New Generation Legacy, Issue 1: Back to School

Emmet wasn't the only person to notice how Nick had turned the situation around, This guy is too smooth. Cody thinks, feeling defensive instantly with this new guy taking over the conversation with Jerry, Raph and Manjit. He definitely didn't like any of this 'we're a pair' talk.

Physically I can't compete, this new guy has the looks, muscles and an unhealthy dose of charm, hell I find him attractive. I don't like this guy but I guess everyone deserves a shot.

"The my name's Cody. Nice to meet you Nick." he bluffs with a sincere tone, "You and your group of friends are more than welcome to join ours when we head downtown. The more the merrier, right?"

"And just 'cause you're not the brightest in a group of people doesn't mean you're not intelligent. When it comes down to it, your actions will determine who and what you are more than anyone you're related to."


Cody wasn't sure if he was trying to make Nick feel better or if he was voicing the fact that he didn't care who the hell this new guy was related to but he tried to sound genuine nonetheless. He knew types like this guy, the kind who would brag in a seemingly humble way, though he probably wouldn't have cared much if there wasn't someone handsome involved. This was already getting way too complicated.

"Ah.. well I just got a clue to your abilities." Trilly says as she walks with the girls. She looks to Stacy. "Relax there Beach Bunny.. you're still better outfitted than me. Hey, don't knock the buffet.. tis the height of southern sunday after church culture." Trilly says to Josee with a grin to show she's hamming it up.

"Huh?" Clover asks, having missed the jolt that travelled from her roommate to Trilly. "What power would that be?" the red head asks curiously. "I'm the whole weather thing. Like that Yankee girl Rain Dance or whatever her name is, though I don't know how powerful or anything like that."

"Trilly's right, I think the buffet is absolutely ace. They have burgers and chips, pizza, even chinese food. If this is what there is to eat, I may end up gaining weight here, but if I do, it'll be happily." Clover says, pointing at the soft-serve ice cream machine. She takes up a bowl and fills it with a salad, and tops it with slices of apricot and raisons. After she puts the salad on her tray she adds a plate of chips and a burger, and then adds a pair of glasses of milk. Once her tray was fully loaded she leads the other girls over to a table close to Jerry's table.

"That's the truth," Jerry agreed a hair more firmly than was strictly necessary for a completely innocuous statement.

“Yeah I see your point Cody, just saying that I am used to being the butt of stupid jokes… its cool. I am not going to go into some ‘roid fueled rage and pound you guys; not on the first day at least,” he grins jokingly. “Thanks though, we will hook up with you guys to go downtown then; got a specific time in mind?” Nick glances at the girls that just entered the Cafeteria his smile withers slightly as he sees the Ice Queen but a semblance of a smile remains.

"Ugh, did I shock you? I am sorry," Josee says. "I go through more electronics, I swear..." She looks over the choice of food and shrugs. "I am just used to...a different setup."
 

Cody smiles at Jerry's comment, unsure himself of what to make of it.

"I figure we'd give everyone time to change out of our day clothes so we can blend in better with the natives...I mean, as much as a group of racially diverse kids can 'blend in'. At least we'd be more comfortable." Cody says, following Nick's own diminishing smile to the girls who just came in, to the one who seems to recognize Jerry. He knew Raph would not approve of the plan he was forming, were she an experienced shoulder angel.

"Are they also friends of yours, Jerry?" the teen asks quietly, "We're already forming a big group to go out on the town, do you think maybe we should invite them?

"That's Cloves," Jerry gestured towards her. "Seems like a good one to have around, and I wouldn't want to cross her. She fights with swords. I don't know the other two, but the last was a bit full of herself when we met earlier. Don't think I was rich enough for her."

I'm pretty sure the group is Clover, Trilly, Josee, and Stacy. If I'm missing somebody, toss up another one Jerry doesn't know. :)

Josee sighs. She obviously is not a fan of the whole elite thing. "I am like a human battery, I guess. There is electricity in me, and it very much wants out."

"Trilly's right, I think the buffet is absolutely ace. They have burgers and chips, pizza, even chinese food.

After she puts the salad on her tray she adds a plate of chips and a burger, and then adds a pair of glasses of milk. Once her tray was fully loaded she leads the other girls over to a table close to Jerry's table.

"I will not have this problem," Josee adds wryly. She picks out a few fresh looking items. Stacy sticks to a burger and pasta salad.

As they sit down, Josee notices Jerry. "Hmmm, that is the one that helped me earlier," she says, nodding in his direction. "I don't think he likes me, maybe something I said."
 

"The way I see it is everyone makes mistakes, it wouldn't be right not to accept an apology from someone who seems to be sincere." He says with a shrug, "besides it couldn't have been easy to swallow your pride and come over to say your sorry again." He adds with a smile.

Layla thinks a moment, her head tilted, but looking away from John. She already learned that if she stared at others while thinking they misconstrued what was going on. She looks back at him. "I've misjudged you, you are a good person, John. Some of us are going to check out the city later, you should come along."
