Thanks to all the people that have reviewed! The mission breifing is coming up soon, in a few more chapters. (:
Even though she knew exactly who they were, she wasn't meant to, "Callum and Connor?" Sammie asked.
"They're these identical twins who have bets of who have bets against each other of who can get girls to go out with them first. They'll make fools of themselves with someone like you. They do enough just with Gabrielle. Oh my gosh, Gabrielle. I was meant to meet her." Kerry stuck her head out into the corridor and called out to Gabrielle.
"Someone like me?" Sammie asked when Kerry got back.
"Yeah," Kerry answered, "You're really pretty"
Now it was Sammie who was laughing, "Me, pretty? Yeah, right" She returned to fixing her hair as Gabrielle walked in. Kerry was telling her about how Callum and Connor would leave her alone for a while now the new girl had arrived.
When Sammie was satisfied with her hair, she stepped out of the bathroom to see Gabrielle and Kerry sitting on her bed, talking.
"You must be Gabrielle. Hi, I'm Sammie"
Gabrielle looked up, "Hi Sammi-. Oh. My. God. Is that a? A.. GOLD shirt?"
Kerry stood up proudly next to Sammie, "Yep. Like I said, Connor and Callum"
Gabrielle burst out laughing, "You're right. Let's go to dinner"
"I'm just glad they'll be off my back. It's cute for like, 5 minutes and then it's just annoying."
There was no one out in the hallways, everyone was already at dinner.
James, Bruce, Callum, Connor and Kyle were sitting at their table trying to figure out where the Gabrielle and Kerry were when Bruce said, "New recruit, five o'clock"
The boys all looked up and saw three girls walk in. Kerry and Gabrielle were on either side of the new girl, who was very fit.
Everyone except Kyle was too busy looking at her 'fitness' to realise the shirt she was wearing, "Oh my god." He said.
"Kyle stick to your guys, leave this to us" Bruce said.
Kyle ignored that comment and said, "Look at the colour of her shirt. She's a gold!"
The boys all noticed this at the same time. Callum and Connor both spoke at the same time, "DIBS!" and then started bickering about who said it first.
"Well, since James has Kerry and she's not going to go for either of those two," Bruce said pointing at the twins, "I guess she's mine"
"Whatever," James knew he would get in trouble if Kerry found out he was talking about the new girl like that. He was definitely pissed off that he couldn't go for her.
"Why don't you just see if she likes you first? Before you start a war over it" Kyle suggested. They seemed okay over this but Callum and Connor had started making bets.
"10" Connor bet.
"Are you kidding? 20!" Callum said.
"25"
"30 pounds it is." They both said and shook hands.
While this argument had been taken place, the whole room had exploded in talk about the gold shirt. Once the girls had got their trays of food, the turned around to see 250 faces watching their every move. It was silent when a guy up the back called out, "You can come sit with us, there's space back here"
That started everyone, they all cleared a space at their tables for the gold shirted girl.
The girls ignored everyone's shouts and Sammie followed Gabrielle and Kerry to the table where all the boys were. Callum and Connor high-fived each other under the table. Sammie saw and she held back a laugh.
"Hey guys, this is Sammie. She's new" Gabrielle said in a voice that hid her laughter very well, "Sammie this is Kyle, Bruce, Connor, Callum and James." She pointed to each one.
"Nice to meet you all, is it alright if I sit here?" Sammie asked, directing the question towards Callum and Connor.
"Yes. You can sit here." One of them said.
"No this seat is more comfortable" The other said.
"It alright, I'll sit next to Bruce"
The twins looked really upset and Sammie thought she saw one of them give Bruce the ups, but she couldn't be sure. Kerry sat next to James and Gabrielle sat next to Sammie. No one really knew what to say next, everyone in the cafeteria was watching them.
"So, Sammie when did you arrive at CHERUB?" Kyle asked.
"This morning," Sammie said. The girls had told her to only answer questions they asked her briefly and not try to make conversation. The girls were all getting a kick out of watching the boys squirm. James was the only one that seemed ok, probably just because Kerry was there.
"Even though Gabrielle already introduced us, I'm James. James Adams." James said.
The other boys all chimed in, telling Sammie their full names but Sammie had something planned for James already. "Oh. I know all about you James Robert Choke," she said.
"How did you find out my proper name?" James looked puzzled but not worried, "What's your proper name anyway?"
"Oh, how very rude of me. I'm Samantha," Sammie said as she held out her hand and smiled, "Samantha Jennings"
James froze. Kyle spat out his mouthful of spaghetti and burst out laughing. Everyone else at the table and the rest of the cafeteria looked confused.
James shook her hand, "He-hello Samantha"
Kyle burst into another fit of laughter and this time Sammie couldn't help but to join in. When Bruce saw this, he joined Sammie, Connor and Callum joined him.
Sammie stopped laughing and looked at the three boys. They all stopped and looked back at her, hoping she liked them agreeing with her.
"Did I say something funny?" She asked. The boys all shook their heads and went bright red. Kerry and Gabrielle started laughing, as well as a few people from the tables around them.
Sammie looked at Kyle and spoke in an over-exaggerated tone that indicated she was hurt, "Do you know why James is so scared of me? I don't seem to understand"
Kyle managed to control his laughter to ask Sammie, "Did you know her?" James was sitting there, his mouthing wide open.
He turned to the others, "Samantha Jennings is the girl who games bashed up before he came to his children's home. Bruce, remember those guys we beat up in the playground when we got Lauren, those were here brothers."
James had recovered from his shock enough to defend himself, "I didn't bash her up. It was an accident!"
Sammie spoke again, "Yeah. I know her. I went to her school and asked her about the scar and she told me all about you." She pointed at James.
Kyle burst out laughing when he saw James' face. What Sammie said wasn't true, but she arranged a background story with Mac that she went to the same school as James had.
James was starting to get angry. He remembered all the things Samantha Jennings had called his mum and spoke, "Samantha Jennings used to call my mum all sorts of awful things." He stood up and looked down on Sammie. His tone suggested that they shouldn't continue with the joke. He looked like he was about to strangle Sammie. Bruce noticed this and he didn't like it one bit.
He stood up to face James, "You lay one finger on her. I dare you." The whole cafeteria had stopped talking to stare at the boys.
"James, apologize. It was just a joke. You've got such a short fuse." Kerry said to him as he sat down. Bruce did the same.
"Sorry," he grumbled.
"No, James, it's ok. I'm sorry. Samantha Jennings is a heartless bitch." Sammie felt terrible, she knew what James had been through, from the books, "Double take. I'm Sammie Jennings."
Kerry gave James a look and James shook her hand and said, "James Adams," before continuing his meal.
Everyone in the cafeteria eventually returned to their conversations. Connor and Callum were jealous of Bruce and kept looking at him with daggers in their eyes, but they both knew that neither of them would be able to take James. They had the sense to stay quiet after that.
The atmosphere at the table was tense and after 8 minutes of silence Gabrielle spoke, "Ok, this is annoying. I'm going to the bathroom and when I'm back you guys had better be in the mood for socialising or I'm going to sit with Lauren."
Kerry stood up, "I'll come with you."
Gabrielle smiled, but then realised that Sammie hadn't picked up on it, "I'm going to the bathroom," she repeated staring at Sammie. Sammie looked up; she had been watching the rest of the group and seeing how they reacted to James' outburst.
"Oh, I'll come with you too," Sammie said, realising she had just forgotten one of the main rules of girl code.
Kerry spoke before they left, "We'll be back soon," she was looking directly at James.
Sorry, this chapter is long but I couldn't find any place to stop it.
