The New Kid

By Word Life 3:16

"OK everyone quiet" ordered Mr Lancer as he tried to take control of his class "We have a new student joining us today" and at that moment he came through the door.

He had short wavy brown hair, grey pants, a whie shirt and a black vest on

"Everyone, this is Nick Geyser and he coming to us from Sydney, Australia so all of you say hello"

"G'DAY NICK!" the entire class said, quickly followed by laughter

"Oh yeah that's real funny" said Nick with a sarcastic tone in his voice as Mr Lancer directed him to his seat at the near back of the class

The only people who didn't go through with the joke was Danny, Sam and Tucker

"So what do you think of the new kid" asked Danny at there lockers after the lesson had ended

"I don't know he looks kind of cool" replied Sam "...why thank you"

They looked behind them and realized that Nick had the locker next to them "Please to meet you" he said as he extended his hand out which Danny accepted "I'm Danny and these are my friends Sam and Tucker"

Nick shook both their hands as well "So what's it like down under?" asked Tucker

"It's alright except you always have tourists saying G'DAY or CRIKEY at you thinking that we all like Steve Irwin, I swear to god if I hear one more person say it i'll punch them in face" said Nick just realizing the shocked looks on the guys faces

"I was kidding...a little" said Nick as they all bursted out laughing

"Say you want eat with us at lunch today?" asked Sam.

"Sure, that would be cool" said Nick smiling.

------------------------------------------------------

Nick carried his lunch tray over Danny, Tucker and Sam's table and then sat down next to Danny and starting poking the substance that claimed to be food on his tray with his fork "Is this stuff edible"Nick asked.

"Know one actually knows for sure" said Tucker which brought laughter to the group, just then Danny stopped laughing "oh no"

"What?" said Nick, the next thing he knew his tray was upside down on the floor near the feet of a smiling Dash and Kwan

"Oh sorry, I guess I should watch where I'm going" said Dash as he and Kwan started laughing as they headed to the popular table

"Nick I'm sorry, want some of mine" said Danny extended his tray over to him

"Nah that's cool I brought a lunch from home incase of emergency" he said and placed a brown paper bag on the table he opened it up and got out a glad-wrapped sandwich and took a bite out of it

"MMMM..Vegemite" said Nick "want some" he asked

"I'll pass" said Sam which made Danny giggle for some reason

"So what are you two like dating or something" he asked which led to Danny and Sam to blush like mad

"We not dating..." splurted out Danny "we're just really good friends"

"Oh right I get it just friends" Nick said sarcastically

"No it's true" said Sam still blushing

This conversation went on for ten more minutes when they suddenly heard a beeping

"Oh sorry" Nick said as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a very fancy fliptop phone

"Hello (pause) Oh Hi Megan (pause) Nah It's great I've even met a few new friends (pause) Yeah I miss you too bade, see ya when you get up here" he then hanged up the phone and put it back in his pocket

"Who was that"asked Danny with a smug look on his face

"That was Megan, my girlfriend she's coming up here next week to live with me" explained Nick

"Your parents allowed that" said Sam slightly shocked

"My parents are back in Sydney, I live by myself" said Nick, now all three of them were shocked

"But what about money" asked Danny

"My parents own a huge hotel chain in Australia and we're pretty loaded so they give me money each month to live on" Nick explained

"So why are you here anyway?" asked Tucker

"Well you see I signed up to that study in America thing and going to be here till graduation" Nick said

------------------------------------------------------

The rest of the day was pretty quiet even Dash hadn't picked on Danny (maybe because the football team was playing at another school)

The 4 of them were finishing up school for the day and were heading out the main entrance

"Say you guys want to come and hang at my place" Nick asked

"Well we usally go over and hang at Danny's place after school" said Tucker

"Are you sure I mean I just got an XBox 360 and I want to give it a good test run on the wide screen TV" said Nick

"XBox 360" said Danny

"Wide Screen TV" said Tucker

"Oh Boy" said Sam as Danny and Tucker started racing dowing the footpath

"GUYS YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE MY PLACE IS" Yelled Nick as he and Sam tried to catch
