Rebecca sat up and looked around, her sisters were still asleep. She turned on her iPod and hooked it up to a small stereo. Then a sweet sounding Japanese voice ejected from the stereo.
One of the girls sat up."How do you even like this stuff?" She said.
"I have a different taste then you,okay Jess?Better than yours at most,with all that hard rock crap."
"Whatever."Jessica looked at what Rebecca was pulling from the closet as she got up to wake her other sister."Your wearing that!?
"The boys are away so I can finally brush my hair. Huh? Oh! I just missed this one in particular." Rebecca said as she walked over to her bed and grabbed a pair of pale pink high tops and white leggings."Back in a minute sis."
"Okay."
"Mornin' Rebecca." another voice said.
"Mornin' Hannah." Rebecca called from the bathroom.
Rebecca closed the door. She pulled on her clothes and looked in the mirror. Her hair still needed brushing but she looked pretty decent. She wore a light gray skirt,white button up shirt,white leggings and pale pink high tops. She tied a hot pink neck tie around her neck and hid it under her collar. She walked out of the bathroom. She was about to enter her room, but then she heard her sisters whispering.
"You think she has a crush?" Jessica whispered.
"Yeah, during most of her free time she spends listening to love songs, you know the Japanese ones, and stares into space or draws that weird symbol." Hannah replied.
Rebecca walked to her closet, acting as if she hard nothing, and reached in for a pale pink blazer. She walked over to her dresser and sat in front of her mirror and began to brush her hair.
"Okay Rebecca, keep cool. They may be on to you, just need to stay calm. She took a small portion of hair from the top of her hair and tied it up. She grabbed a hot pink ribbon and tied it around the hair band which held the hair in place.
"Jess, what time is it?" Rebecca asked.
"It's 7:55" Jess replied.
Rebecca threw on her blazer as quick as possible and grabbed her black messenger bag.
"Bye guys!" Rebecca shouted as she ran down stairs towards the door. She ran down the driveway just as the bus arrived. Rebecca climbed on and sat in her assigned seat. As the bus pulled up to the school, she saw Penn locking his scooter on the bike rack. God, he's cute, she thought as she got off. She saw Sashi and Boone arrive. She watched as they ran over to Penn to say hello. Quickly as she could, she switched out her old blue glasses for large thick black square frames. Boone saw her.
"Hey Rebecca! Want to hang with us?" Boone called out to her.
Rebecca walked over to them. Sashi eyed what what she was wearing.
"What's with the wardrobe change?" she asked.
Rebecca shrugged. This was a little weird for her, considering she usually kept to herself. She didn't think her teammates would want to hang with her at school, even if they worked well together on missions.
"So you don't mind hanging out on a regular basis?" Rebecca asked.
"Why not?" Penn answered. "If we're going to be teammates, then why can't we be friends?"
"Um guys, we better get inside before the bell rings, that's when Rippen's not on hall duty." Boone said. "I'll race you."
A grin crept it's way out, spreading over Rebecca's face. As she started running, she had a good feeling about what was to come.
