"Who is she?" Racetrack demanded, staring at the pretty blonde who sat by herself but received attention from all. Boomerang shrugged.
"She's some new girl," she said, offhandedly.
"She's in my history class. Her name's Selina Black, and she seems to fit in well," Kid Blink said, gazing at her with admiration. Boomerang scowled at her star-struck boyfriend.
"Once you've put your eyes back in your sockets, you'll notice Snitch," she snapped, grumpily.
"Who is she?" Race repeated. Snitch was waltzing over, accompanied by a pretty looking girl with dark red hair, and piercing blue eyes. She was wearing punk attire, but she wasn't all-out punk, like some spike-haired stereotypes in the high school. She was chatting cheerfully with Snitch; apparently, she liked him well enough.
"Guys, this is Two-Bits! She's from the Bronx!" Snitch gushed. Boomerang rolled her eyes.
"Snitchy, you are such a damn flamer," she commented. The others nodded in agreement.
"Where you from, again?" Racetrack asked. Two-Bits fell silent, and didn't answer.
"She doesn't talk much," Snitch offered, shrugging at his confused mates.
"She talks to you!" Kid Blink whined.
"She likes gay guys."
There was a round of chuckles at that. "So, where's she from again?" Racetrack asked, directing the question to Snitch.
"The Bronx. She just moved last week!" Snitch chirped, sitting down with his friends. Boomerang looked at the new girl, then at Kid Blink, but Kid Blink didn't seem to be taking an interest in her, so Boomerang decided that this girl could live.
"Two-Bits, eh? Why do they call you that?" Mush asked, chugging his chocolate milk. Yes, chocolate milk. She glanced over at Snitch, then whispered in his ear.
"She plays baseball." Kid Blink nodded, approvingly. He was a huge Yankees fan. "She's the pitcher, but she ends up stealing bases, too."
"So, why do they call her Two-Bits?" Race asked, tilting back in his chair.
"Because she's always Two-Bits off!" Snitch giggled. There was a pause and a unanimous eye roll over Snitch's girly-ness.
"Well, don't just stand there. Sit down," Racetrack said, impatiently, motioning to the empty seat next to Snitch. Two-Bits shrugged and sat down, looking around. The others continued chatting about Selina as Two-Bits's eyes wandered, taking in the cafeteria.
"I dunno, guys," Boomerang was saying. "She looks…different. There's something weird about her." Two-Bits turned her attention to Boomer, who was studying Selina.
"Aw, you're just jealous 'cause Blink was ogling her," Race said, good-naturedly.
Boomer didn't reply, but kept staring at the new girl. She couldn't help but notice something odd about her. She just couldn't put her finger on it.
