Becka peeked her head out from the corner. Behind her, her giggling friends
wouldn't shut up. "Shhh." Becka said, putting a finger up to her nose. They
nodded in obedience
She took another look from behind the corner and a huge smile crept onto her face as a yellow bus pulled up into the parking lot.
"They're here!" she squealed in excitement. The other girls smiled and joined Becka at the wall.
None of them had seen a single boy, their age, in two years. They saw their fathers and brothers, but they didn't really count to them.
The bus came to a stop and the door opened. It was in slow motion for all of them, as a tall boy, wearing a cowboy hat, walked off. He had brown hair that was combed back and brown eyes. He was wearing a pair of black Dickies and a long sleeved white shirt that had different words plastered all over it.
He was followed by another boy, who was a little shorter then the first one. He had golden brown hair that was sloppily brushed back and mesmerizing blue eyes. On his side, hung a black cane and on the other, there was an old looking slingshot. Around his neck, there was a silver key. He was wearing brown pants with, what looked like, red suspenders hanging off. There were many chains hooked up to them, as well. He had on a plain back shirt on and an old fashioned dark blue hat on top of his head
"Wow." Becka thought as he joined his companion. Erika came up from behind her and pointed towards the boy with the cowboy hat. "He's cute.which means.he's mine."
The girls giggled as they watched a boy with really curly brown hair and brown eyes walk off. He was wearing brown shorts that had brown suspenders hanging at his sides. He had on a black sweatshirt that had a skull on the back.
Vanessa took one look at him and whispered to Becka, "He's mine.got it?" Apparently, everyone else hear, too. They all nodded and looked back at the bus.
Next, was a boy with an eye patch covering his left eye. He had messy blond hair and one blue eye. He was wearing a blue buttoned up shirt with a noticeable white under shirt. He had on a pair of blue Levis with a dragon imprint on the right.
Becka turned around and looked at everyone. "Who wants him?" Nicole blushed and slowly raised her hand. Becka smiled and nodded. "Ok.but then.I get.the one with the cane and slingshot." They nodded as yet another boy walked off.
He was about the same size as the second boy. He had black hair that was parted up to the side and brown eyes. He was wearing an old Levis jacket with a plain white shirt under it. His pants were two different shades of blue mixed in one with a black line that went down his left side.
To the girls surprise, he pulled out a cigar and lighter! He stuck it in his mouth and walked over to the group of boys, like it was a normal thing or something.
Becka's jaw dropped and she slowly looked over her shoulder. Lisa smiled and walked closer to Becka, who could see the group of boys the best. "I'll take him." Vanessa giggled and whispered to Nicole, "She'll take him because then she'll have someone to smoke.whatever it is she smokes.with."
They both giggled but stopped when Lisa hit them across the head. "I do NOT smoke anything! I just.get a little.hyper...sometimes." the girls gigged as Lisa continued, "And besides.he looks like he can have fun." the girls laughed harder as Lisa snorted and looked back towards the bus.
A tall Asian looking boy walked off. We all looked over at Abby and saw that she was mesmerized. Abby was half Korean, so she liked all the Asian guys.
The boy was rather tall and had brown hair that was parted to the side, but also brushed back. He had brown eyes and was wearing a buttoned up checkered red shirt. You could tell that he wasn't wearing another shirt underneath because you could almost see right through it. He had on a pair of brown pants with the usual suspenders hanging from his side.
"Looks like we know who Abby wants." Vanessa said, patting Abby on the back. She just nodded as we watched the rest of the boys walk off. To their surprise, they actually knew the most of them!
They used to go to they're old school, before they got sent to this stupid "girls only" school. The boys looked exactly the way that they remembered them.bored, hyper, and really excited, all at the same time.
Nicole and Lisa were about to go greet the familiar faces, but Becka stopped them. "Wait.since we've already claimed our boys, let's see if they'll notice us.before we start this little game."
She made an evil grin and everyone nodded. They slowly made their way out from behind the corner and headed towards the boys that they knew.
"Hi Jeovani!" Becka said, walking up to the small group. She looked over her shoulder as the other girls came running up to them.
"Becka? What are you guys doing here?" Jeovani said, giving Becka a hug. She smiled and watched as Nicole walked up to Cory. "Miss me?" she said, giving him a small peck on the cheek.
He blushed and mumbled something that sounded like a yes. They all giggled as Vanessa walked up to the shortest boy of the group.
"Alfrado? Is that you?" she said, leaning her head on top of his. "Yes." he answered cautiously. They all giggled as she continued. "Were you been, Corn-Chip?" They all laughed at Vanessa's pet name for her ex-boyfriend.
"So Corn-Chip." Nicole said, grabbing Cory's arm and dragging him over to Vanessa. "How you been?"
"He's fine." Shane said, trying to get Vanessa off of him, but failing miserably. Lisa walked up from behind Greg and tapped him on the shoulder. The second that he laid his eyes on her, he was mesmerized. Greg had always had a crush on Lisa, everyone knew it, but he was too shy to tell her.
"Hi!" Lisa said in a sweet voice. He shook his head and she hugged him, making him blush even more. They all laughed and Abby went over to Aaron and punched him in the shoulder.
"So.Poocho! How's it been?" Everyone laughed at the remembrance of Aaron's old nick-name. "My name's not Poocho." he said, a little annoyed.
"Right.and I'm not Weirdo." Abby said. The boys raised their eyebrows as the girls started to laugh.
"Over here." Becka started, "We gave each other nick-names.since Bush made us leave behind everything that we used to know, we decided to leave behind out old names, too. We still call each other by our real names, but only in privet."
The boys still looked confused, but they slowly nodded. "I'm Hot Shot." Becka said, holding out her hand, as if they were meeting for the first time. Jeovani took her hand as Nicole grabbed Cory's, "They call me Socks.don't ask why.they just do." the boys laughed and then Lisa said, "Hey, a name's a thing someone else gives you.it's not something that you choose.the rest of the girls in the dorm chose our names for us."
The boys nodded, a little excited at the word "dorm". There were 20 boys, but over 200 girls all the same building that they had to sleep in!
"So." Chris said, coming up from Becka. "you're saying that in a few days, we'll have weird nick-names, too?" Becka nodded and hugged her old friend.
"So what's your name?" Aaron said, looking over at Lisa. She sighed and Nicole giggled. "I'm...Foxy." The boys laughed and looked over at Vanessa. "Flirt." was all she said. Alfrado nodded and said, "That fits you perfectly!"
BONG! "Ow!" Alfrado said, rubbing his head in the spot that Vanessa had hit him in. They all laughed and Erika looked over at the bus, a huge smile on her face. Erik jumped off and smiled at the group f familiar faces.
"So.what's your name?" he said, walking over to them. Apparently, he had heard their whole conversation from inside the bus. Erika sighed and looked over at Becka, who nodded. Erika looked back over at Erik and sigh, again. "The name's.Tweek."
They all laughed and the boys picked up their bags. "So.were do we go to get our schedules and stiff?" Alfrado asked. Vanessa pointed towards a huge door that read : "Big Bear Mountain School for the Gifted Souls".
They all laughed and the boys walked in, but the girls decided to do something else. Once they were sure that the boys were gone, they slowly made their way towards the other group of boys from before.
The boy with the cane and sling shot walked over to Becka, his friends right behind him. "What's your name?" he said.
Becka raised her eyebrow and looked him in the eye. A shiver went down her spine and said held out her hand. "Call me." she thought about what to tell him. Her real name? Or given name?
"Call me.Hot Shot." she said, shaking his hand. "My name's Spot. Spot Conlon." The girls giggled as Spot pointed out the rest of the boys. "This is Mush, Kid Blink, Racetrack, Swifty, and-" "Jack! Jack Kelly." The last boy said. He held out his hand and Erika grabbed it.
"Hi.I'm Shorty." she said, a huge smile on her face. Becka rolled her eyes and pointed out the rest of the girls. "That's Socks, Weirdo, Kisses, and Flirt."
The girls giggled behind her and Becka walked closer to Spot. "So how'd you come up with the name.Spot?" He smiled and she blushed.
"I'll tell you.if.you tell me how you got your name." Becka sighed and looked over at Abby, who was busy talking with Swifty.
"A name's something that someone else gives you.you don't give yourself one." Becka rubbed her arm and saw that it was starting to snow.
Spot nodded and grabbed his bag off from the floor. "Do you think you pretty ladies can show us around?" The girls nodded and led the boys inside.
