New Generation Legacy, Issue 2: A New day arrives

[Mimic]

Nick, Emmet, Clover, Jerry

Nick smirks at Yoshi, "Not a crash man, I careened off the highway driving nuns and ran right into a burning church... thanks though. But the day is young, and I am sure I will bounce back to my normal charming self in a few short moments."

Layla snorts but says nothing as she sets down a plate of food, Yoshi takes about half of it before she can sit down. She stares at him for a moment. "What?" He asks, "turn around is fair play."

"Don't know, really. Some people came in and started shooting up the place. We stopped 'em."

"Man, that is messed up, I'm glad none of you guys were hurt." Amandi says shaking his head.

"The attack commenced with a large explosion at the food court; a lot of people killed got killed. I hear it was pretty horrible there," Emmet says, shuddering as he closes his eyes in remembrance of the carnage he glimpsed....[/color]

As you discuss the attack in vivid detail, Layla's face pales considerably and she shoves the rest of her food at Yoshi. "Can we discuss something else please." She says quietly.

Emmet easily spots Manjit, considering there are only about 20 students in a room that looks like it could hold 500 easily. Although she is not alone, the girl that shot down Nick earlier has just walked up to her table.

Mary

The girl makes eye contact with you for a moment before moving her gaze elsewhere, there is no fear or sadness but more of apprehension. "Hello," she says quietly, "I'm Manjit." Her accent has a heavy Hindi dialect, she is definitely from the middle east.

Cody puts his hand on Raph's shoulder, gently nudging her backwards. "Don't mind Raph, she's not used to interacting with other people too well..." he responds, thinking, ...either and hoping Tina can fill in the blanks.

He continues, "It sounds like you had good intentions, but I don't think Emmet understood what you were getting at. We all have issues to work out, I mean isn't that what highschool's for? If you want a friend you can be mine if you like, but only if you want it and not because someone told you it would be good for you."

"Even if you don't want a friend and just want someone to talk to, I'm here." the teen offers.

"Man, that is messed up, I'm glad none of you guys were hurt." Amandi says shaking his head.

"Well I got winged, but no worries."

As you discuss the attack in vivid detail, Layla's face pales considerably and she shoves the rest of her food at Yoshi. "Can we discuss something else please." She says quietly.

Nick notices the look and softens and puts a hand on her shoulder to comfort her, “Yeah there isn’t much to say at this point and it definitely isn’t breakfast conversation so let’s can that kind of talk for now and just enjoy this kick ass breakfast.”

“Man I could kill for a good football game, or any kind of sports team, the more physical the better,” Nick says wistfully.

Mary

The girl makes eye contact with you for a moment before moving her gaze elsewhere, there is no fear or sadness but more of apprehension. "Hello," she says quietly, "I'm Manjit." Her accent has a heavy Hindi dialect, she is definitely from the middle east.

"Nice to meet ya." Not really giving me much to work with here... "So you're from India? It must be pretty tough to have use your second language for school."

"Have you had some trouble making friends here? I just got here myself; maybe we could go around and meet everyone together?"

Mary

"It ok really, I learned how to speak English when I was pretty young, my parents figured that it was important for all their kids to know it. Turned out they were right." She says with a smile. While her dialect is very heavy it is clear that she has a pretty firm grasp on the English language.

Her smile fades quickly as you mention going around and introducing yourselves to everyone. "No... no thank you," she stammers quickly. "I can... I don't do crowds very well." she adds hanging her head a little. "It was very nice to meet you though."

Cody

"Hey, I interact really well with other people," Raph interjects with a hurt tone. "Just ask anyone... except that guy with the fake hair but how was I supposed to know it was supposed to be a secret. I mean it was just sitting there on top of his head."

Tina gives you a bewildered look as Raph talks about the man and his fake hair. "Is she for real?" She says looking at you, "as for the friend thing... yea I guess it would be ok." She adds with a shrug, "it would nice to have a friend." She adds sincerely, "but if your doing this thinking its going to turn into a friends with benefits thing, I am going to have to break you in half." She says with a smirk. "And I am still not going back in there."

"Yay, were friends now." Raph cheers, clapping. "Ok, really, where did you find her?" Tina asks.

Emmet, Clover, Jerry, Nick

"Is that European football or real football partner?" John asks, "because if its real football then count me in, we might have to get some girls to join in but then we can go easy on them." He says as an after thought.

Layla just stares at him.

"What?" John replies.

"Dude, I am so glad I am not you right now." Yoshi interjects.

"What??" John adds in again.

 

[Vanifae]

"Quarterback All-State, and I wouldn't go easy on the women, some of them are tougher then many of the boys here," Nick grins nudging Layla playfully.

"Crowds? Most of us are sitting in twos or threes," Mary looks around, double checking her statement. "It's cool if you don't want to, but if you're nervous wouldn't it be a better idea to break the ice now instead in classes of 8 or 10 or whatever?"

"Besides, I could use your help," Keller remarks. "There's at least one sort of couple this morning, so approaching them by myself might get a little awkward. We wouldn't want people to get the wrong idea, right?" Keller exaggerates, "Having a friend with me would make things so much easier. Come on."

"I mean, it's your choice whether or not to hang out with other people, but you could at least meet them and give them a chance before you decide you want to be alone. If people picked on you before or something, well, I don't think those people are here."

"Excuse me," Emmet says, standing up and properly disposing of his empty tray. He declines to rejoin the group at the table, instead of heading towards Manjit and Keller.

"Hello Mary, hi Manjit. You doing okay," he inquires towards the Indian teenager. "You missed out on some angry girl getting mad at me and smashing that column," he says with an embarrassed smile.

 

[Victim]

"Hey, Emmet. We were talking about going to meet some of the people here. I don't think Manjit and I have talked to everyone yet."
