Ride Or Die

New Friends

Ride or Die~ New Friends

That night I went back to Beau's room to sleep, by this time tomorrow though I would be sleeping in my very own suit. Where? The rooms right next to Jason and across from Dalton. There was another empty room on the other side of my door with a name plate engraved,

"Damon." I suppose he is new to the gang as well, Beau was right, the gang was growing fast.

"Beau?" I began to ask right before we both drifted off into a slumber. He replied with a simple "Hmm?" as a response. "Who is Damon?" I was thinking back on the sign to the door next to mine.

"He's new to the gang."

"How new?"

"Admitted just days before you, you're going to be meeting a lot of new people tomorrow."

I frowned, I was never really good at meeting new people because to be completely honest I knew school wouldn't last forever and in a couple years, those people I met wouldn't matter. However, for some reason I thought this situation might be different.

I was hanging out with Dalton as he was introducing me to all his friends, I put on a fake smile and hand shake for all the boys, and a hug for all the girls. I just hoped they would like me because if they didn't, my life would be hell for who knows how long. Jason and Beau were packing and getting ready for our departure though, they had already befriended all these people. And despite how mad Jason was still at me, he still agreed on getting my shit together for the trip while I made new friends.

I met Sara. She was a gorgeous brunette with light green eyes and a firecracker personality.

Then I met Kyle, he was smart. Really smart, Haley even told me he ran all the computers in the warehouse and worked on hacking into rivalry gang's computer systems.

Then there was Harry, a boy who I had barely even talked to for five minutes during my evaluation yet he knew my whole life story. He was sweet and welcoming.

There was a girl named Kami, she was beautiful with dark hair and a dark style much like myself, except she was stand offish and very quiet, at first I thought it was me, but then Haley told me that she was always shy around strangers and eventually she would warm up to me.

Lastly, I met an amazing couple, Laron and Sam. Laron was really protective over Sam, and she was so absent minded, just full of smiles and good vibes. She was the kind of person people loved to be around.

I had met so many people in such short time. My head was spinning.
"So I heard you're going on your first mission tomorrow!" Sara sounded almost excited.
"Are you nervous?" Kami pressed on.

I replied with a shrug, "The boys will be with me, so not really"
Haley seemed almost glum, "I wish I could have gone. I'm gonna miss Beau."
"They'll only be gone for a few days," Sam tried to reassure her.
"Would you miss Laron after just 'a few days'?" Haley shot daggers at Sam.
"She's just trying to help..." Kami trailed off.
I just sat there awkwardly, not wanting to be involved in the conversation.. My eyes wandered off to the guys who were now also accompanied by Jason and Beau was coming later. They all grasped a blunt and a beer bottle. I could hear murmurers and chuckles as their conversation went on much different than the girls'.
The boy, Harry, was the only one not smoking. I silently questioned him as he glanced over to me then smiled before looking away again. Suddenly, a girl's voice brought me back into the conversation, Haley.
"Pay?" My neck craned as I directed my attention towards her. "Do you think I should ask Micah if I could tag along on the trip tomorrow?" I shrugged my shoulders, almost thankful there would be another girl, especially one like Haley. She was the closest thing I had to a girl friend here, "Sure, I'll go with you right now."

"It's all over whelming isn't it?" Haley's voice broke the silence on our way to Micah's office.
"What is?"
"Meeting all those new people at once."
"Oh, yeah I guess."
"Well don't worry, they will all accept you eventually." She nudged me right before we entered the room I had been in so many times before.
"Paisley James, Haley Guap, what do I owe this pleasure?" Micah smiled up from his paper work.

"And... he said yes!" Haley was telling the story to Beau who was just as shocked as Sam and Laron. Jason didn't seem that caught off guard, but then again he never did. He never seemed surprised or overly happy, just overly pissed off at times. I sighed.
"So now you don't have to miss him," Sam smirked.
Laron dug his elbow into her side and smiled down at her.
She mirrored his expression.
Jason just grunted, "Get a room."
"Oh shut the fuck up," I rolled my eyes at him.
"Yeah, they're cute." Haley added.
Beau just chuckled as Jason glared from me to Haley.

This chapter is basically just filler before the trip, that and I wanted to introduce a lot of new characters so it might seem rushed.
