of them.
"Where's your car?" she asked.
"I'm walking today" I explained.
"Oh, well, get in" she said, as she opened her car door.
