Walking to her sixth period, all she could think about was getting to gym on time. The day before she'd been late, but it wasn't counted as a tardy because of it being the first day. She hurried around the corner that led down the hall to get to the girls' locker room. She hurried inside and opened her locker quickly, dropping her backpack and changing into her uniform quickly. "Hey, I remember you!" A voice cooed from behind her. She turned as she tied her shoes to see Tera. "You're that girl from the bus yesterday. I never caught your name."
"It's Summer," She replied, quickly returning to tie her shoe.
"Wanna hang out today? I think all we're doing is walking since it's only the second day." Tera offered.
"Umm," Summer hesistated. She remembered what Eternity had said about Tera and how Mary was beginning to doubt God. Would it jeopardize her faith by hanging out with this girl? I don't think so, she thought. After all I've seen, I have no reason to doubt His existence...only His purposes. "Sure." She finally agreed.
"Cool! I'll see ya outside then!" Tera said cheerfully. Summer stood in her uniform, a simple green T-shirt with the district's name and a pair of black athletic shorts, and headed out.
"Are you religious like Mary?" Tera asked Summer as they walked around the football field.
"Uh, it depends on what you mean by that," Summer met Tera's gaze.
"Do you believe in God?" She adjusted the question.
"Of course," Summer said. "Do you?"
"Nah," Tera looked out across the field, her expression unimpressed. "Don't see any reason to."
"Oh," Summer looked down at the grass, disheartened though she already knew she didn't.
"Watch any animes?" Tera asked her, changing the subject.
"Uh, not really," Summer answered."
"Oh, what books have you read?"
"Well, The Chronicles of Narnia, Left Behind, and a few books by Max Lucado."
"Who?"
"He's a Christian author," Summer explained.
"Oh," Tera said, a little condescending."Play any video games?"
"No."
"No?" Tera looked at Summer. "You gotta get a life, kid."
"Uh," Summer stuttered, unsure what to say.
"Well, surely there's something we have in common." Tera said with determination."Do you like Disney?"
"Who doesn't?"
"Ha, so your not too holy for Disney, good." Tera nodded, looking back at the distance. Too holy? Summer thought questioningly. Do I give off that kind of vibe? At that moment, the coach blew the whistle, signaling to them that it was time to go inside and change.
"Wanna race?" Tera challenged her.
"Uh, sure." Summer said and the two took off, racing the locker room.
Note: I do not own The Chronicles of Narnia, Left Behind, or Max Lucado! XD
