Chapter 39
Liberty pinned the flyers for writers to work on The Grapevine on the bulletin board as she entered the school.
"The Grapevine?" Sammy asked. "What is that?"
"It's the school newspaper," Liberty said. "I know it's the second day of school. But I want the paper to come out on Friday for the first week of school's issue. Are you interested?"
"You say writing and I'll jump at the opportunity," she said.
Liberty handed her a flyer. "I'm Liberty van Zandt," she said. "And you are?"
"Sammy Thomas," Sammy replied.
"Oh, so you're Sammy Thomas."
"Yeah. That's me."
"Well, welcome to Degrassi."
"Thanks," Sammy replied. "Is there anything particular you want me to write?"
Liberty shook her head. "But talk to me at lunch," she said. "Then we can discuss any ideas you might have."
"Cool," Sammy replied. "See you at lunch then."
"See you," Liberty said. Liberty watched Sammy turn and walk away.
JT walked up to Liberty. "What were you and Sammy talking about?" he asked.
"She's interested in The Grapevine," she said. "Why?"
"No reason," JT said. "Do you think I could write for the Grapevine?"
Liberty looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "You want to write? Outside of schoolwork?" she asked.
"Yeah," JT said. "I mean, I'm the mascot I think I could do sports through the mascot's eyes. Huh?"
"Sure," Liberty replied. "Well, we don't have any games the first week of school but, sure."
"Great!" JT said.
Liberty handed JT a flyer and he took off. Liberty watched him leave. She sighed. He was even cuter than he was last year.
