New In Town

Hey Asstown! Can You Not?

A shrill sound pierced the not-so-silent Study Hall classroom.

"Okay, see you Monday. Don't get in too much trouble over the weekend." Mr. Clarkson said as we walked out the door.

I made a small, uncatagorizable noise and muttered under my breath, "No promises."

"What did you say Derrickson?" Mr. Clarkson quirked an eyebrow at me and I flushed pink.

"Uh... No promises."

The wrestling coach's loud laughter echoed throughout the classroom. "We can make a sarcastic asshole of you yet." was all he said before walking to the teacher's lounge.

Nik elbowed me in the side and I turned to him. "Awe man, you're not ticklish?"

"I am, just not on my sides. But heed my warning: Do not look for my ticklish spots. I am not responsible for any injuries if you do happen upon one." I warned all four. "Loki Doki, now to find the Athletic Office."

"Did you really just say 'Loki Doki'?" Lan asked.

"Yes. Problem?"

"Wait, as in Loki of Asgard who is burdened with glorious purpose?" Enzo asked and my eyes lit up.

"YES!" I freaked and jumped up and down a few times. "Tom Hiddleson is a perfect human being and you cannot tell me otherwise."

"I think I'm in love." Enzo fake-swooned.

While the others were laughing Enzo grabbed my hand and yanked me down the hallway. He had a huge smile on his face as we raced to our unknown destination.

"Where are we going?"

"The Athletic Office, just like you asked." he replied.

"Okay." We stopped running and walked the rest of the way. It was only when we approached the door that I realized Enzo was still holding my hand. "Why, thank you kind sir. I should be good from here."

"Nah, I'll wait here so I know that you'll make it to your car." Enzo propped himself up against the wall outside and I walked into the office.

"Excuse me." I said, slightly startling the lady at the desk.

"Yes dear?" she replied.

"Um, I am going to try out for the softball team and I was wondering if there was a waver or something that I had to sign to try out."

"Tonight is just informational so you will get it there." She smiled at me.

"Thanks," I smiled back, "Have a nice day." I left the office and returned to the hallway where Enzo is standing.

"Ready to go shorty?" he teased.

I slapped his shoulder but nodded, following him to the school parking lot. The other three were standing by Nik's Acura waiting for us to show up.

"Where'd you take her?" Nik asked accusingly.

"He took me to the Athletic Office like I asked." I told him. He just nodded.

"So which one is yours?" Tony inquired.

"You guys first. Well, except Nik. I already know the black NSX concept." I countered.

"Bright orange Jeep is mine, the H1 is Enzo's, and Lan owns the black Cummins over there."

"Man, I've always loved the smell of diesel." I smiled. "Okay, if you would walk with me past the vehicles that I can't afford you will see my beat up Honda." I say pointing out my car.

"Holy Hell, that's what you drive?" Lan was shocked.

"Yeah, it was my brother's." All four guys circled the small hatchback.
