Cammie readjusted her bookbag on her shoulder as she leaned over the table and grabbed a glass of orange juice that Mark had set out. She drank it quickly, turning to leave when she collided with Mark's chest with a 'oof.' Mark laughed, grabbing her wrist and spinning her around.

'You look nice." he said, surveying her loose black cargo pants and tight red WrestleMania 12 shirt.

"You could do with a looser shirt, don't you think." he added, tugging at the bottom of it.

"Mark, quit it!" she laughed, pulling away from her brothers grip and putting the glass away.

"Do you need a ride to school?"

"No. I'm going with Sarah and Hope."

"Who's driving?"

"Ric."

"That's good. Don't get in too much trouble today."

Cammie rolled her eyes, "Do I ever."

"I know you. You can hardly keep your mouth shut for five minutes. You or Sarah. You guys should really take a page from Hope's book." Mark said, picking up the morning paper.

"Hope has a wild side, too."

"I know. Just not as prominent as yours. I'll be leaving tonight, you know."

"Yes, Mark, I know."

"I won't be back for two days."

"I KNOW."

"Are you sure you are going to be alright by yourself?"

"I'm sure. I've done it before, haven't I?"

"I'm just looking out for you, sis."

"I know. I've gotta go. I'll see you after school."

Cammie readjusted her bag again and gave her brother a kiss on the forehead. Mark smiled, patting her on the back as she headed to the door.

Meanwhile, Hope was running around her house, trying to get ready to leave. It was their first day in their Sophomore year at a new school, and she had lost her bookbag already.

"DADDY! Have you seen my book bag?" she yelled down the stairs.

"It's right here in the kitchen. Come on down, breakfast is ready."

Hope sighed and headed down in to the kitchen. She smiled at her father and sat down at the table. "Are you gonna give us a ride to school today?" she asked, stabbing a fork in to her eggs.

"Yes. The girls should be here any minute, so you should hurry up. Do you have everything ready?"

"Yeah."

"Did you brush your teeth, do you hair?"

"Yes, dad."

"Are you ready for school?"

"Yeah." Hope replied as her father took a seat across from her.

"You remember what I told you last night about me being gone for two days?"

"Yes, dad."

"I don't want you out of the house besides going to school, got it? I'll be calling to check in on you."

'Yes, dad. I know."

"I'll leave you some money, okay?"

"Yes, dad." Hope sighed.

"Don't spend it all in one night, cause I can't send any more."

"Dad, you're only gonna be gone for two days!"

"I'm just worried. I'll call you if I'll be any later. I should be home before you get home on Wednesday."

"Dad, I know. That's Cammie." she said, getting up to answer the door as someone knocked.

Sarah took a seat at the breakfast table. Her brother, who had come to North Carolina a week earlier to check out a college campus, was digging around to find his car keys.

"D'you need a ride?" he asked, finally finding them.

"I'm going with Hope and Sarah. Ric's giving us a ride."

Ryan nodded, grabbing a poptart from the cabinet. They had spent all weekend unpacking and everything, but there were still a few things left to unpack; dishes included.

"D'you know where dad'll be tonight?"

"Um. I think they are just going up to Raleigh."

"What about the next day?"

"New York."

Sarah nodded, finishing off her apple juice and standing up. "I'll see you after school." she said.

"Hey!" her brother called, turning her around, "I won't be home till ten tonight. Dad'll be gone, so don't leave."

"Will you guys just quit it!" Sarah called, leaving.

The girls all piled in to Ric's Hummer.

"Are you guys nervous?" he asked.

"No." they all replied.

"That's good. Are you going to be doing anything after school?"

"Dad, it's our first day; their school year has already sarted, and we don't know anyone." Hope said.

"Well, I mean, together. Besides, you guys might meet some people."

"I hope there's some hot guys." Cammie said, still settling in the back seat.

"Me, too." Sarah agreed, "What the hell are you doing?" she added as Cammie almost kneed her in the face.

"Getting comfortable. So did y'all get 'The Speech' this morning?"

"Definatley."

"Dad wouldn't shut up!" Hope laughed, elbowing her father.

"Would you rather me not worry?" Ric asked, turning in to the school parking lot.

"Union Pines." Sarah read as they got out of the car.

"Have fun!" Ric said, pulling his sunglasses back on, "I'll see you in three days, honey."

He waved to the girls and drove off. Hope rolled her eyes.

"Where are we supossed to go again?" Sarah asked, looking around at the others nervously.

"Um, the business office." Cammie said, "Come on."

The three girls walked in to the somewhat big high school. There weren't that manypeople. Maybe 90-100. It wasn't hard to find the Business office, it was right inside the front doors. The teachers mailboxes were on the wall and it was small and kind of crowded, only fitting one desk. A sophisticatedlooking brunette woman sat behind it.

"Can I help you?" she asked.

"Yeah, um. I'm Cammie Calloway, this is Sarah Tucker, and Hope Flair. We are new here, and we really don't know what to do."

"Um, let me get your files, and then you can head to the principals office." the woman smiled, going to the file cabinet.

She took out three yellow folders and handed them tot he girls. "The principals office is just down that hall." she smiled.

"Thanks." Hope said as they headed out the room.

The door to the principals office was open, so they just went inside. There was a small waiting area and then a door that obviously led to where the principal was. Another brunette lady sat behind a desk in the middle of the room.

"Can I help you?"

"Yeah, we were told that we had to come here with our files. We're new here." Sarah explained.

"Really. Well, I'll take your files, and you can have a seat. Dr. Harris will be done in a minute."

Almost as soon as the words left the woman's mouth, a somewhat tall, middle-aged man came out of the room. He had dark hair and a plump stomach. He wore a grey leisure suit with small yellow pinstripes. a white shirt peaked through the over coat. he had a blonde boy in one arm and an unatural brunette in the other. The brunette was tall with hazel eyes and the blonde was smaller and shorter with green eyes.

"Hardy, Moore, you had better head off to class." he said to them.

Tey both nodded, leaving. The man seemed to notice the girls for the first time since they had been there.

"Can I help you?" he asked.

"These are the new students. The ones from Florida." the woman behind the desk explained.

"Really, well, why don't you three step in to my office?"

Sarah, Hope, and Cammie looked to each other, before following the principal in to the office. He took a seat behind a big desk and motioned to the seats in front of it. A gold name plate read Dr. Harris.

"I'm Dr. Harris," he said, "Could I see your files?"

The girls handed Dr. harris their files. He looked them over and set them down, opening another file. He smiled, handing them each a paket of papers.

"Your locker numbers, combinations and scheduals." he explained, "First hour starts soon, but you have a pass to get to class late. Just make it before the end of class."

The girls nodded, heading off to their lockers.
