On the first day back from summer vacation Freddy and Zack laughed as they passed Dewey in the hall- he was pretending to fly with pens and Sharpies sticking out of his ears, nose, and pant pockets.
"Every other teacher is just so boring compared to the Dewey man!" Freddy sighs as they pass Principle Mullins and Mr. Schneebly (6th grade science and math).
"Yeah, you're right. Too bad the teachers just can't let loose," Zack agreed. At that moment, Summer, Michelle, and Eleni walk by, arms linked. Zack can't get his eyes off them- Zack has had a crush on Summer since she first became band manager.
"Ooh, look at the ladies! The plaid skirts and white polos are totally hot, they've definitely let loose since last year" Freddy laughs.
Summer rolls her eyes and Michelle winks at Freddy, Eleni just giggles.
"Do you think they'd ever go out with one of us, or maybe a dance?" Zack asks, hopefully.
"Highly doubtful," Freddy says.
Every month at Horace Green Prep (grades K-8 with a new middle school campus) there is a school dance, and the 3 girls (Summer, Michelle, and Eleni aka the Sweets) never ask anyone, they only get asked. Unfortunately for them, they might not be asked after the kids from Stanley L. Grey transfer to H.G...
In their homeroom, the H.G. kids are surprised to see a number of new kids, all of which are way cooler than them, they will soon find out.
"Woah! They sure know how pretty up them girls at Stan Grey!" Freddy exclaims and whistles.
"Yeah, they do don't they?" Zack replies, surprised. After he walked into the classroom, he forgot all about his crush on Summer.
The girls that Freddy and Zack were staring at, and now Lawrence & Frankie were doing some gazing of their own, are Zoe Trembley, Ashley Winston, and Emma Hansen aka the Barbies (called that for a reason). They were the 3 most popular girls at Stan Grey, and might just be here at H.G.
Katie, Tomika, and Alicia walk in, aka the Toughies, and can't believe their eyes.
"Hey, they guys from Stan Grey aren't half bad," Katie says looking at a couple of boys sitting near the Barbies.
"Looks like Freddy and Zack will have some major competition," Michelle agrees walking up from behind them.
Summer just shrugs, thinking about her very secret crush on Zack. I think I might have some competion, too.
