My New Friends

So you have sort of heard about my new friends...but if you knew how I met these people, you would be very surprised that I managed to become friends with some of these people.

The Guys

Chris: He moved into my neighborhood when I was six, we went down to meet him but we really only said hi and stuff. Then we didn't see each other for several months and he had completely forgotten all about me by that time so when I said "hi" he asked me who I was.

Frank: The first time I saw Frank he walked into my biology classroom, but I never really noticed him until gym a few days later when I was sitting out with Jen and another girl. Jen asked me if I thought he was cute, I said he was, and she told me to go sleep with him in the locker room. The first time I really talked to him though was in November though, we were both doing track and since he was "seeing" my friend (at the time) Brie we ended up talking after track for a few minutes.

George: I hadn't seen him until Nate invited me to go to see a movie with Cael, George, Kay and Wren. I met George when I got to the theater and thought he was crazy, especially when we were in the theater and he got up in front of everybody and asked who was a leo (besides me and him). Nobody answered him but it sure was funny. I didn't really see him for months...not until study hall, we didn't talk for most of it but he did once accuse me of staring at him...although he said that I was staring at him like I was going to kill him.

Aaron: Originally he was supposed to be in my math class last year but he was only there for one day and that one day we had a sub. I never thought I would see him again, then I found out he was in my gym class and our first meeting there was when I tripped on the sidewalk and he laughed at me (along with Frank and Salad and some of the other guys.)

Will: I had heard all about him from Cael, how annoying he was, how he "molested girls" and all that stuff and the first time I met him I was 11 and he jumped out and surprised Cael. Nevermind me, I didn't really exist...until I was 13 and I was switched into his science class...and ended up sitting with him, Chris and another girl.

Salad: The first time I met Salad I was playing soccer, we were on opposite teams and at one point we were both trying to get the soccer ball, since we were both sort of evenly matched, it took awhile. The next game we went up against each other once again and this time when I got the ball it was obvious that he was sort of annoyed.

Laquan: The first time we ever really met, I was out with Cael, his sister, his sister's best friend and his grandmother who took us to get a hot dog, I saw Laquan, knew he was from our school and waved...despite the fact that I didn't actually know him. I saw him a few days later at school with Kate and Angie, he asked if Cael and I were siblings, I told him we were cousins and I didn't see him again...until gym this year.

The Girls

Angie: The first time we met, we were 13 and celebrating Halloween at Cael's house with our enemies. We hit it off instantly but didn't get a chance to talk much after that, but we did say hi whenever we saw each other.

Kate: We met in 7th grade, I sat at a table with one of her friends during English class when we had to read this play, and then Kate came and Cael came. The four of us spent the whole class laughing and started doing that whenever we got to be in groups.

Chloe: Chloe had been in my elementary school but our paths had never crossed. We met during lunch in middle school when somebody at her table threw something and it hit me, she apologized and I didn't see her again until this year when we found out we had several of the same classes together.

Lara: We met in elementary school...believe it or not...I can't really remember how we met...I think I was about 8 or 9 years old maybe...I don't really remember that far back, all I know is we didn't hit it off that quickly, and we didn't talk for years because we never saw each other. (we only recently started talking again this year)

Kay: I met her in elementary school too, she was in my girl scout troop, she was quiet around me and I was sort of quiet around her.

Wren: The first time we met it was because of Cael and Nate. Last year they came up with this Hallway tag thing and both of us were playing, at one point the four of us just stood in a circle and tagged each other. After that I saw her a few times talking to other people.
