The California Adventure

Chapter 13: Nolan meets...Nina?

Meanwhile, about three thousand miles away in Rackleff, Maine...

Life was not the same without Nate. Translation: Nate's old friends had or STILL having struggles coping with Nate in California now, especially Ruby. Francis missed the old days of Nate giving noogies to his head, Teddy had struggles finding someone to crack a joke to, Randy kept a VERY quiet profile since the PS 38 school incident and struggles with his parents' divorce, Chad...well, he was still Chad at his same old ways of eating and drinking sweets and other good food he liked, Jenny got on Webcam to continue "dating" Artur, who went back to Belarus since he was an exchange student, Dee Dee kept getting dramatic over one little thing and was CONSTANTLY worried on what's to come in the future, and RUBY? Well, she wasn't the same without Nate, since their relationship didn't last too long because Nate had to move. But despite promising on finding Nate in the near future, her hopes and dreams were slowly dying every single day, mainly due to her parents telling her that "friends come and go, but family is forever."

It was another typical day at Jefferson middle school (and yes, they still had good food especially with the the ice cream machine but NOW they also have a smoothie machine. Smokes! Even I wish I had a school that can afford that!, because PS 38 had to close and eventually get demolished so it can turn into a memorial for the fallen teachers and students, and Mr. Chung is in the middle of teaching when the principal came in with a good-looking female student.

"Oh hello," Mr. Chung said to the principal, Mrs. Williger, who introduced the new student to the class.

"Kids, this here is Nina Watson. She will be with this class, so please let her fit right in. You hear me?" Mrs. Williger said to the class before leaving.

So that was that, as Nina went to sit down in her new desk, Teddy couldn't help herself but look on how just so beautiful she looked.

"Teddy, you still with us?" Mr. Chung broke Teddy out of his dreamy gaze.

"Uh, yeah. Yeah I am," Teddy responded quickly, not wanting to become an embarrassment to the class.

"Okay, now as I was saying..." Mr. Chung said before turning back to the chalkboard.

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggggg!

Class was let out soon after. And lunch commenced.

And, again, they now have a smoothie machine (much to everyone's delight). As everyone was getting their lunches, Nolan spotted Teddy an the table with his friends, got up, and headed straight towards them.

Randy noticed Nolan first, then got up and went face to face with Nolan while the chit chatter quickly died down and all eyes on the two students.

Silence for a few seconds.

"...you know, just because you are now part of Jefferson Middle School, doesn't mean you are a Jefferson student completely," Nolan said finally, breaking the silence.

"Let's not do this, man," Randy said calmly.

"Or what? Do nothing but watch you break all our other streaks we had over the years?" Nolan shot back quickly.

Nolan was right. Ever since Randy joined sports, he DOMINATED all the other streaks Jefferson had over the years, including but not limited to basketball, baseball, soccer, whatever. Jefferson lost every other sports game and every other streak because of Randy.

"Well, why don't you just wait for the next 7 years and see if you can win your streak back?"

"I LOVE to, but none of us are going to be here in the next 7 years because we are going off to college an some to the military, so I can't!" Nolan hissed before raising his hand as a fist, ready to strike down Randy, until suddenly-
