"So which one is he?" Lana asked Kate, trying to pick out her crush in the sea of uniforms on court.

Kate failed to suppress a small giggle, frowning at herself as she leaned in close to Lana and pointed out at the court. "Him - number 57. Nick Damato." Nick was one of the smaller guys on the team, coming in at only 5'6" but still taller than Kate's 5'4". He was very quick though, and he could sink both 3-pointers and lay-ups with ease, as long as no big guys were in the way. Short, wavy black hair and a big-cheeked grin dominated his looks.

"So what do you think?" she whispers to him, "about me being a cheerleader I mean? And why did you Set Lana up with Luke, I am sure you heard what happened."

"Cheerleaders are hot, Stace," Chris replied with a smile and a squeeze of her shoulder. "I can't believe it took them so long to ask you, 'cuz you're the hottest!" His blue eyes twinkled as he looked at her, and then he turned back to the game.

"Anyway, what? Lana? You said she wanted a date."

Then, Lorenzo looked around the crowd for someone to hang with or for someone who looked troubled that he could help out.

There was Stacy DuPries and Chris Hart over to the side not so far away, by Becca's sister. Stacy and Chris were sucked up pretty tight together, watching the game and talking to each other in low voices.

Behind them a ways was Vincent Tran, a lanky junior with a sullen look on his face as he watched the teams play. His chin rested in his hands, elbows propped up on his knees as he almost appeared to be looking straight through the court and off into somewhere else.

Luke Waverly was up and off to the other side, and clearly looking a bit pissed in between bouts of laughter with his friends. He kept gesturing over towards...

...Lana DuPries and Kate Figaro were leaning close together and whispering with an occasional giggle. Besides that their expressions ranged back and forth from wistful to forlorn.

The girl stopped short, her jaw dropping again as eyes like melted chocolate bulged, only half visible behind the web of raven-colored hair. Her expression quickly hardened into indignation. "You're one of them, aren't you?" she asked rhetorically. "Oh no you don't!" she warned, striding up to him with a low, dangerous tone to her voice.

"You leave my daddy alone!" the lanky girl practically screeched, swatting at Joshua's chest and arms with her book and pounding with the other fist. Arms flailed around like bony whips. "We don't have any money! <some unintelligble words - probably another language> Go away!"

As soon as it was over, he strode quickly from the room. In a few minutes he was off the school property and on his way to the local public library. Easiest way to drown his sorrows and anger was to find himself nose-deep in some book or another.

There's a public library about five blocks from Macario's home. It's pretty small compared to those elsewhere in the city, but they've still got plenty of stuff, and even some computers with 'net access.

How long is Macario going to stay there, and where is he going to go afterwards? Anything in particular he wants to read or look up?

Joshua, impressed by this girl's courage, kindly grabs her wrists to make her look in his eyes.
"Listen to me. If I go away now, they'll send someone else, someone even I wouldn't like to meet."
He shivers thinking about what Rodney, or someone like him, could do to the girl.
"Let me speak with your father, and we'll solve this situation in the better way, will'ya?"

Lorenzo leaned over to the guy sitting next to him and said with a smile, “Hey, man, you hold this seat for me – I’ll be back in few.”

Lorenzo made his way through to Stacy, Chris, and Julie for a few kind words, “Hey, Julie, it’s good to see ya, how’s it going?” Lorenzo leaned close to Julie and said in a false whisper and a wink at Stacy and Chris, “Tell the love birds I said hi – I don’t want to interrupt anything”

Lorenzo will then work to Vincent and have a seat next to him. “Vin, buddy, what’s up? You looking through the court into the basement again? Seriously, anything I can help with, bud?”

Jon, seeing that everyone he knows is busy with other people 'typical.. hmff' turns around to leave... 'maybe I'll check out the Fight scene, see if anythings going down tonight.'

"Cheerleaders are hot, Stace," Chris replied with a smile and a squeeze of her shoulder. "I can't believe it took them so long to ask you, 'cuz you're the hottest!" His blue eyes twinkled as he looked at her, and then he turned back to the game.

"Anyway, what? Lana? You said she wanted a date."

Stacy blushed in pleasure when Chris told her how she was the hottest girl in the school. I am so lucky to have him, he always knows just what to say to make me blush

She leaps up out of her seat cheering when the school team scored a three almost from half-court. "WAY TO GO, KEEP IT UP GUYS." she shouted waving her arms in the air before sitting again.

"Well, uh, Lana never said she wanted a boyfriend Chris. I just thought that if she found someone as great as you she would be as happy with him as I am with you. But didn't you hear he hit a girl last week?" she says giving him a kiss.

She waves at Lorenzo as he is leaving.

Macario loved the library. The quiet, the solitude, the musty smell of old pages. The weight of a good book in his hand. The only place he could just ignore everything. The few things he really enjoyed were reading and drawing, and the library allowed him to do either unmolested.

Today he picked out a large unwieldy tome, The Big Book of Herpetology. Dinosaurs had been his last big thing, but now he had moved onto lizards and their ilk.

He read until one of the librarians (who all knew him by name) told him the place was closing, and then he headed home. He looked forward to a night of lying in his bed and filling another sketchbook with weird drawings of the things that lived in his head.

Linh will give a shout for "HEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLPPPPPPP!!!" as loud as she can given her injured ribs. She attempted to wiggle out from beneath the rubble on her legs.

Lana sighed as she watched the game. Players going back and forth, cheerleaders bouncing up and down in little skirts. Her sister practically on Chris' lap. Lorenzo talking to all his friends and looking at Becca do her high kicks.

Stretching out lengthy jean-clad legs onto the bleachers in front of her, she propped her elbows on the seat behind her, trying to find a comfortable position on the hard bleachers. Her jeans rode low on her hips, her black shirt rising to expose the sparkling silver belly button stud.

As the game progressed, her mind drifted off to her two favorite physical pastimes, skating and boarding. All she could think of sitting on the benches was how great they were to pull off a couple of grinds.

"Hey lets do some skating during half-time," Lana suggested to Kate even if her friend seemed to be completely engrossed in player #57. " Or we could hit the mall with Mike after hours...doesn't he work there now? Think he can sneak us in?"
