As Kevin heads to the area where they were supposed to meet their admissions counselor he looks around and sees other Job Corps students from the practical meeting they had to do. He noticed that there was another admissions council of with them. He knows those other students won't be going to the same Job Corps as he is. Since they weren't going to the same place, Kevin walks to the meeting area, giving them the best smile he could give them. He only wishes that the smile he gave them was real.
As Kevin approches the meeting place, he sees three people sitting together laughing and talking as though they were long aquanted and one girl sitting by herself reading a book. Kevin takes a seat two seats away from the girl and a seat closer to the three students. He gets a good look at everyone and tries to analyze his sorounding and the people around him. In the three students two are boys and one girl. The boy closest to him had a light brown hair and a nascular physic. His height was only slitely taller than him. The other boy was about 16 year old looking but he w as tall. He had a dyed hair of blonde and black hair. The girl that the two boys were talking to was about 18 years old looking and she was average height with a dirty blonde hair, her skin was as white as the snow and her eyes were as blue as the sky. The other girl that is by herself reading looks like shexwss 18. From how she looks she was Latina or Mexican. She has brown skin and eyes as dark as the sky. He also notices that unlike the other girl, she doesn't wear make ups. Kevin observe that the two boys were wearing their clothes as though they were gangsters. The though of it kind of entertained him.
Being around these guys makes Kevin realize that everyone has their own story. He looks at the two boys faces and he realizes that they don't have the look of sorrow or sadness in their eyes in fact they look happy from leaving their homes. Then Kevin looks at the girls. He can see that the blonde girl is a type who needs or wants more of things, perhaps its hope or it could be just that she needs someone better in her life. What Kevin realizes is that you're never really truly alone, there's always someone who will reach out to you and free you from the darkness. But even with that realization, he still can't bring himself to open up to people or trust anyone. He looks at the dark haired girl but he can't read anything about her. The clothes she wares ate normal and simple but besides that nothing else comes out. He was caught of guard when the mlMexivsn girl spoke. "Hey you," she says and looks at him straight with a tough expression on her face. "Can you stop that? I hate when people keeps looking around and looking at me, it's creepy you creep." He was startled by the girls faistiness. It took Kevin a moment to get his head straight, then he finally apologizes. The commotion put the group of threes attention towards Kevin. The girls voice was sweet with a little hint of a Mexican accent. "Geez," the older boy says "what's up with you girl." The girl looks at the older boy sharply. "You got a problem with that?" The girl says "I just didn't want him to keep staring so I got him off my back."
"Yeah but that was rude" the other boy says
"Mind your own business!" The Mexican says in a forceful voice things were getting heated so the blonde girl steeps in. "Enough guys!" She gets the arguing groups attention. "Kim is coming so just sit down please."
"Man I hate girls like tgst!" The older boy sits down and glares at the Mexican girl but the girl doesn't back down and glares back.
Kim finally arrived. She smiles as she approach the group. "Hey you guys, you ready to go to Weber Basin?" Everyone nods "alright," Kim continues "you all are going to the same place and so I got this for you guys." She hands out the tickets to everyone. Everyone grabbed random tickets. They walk check in and get their belongings checked by the guards. Then afterwards they sit and wait in the waiting room. "So" Kim says to break the heavy attention in the group. "E should all introduce ourselves. You guys already know me so you guys should introduce yourself to each one of you guys. Lets start from the very end." Kevin looks and sees its the Mexican girl. "My name is Andrea, I'm 18 and in planning on doing welding," then Kevin introduces himself, then the older kid. Kevin finds out that the older students name is Jordan and he is 22, the other boy is named Jorge and he is 16. And the other girls name is Pearl she is 17 turning 18 the next day.
A few minutes after the introductions are done, their flight to Weber Basin was announced. They all get on the plain and find their assigned seats. Kevin just wants to sleep so he hurries to fund his seat. He sits and makes himself comfortable when he looks up he sees that Andrea had the seat next to him. "Oh great the creep." She muders and takes her seat. "Do you really hate me that much?" Kevin asks "yeah" she replies with no visitation. "Why?"
"Because I don't like annoying creeps."
"I wasn't creeping I was just looking around and trying to take in my soriyndings."
'definition of a creep."
"Can't I change my mind cuz I'm not a creep."
"First impressions are everything."
"So that's your way of saying that I can't."
"Yeah at least your getting smarter." Kevin sighs in frostration. Great just great! Kevin thinks to himself, this sure is gonna be a long flight, I feel like we're gonna get along just fine. The sound of the plane taking off covers all sounds. Kevin hopes that his stay in Job Corps will be like the plane, it can take him higher and hifger.
