Hey everyone! Thanks for the reviews and such! To the Guest, the reason why Zoe is a brunette is because I always imagine her with brown hair. And the fact that I already have one character going around with pink hair (Minka) and I didn't want another with a crazy hair color. And Penny Ling being Asian is due to the fact that she's a panda and Ling is an Asian name. So yeah.

I only own Sammy.

Russell's PoV

By the time lunch rolled around, I had just about enough of school. I just wanted to go home and sleep.

"So, should I be wary of school lunches or is it safe to eat?" Sammy asked as we entered the cafeteria.

"If you get a sandwich and water, you should be pretty safe. The cooked food is pretty nasty though; it's supposed to be meatloaf."

Sammy cringed, "I just remembered, I brought a lunch."

"Smart thing to do"

"So I'll see you after lunch"

"Okay, see you later." I said, watching her try to find a table.

"Dude! You could have offered to let her sit at our table." Vinnie said, walking up behind me.

"Warn someone before you do that. Anyway, why should I? She needs to make friends that are girls."

"We cannot be her only friends, Vinnie. Sometimes girls need other girls to talk to and stuff." Sunil added.

"How do you know that?" Vinnie asked.

Sunil shrugged, "Sharukh has had many girlfriends who talk to me a lot when he's busy getting ready for dates."

"Ignoring Sunil's brother's girlfriends, we can be good friends to her."

"Why do you care so much Vinnie?"

"I'm trying to help you out here! She's a pretty girl and you desperately need someone to help you. Why do you think I volunteered you to help her around?"

"I don't need a girlfriend. I have more important things to worry about."

"Like?"

"School, college, life."

"And that's why you need a girlfriend."

"What do you think Sunil?"

"I have to agree with Vinnie here. You do need a girlfriend and Sammy seems to be a nice girl."

"I do not need a girlfriend. And that's the end of that." I said as we approached our usual table.

Our usual table had a bit more people than normal. And normally it had three people, Vinnie, Sunil, and me.

"Oh hey guys!" Sammy said, looking up from her conversation.

At our table were four girls, Pepper Clark, Minka Mark, Penny Ling, and Sammy.

"Um what should we do?" Sunil whispered.

"Sit down, there aren't any other seats left."

"Um hey Sammy, Pepper, Penny, and Minka." I said taking a seat by Sammy.

"Hey Russell, I haven't seen you in a while." Pepper greeted.

"That's because last time I saw you, you decided to terrorize me by trying to run me over with a unicycle." I muttered.

"Your hair is just as spiky as I remember it. And I remember it being really spiky. Like a hedgehog or porcupine." Minka blabbered.

Great, I have to deal with some of the most annoying girls ever- Minka Mark and Pepper Clark. At least Sammy's trying to make friends. And Penny Ling's pretty nice.

I looked over at Sammy who was having a conversation with Sunil and Penny about magic. Pepper and Minka were talking to Vinnie about something really weird. I guess this was pretty nice, not a train wreck like I thought.

Then Zoe Trent came over.

"Hello darlings!" She sang, sitting herself down in the empty seat next to Sammy.

"Hello Zoe." I said.

"Oh Russell darling, just as serious as I remember. Anyway I came to introduce myself to your new friend. Hello darling, I'm Zoe Trent, singing extraordinaire!"

"And one of the biggest drama queens ever." Pepper added.

Zoe looked like she had swallowed something nasty. "Pepper, dear, what ever happened to your hair?"

"I happen to like the white strip, thank you very much. And you have a pink stripe in your hair."

"Well I happen to look good with the pink stripe in my hair. The white stripe in your black hair makes you look like a skunk on the other hand."

Everything went downhill from there. Five seconds later, Pepper and Zoe were trying to claw each others' eyes out and the rest of us were trying to pull them apart. When Pepper started throwing food, then we really had a problem. So when the teachers pulled us apart, all 8 of us were covered in food.

"What is the meaning of this?" Ms. Baxter asked.

"Well you see, Pepper and Zoe had a little argument and we were trying to break it up." Sammy explained, pulling potatoes out of her hair.

"Oh Ms. Baxter! It was awful! They all ganged up on me and started attacking me!" Zoe cried.

"Yeah right, you came over here first!" Pepper yelled.

"Girls! Calm down! Now I don't care who started what, all 8 of you are coming with me!"

After a trip to the bathroom to get cleaned up

"You are all in so much trouble! Detention for three weeks, you will meet in Ms. Baxter's room at three for it." Mr. Jones said. "All your parents will be getting a phone call about this. And since I feel that isn't punishment enough, you all have to help out in the school's end of the year Battle of the Bands. No performing, just working backstage. Now go to your 7th period."

We all scrambled out of his office before he could give us any more punishments. Zoe stormed away angrily as everyone moved out of the way. Penny, Pepper, Minka, Sunil, and Vinnie left to go to their classes. I looked over at Sammy. Her eyes were red.

"This is officially the worst first day of school ever." she said, sniffling.

"I can't say anything that would make it better. What class do you have next?"

"Math," she sighed, "with Baxter. I don't think she'll be too happy with me."

"Me neither. Now I have to go to English. See you in an hour." I said, starting down the hall.

"See ya."

Ooo drama's starting! I'm really getting pumped about writing again!
