"Welcome to…the vastness of Greenly High," said Kyle, taking in Caedy's astonished look. It was big. HUGE, GINORMOUS, MONUMENTAL….
Newsies: Hey, GET ON WITH IT!
Tim the Enchanter: Yeah, get on with it.
God: Yes, GET ON WITH IT! (AN1)
So okay, the school was quite large, Caedy's school back in Texas was big, 5A, tons of kids, but it didn't even come close to the size of GHS. Kyle had to grab Caedmon by the arm to bring her back to reality. He dragged her to a group of kids about her age. 3 guys and a girl. They were all speaking animatedly, pausing to say hey to Kyle and then continued their discussion. The girl was arguing heatedly with the others about Rent and AIDS or something. Cadey wasnt too sure.
"We are aware, Hollywood. Geez give it a rest. So you guys this is my new stepsister, Caedmon Geiger. She just moved 3 days ago from Texas. Caedy, this is Trey Aston, Danielle Phillips, Tony Higgins, and Aaron Maxwell. I'm gonna go get your stuff," Kyle said, then walked towards the office.
"Hi... Wait, didn't you just call her Hollywood? I thought that was Danielle..."
"Yeah, we've got some nicknames for each other, don't worry…we'll get you one soon, sunshine. You'll be one of us in a jiffy," Aaron supplied, "And I'm otherwise known as Mush…origins: unknown."
"Yeah he's a bit of a dramatic. Ignore him," muttered Tony.
"But nothing compared to my Hollywood," offered Trey.
"Shut up Blink, I'm not that dramatic!" exclaimed Danielle/Hollywood.
"Blink?" muttered Caedy, still not following
"Nice to meet cha Caedy, I gotta jet. See you around!" said Tony, and he trotted off to some unknown destination.
"So, K, where you off to first?" asked Kyle handing Caedy her schedule and school ID. Blink and Hollywood (was it?) were otherwise preoccupied.
"Looks like Calculus. With Tibby? What the heck kinda name is that?"
"Oh you'll like him, nice guy. I had him for algebra II."
"You're in Calculus?" declared Trey, blink, whatever, obviously done with his smooch-fest with Danielle, "Are you like a super genius?"
"Not really…" ((RIIIING)) kids started to venture off towards the classrooms on either side of the Commons. "What way is A258?"
"3 wings dear, A B and C. It goes C then A then B…A wing to your left, C to your right," said Hollywood, with a smile, "Relax. Have fun. See you around, Caedy!"
Oh what fun this was going to be, She mused. Off trekking to some class, where I'm probably the only junior. AGAIN.
After several flights of stairs and a few wrong turns, Caedy finally arrived at Mr.Tibby's Calculus class. It looked as if first come first served was the rules in this class, so Caedy spotted a desk somewhat in the middle of the mass, next to the wall. She dumped her binder and purse onto the desk and sat down with a sigh and looked around. Most of the class was your average geeky looking kids, all of them senior looking. Well shit, I had hoped that someone here would be in my grade. Then, a boy with curly brown hair in a blue shirt sat in front of Caedy and turned to look at her with questioning blue eyes.
"Hi," said the new guy, after a few seconds of the staring game, offering a hand "I'm David."
"Hey, I'm Caedy. This class all seniors?"
"Nope, I'm the only exception. Looks like you are too," he replied, glancing at her ID.(2) "So where you from?"
"Texas. I just moved here a few days ago."
"Oh, know anyone here?"
"Well, my stepbrother, Kyle, and his friends…. a Trey, Hollywood, Somebody Higgins…wait, a Blink…. damnit. I forgot already."
"OH! So you're Miss Caedmon Geiger the volleyball ace?" Cadey winced. "Kyle told us about you. Don't worry, the names take a while to get used to," he said, mistaking the wince for an Oh-Why-Am-I-So-Stupid-I-Cant-Remember-Names wince.
"You know Kyle?"
"Yeah, Skittery? That's his nickname…we've know each other forever, like the rest of the gang. This class, it's a blow off…Tibbs is a nice guy. Just turn in some work and you get a hundred. Oh how I love the completion grades."
This might not be too bad. David seems like a nice guy. And not to mention he's a junior in calculus, too. Caedy's out look on the day just brightened a tad.
AN 1: HAH! i love this movie...definitely a must see... one, two, five...Um, three sire.. Oh, yes. Three.
2: Our IDs at school have like your picture and all and then your graduation year is a different color. Like Caedmon's would be green at my school.
