It was getting close to lunch time and they all were getting pretty hungry. Luckily, that they the University was giving free lunches. They were having this huge barbecue. They went and grabbed some food and went and sat by a tree where there wasn't so much people. The lawn was crowded with people.

All four of them were eating their lunch while getting to know each other. All of a sudden a football comes landing in the middle of them almost spilling Nicole and Sam's drink. All four looked up to see a guy running to them saying sorry very often.

"It's alright, man." Said Paul.

They all shrugged it off. As the guy was leaving he suddenly turned around.

"Hey, do you guys play football?"

Austin hesitated to say yes since all he could remember was his dad pushing him to do that as a career. He figured that this could be a good way to meet new people though. It wasn't like them to not meet people right away.

"I do." Said Austin.

"I don't" Said Paul.

"Come on, it's easy. We'll show you." Said the other guy. He was quite nice.

"Yeah come on, how else are we going to meet some other people." Said Austin, pulling on Paul's arm trying to get him to stand up and go play some football with the rest of them.

"Alright." Paul said.

So as the guys were leaving to meet the other guys, the girls sat there leaning against the tree and getting to know each other better.

"So, are you from here, Nicole?"

"No, I come from California."

"Oh I really want to go there someday."

"Well maybe during spring break we can take a road trip and we can stay at my parent's beach house."

"That would be awesome." Sam said with lots of joy.

So the girls kept talking about where they were from and what they like to do. They had much more in common then they thought.

About a half hour later, a group of girls came towards them.

"Hey girls." Said one of the girls. She was very tall with long blond curly hair. She was very pretty. You can tell she would be a prom queen type of girl.

"Hi."

"My friend over there was telling me you two know each other." The girl said pointing towards the left.

All of a sudden, there was Shelby Cummings.

Samantha's heart dropped at that moment.

"So, do you know her?" The girl asked.

"No, I don't know her." Said Nicole.

"I do." Sam said in a disappointing tone of voice.

"Well why don't you two join us?" The girl asked.

"Okay, sure." Said Nicole. She was starting to get up when Sam grabbed her hand and pulled her back down.

"Maybe some other time. We're busy here and we're waiting for some people."

"Well then we'll come join you." The girl said and quickly got away before Sam could say another word.

"Why did you say that?" Nicole asked.

"She's a girl that used to date Austin. She really doesn't like me and I really don't like her."

The two of them just sat there watching the other girls grab their stuff and come towards them. Sam looked at Austin quickly and he was still playing football and wasn't aware of anything else going on around them.
