Chapter 2: Clio Comes
A/N: Rocket Power doesn't belong to me..................yet. ^^
-----------
It was now a full week after their huge win at the street hockey championships and instead of daydreaming about winning the game during classes, they were all wondering when Clio would be coming. All exept Twister; he knew.
"So what day is Clio moving here?" Reggie picked up a tray and started moving down the line getting her lunch. It was Bosco Breadstick day and -everybody- was getting 2 if not 3 breadsticks a piece (cause everybody knows Bosco Breadsticks RULE the cafeteria! ^^).
Twister was in line ahead of her. "Tomorrow."
"That's cool! So she'll be here in time for the Homecoming Dance next Friday! I can't wait! If she decides to go, maybe we can go to the mall this weekend and pick out dresses...!"
"Dresses, Reg? Since -when- do you wear a -dress-?" asked her brother who was next to Sam behind Reggie in line.
"Since I'm going to the dance..." She looked passed Sam to him. "like -you- care." she added. She then wondered to herself if she's got the right color make-up.
"Whatever." Otto rolled his eyes and moved down the line after getting his lunch. They found an empty table and sat down to eat.
"Do you know what her schedule is, Twist?" Reggie was curious.
"No......Why would I?" Twister dipped one of his breadsticks in the pizza sauce.
"Just wondering...." Reggie trailed off. She then eyed some chocolate on Sam's tray. "Hey Sam, trade you a breadstick for the chocolate."
"Only if Twister pays me back my money from yesterday," Sam looked to Twister. "with interest."
"Only if Otto will give me the answers to the quiz that we have on that one story in English today." Twister looked to Otto who looked a bit worried. "What..?"
"The teacher is giving every class different questions. Sorry, bro, I can't help you..."
"Damn! Now I -know- I'm gonna fail..!"
"You didn't study, did you?" asked Sam.
"-And- you have English right after this, don't you?" added Reggie. Twister nodded to the both of them. "I'm dead..." he replied.
"So.... about that money you owe me......." Sam slyly mentioned.
The next day at the beginning of school, Reggie and Sam were sitting in their first hour class just chatting when the teacher came in with a girl standing next to her. "That's Clio!" whispered Reggie to Sam. Sam nodded and they both waved to her. Clio waved back.
"Now class, let's all welcome Clio to our school. She's just moved here this morning from Palm Springs. I know we all know where that is, I hope. Let's make her feel welcomed here by everyone." the teacher looked to Clio who was mouth-talking to Reggie. "Well, you seem to have made a friend already! That's good. Reggie, why don't you help her out today?" Clio walked over and took the empty seat next to Reggie.
"Okay, Mrs. Marks." Reggie replied with a smile on her face.
"Good. Now today class, we'll be starting a new chapter. Please open your books to.... blah blah blah blah blah blah......" the teacher droned on.
Reggie scribbled stuff quickly down on a piece of paper, folded it up, and wrote "To: Clio" on the top fold. She tossed it onto Clio's desk. Clio took it, opened it and read what it said: "Hey Clio, the Homecoming Dance is next Friday. Do you think you want to go?" Clio picked up her pen and replied, giving the note back to Reggie. Reggie read what she wrote. "I don't know yet... do I need a date to go?" Reggie replied with this: "No, you don't have to. A guy might pick you up if you're just standing near the wall looking bored. :)" she gave the note to Clio who read it over and replied, "Okay. Give me some time and I'll think about it. Ask me at the end of the day, before we go home." she passed it to Reggie for the last time. Reggie read it over and nodded to her. She stuffed the note between some papers and started taking down notes that were on the board.
At lunch, since today there were no Bosco Breadsticks, they had a typical high schooler lunch: chips, a drink, fries, and whatever else looked appetizing. Reggie had brought her schedule with her today to compare it to Clio's. They were already sitting at the table and half finished with lunch when she remembered. "Oh hey Clio, can I see your schedule?" she pulled out hers from her jeans pocket.
"Sure." Clio handed over her schedule to Reggie who then compared it. "You have 4 classes with me... English, Bio, Spanish 2, and Chemistry. Well, I already knew that you had English and Chemistry with me. Heheh." she handed her schedule back to Clio.
"Do any of you have your schedules with you?" asked Clio to the boys who didn't seem too interested.
"I do." Sam replied. He pulled out his schedule and handed it to Clio who compared it.
"We have Chemisty, and PE. That's it." Clio gave Sam his schedule back and looked to Otto and Twister. "You?" she asked.
"No." they said together.
Reggie giggled. "They looked at their schedules when they got them, on the first and second day of classes, and then lost them at the same time. Typical boys." Reggie laughed again, joined by Clio.
"Hey!" Otto and Twister shouted about the "typical boys" crack.
"Well it's true!" Reggie told them.
Otto and Twister sighed and went back to their lunches not talking to the girls again, though Otto kept taking quick peeks out of the corner of his eye at Clio every once in awhile during his conversation with Twister. By now they had all finished and Reggie and Clio had gone and joined a table full of girls who were all chatting and giggling over this or that; mainly boys who they thought were cute or likeable, who'd they go out with, and updating each other on relationships if they were in one.
"So bro, you like the idea?" Twister asked and waited for a reply. "Otto... Otto? Helloooo, earth to Otto...??" Twister waved a hand in front of Otto's face.
"What? What?" Otto looked around to see who was doing that. He then realized it was Twister. "Oh, sorry, Twist. What was the question again?"
Twister shook his head. "Never mind... Why were you spacing out?"
"Me? Spacing out? What're you talking about...? I was paying attention the whole time!" Otto argued.
"Heheh... No you weren't..." said Sam. "You were checking out the girls' table over there, admit it."
Otto tried to hide his nervousness about it but it didn't work. "N-no I wasn't....!! I swear! I'm not -that- into girls that I'd -stare- at them..!"
"I'm siding with the Squid." said Twister with a taunting smile. "He's usually always right."
"No, no, no!" Otto thew his head into his hands and said beneath his breath. "Why does the Squid always have to be right?" he sighed and stood up. "I'll see ya last hour, Twist. I'm going."
"Because you can't take the truth?" Twister asked. Otto left without saying another word.
