She was standing by the oak tree, feeling hopelessly lost even before she set foot in the school, when all of a sudden, she saw that undeniable hulk of a car pull into the parking lot.

The other day had gone well, and she liked Morgan, it was just kind of… intimidating, walking strait up to her and asking for help. 'Suck it up" She told herself, and started trudging towards the now standing Morgan.

"Um, hi Morgan," She managed to meekly squeak out. Morgan looked up and after a moment the morning daze cleared from her eyes. "Oh. Hey Samantha. Do you need something?" After all Morgan thought, she's actually pretty adorable once you hang around her a bit. Kind of like Mary K…

'Well, umm…I kind of don't know where I should be right now…and I don't mean to bother you, but I just really needed to find a friendly face, and then you pulled up and…" She let it all out in one big breath, but then Morgan cut her off.

" No problem. Here, you can come with me. You have your schedules and stuff, right? " Morgan asked her as she gulped at her Diet Coke.

"Um, yah, it's all right here." Sam said with an exhausted sigh.

"Ok, well then, you can come meet the members of Kithic, our coven." Morgan replied, hoisting her bag onto her shoulder and taking another swig of Diet Coke.

With a grateful sigh Sam said, " thank you SO much. I felt so lost for a minute. Oh, and Hunter wanted me to say hello to you for him. He woke up late and didn't really have time to get ready so he was all stinky." Sam laughed and made a little face.

Morgan laughed too, had she ever known Hunter to be late? It must have just been that it was earlier than his normal, he didn't usually get up until seven, if she recalled correctly.

Mentally shrugging the question off, Morgan lead the way to the staircase, Kithic's usual winter hangout spot.

When they arrived, Robbie and Bree were siting side by side, and Robbie had his arm around her. Ethan was sitting up higher a few steps, and Sharon was a step below him, leaning against the banister. Raven wasn't there for once, and neither was Jenna.

Bree looked up when Morgan walked in, giving her both a smile and a "who's the new girl" stare. Ethan and Sharon both murmured hellos and Robie gave both girls a skeptical smile.

"Hey guys. This is Samantha, she used to be a student of Hunters, and she's come to help…um, us in our studies. " Morgan said, then, to Sam she added, " This is Bree and Robie, Sharon and Ethan, and there are a few members missing, Jenna, Matt, Raven."

She gave a bright smile and a little wave and said, "Hi, you can call me Sam if you want."

Everyone gave her a little glad to meet you smile, as Morgan and Sam moved to take seats on the steps. Immediately the conversation moved into the ever-impending finals and Mr. Tomas's exam next week. Sam sat tentatively and politely until the bell rang and they all dispersed into the halls to start the day. With a determined huff, Sam slung on her bag, and walked determinedly to her first class.
