- Chapter 4 -
Sam's first day of classes, the very next day, went a lot smoother than the bio-tech visit. Her classes seemed adequate enough and she was even able to join the dance squad. Sa was an avid dancer. She had been dancing since she was 6. She had thought that she may have arrived too late in the school year to join the squad, however lucky enough for her, the dance teacher, Ms. York, was kind enough to give her an audition, right then and there. She was given a position right away.
The bell had just rung for lunch and Sam gathered her English books and left the classroom. She was immediately bombarded by Cassidy Cornell and Devin, who was holding his video camera at the ready. Cassidy linked arms with Sam and moved her away from the crowds.
"Samantha Oliver, Cassidy Cornell," Cassidy said in her usual demeanour, "Reporter for Reefside Reports. We like to interview all new students, give others a chance to get to know you."
"Uh...okay..." Sam said a little uncomfortable.
"Devin are you getting this?" Cassidy snapped at him. Devin nodded his head, as the little light on the video camera flashed on. Cassidy turned back to Sam, "You're Dr. Oliver's niece, are you not?"
"Yes...," Sam said a bit unsurely, not knowing where this question was leading to.
"Can you tell me what happened back in Angel Grove? What is he doing teaching high school science? What is the link--" Cassidy continued to bombard Sam with questions, as Sam found it difficult to one get a word in edge wise and two, not to spill anything about her Uncle.
Kira, Ethan and Connor had just come around the corner and saw Sam in the hooks of Cassidy and quickly made a beeline to help her out.
"Hey Sam!" Kira said pulling Sam out of the snares of Cassidy, "Come on, we're all going to get lunch."
"Ya...mmmm...lunch..." Ethan said as he and Connor got in between them and Cassidy. And then the four of the moved rather quickly away and around the corner.
Cassidy was fuming, how dare they interrupt her interview! She'd get down to the bottom of things here. She turned back around to Devin and his camera right in her face.
"Argh, get out of my way!" she huffed, pushing the camera away from her face and stomped away with Devin following her. * *

After school, the four of them piled into Connor's car to go to the Olivers' house.
"Cassidy was fuming at us all through class this afternoon, it was too funny!" Kira said laughingly.
"What's with her asking all the questions about Tommy?" Sam asked, dropping the 'Uncle' from in front of it, as it was just easier all round.
"She's been doing that since he got here," Ethan said, "It's actually quite funny. We'll tell her this tid bit of information that's undeniably false, and then she'll get all giddy over it and try to prove it!'
"But she can't because it's fake!" Connor said putting his two cents in, even if they are dulled pennies!
Sam, Ethan and Kira gave each other a look, as if to say 'doh!' To which of course Connor couldn't see because he was driving.
"Right..." Sam said to humour him. Connor beamed, as they pulled into the driveway.
