I had been with the boys a week. It was an interesting group to say the least. They seemed to bounce off each other. They would even finish each other's sentences. Sometimes they would go into these horrible insult battles and laugh about it. I was expecting some weird boy things, but I think this group was just strange.
"Craig the Leg has been sighted." Race said looking up at the Craig, who was crossing the lunchroom heading for our table.
"Oh crap." I whispered slightly coming out of my shell of shyness.
Jack laughed, he enjoyed provoking Craig.
"Hey Trina, You think just because you sit with these losers doesn't mean I still don't need your lunch money." I looked up at Craig; he was smirking with pride.
I sighed. "Once again I don't have it, I already bought lunch with it."
"Okay then give me your lunch." He commanded. All at once all the boys started cracking up.
"You really think she's just going to hand you her lunch without a fight?" Race asked incredulously. Apperantly they had never seen Craig and I interact.
"She better if she knows what's go for her." He replied.
"Well do you know it's good for a person to eat? Sometimes she might need that lunch. Besides you could lose a few pounds yourself." Jack was trying as hard as he possibly could to hold back a laugh, but he couldn't and burst out laughing.
"If you know what's good for you Kelly you'll shut up now." Craig warned.
"Eat this." Jack tossed Craig an apple and turned around. I couldn't hold it in anymore. I turned to Craig and smiled broadly.
Craig angrily walked off. I don't think Jack scared off Craig. Maybe it was all of us together as opposed to just me, as it used to be.
Jack laughed when I turned back around. "You aren't as shy as you act, are you?"
"I dunno." Then I went back to eating my lunch.
"Dude, look there's the new girl." Mush pointed out.
"She's hot." Blink said.
"I cannot tell a lie," Race commented implying some kind of joke about George Washington. "She ain't bad." I gave him a look.
"Jack, what do you think?" Mush asked.
"She's okay, but I don't see what the big deal is." He replied.
"Dude, look at her." Blink said in awe of Jacks horrible taste.
"She's got cool shoes." I commented.
All the guys turned, and stared at me, this happens a lot. The stare was an unspoken 'shut up,' so I did.
"Okay...anyway, look at her hair." Race said. "Its red, no, no it's not red it bright red."
"You mean hot red." Blink corrected.
"Maybe you guys don't remember, but this was my table of solitude before you came invaded it, so lets change the subject or I'm kicking all of you off my table." I said thoroughly grossed out.
"I must concur." Jack agreed, but I'm not sure if he was grossed out or not.
The subject was soon changed to 'Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.' It appeared that Blink had seen the movie three times, he had a little Gwyneth Paltrow fetish.
"Gwyneth Paltrow is pretty." I said.
"You homo." Blink replied, all the guys looked at me in disgust.
"You just called me the Greek root word homo which means 'same.' So you could be calling me the homosphere, homogeneous, homonym, or as you were using it homosexual. Be more specific next time."
Needless to say, he didn't respond no one did.
After my brief interruption all the boys went back to Gwyneth Paltrow. The subject of Gwyenth Paltrow led them to the subject of 'super hot babes.' I spaced out, thinking about the way my life used to be before I met the 'Bond-inators.' I heard my name mentioned, turns out that they were talking about some Spanish super model named Katrina. While my head was up, and I was conscience of the real world, I noticed the girl still wandering around looking for a place to sit.
Jack apparently also noticed her, because he shot me a smirk, and invited the girl to sit with us. Her hair was most definitely red. It was a brilliant color. No hair dye could have done that. She was thin, rather short, and seemed relieved to have found a place to sit.
She sat in between Jack and I. Jack seemed pleased with himself. I just hoped I didn't have to speak to her, a simple hello was good enough for me. My shyness was coming back, and my phobia of meeting new people never left.
I was so busy thinking about how I didn't want to talk to her that I didn't realize Jack and her turn to me, so I could introduce myself.
"Four eyes?" Jack asked, trying to get my attention.
I turned to look at them. I must have been blushing when I saw them because Jack made some comment about it.
"Four eyes?" She asked curious about Jacks nickname.
"Actually my name is Katrina, but everyone who doesn't call me Four Eyes calls me Trina." I said.
"I'm Kathleen, sometimes called Red, but basically Kathleen." I smirked and shook her hand. It was no secret why someone would call her Red. I went back to my lunch, and Jack went back to impressing her with his 'amazing personality' as he calls it.
While I was eating I wasn't paying much attention, and spaced out, but I heard a few things Jack would say.
"Does your group have some sort of funny name? When I first got here some girls were talking to me about you guy's, and they said something about a stupid name. Bond-lovers? Something to do with James Bond." Kathleen asked.
"James Bond? No, we don't have a name."
I quietly snickered, it was obvious Jack liked her, I wondered what he was going to do about it. I hadn't been around the boys long enough to know how stupid they were around girls, but I would soon find out. How stupid Jack was.
Wow, I didn't think I would ever write more to this one, but thanks to you, I guess I will.
LegallyRed- Thanks for reviewing, it means a lot when you, in particular, do. I hope you don't mind me putting you in my story. And I like your red hair...just for the record.
LadyRach- Wow, both my writing idles reviewed my story this time. I feel so special. Thank you for reviewing and making me feel special. They do need to work on their names. It was fun coming up with the names though.
TheAngeryPrincess13- You must be my most faithful reviewer, and for this you and...my little brother. (You can have him if you want) lol. Thank you for reviewing, you should get busy on some of your Newsie stories.
Wisecracker88- Yeah, I based the Bond-inaters off my friends and me. We are random like that also. It's been really hard for me to write about a quiet person, because I haven't been quiet a day in my life. I'm the loudest person ever.
