Christofer leisurely walked beside Ronnie, trying to avoid the uncomfortable moments when his hand brushes against the side of her hip. He felt her eyes on him like the sun, warm on his face. Smiles pulled at the corners of his mouth as he turned to look over at her. "What?" He chuckled, nudging her gently.
Veronica looked back down at the ground, kicking a pebble further down the sidewalk. "I heard there's gonna be some new student today, twenty bucks says they're really weird." She was probably right, but she wasn't even sure if this student was male or female. She just wanted to get to class, get the day over and done with then go home and play videogames or something else mind numbing.
"I dunno, what says you won't get along with this student?" he asked even though he had already dug out a twenty dollar bill from his pocket, making sure he had money for this bet. It'd fall through on Ronnie's part anyways. The day she has money on her person will be a wondrous day. He wouldn't have to pay for her lunch.
Gym wasn't exactly Veronica's description of a good start to her day, but it kept her in shape for the most part and woke her up in the morning. She huffed unhappily and tugged at the cuff of her gym shorts while her teacher barked at the group of girls assembled about the gymnasium.
And there stood the new student. She wore glasses, red lipstick and mousy brown hair. A knit cardigan was draped over her gym clothes, like they weren't to do any sort of physical activity, but just stand around looking ultra hip like her. She was fairly short, no more than 5'2 from a guess, and had the looks of someone much older than sixteen. She could pass for early twenties, if she wasn't so small, or standing here in the gymnasium.
"Ladies, this is Elizabeth Kirk," She nodded over to the new student. "Now I'm not going to stand here and talk for her while we could be playing rugby out there. So go!" The coach blew her whistle to end her sentence and pointed over to the storage room, acknowledging they were to grab what gear was required and head out into the muddy field.
ok so this is awful too, but i wanted to get something out there for everyone who wanted to see more. i've been having a bit of writer's block with this, but things should start to happen!
