Carlos takes a sip of his iced tea and listens to Amy go on about West Nile. Virology has never been his...well...cup of tea. But she's cute, intelligent, friendly, and even conversational so he doesn't mind the break from his usual routine. He strains to remember some of the details from microbiology courses in medschool so he can keep up with her. That's when the sister walks in.

He's about to take Amy up on her offer when he sees the woman weaving through tables led by one of the busboys. He catches himself watching her and looks back to Amy, a little flushed. He stands a bit awkwardly as she approaches, smiling.

Carlos is dressed equally well (probably shops at the Galleria) in square-toed Gucci shoes, tailor-fitted khakis, and a brown turtleneck a little too small for him. Beneath the shirt, his thin but toned upper body stands out.

Old Man Johnson snorted. “Dey always been outta control, boy. Gangs are nothin’ but trouble, mind you. Dey’ll ruin the neighborhood before ya know it!” He stuffed the pizza into his mouth, chewing on it with great noisy enjoyment, while gesturing with his free hand. “You should know better’n that!”

“Jess!” Amy Nguyen called out with slight reprimand in her voice though it was definitely affectionate. “You’re late! Again.”

“Sorry, sis,” the younger one replied with a laugh. “You know how bad traffic gets when school lets out.” Stretching her hand out to Carlos she afforded him a generous smile. “I’m Jessica Nguyen, her little and obviously absent-minded sister.”

“The one that goes to law school up east,” Amy clarified, remembering belatedly that she had two rather irritating younger sisters. Turning her eye toward Ferris she asked him, “Can you get her some water? And get the waiter to come get her order?”

Carlos takes her hand, "Carlos Munguia, pleasure to meet you," he says, sitting back down, "A doctor and a lawyer? You must have quite a prodigous family. One stops bleeding, and the other's a bloodsucker."

He pauses.

"Just kidding," he chides, winking, "is T still coming?"

Michael Matthews picked up a fork as he spoke to his father. He'ld never been any good with chopsticks but, like his father, he loved the food. About to take another mouthful he stopped and glanced over at the high-school girls, smiling slightly and nodding to them before he turned back to continue talking to his father. "Yeah, that's been happening lately, it's kinda cool... when they the aren't always hasslin me or stuff." with that he swallowed some more rice, savouring the flavour and then continueing "That's why I like it around here, pop, people aint screamin or nuthin when they see me. I can actually do sumthin, like have a meal with the old man, y'know?" He smiled at his dad as he continued eating and glancing around at the people in the restaurant.

A light shone in his light blue eyes. “Why don’t we invite them over here?” Mr. Matthews teased his son. “I’m sure they’d love to meet the famous rapper from da hood? Eh?”

Gesturing with his hands tanned and weathered from many years of hard labor, the older Matthews winked at the high school girls, trying to get them to come over. “I want to bask in some of my son’s fame. Not like you come home often enough for me to do that. And they are pretty girls.”

At his father’s encouragement, three of them jumped up and rushed over to their table after digging into their backpacks for anything to write with and a spare notebook. A tall red-head, a brunette with bouncy curls and a pixie haired blonde all collapsed exhaustedly into the nearest spot closest to Mike.

“Are you….are you….Mike Mathers,” the blonde managed to squeal out without piercing any eardrums.

OOC: Jemal can you edit out your sig? thanks

“Oh no,” Jessica answered, slipping into a spare seat. “He’s not coming.” Flicking a stray hair out of place with only a slight glance to her right where a few teenage girls were squealing, she turned her attention back to Carlos. “Sis told me that you might know him. Did you grow up with him?”

Carlos looks genuinly disappointed when he hears T-Bull isn't coming. He had been hoping to catch up with his old friend and already had a mental list of questions to ask. He leans forward with his elbows on the table and holds his iced tea between his palms on the table. He gaze goes distant for a moment as he seems to consider how to answer,

"Ya we grew up together, " Carlos grins, remembering something, " back at Wheatley, he used to always be the big hero. There were bullies, who most of us feared, and then there was the T-BULL, who the bullies feared. Deep down, he's a big softy, but I'm sure you already know that."

Mike shakes his head slightly as his father waves the girls over, and whispers humourosly "Dirty Old man, you never gonna change, are ya?" He then looks up to smile at the girls as they approach. he winced a little at the last name - People were ALWAYS misspeaking his last name... Who did they think he was, Eminem? He only WISHED he was THAT rich + famous.
"It's Matthews, actually." He said with an easy attitude, covertly checking them out "Don't worry the records sometimes mislabel it, happens all the time." He stops smiling for a bare second as he feels something hit him under the table then glances at his dad.. "Oh, yeah.. Ladies, I'ld like you to meet the old man, this is Will Matthews, my dad." He gave a charming half-smile as he nodded at his dad, then looks at them expectantly, waiting for them to introduce themselves.

OOC: Are there any newspapers in sight? I was just looking at the chronicle you posted and saw a headline Mike wouldn't be able to resist.
Also for those of you who haven't clued in yet, This character is based LOOSELY on Eminem, but he's more me than he is Marshal. Just so I don't get any big em fans sayin stuff like "That's not how he'd act". cheers.

Will Matthews stuck out his hand but the girls were giggling and fawning over the younger man. Sighing his father, leaned back in the chair and watched the whole thing with an amused expression.

“Oooohhh, Mike, can we call you, Mike?” the pixie blonde breathed with wide brown eyes. “I think you are, like, so hot.” She blushed and then hid behind her notebook. “I’m Tootsie.”

“Oh yeah!” her friend with the curly brown hair agreed, shoving her own notebook and pencil in Mike’s face. “Can you please, oh please, oh please sign this for me? My friends will never believe it. I’m Sarah.”

“I listen to all your music and I know all the lyrics by heart,” the redhead added also shoving her notebook at him. “I’m Delilah. That’s D-E-L-I-L-A-H…”


OOC: OH GOD…oops on the Mathers thing! I’m laughing so hard…oh and Jemal…please edit your sig out of all the posts in the IC thread? I’m doing that so it’s easier to read. And everyone has access to newspapers.
