Chapter 7
Finally after practice everyone headed to the mess hall for dinner. Kim and Mandy walked slowly behind everyone else, feeling extremely left out. "I hope they have something good for dinner, cuz there is no way I can stand it here if the food's not good." Mandy sighed.
"It's pizza." Crutchy informed them as he turned around. "Mandy you're doing really well so far, and if you want Pie Eater and I can help you."
"Ok, thanks, I'll keep that in mind." Mandy smiled. They then entered the mess hall and the two girls sat themselves in a far corner table.
"You're in my seat." Spot informed Kim walking up to her. "The senior percussionist have sat here since we were freshmen and that it my seat."
"They can sit with us." Mush told Spot, "I mean they ARE seniors too and we have enough room for two more."
"Fine, but at least move over and out of my seat." Spot grouched. Kim scooted over a seat. A second later the rest of the senior drummers were seated at the table. On one side it sat Mush, Mandy, Racetrack, Specs and Pie Eater. The other side sat Spot, Kim, Kid Blink, Jack and Crutchy.
"That music is so hard!" Jack complained. Spot gave him an amused look.
"It was cake." Spot declared leaning against the wall.
"Senior girls!" Mr. S. called over the microphone, "Come get your food." The two girls slowly walked toward the food tables.
"So what do you think of them?" Racetrack asked once they were out of earshot.
"Mandy is nice, and I really haven't gotten to talk to the other one yet." Crutchy informed them.
"She is really quiet when she's not with Mandy!" Jack said with amazement.
"Kim's really good though, and Pie Eater told me Mandy is pretty good at cymbals too." Kid Blink commented.
"Yep, she is…" Pie Eater agreed.
"So what do you think Spot?" Specs asked.
"For one those girls have good reasons to be quiet, and yes I do agree Kim is good, but not great. I saw her mess up a little bit." Spot said cockily.
"Well I saw you mess up a little bit too, Spot." Kid Blink replied. A look of anger crossed Spots' face and he was about to reply when Specs interrupted his train of thought.
"Shhh… here they come." Race said softly.
"All I have to say is thank goodness they have Mountain Dew. I'd be in complete bitch mode all week if they didn't." Kim told Mandy as they sat back down at the table.
"Senior boys!" Mr. S shouted. All of the boys left the table.
"I definitely think they were talking about us." Mandy told Kim in a hushed voice.
"I'm pretty sure they were too. They were all hunched over and they stopped talking as soon as we got back." Kim decided. "I don't care anymore though. All I want to think about right now is getting this pizza into my stomach."
