When Legends Are Real

Chapter5

The legends struggled through the crowd at school. Lorenzo waved to Ryo as they came up. "Sorry about that." Lorenzo apologized. "We didn't realize we were so popular already." Ryo laughed, as did the rest. "Well, you're here and we have time." Sage said. "This is what will happen…"

Lorenzo, Brene, and Juan sat on the stage waiting for the curtain to rise so the principal could introduce them. Lorenzo contemplated their luck on all getting the same classes. Then the curtain rose. They immediately looked for their friends and found them about halfway back. "Students," came the principal's voice over the microphone we are pleased to welcome three new arrivals this year." Arrivals? Lorenzo thought. "They are the Suraikashi twins, Lorenzo and Brene, and their cousin Juan Takahashi." Lorenzo, Brene, and Juan all stood up and bowed in turn. Lorenzo also noticed that Brene's smile was putting many boys into a trance. He laughed silently to himself. This will be an interesting school year, He thought.

Lunchtime

"Over here!" "Sit Here!" "With us!" Our heroes were getting swamped with table offers they looked over to where the Ronins and Sorceresses were watching with varying degrees of interest. The look they sent out was clear. "Help!" Brene mouthed. Sage got up and walked over. "Sorry, but I asked her to sit with me at lunch this morning." He said to all the men surrounding her. They scattered looking dejected. "They already agreed to sit with us." Ariel and Autumn added freeing the guys from a mob of clinging girls. "Thanks," Lorenzo said speaking for all of them as they sat down. Everyone started eating their lunch and engaging in chinwag (a.n. that means small talk). "So, how are your classes going?" Jade asked. "I hate math." Lorenzo and Juan replied together. Brene giggled. "On the other hand," she added, "science is not my strong point, especially physics." "What are your best classes?" Ryo asked. "History and Literature." Was Lorenzo's answer. Juan's best was just History. Brene was loving Literature and Art. "HEY!" shouted a shrill voice from behind Lorenzo, "You promised!" "Shoot me." Lorenzo muttered under his breath. "Hello Cassie," Brene said rolling her eyes. "You promised to sit with ME!!" Cassie shrieked at Lorenzo. "She promised herself I would." Lorenzo muttered to the guys who all valiantly tried not to laugh.

While Cassie continued to rant, Lorenzo desperately tried to think of an explanation or excuse. Just say it. Brene thought at him. "D'haaaaa! ALL RIGHT!!!! I'll drive you home today!" Lorenzo finally screamed. Cassie's face lit up like a Christmas tree and she walked away on air. Lorenzo for his part was begging Kento to kill him before the school day ended.

After School

"So anyway the girls agreed to let me ride with them." Brene explained to her brother. Juan had been offered a lift by Sage. "We're planning to go shopping so you might get home before me." She continued. "Okay, hurry, she's coming." Lorenzo said as Cassie started walking toward the parking lot. Brene scampered over to where Flair and the others were waiting. "THIS is your car?" Cassie asked in awe. "Yes" Lorenzo answered through his teeth with an obviously phony smile on his face. "Well let's get rolling!" Cassie exclaimed. Lorenzo with out answering waited for her to buckle up then put the car in gear and sped off. He finally got home two hours later. He staggered inside and pretended to pass out falling on the couch. "So how did it go?" Kento's voice was behind his ear. "Let me die in peace." Lorenzo mumbled. "Ouch." came Ariel's voice. For the first time Lorenzo looked around. They were all there, either doing homework or lounging. "We've been waiting." Jade said. "We're going to teach you some of the finer points of avoiding girls like her." Lorenzo proved to be a quick study.

Elsewhere

"SO THEY HAVE ENROLLED IN A SCHOOL. I CAN USE THIS TO MY ADVANTAGE" Shirevenon mused. "They will be easy prey during the school hours." Talpa added. They both began to laugh.
