Ricky sat at his usual lunch table with his friend Seb whose face was stuffed in a book. "I did it again, I bought Ashlyn's drink again." Their red headed friend said as he slammed two drink bottles down on the table. "Didn't you do that yesterday?" Seb asked him. "Yes Seb, Yes I did. And on Monday." Big Red sighed and sat down. "Ash isn't here. She hasn't been here all week, Red." Ricky told his friend. "I know, I just keep forgetting." Big Red sighed. "Red, It's okay to miss her." Ricky told him. And Ricky was right, Big Red did miss her a lot. Ever since Ashlyn had moved to Higgs, the all girls school, Big Red has been missing her like crazy. "It's still weird. There used to be four of us, now there's three. Four is a group, three is just... a trio." Red continued, but Ricky was no longer listening. Instead he was staring at his new form seat partner, EJ Caswell. "Isn't that EJ Caswell? The guy you sit next to in form? I can't believe you sit next to rugby king, EJ Caswell. What are you guys even going to talk about?" Big Red questioned. "We've talked!" Ricky exclaimed. "About what?" His friend asked which caused Ricky to think about him and EJ's conversations. They mostly included them greeting each other, and that time EJ's pen exploded all over him and Mr Lange instructions led Ricky to help clean himself off.
" Just be careful, alright. Look at us and look at them. We're a bunch of borderline outcasts and He is the star of the rugby team and is friends with a bunch of gross Year 11's." Red warned him. "But EJ is different..." The other boy insisted. "We'll see, I bet he's a whole different person around his friends."
