The smell of lasagna drifted through the halls of Gallagher making my mouth water. I pushed open the doors of the cafeteria some eyes of other students stray towards me. I just ignore them. I haven't seen Britney and Sarah in over a week. It feels like a year. I quickly find them sitting at a table with a few other people. Walking over I cover Britney's eyes with my hands.
"guess who?" I ask using my most manly voice.
"Is it Santa?" Britney says laughing at are stupidity.
"No Britney." Sarah says in a duh voice
"I know Sarah. I was just kidding" Brit responded turning toward her. And so the bickering starts. Looking at the other students I see another girl and 4 guys.
"I'm Willy" A boy with black short hair sticks out his hand for me to fist pump. "this is this is Sam" Willy says pointing toward a hyper guy. "he's a little crazy he ate to many Twix's." laughing I wave at him.
"That's Danny." Willy points to a boy with dark blonde hair staring intently at his food."He's a little shy." Sam says. "say something Danny!" Brit says kicking him under the table.
"Nice to meet you." Danny says in a deep voice.
"you too." I respond
"That lovely girl right there is Charlie. She's my girlfriend." Wily says grinning like a maniac. Charlie blushes like a little girl.
"Hello Shelby its nice to finally meet you. Britney and Sarah told me so much about you today." Charlie says in a light voice. "I hope it's good things." I respond casting a suspicious glance at Brit and Sarah.
Before wily could introduce the last boy he stood up an introduced himself. "My name is Eric." he said with a slow grin. My heart started racing at the sight of him.
"It's nice to meet you to." I say smiling like an idiot.
"Hey Shelbz do you have a codename yet?" Sarah asked with a mouth full of chewed up green beans.
"Swallow before you talk." I say throwing a roll at her. she catches it with ease after all she is a spy.
"And no I don't have a codename yet. Got any ideas?" I say with curiosity.
"I got an idea lets all give each other a code name." Britney says with excitement in her voice.
"Sure" we all agree. I have a feeling ill like these people.
"Okay ill go first. sense you have such white hair Charlie your codename can be frost." Charlie lit up like Christmas lights when Sarah said that.
"now you give me one." Sarah says.
"okay." Charlie says softly. "sense you have really red hair and you very sweet your codename should be apple." Sarah squills like a pig at that. Charlie says it like it's a question. "That really fits you Sarah" I say. Confirming it for Charlie.
"My turn." Britney says turning toward me. Oh no this can't be good I think as I see her facial expression.
"I think Shelbz codename should be legacy." Britney says.
not expecting that I laugh out loud. "Why in the world would my code name be legacy?" I say looking at everyone.
"Because shelbz you are a legacy to me..and remember Paris?"That will be a legacy...at least to me."
"What happened in Paris?" A girl popped up behind me asked. "Stay out of it Tina!" Sarah snapped at the girl. Shrugging Tina walked away. "That was Tina she's a real gossip girl." Sarah told me.
"Okay Britney if I'm legacy because of Paris then your blaze." i say grinning like a Cheshire cat.
"ha-ha that fire was an accident!" Britney says poking me in the stomach.
"wait girls...what happened in Paris?" Eric asked with one eye brow raised.
"that's for us to know...Brit says
..and for you to never know" I finish. By the time dinner was over we all had codenames.
mine: legacy
Britney's: blaze
Sarah: apple
Charlie: frost
wily: waffle (he really likes waffles)
Sam: Twix (he loves Twix)
Eric: shadow
After dinner we all said good bye. Me, Sarah, Brit, and Charlie headed off to our dorm. The boys headed off toward theirs. Catching Eric's eyes he nodded to me.
"See you around Shelby." Eric says with a twinkle in his eye. Walking back with the girls I got to know Charlie, and learn more about the guys. laying down i thought to myself am i starting to like Gallagher?
