They had managed to get through the morning without any problems, now the
twins sat out side. On the grass around them were the remains of their
lunch.
Hope pulled the last item out of her bag and opened the brown paper package to reveal home made cookies.
Destiny was there in an instant, "Don't you think you were a bit rude earlier?" he asked as he stole one of her biscuits. "Why?" "Well these people don't know everything about their own solar system let alone anyone else's. You can be a bit blunt."
Hope rolled her eyes, "God Destiny thanks for the advice." Her tone had an underlying tone of sarcasm. Her brother just shook his head. Hope rolled her eyes in turn, why did her brother have to try and act all mature all the time? He may have been older but only by a matter of minutes!
Joss' mind was full of the blue eyed girl he had spent most of his morning with. Looking up he now saw her and stopped talking to Tyler.
His classmate followed his gaze across the sports field. "What's up with you?" Tyler asked in a careless tone. "Nothing. Let's go." Joss said taking the basketball from his companion and walking off towards the ground. Tyler shook his head and followed.
Fifteen minutes into their game and Joss was losing interest. "Ok," his friend started, "What's up with you and the English kids?"
Joss turned swiftly, "What do you mean?" "You were looking at them earlier."
Joss considered for a moment, "What do you think of Hope?" "You fancy her don't you?" It was more of a statement than a question. "Well she's hot but don't you think she's a bit weird? You heard them this morning." Joss shrugged.
"She wasn't exactly nice to you either." "So? She wasn't mean either." "So? She could be a complete bitch!" Shrugging Joss decided to take Tyler's advice. At least for a week.
The Library was almost deserted now but he could see Hope Blackstone reading at a table a few feet away.
She looked up as he approached, "Hello." "Hey." Joss replied nervously, "Um is anyone sitting here?" "No, please." Hop said patting the chair beside her.
Joss sat down slowly and looked at her. Hope smiled at him, a smile that revealed impossibly straight and white teeth. Suddenly Joss realised what was wrong with the scene, "Where's your brother?"
Hope tucked a dark brown wave behind her ear, "Library, he wanted a head start on this History essay. Apparently." She knew it probably had more to do with the girls he met in class who had invited him to work with them.
She returned her eyes to the book she was reading. It looked unbelievably heavy. "Library?" she looked up, "Pardon? Oh, no this is one of mine." "You read about Physics for fun?" Hope looked up again and raised a brow at him, "It's really quite fascinating."
Joss was sure he could never describe physics as 'fascinating'. His class mate was still looking intently at him as if in study, it was making him feel slightly nervous. "Um, how are you finding High School?" he finally managed. "Fine really but I haven't found an extra-curricular activity I like yet." "I heard there're try-outs for the cheerleader squad next week."
His suggestion only caused Hope to look at him like he was completely insane. "What?" "Cheerleading? Spelling out letters and talking in rhyme? Please. It hardly presents a challenge for me." She stopped to laugh to herself. "How do you spend your time outside of class anyway?" She said before returning her eyes to her book.
The scene was not going entirely as Joss had hoped, he tried again to impress her; "Surfing and I'm trying out for the basket-ball team. I was on my middle schools team, ever play?" Hope looked at him sceptically over her book, she wasn't about to admit she had never heard of such a game but she decide it was safe to answer the question. "No, never tried."
Just then the bell sounded and she sprang to her feet. "Bye." Joss managed. She offered him only a nod before collecting her bag and leaving. Leaving him, Joss sighed and soon did the same; he went to the locker hall to get his books.
