Chapter 2
Maxine sat next to Dana and Chelsea as they sat watching Terry and a new kid named Rey play a game of basketball against Nash and one of his cronies. "So who's winning?" Asked Maxine. "Does it matter." Remarked Chelsea. "You know if you would spend as much time studying as you do hounding the guys you wouldn't be so behind in class." Quipped Maxine. "Like you don't?" Asked Dana "What is that suppose to mean?" Demanded Maxine angrily. "Come on we've all seen the way you've been looking at the new guy." Said Dana "Well I can't blame you. He is kind of cute .RRRREEEEEOOOOOORRRR." Quipped Chelsea. Teasing Maxine. "Shut up, Chelsea." Said Maxine looking on.
"BOOYAH!" Shouted Nash blocking Terry's shot. "Quit showboating and toss me the ball, Nash." Said Terry. Nash fired the ball at Terry hitting him in middle of his chest. Terry began to slowly dribble the ball as he caught his breath. "Come on Mcginis I got better things to do than to sit here waiting for you to shoot the ball." Terry smiled looking over at his friend Ray standing wide open in the paint.
Rey was new to Hamilton high he had transferred just a couple of months ago. He wasn't very out going and very quiet. Up until a few weeks ago he had barely said more than two words to anybody. That is until he met up with Terry and the gang. He seemed to be coming out his shell very nicely as he adapted to life at his new school.
"You're going to like this next play." Said Terry "It's a special play just for you." Quipped Terry passing the ball to Rey over Nelson's shoulder. Nash quickly dove toward Rey "Hold still, looser.." He shouted. Rey ducked sending Nash head first into the pavement. "BOOYAH!" shouted terry leaping into the air catching the ball slamming it into the basket. Angered Nash jumped up making his way toward Terry. "You're going to pay for that, Mcginis." " Nobody humiliates Nelson Nash." He shouted clinching his fist.
Suddenly Rey launched the ball at Nash . Hitting him in the face "Ouch!" screamed Nash "who did that?" He demanded."I did." Said Rey "You're a dead man, New guy." Nash reached back swinging wildly at Rey. Rey quickly ducked grabbing Nash's arm twisting it behind him putting him in a hammer-lock. "Hey let me go." Said Nash groaning. "I know your type you're al talk and no play." Said rey tightening his grip on Nash's wrist.
The coach ran in blowing his whistle. "What is going on here." He shouted. "Uh. Nothing, sir." Said terry interrupting the coach. "Rey, was just showing us a new wrestling hold." He said smiling nervously. The coach stood silent chewing on his whistle stairing at Nelson and Rey through his dark sunglasses. "Save it for the squared circle you two." He ordered. Walking away. "Yes, sir." Said Rey letting go of Nash. "You're new here so I'm going to let you slide, Newguy." He said rubbing his arm. "As for you, Mcginis. Your days are numbered." He said walking off like a wounded dog with his cronies behind him.
Maxine and Dana ran onto the court to check on Terry and Rey. "Hey that was some move you put on Nash," said Maxine ".Yeah, Rey. Where did you learn that?" She asked "My father use to be an army ranger he taught me and my sister." "Must have been some guy." Said Maxine. "Yeah." Remarked Rey stroking his dragon medallion.
A calm silence fell over the gymnasium. "Hey, Rey Me Dana and Max are all going to the club tonight. Want to come?" Asked Terry. "I don't know." Said Rey "Oh, come on you max can double with me and Dana." "Yeah." Said Dana happily. Maxine pulled terry close t her "what are you doing?" she asked nervously. "Trust me." Whispered terry "I know what I'm doing." He quipped ".So?" asked Terry. "All right." Said Rey. "Schway, we'll meet up at Rhyno's and head out from there" the bell rang signaling that the next period had started. "I'm going to kill you, Mcginis." Said Maxine..
