The girls sat down with Sam and Nicole and seemed friendly but with an agenda.
"Hi Sam." Said Shelby.
"Hi girls, this is Nicole." Sam replied.
"Hi." said Nicole.
"Shelby, I thought you didn't get into Princeton."
"Yeah true, but my father always comes through on these things. He wouldn't let his daughter stay in the Valley for the rest of her life."
"Well that's good for you."
It was very awkward at first although after a while, they all were getting along pretty good. A little too good, with the exception of the tense moments between Samantha and Shelby.

Austin and Paul were still with the guys playing football. Soon enough they were all tired and in need of a break. They were playing for over an hour.
"That was fun, you two should come play again sometime." Said David, the guy who asked them to play.
"Yeah, definitely." Said Austin.
They were both walking away from the rest of the guys.
"How do you know how to play like that?" Asked Paul with a puzzled look on his face.
"High school." He said.
As they were walking towards the girls, he noticed they made new friends as well.
"Hey girls." Austin and Paul said at the same time.
"Hey, Austin." Said Sam and Nicole as the other girls were looking at him up and down.
"Hey sexy." Said Lee-Anna, the girl that came to see Nicole and Sam before the rest of the girls came along.
Austin just smiled and looked at Sam making sure he knew he noticed her. Although he wouldn't admit it out loud, he thought those girls were very beautiful but he loved Sam and he would for sure let her know that when they got a chance to be alone. He noticed though that Sam seemed a little awkward. All of a sudden, Shelby turned her back away from Austin.
"Hi Austin, I bet you didn't expect to see me here." She said with a big smile on her face.
Austin stood there shocked to see her there.
"No, I didn't expect that at all."
"Come on, give me a hug." She said as she got up and hugged him.
He gave her a hug but made eye contact with Sam. They gave each other a look, like 'what is going on'.
They all sat there and the other guys that played football eventually came around. There was nearly 15 people around the tree by that time. It didn't take them that long to make friends.
