The Uprising: Book One

Chapter 3: Meet The Sharks

Day three of orientation started on a similar note as the day before- stalls up; people out and about having a good time, “Start from here and work our way in?” Aster suggested. They all agreed and began- at least 10 stalls in; they heard the sound of music…above the other music being blasted, ahead of them students were crowding around one stall in particular, as the gang got closer, they realized this stall was the source of the good music, but by the time the gang reached, the sing along was over

Carmen made her way through and reached the front when the loudest of cheers died down, she picked up a flyer and smiled, “Music club” she said to herself

The musician put down his guitar and walked towards her with a smile, he ran a finger through his dark and wavy, medium length hair, “Let me guess…A bit of guitar and a lot of singing”

Carmen nodded her head in amazement, “How’d you know?”

“Good guess” he said with an amused smile. He handed her the clipboard and she jotted down her name and handed it back

The rest of the gang finally managed to reach Carmen, “Hey, you’re the DJ from last night” Andrea said

“The names Antonio…or Tony” he said whilst adjusting his jacket, “And you’re Carmen” he said with a smile

“Another lucky guess?” Carmen asked

Antonio laughed and just waved the clipboard, Carmen laughed when she understood he’d only known her name from reading it off the board. The rest of the gang did their introductions and spoke to Antonio for a bit before leaving

“He’s pretty hot” Andrea giggled, Carmen nodded with a laugh

After walking around a bit longer, Aster decided to check out the science stall

“Again?” Jason asked

Aster rolled his eyes and left anyway, “Hey wait up” Andrea shouted after him, she and Carmen then tagged along

“I want to join tracks…” Kristen said

“You like tracks or the head of it?” Primrose nudged her

“Well there it is” Dante’ pointed ahead

“And there’s the weights club” Jason urged Dante’

“Weights? Oh weightlifting…let’s check it out” Dante’ said, he and Jason then made their way to the stall

“I’ll be with them, you have fun now” Primrose said before following the guys and leaving Kristen alone

Kristen took a breath and made her way to the track stall, “I was wondering when I’d see you” Zac said as she approached, his brown eyes shining in the sunlight

“Really?” Kristen blushed

Zac laughed, “Did you think I’d forget your face so soon? There’s no way I’m not adding your talent to track team”

Kristen took the board and added her name to the list

Meanwhile at the weightlifting stall…”Have either of you ever lifted a weight before?” a ruggedly handsome and muscular guy asked

“Yes!” Dante’ defended

The guy laughed, “Other than your own body weight I mean”

Jason and Dante’ couldn’t help laughing, the guy handed them the clipboard

“We already joined football though…” Jason said

“You can join more than one club you know…all depends on schedules”
