The Astro-Zodiacs: Next Generation

Chapter 2: Greensboro, North Carolina

              Some years later, in the county of Guilford, North Carolina, there's a city located in the county seat named Greensboro. Greensboro is a large city located in the Piedmont Triad metropolitan region. The city's popular attractions are: Greensboro Science Center, International Civil Rights Museum, Weatherspoon Art Museum, Greensboro Symphony, Greensboro Ballet, Triad Stage, Wyndham Golf Championship and Atlantic Coast Conference. Some others include the Statue of Nathanael Greene, the Greensboro skyline, Blandwood Mansion, and much more.

This city has many neighborhoods and districts. There lived many people in Greensboro in different races. There are schools, buildings, sports and others. Far away from the downtown and some schools nearby, there's a house located in Percy Street. It's not just any ordinary house, this served as the Burchett family house, home of the Burchetts. A 14-year old boy is sleeping in the bed, waiting for the alarm clock to start. His name is Darryl Burchett, referred as Dewey by his friends, a young boy living in the house with his parents and a high school student. A couple of seconds, the alarm went off, awakening him up as he stood up from his bed, "Whoa!" he shouted before turning it off. He got out of the bed before opening the window curtains, "Oh, what a perfect day!" Dewey said to himself as he went to take a shower in order to go to school. Moments later, Dewey came out of his house, fully dressed and after having breakfast, he let out a sigh of relief before a african-american nerdy boy came out of his house in 703 Percy Street. Their astrological signs are Aries and Libra.

"Hey! Good morning, Dewey!" The african-american boy greeted him.

"Good morning, Shawn!" Dewey also greeted him, "How's it going?"

"I'm fine!" Shawn adjusted his glasses and went next to his friend as they walked together, "A resident from other town came to Greensboro yesterday. We hope that he or she looks like."

"I'm so excited, pal! Let's meet him until we go to school!"

"I heard from some guys that he came from Virginia."

"Yeah, right. Virginia," Dewey nodded.

When the two boys went to the bus stop in Summit Ave to wait for the school bus, they sighed as they looked around. In Winston Street, there lived The Brown-Linwood family. A 11-year old girl, Lorraine Brown came out of her house in order to go to school. Her astrological sign is Pisces as she went outside, "Ah, what a lovely day!" She said to herself before greeting her neighbor, "Morning!" she said before turning her attention to her stepsiblings, who are inside, "Travis! Lauren! C'mon! We'll be late!"

"I'm comin, Lorraine!" Travis, the twin brother in the same age as Lorraine, went outside as he quickly has put his jacket, "Lauren! Hurry! We don't have it all day!"

"I'm coming, Travis! I'm zipping my skirt!" Lauren, the twin sister, shouted as she zipped her skirt, before going outside as well, "Sorry, what did I miss?"

"We better go to school!" Lorraine told them, "Let's go to the bus stop!"

"Roger that!" said the twins, their astrological sign is Gemini.

In the bus stop, the school bus pulled over as Dewey and Shawn went inside. They greeted their classmates with a smile as they winked their eyes at each other. The boys sat down as they found themselves in front of another classmate sitting next to them, "Someday, we'll have everything that we want, like, enjoy a wonderful life," said Dewey before a girl with a brown jacket and red beanie stood up from her seat. Her name is Rebecca Harlington, nicknamed Becca. Her astrological sign is Cancer, "Hi, Becca!"

"Hey, Dewey! It's good to see you!" said Becca, "Perfect day to go to school, isn't it?"

"Absolutely, girl!"

"Becca, have you ever heard of the new resident that came yesterday?" said Shawn.

"Hey, hey, hey! New reisdent?" Becca clicked her tongue in response, "For your information, Shawn, I think it's gonna be a boy!"

"Or a girl!" Dewey remarked before the bus pulled over at W. Fisher Avenue. In a house located in Simpson Street, a blue-haired girl came out of a house as she secured her ponytail with a blue elastic band to keep her hair in place. Her astrological sign is Taurus and her name is Ashlyn Ferguson, a social outcast and also a bad-girl. She went to the school bus where she sat next to a boy.

"Hey, Ashletta!" said the boy.

"It's Ashlyn, silly. You're not my friend," Ashlyn corrected him before greeting her friends, "Hello, guys."

"What's up, Ashlyn?" said Becca, "Any plans after school?"

"I don't have anything planned, Becca."

Many hours later, the school bus has arrived in Grimsley High School. The students, including Dewey, Shawn, Becca and Ashlyn, came out as they smiled. The blue-haired girl saw a group of cheerleaders and tried to say hello, but is ignored as she looked dismayed, "Ugh...Every day they see me as a loser," She said.

"Ashlyn, easy," said Dewey.

The four teenagers went inside the school and has put their stuff in their lockers. When Dewey closed his locker, he turned around to see Denver and Colby going to school, "Hi, Denver! Hi, Colby!"

"Hello, Dewey!" said Denver. His astrological sign is Sagittarius.

"Hi, Dewey!" said Colby. His astrological sign is Capricorn.

"Really? A resident from Virginia? Emmy, why you didn't told me so?" said a pretty blonde girl hanging out with her friends while she came to the same school. She wore a pink dress with purple floral leggings, magenta shoes, a matching purple scarf and two purple bracelets. Her name is Megan Prescott, nicknamed Meg by her friends. Her astrological sign is Virgo.

"Come on, Meg. I think that resident could be a popular girl like you, Tiffany and all of us," said Emmy.

"That's right, Emmy!" said a redhead named Tiffany Stephens. Her astrological sign is Aquarius, "Meg, I think you're gonna love it!"

"Wow...." Dewey looked awestruck, as he thought to himself, "Meg Prescott. The popular girl of Grimsley High School. Pretty scarf, leggings, what a young lady she is," He said as he imagined himself going to Meg's house carrying flowers as he knocked on the door, "Hello, Megan."

"Hello, uh...Dewey," Meg blushed as she picked up the flowers, "How kind of you giving the flowers to me."

"Thank you," Dewey complimented her before going back to reality, finding himself staring at Meg, "Come on, guys. Let's go to the classroom."
