There was a big banner hung across the front of Playa Linda High School saying 'Welcome Back'. Bradin stepped into the school and pulled out a piece of paper that had his locker number and combo. One of the guys walking by stopped to talk to him.
"Are you new here?" the guy asked.
"Yea, how can you tell" Bradin replied.
"You look a little lost" the guy laughed.
"My name is Kevin" the guy said.
"Hey, my name is Bradin" Bradin replied.
"What's your first class?" Kevin asked.
Bradin pulled out another piece of paper.
"English" Bradin replied.
"I have Math, but we should hookup at lunch and I'll introduce you to the gang" Kevin replied.
"Okay" Bradin replied.
"I'll be looking for you in the cafeteria" Kevin said as he walked away.
Bradin took a deep breath as he walked into his first class. He couldn't believe that the summer was over already and he was going back to school. He would be in grade eleven this year, how time went by fast.
He had recieved his schedule in the mail a week before, so he knew that he had english first block.
Bradin took a seat in one of the desks near the back of the class. He watched the other students as they slowly filed into the room.
The teachers name was Mrs Carmichael. Bradin quickly learnt that she rambled a lot and often got totally off topic. Like when she was doing the attendance and called out Bradin Westerly she started talking about her family that lived out west, because of his last name. Even though it had no relevance.

"Bradin" Kevin called from his group of friends in the cafeteria.
"Hey" Bradin said as he went to sit with them.
"Guys this is Bradin, and Bradin these are the guys" Kevin said.
"Hey, I'm Mitch" one guy introduced himself.
"Mike" the guy who was obviously the leader of the group said.
"Brad" another guy said.
"Dustin"
"Jonah"
"Matt"
"And that's Nathan" Kevin said as he pointed to one guy who seemed too interested in his lunch to look up.
"So what classes do you have this term?" Jonah asked.
"English, Math, French and PE" Bradin replied.
"Hey, you're in my english class aren't you" Matt asked.
"Mrs Carmichael, first period?" Bradin asked.
"Yea" Matt replied.
They were silent for a few minutes while they ate their lunch.
"So what sports do you play?" Kevin asked.
"I surf and I used to play football at my old school" Bradin replied.
"Are you going to try out for our school football team?" Matt asked.
"I donno" Bradin replied. he didn't want to say, but playing football again might make him miss Kansas and his parents too much.
"You should" Jonah said.
"Yea, we all play on the team" Dustin added.
"You could be one of the guys" Brad said.
"I guess I'll try out. I don't have anuthing to lose" Bradin replied.
"Unless you such. Then you'll lose your dignety" Mike said as he hrabbed his tray and left.
"Don't mind Mike. He's always an asshole" Kevin said.
"He's just testing you. To make sure you have the balls to hang out with us" Jonah said.
"It's like hazing" Matt added.
"So when are the try outs?" Bradin asked, changing the subject.
00000000000000000000000000000000000
For three days in a row Bradin went to the football try outs after school from 3-5pm. At the end of the third day the coach, Mr Robinson called them all together.
"I have the list of the guys who made the team and I'll put it up in the change room" he said.
All the guys were huddled around the list that made been put up. It wasn't until the other guys were clearing out that Bradin got a look at the list.
'Bradin Westerly' it said.
"Congrats" one of the guys said as he slapped Bradin on the back.
"Thanks" Bradin replied.
Bradin was in a daze as he took a shower and changed. He hadn't actually expected to make the team. But here he was, one of the guys as Brad had put it a fews days before.

"You're playing what?" Ava asked.
"Football" Bradin repeated.
"That's awesome buddy" johnny said.
"But isn't that dangerous?" Ava asked.
"Come on Ava let the man play" Jay said.
"What if he gets hurt?" Ava asked "I don't want anything happening to him" she said.
"Hello, I'm still standing right here" Bradin said. They had been talking about him as though he wasn't even there.
"Sorry, I just don't think it's a good idea" Ava said.
"Everything will be fine, I promise" Bradin replied.
"Fine" Ava sighed, she knew that she had lost the battle.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000
Bradin had a sense of power and authority as he walked around the school with the guys and his new letter jacket on.
"The party starts at 10 don't be late" Mike said.
"What party?" Bradin asked.
"I keep forgoting how little you know" Mike shook his head "Fill him in" he said to Kevin and then walked away.
"Every year at the start of the football season we have party. Only players and cheerlwaders are invited. At the party all the players are given one of the cheerleaders. For the rest of the year it's up to the cheerleader to keep their player happy, do whatever he asks her too" Kevin said.
"Sounds cool, where is the party?" Bradin asked.
"How 'bout I come pick you up" Kevin suggested.
"Sure" Bradin replied.
