Elizabeth Covington ran down the halls to the gym doors, where the sign up sheet for sports try-outs were.
When she arrived she saw a brown haired boy taking the sheets down.
"Just a minute, I'd like to sign up," she spoke in a light British accent slightly out of breath from her run down the halls.
The boy turned to her and looked her up and down, "Cheerleading sign up is over there, with that body you'll make it."
Some girls may have taken that as a compliment and fainted, having RAY talk to them; he was good looking and a jock. Elizabeth thought he was a jerk.
"I am not here to sign up for cheerleading. I am going to play football." Elizabeth was not about to lose her temper on her first day of school.
The boy looked at her for a second, "Did you say you wanted to try out for football?" his voice squeaked.
"Great he's not only a jerk, but he's a stupid jerk" Elizabeth thought to herself. She spoke to him patiently, as if she was talking to a little kid, "I am here to sign up for football. I am going to be very unhappy, if you don't hand me that sign up sheet right now."
Ray silently handed her the paper, still in shock. Elizabeth signed her name and started to walk away.
"You are going to die out there." said Ray. His voice echoed throughout the empty halls.
"Die my foot. When he see me, on the team he'll die of shock, or maybe his brain will just shut down because of too much thinking. I learned how to play football as soon as I learned how to walk. Every team I have ever been on has made it to the championships and won." Elizabeth said to herself.
She walked out to the front of the school and the buses were gone and no one was around. The first day of school could definitely have gone better. The classes were all so much easier than they had been back home, she was put in all the lowest classes. These people must have thought anyone who wasn't born and raised in Alexandria was stupid.
"Do you need a ride or something?" A very large boy stood next to her and seemed to be waiting for an answer.
Did she really have a choice, her dad wouldn't be coming home until late, and when he found out she wasn't home, he would probably call the police; she definitely didn't need that. "Yes a ride would be wonderful"
"My name is Louie Lastick. Are you new here? I haven't seen you around"
"My names is Elizabeth Covington. My dad got transferred here from Britan. I came here about a week ago."
"So how do you like TC Williams?"
"Its alright, but I would rather finish my senior year at back home. My house is the next street over." As he pulled up to her house, she noticed he had football written on the back of his jacket. "I'll probably be seeing you around," she said as she closed the car door.
*What do you think? I know it started out kinda slow but it'll pick up in the next chap.
