The next morning, the 2 girls got up and walked on over to school. Sam
dropped Nikki off @ her school before heading over to her own. Sam's days
started off again with going to Socials. They worked on the states. As
another review, go over the states and capitals. Her next class was French.
And it was the same. Just going over things and doing new lessons within
groups. But then it went to P.E. They were playing basketball once again.
They'd be playing that for a while.
~P.E. class~
"Okay guys, back to your side of the court, and practice until the games start up again." Ms. Razz said as she heard the class say some things. It was along the line of 'oh yea, the game' or 'yea the game!' It was from yesterday's game with Sam. Most of the kids stood up and went over to their courts from yesterday.
"Simon. You weren't here yesterday." Ms. Razz called him over as Devon went to meet up with Tatri and Sam. "So, we're going to put you with.." She looked @ her clipboard. "Tatri's team. Hustle on over." She said and blew her whistle.
"Hey guys." Simon said as he jogged over to his team. "So, this is our team." He looked around @ Tatri, Devon, Nat, but had a strange look on his face. "Don't we have 5 people on our team?" he asked. And with that, someone that was tying their shoe got up and turned around.
"Yeah, we do have 5 people." Sam said with a smile.
"Oh, I didn't know that you were on my team." Simon told her. "But not that I don't want you on our team. Cause I do want you on our team. I mean I'm sure you're a good player." he babbled. As Sam just slowly nodded her head and smiled slightly he finished with this. "Let's play b-ball."
"Nice save bro." Devon joked and slapped his back. They started the game and went pretty good. When it came down that the 2 teams were tied @ a score of 8, Devon, Tatri and Sam both looked @ each other and nodded. This is when they took over the game. It was there ball and Tatri passed it in to Simon. He dribbled down the court and passed the ball to Devon when he got to the top of the key. When Devon made a fake shot, drove the ball to Sam. Where she scored from the corner of the court. Team 3 (Tatri's team) headed on back to their side of the court as defense. Pamela, which was on the other team headed down their way, she tried to make the shot, but Sam stole the ball just as she tried to shoot. With all of them running back down, Sam hurried to make the shot before anyone could stop her. That is if anyone would try. As Tatri told her before class started, she scarred some of the people in the class. This totally new girl comes out of nowhere and dominates the game in a snap. It would be interesting to see anyone try to stop Sam when she's on a roll. She took a lay-up and made it. Her team clapped her, and Tatri and Nat ran up to her to give you a high five. As the other team headed back to them, one of them that had the ball pushed Tatri while she tried to steal the ball from them. Ms. Razz called the whistle and Team 3 ran to Tatri.
"Tatri, you alright?" Sam asked by her side.
"Oh yeah, no prob gang. I can do." She said as they all got up. The game resumed and everyone went back to playing hard. Team 3 got the ball when Ms. Razz called out to everyone,
"Last minute!" with that, Nat drove the ball down and tried to shoot. But was blocked by one of the other teammates. She passed the ball over to Sam. Who threw the ball to Simon. He made the shot from the 3 point line. Devon came up to him and gave him a high five and Sam yelled out to him, "Alright Simon!" with a smile. He smiled back to her. A few more seconds left in the game, and Simon stole the ball from Chris and ran on down to their side. With a few seconds, he shot but didn't make it. Nat got the rebound, but was blocked. She passed it out to Sam which was at half court. It was a long shot, but with only a few seconds left she went for it. And made it! Everyone on her team ran up to her and cheered for her! With all this cheering, she thought this was an actual game. They all went to the locker rooms after the games were done.
Simon said to Devon as he put his backpack on, "Why didn't you tell me that the girl in P.E. yesterday was Sam?!" he exclaimed.
"I don't know it didn't seem like you needed the name. That's all." He said as they both closed their lockers.
"It's so cool. That she great @ basketball. I think she's so cool." He said wondering in his mind.
"Yo Simon, you okay?" Devon waved his hands in front of Simon's face.
"Oh yeah. C'mon, lets go." He said as they both went to their next class. They all went to their next 2 classes and went to lunch. Tatri, Sam, Devon and Simon sat together @ the same table. They all talked about P.E. class. And how it was a lot of fun. They talked for the entire period until the bell rang. When they went to class. For the rest of the day, Tatri and Sam talked about what they were going to plan for their Chorals project that they'll do with a partner. If they were paired up together, then they were thinking of some possible ideas that would be really good. Sam walked to Nikki's school and picked her up. They walked home together, and talked about what they did @ school today. Went home, and told both their mom and dad about their days. Did their homework and went to sleep. This went on for the rest off the week, basically the same schedule.
On Friday during Chorals class, Mr. Morita announced more about their project.
"Okay guys. I'll be announcing more details about your project next week Monday. Along with whom you shall be paired up with during this report. So, I'll see you all next week Monday class." He said as the bell just rang after he finished.
"So, wanna come over tomorrow? We can hang @ my house." Tatri asked Sam @ their lockers getting ready for lunch.
"Sorry. Wish I could, but we're gonna go to our new church here in town. But maybe on Sunday if we have nothing to do." Sam said as she closed her locker.
"That's cool." Tatri told her and they both walked to go to lunch.
The next day, around 10:00, the Williams all got ready and got into their car. They drove off to their new church that they'd be going to here in Glen Oak. They got to the church, and met the Reverend.
"Well, you must be the William's." he said as he heard a knock on his door and stood up. "Please, come in. Take a seat." He gestured to them. He shook Mr. Williams's hand. He sat back into his seat and welcomed them to his church.
"So, it's great that you have decided to be apart of this church." The Reverend said to them.
"We were thinking about which church to be part of, and found yours. It just spoke to us like this was the one." Mrs. Williams said.
"I'm glad you choose this one." He said with a smile. "And if I may ask, who are these two ladies you have with you?" he said, speaking of Nikki and Sam.
"These are my 2 girls. Samantha and Nicole." Mrs. Williams said properly.
"But just call us Sam and Nikki." Sam said with a smile. Nikki also looked to him and smiled too.
"Well, what efficient children you have." The Reverend said to them.
"Thank you." The 2 girls said @ the same time. While the 3 adults laughed and the 2 kids laughed, the Reverend started to say something.
"You two look like the age of 2 of my children." He said looking @ the two of them. "Maybe you go to school with them." He said.
"Possibly." Nikki told him. "But then there are many kids our age, and to find a couple, it's pretty hard." With a big amused smile, the Reverend said,
"I see. Well, thank you for that little tip."
"Excuse our daughters, sometimes they talk a little TOO much." Mr. Williams said looking towards them. For the rest of the time there, they just got to know the Revered, and he got to know them. Asked them questions like where they've moved from, what things they like. Just to get to know them a little bit more better. And in no time, a couple hours later, the Williams left his office heading back to their house. It seemed that the little meeting that they had was helpful towards getting used to the changes they've gone through.
The next day, Sam went next door to Tatri's house and hung out there. They went up to her room for a long time. They went in the back yard to play with Alex and Mickey, watched some videos in the living room, and ended back where they started. They mostly talked about the people @ school, teachers, homework. Basically friends stuff. And what they mostly talked about was the assortment of 'boys' in their school.
~Tatri's room~
"So, what'd ya think of the guys here @ Lawrence?" Tatri asked excitedly.
"They're okay I guess." Sam said looking through one of the magazines she found in Tatri's room.
"Oh come on, you must like someone!" she said, knowing that she probably does like someone. This one guy she's met.
"Well, I don't know if like's the word." She said swinging her legs in the air as she lay on Tatri's bed.
"So you do like someone!" Tatri said jumping on the bed, making Sam sit up.
"Well.." Sam tried to say.
"Ah! I knew it! I know you do!" Tatri said getting all excited.
~~Meanwhile~~
The Camden house..Mary and Lucy weren't there. Robby was out with Ruthie for ice cream. Mr. Camden wasn't home @ the time. But Matt was home for a short couple day visit.
"Hey Matt." Simon called to him while he was heading to his room. Matt was going back downstairs. "Could I ask you something?" Matt and Simon walked into Simon's room.
"What's up?" Matt asked as Simon sat down on the foot of his bed. And Matt grabbed one of the chairs to sit on. "Any trouble?" Matt asked concerned.
"Oh no, nothing like that." Simon reassured him. "But I was wondering..." he paused for a while.
"Yeah.." Matt said trying to get Simon to speak.
"Have you. have you. Have you ever met someone. And only knew them for a couple of days, but felt you really knew them?" he face changed.
"Girl right." Matt said in a brotherly way.
"Yea, it's a girl." Simon said smiling slightly.
"Well, you said you've just met her?" he asked Simon.
"Yea, only this week." Simon admitted.
"How much do you know about her?" Matt said to him.
"A lot! Her favorite color, sports team, sports to play, where she was born, when her birthday is, subjects in school, groups she was in @ her last school..." Matt cut him off.
"Okay, seems like you know some stuff about her." He said rubbing his hands together. "But can you describe her to me right now?"
"She's about my height, long wavy blackish brownish hair with red tips you can see in the sun, brown eyes, long curly eyelashes, likes to wear long pants with shirts, wears her hair up in a pony tail sometimes. If not then in a half half thing with her hair, with hair tied on the top and loose on the bottom, is right handed, and has the most beautiful smile I've ever seen." Simon finished.
"Woa. Well, seems like the perfect girl for you. Call me when you plan the wedding." Matt said and got up from the chair. Simon followed him as well.
"But wait, what do I do know?" Simon said stopping him and forcing Matt to sit back down in the chair.
"Well, why don't you just ask her out? Seems like you like her a lot, I'm sure she likes you too." Matt said encouragingly.
"Yea, I guess. But then there's her bringing her to the house. You know mom and dad want to meet her." Simon said.
"Oh right. But hey, you only have to deal with mom and dad. Remember, Mary and Lucy doesn't live here anymore. So they can't bag on you if they think she's too good for you. Robby's fine with everyone. And Ruthie, well, she's Ruthie. So you have nothing to loose." Matt reassured his brother.
"I guess you're right. But, I don't want to ask her out now. I mean, she just moved here." Simon told Matt.
"Well then, just wait a little while. Don't rush it. But don't ask her too late, cause you might be too late." Matt said as Simon nodded his head in agreement.
~~On the other side~~
"So, who do you like!?" Tatri kept asking Sam.
"No one." Sam said innocently.
"Oh yes you do!" Tatri said smiling as she bumped Sam on the shoulder. "Oh come on, I know you like someone."
"No you don't. Besides, if I did like anyone, there'd be nothing to do once you found out." Sam said.
"Well, you can't be too sure about that." Tatri said in a sneaky way.
"What are you thinking!?"
"Nothing." Tatri lied.
RING RING RING
"Sam, you're mom wants you home for dinner." Mrs. Anderson called up to Tatri's room.
"Well, I guess you'll never find out if I like anyone. Oh well!" Sam said trying to hurry out the door. "See ya!" Sam said as she headed out her door while Tatri smiled and shook her head.
~P.E. class~
"Okay guys, back to your side of the court, and practice until the games start up again." Ms. Razz said as she heard the class say some things. It was along the line of 'oh yea, the game' or 'yea the game!' It was from yesterday's game with Sam. Most of the kids stood up and went over to their courts from yesterday.
