Lorenzo Reynolds HP 2/2

Student Parking Lot

Kyle slips over the parking lot, trying to get Zo and Jennifer's attention as they pull out. "Hey guys.. don't suppose the school goof can hitch a ride?"

"Hey, Kyle, what's up, man?" Lorenzo said, then looked around to make certain he wasn't drawing too much attention to them.

Lorenzo looked to Jennifer for approval before saying anything, shrugging his shoulders to say that he didn't care.

Kyle smiles sheepishly. "Think coach caught onto my impromptu edit of his impeding film expose of the team's slaughter this weekend. So, I figured that I'd..well edit it. I got a strong hint that it was time for me to leave..never thought coach would tell me to bail." shurgs. "But he did.. hiya.. Jenn.." trails off sheepishly smiling.

Andrew Ward, HP:2

"Mr. Ward, come to try and smooth things over this morning? Looks like you won't have to worry about that too much. Actually I am going to have to cancel practice tonight after all of this mess." He gestured back at the med scan equipment. "Soon as I'm done with head count I have to explain this thing to the kids. Hey, isn't today your half day? Yeah, I thought you said you were taking Catherine to the mall after lunch for some quiet time."

What happening... he isn't in his normal state. Half-day?

"Hmm, sir, are you all r... I mean." he fell silent for a moment

He want me to go away? He don't want me to pass the med-test or what? Wait a second...

"Yeah... it is my half-day, but I have a little problem. I know it is unusual to ask that to the coach, but... as the practice is cancel tonigth, I suppose there will be one tommorow night, and I said to Catherine that we would go to a restaurant and a movie tommorow... I must now do it tonight and I won't have the money needed... I know, I shouldn't ask you, but I would like to have fifty box. I would pay it back this week for sure.

And for tommorow, I have a suggestion for the practice. I know those sessions of looking the recorded bad plays are a good way to improve, but with last game, we won't be able to finish. I suggest to look at a quater at a time and then practice on the field what have gone wrong. And like that, Bobby will not sleep right in your face."

Corey Vinyard

As Jennifer and Lorenzo turn and leave without even acknowledging him, the embarassment on Corey's face turns into shock. I practically ran them over, they must have seen me. He thinks as he follows them towards the parking lot. I'm used to not being noticed, but it's not like I blend in with the wall.

When he reaches the parking lot, he sees them talking to Kyle Graham and stops. Who am I kidding? We just need Andrew Ward out here and it'll be the who's who of Whitmyer High School. They don't want to hang out with me. He pauses, lost in thought for a moment. Maybe I'm just being paranoid. Maybe that huge machine is just looking for the flu. Maybe I'm the tooth fairy. And it was pretty strange how coach sent me off earlier. Could he have been letting me go? But I really want to know what those machines are. Maybe... I can find out. It's not like I have anything else to do. I bet I could climb into the window of the gym bathroom and watch from the entrance to the locker room. Nobody will be going there today. Hmm... and maybe if I go to my other classes I can get out of this without a call to my parents.

For lack of any other ideas, Corey starts sneaking around to the outside of the gym.

Sammy Donaldson

For lack of any other ideas, Corey starts sneaking around to the outside of the gym.

While Sammy had been sitting in his SUV pondering where to go, he noticed Corey creeping around the outside of gym. It didn't look like he was trying very hard to leave.

Didn't he hear the announcment about the scans?
If he's trying to sneak back in he'll get caught and be stuck in that long ass boring line. Maybe even stuck behind someone worse than who I was stuck behind; and I'm not wishing that on anyone. Or maybe he's just waiting for his ride to come out...? I should go see whats up, maybe I can give him a lift and we can figure out somethin' to do in this boring town.

Sammy gives it a second thought, If I go over there and we both get busted, I'm gonna be P.O'ed!!

At the risk of getting caught Sammy unbuckles his seatbealt, turns off the motor and exits the vehicle. *jogging at a good pace to speed things up*
As he's jogging he notices abunch of people leaving like it was senior skip day or something. Glancing over to see Eleyna and Gabe sitting in her car, and a pack of usuals all grouped talking in the parking lot, together like they aren't gonna get caught if a member of the faculty walks out.

Sammy reaches Corey. "Dude, what are you doin'? Sneakin' around like that it's gonna get you so busted. You waiting on a ride, or you need one? Cause I was just gettin' ready to jet if you want a lift. Only problem is I have no idea what to do or where to go."

Jeniffer Allen

"Fancy name for that sad excuse for a car you call your own."

She gives him a wide and disarming smile as she matches his speed to walk beside him. This day is getting better and better.

"Hey your the one with the wheels and I chose last..."

Her bump into Corey interupts her right then she raises an eyebrow in slight agitation.
What is this? Bump day?
Normally Corey belongs to those people who carry themself in that certain way that makes them pass under her notice but did he just speak to her?
Damn, what is his name again? Oh yeah, Corry or something.
She watches him turn red like light for a few moments, feeling slightly bad for letting him suffer like that but finding it much too entertainning to interupt.
Before the guy catches himself or she finally breaks the moment he is allready gone again.

"What was that all about?"

She allready forgot the whole incident before they turn the next corner.

"Hey, Kyle, what's up, man?" Lorenzo said, then looked around to make certain he wasn't drawing too much attention to them.

Lorenzo looked to Jennifer for approval before saying anything, shrugging his shoulders to say that he didn't care.

She matches his shrug but nods slightly to tell him there's no problem for her.

Kyle smiles sheepishly. "Think coach caught onto my impromptu edit of his impeding film expose of the team's slaughter this weekend. So, I figured that I'd..well edit it. I got a strong hint that it was time for me to leave..never thought coach would tell me to bail." shurgs. "But he did.. hiya.. Jenn.." trails off sheepishly smiling

Lorenzo can see Jens eyes rolling up as she regrets her decision only seconds later. That bragging about what she considers "geek skills" just reminded her that Kyle didn't get the title school goof for nothing. So she's either in for some really stupid pranks or tales about old ones. With four or more people Kyle is pretty much okay and you can redirect him to someone else if it gets too much but with three it gets exhausting.

And even more importantly she is worrying a lot about the attention they are drawing and her eyes are wandering between the doors and the car in an increasing frequency. Today is not the day to get busted.

Kyle Graham HP: 2/2

Kyle is suprisingly quiet, given his past performances, as he slips into the car and puts on a casual air of indifference as he humms lightly all the while looking back the way he came. Quite strange for the boy who wired up three bullies lockers and stood casually by as all three were covered in showers of flour and food coloring without a hint that he had anything to do with it.

Quite noticable is the fact that he won't even look at Jennifer, and gone is a lot of his old flirting/joking that he does with the girls in the school (if Jennifer thinks about it, he's not joked or flirted with her for several weeks now) and if anything seems quite tense around her.

Kyle closes his eyes at one point and tries to take a deep focusing breath to relax and keep things locked down before he slips up and lets things get out of hand. As he does so, an almost familar buzz fills his head and he glances around, trying to find where it's coming from. A side glance to Jennifer and Lorenzo line up with the 'vibe' he's getting.

No way.. like it's not enough being a shapeshifting freak.. but to be one who can sense others? Gimme a break.. That's it.. Uncle Chris is going to tell me some things about dad and like.. YeSTERDAY. Kyle thinks to himself as he tries to 'turn' off the buzz.

Jennifer Allen

She throws herself into the cars seat, allready feeling a lot better.
Halfway out now.
Kyle seemed awfully quiet around her for a while now and the way he just went silent then he saw her was pretty strange but it isn't as if today is the first time. Plus there is no sense in complaining about such a rare gift.

"Looks like this place will be more or less empty in a few minutes. I never saw so many work up the nerve to skip. By the way, let's get ouf of here before they notice this crowd."

Lorenzo Reynolds HP 2/2

Lorenzo eased into the seat of his Monte Carlo, mock sad expression on his face. "But, Jennifer, this car's a classic . . . ," Lorenzo said trying to be all sad about Jennifer's comment on his car, then broke into a laugh. "Heck, I'm just lucky my parents let me drive."

"Looks like this place will be more or less empty in a few minutes. I never saw so many work up the nerve to skip. By the way, let's get ouf of here before they notice this crowd."

"Your wish is my command . . . ," Lorenzo replied. "Yeah, it's never fun getting hauled back in."

Lorenzo made his way out of the parking lot, but not directly. Instead, he drove on the far side of the lot away from the school, and onto the access lane that lead into the dirt road along the practice fields. He knew that this road was out of the sight of the school, and lead onto a less conspicuous side street. From there, they would be home free.

"So, Kyle, you're looking a little wierded out," Lorenzo said, still smiling and happy with himself, "this can't be your first time cutting school, is it?"

Sammy reaches Corey. "Dude, what are you doin'? Sneakin' around like that it's gonna get you so busted. You waiting on a ride, or you need one? Cause I was just gettin' ready to jet if you want a lift. Only problem is I have no idea what to do or where to go."

"Umm, I was just going to see what's happening in the gym. I figured if I stay on campus, they might not notice i skipped gym." Corey sighs. "I don't really know what I'm doing today."
