Part 1: The New Guy
(View in on Sam and Josie's passionate kiss on the baseball field.)
(Voice overlay) OK, so everybody knows my parent's love story; everybody except me that is, well up until a couple of months ago. Well, this isn't their story this is my story. It all started about six months ago... (fade to story)
----Scene one----
It was the first day of the second semester and Simon was just about to enter the school he had spent the first nine years of his life watching his dad coach the baseball team. He remembered Jonathan and Sam, his dads two best friends. He remembered Joanna, Jonathan's wife, and Josie who was Sam's. It had been 13 years since he had been in Chicago and now he was back to stay. His dad had pulled some strings to have Simon do his student- teaching for Sam's class. Now as he went to see Sam for his first day he began to get nervous because he hadn't seen Sam since he moved to California when he was nine. Things he had forgotten over the years suddenly came flooding back to him. He remembered how his older brother Shawn, who is two years older than him, and Joshua, Jonathan and Joanna' s only child same age as Shawn, would torture him. But most of all he remembered Jaylynne, Sam and Josie's only childe, she was four years younger than him but that never fazed them. She was his best friend back then and he was looking forward to seeing her again. Of course he knew she wasn't the cute five-year-old with curly sandy blond hair in pigtails and bright blue eyes anymore. He opened the door to Sam's deserted classroom. He approached Sam who sat at his desk who was planning the day's school's lesson.
"Sam!" He said shyly.
Sam looked up to see a very grown up Simon standing nervously before him. "Simon you look great, man you grew up!" Sam stood up and grabbed Simon's shoulders for a manly hug.
"How are you?" Simon asked feeling a bit more comfortable and confidant that Sam hadn't changed from the easygoing kind of wacky guy he used to call Uncle Sam even though they weren't related. Simon remembered that Jonathan, Scott (his dad) and Sam's kids all called each other's parents by Uncle or Aunt.
"Oh I'm fine, what about you?"
"Oh you know nervous as heck, but other than that fine and dandy!" Simon responded jokingly. Just then the door opened and a muscular brown haired boy stepped in closing the door the boy said nodding to each as he acknowledged of them " Morning Mr. Colson, Mr. Romano" then turning to the door he said " ready to go Mr. Romano?"
At Simons questioning look Sam said " Simon this is Michael Mathew Marti, he is Keryna's boyfriend, I've asked him to show you around and explain the teenagers social structure. You know, who to avoid and who to befriend."
"Ok I get that but, who is Keryna?" Simon asked impassively.
"You don't remember Keryna? Well she is one of Gus and Anita Strat's daughters. Keryna Anita Strats is 17 and Kerry Ann Strats is 16" Sam said mater-o-factly.
"OK can we go now, don't want to be late for Ms. Knox's class you know!" Michael said then Simon headed for the door and Michael added " Oh and Mr. Colson the names Spike"
"Whatever you say Michael, see you in a bit Simon!" Sam said waving
"By Sam" Simon said genuinely.
"You leave for 13 years and you've suddenly outgrown calling me Uncle Sam." Sam yelled after them.
Simon poked his back through the door and said "13 years is suddenly? By Uncle Sam"
"Much better, by Simon."
----Scene two----
(Simon and Spike walking through a crowded hall.)
"The girl in front of the library is Kerry Ann Strats" Spike said gesturing to a girl about five foot seven very skinny with long wavy auburn hair and brown eyes. She was standing with a girl about five feet two with a medium build with medium length strait dirty-blond hair and brown eyes. "Who's that?" Simon asked gesturing to the other girl.
"Oh that is Samantha Lee Mariano otherwise known as Sammie. She is Kerry's best friend. While both girls are troublemakers Sammie is insane, last year she used food coloring to die her body nine colors then streaked the homecoming game, while it was in progress. Roomer has it that she is planning something bigger this year.
They passed the girls and came across a group of kids wearing dynamotors shirts, Spike gestured to them "Those are the geeks, or losers, most of them are tolerable but Reilly Henderson is awful." Simon looked up to see the person Spike indicated he saw an average looking girl dressed in out of date close. Simon got the feeling that Spike was one of the popular kids who was singling out Reilly because she was very smart.
Their tour continued to have lapped the school when they came to who were obviously the jocks Spike explained that these were the baseball players, and that in this school if you weren't on the baseball team you were nothing. He then admitted he was on the baseball team as well as the football team. Then just before they left, the baseball team members began to brag about how great Coach Geller is.
The last people Simon needed to meet were the rest popular kids; they met up with the group about ten minuets before school started. He was introduced to the group and met Keryna Anita Strats who looked allot like her sister being about five foot nine very skinny with long wavy auburn hair and brown eyes.
His curiosity got the better of him and he asked which group Mr. Colson's daughter hung out with and was surprised to learn that she alternated her time between the popular kids and the so called geeks although she spent most of her time alone. He also found out that she was a very private person who didn't really talk to anyone except Keryna.
After gaining a little bit of knowledge about the school and its occupants Simon headed back to Sam's class to start his first day.
