Chapter 2
Sofia poked at her lunch on the trey. The food was good as usual, but the silence in the almost empty cafeteria was killing her. She was the only one at her usually packed table since most of her friends already left for the summer. Nori was staying at Xavier's but had to work the summer and was already at the coffee shop. Sofia was going to be spending many hours alone. Her eyes drifted across the cafeteria taking in all the students who were there. Most of the tables had at least two people, but there was one other that only had one occupant. Kevin sat alone at a table farthest away from the others. Sofia couldn't think of the last time she had really talked to Kevin since he switched to the Hellions, so she grabbed her tray and headed over to where he was sitting. "Mind if I sit with you?" She asked when she reached the table. He shrugged, not saying yes or no, so she sat down opposite him. "This silence is disturbing. It doesn't seem like summer break."
"To them it isn't." Kevin took a bite of food and swallowed before speaking again. "Their either here for the new semester, to work, or have no where else to go. No matter what the reason is spending you summer at school ain't the idea of a vacation."
"Dani's trying to make it fun for those who are staying." Sofia noticed she lost Kevin's attention at the mention of Dani. "I'm helping her. I may be the only one." An idea came to her. "Hey, do you have anything planned this summer?"
"No…" The fifteen-year-old said carefully knowing where this was heading.
"Why don't you volunteer to help too? Working together might help the summer go faster."
Kevin shook his head. "No…thanks. I'll just stick with my art."
Sofia wasn't going to give up. "Oh come on. You can do your art anything. Helping us will only take a few hours a day…We have field trips planned, so we wont always be at school."
"Not interested."
"Sofia!" Josh Foley's voice yelled across the cafeteria and Sofia turned to look at him wondering why he was yelling when it was obvious he could see her. Deciding to play along she waved her arm excitedly and yelled back at him. "Over here, Josh!" She turned back to Kevin. "You don't…" The other teen was gone. Her brown eyes once again scanned the cafeteria this time looking for a certain face, as Josh sat down, until she spotted Kevin leaving. Sofia silently vowed that she would do whatever she had to, to get Kevin Ford to hang out with her this summer. br>
