Disclaimers: Not mine, etc. Nobody but Peterson belongs to me. But then again, he's styled after Sunnydale's Snyder, so I guess he really doesn't belong to me either. Oh well. <g>
Author's Note: As y'all can tell, this is the modern day version of the Scribe's "Someday" kids. We kinda just transplanted them into the future. More stories to come, both in the ATF AU and the OW ... hopefully! Let me know if you'd like to see more.
Oh, and this one doesn't really have a plot. It's pretty much just an introductory piece.
And thank you to Karen for betaing. And to the Scribe for letting me play with her characters. Ooooooo, and in case you'd like faces with names, please check out the Scribe's Someday page. You'll find both the young and the adult versions of all the characters.
Hey, you must be new. Need help? Spanish? I'm heading that way myself. Any questions? Stuff I can answer for you? Tips? Sure. Hmmm, let me think ...
Oh, number one — never, under any circumstance, eat the meatloaf. I don't care what they friggin' tell you, don't eat it. Some kid upchucked a piece of his stomach a few years back.
Urban legend? Tell that to Chuck Wilson ... it was his big brother. Uh huh, that's what I thought.
Number two, see that guy over there? That's Peterson, the AP — Assistant Principal. Jackass. Steer clear.
Okay, rule number three ... and this is a big one ... Rule Three: do not mess with the Larabee crew.
See that kid? The blonde one sitting on that table? That's Michael Larabee, he's a senior. The chick you were checkin' out? She's Elena Wilmington — his girl. Dude, you just don't mess with Mike Larabee. Last year, some kid tried to mess with Ellie and the guy ended up in the Emergency room.
Hell no, I ain't kiddin'! Later that year, some idiot tried pickin' on Adam Dunne and got his balls kicked in by Larabee. Adam? He's the one with glasses and dark hair. Sophomore. See the girl next to him? Dark hair? Looks like a pixie? That's his sister, Annette. Yeah, she's a freshman, like you.
The red head? That's Penelope Standish ... yeah, yeah, funky name ... we all call her Penny. Best damn actress in the school. See the dark haired guy next to her? Peter Standish, her twin brother. Damn genius with machines. You got a problem with somethin', you go to him.
See that chick over there? The one with long brown hair? That's Samantha Tanner. Don't mess with her either or — Mike Larabee kick your ass? Snort Hell, she'll kick your ass! Forget Larabee! Sam'll karate chop your ass down without blinkin'. She and Penny are best friends. Some girl thought she could do a Tonya Harding on Penny so she could get Juliet in last year's play. Got Sam's fist in her face for her trouble.
Tough crew? Snort Brother, that ain't the half of it!
Okay, now see them? The tall ones? The white guy's Joshua Sanchez. I've heard he's so damn smart, he's suppose to be in his second year of college already. Why ain't he? Hmm, I heard he wanted to stay with his friends. Yeah with friends like that, I'd want to stay too.
The other guy's Tommy Jackson. He's suppose to be a sophomore like Sam, Peter, Penny, and Adam, but he's a Junior. Skipped? Yeah, Tommy told me that his parents let him skip a grade so Josh would have someone to go to class with. He and Josh are the brains ... heard they're tied for valedictorian. You need help with school, they're da men for the job.
Yeah, those two, yeah, they're new fish. Don't know much about them yet. But the blonde one's gotta be Larabee's li'l bro. Think Larabee said his name was Kyle. The dark haired one? Elena's brother. His name's Jimmy.
So that's them ... the Larabee crew. You make nice with them and the next four years are gonna be a lot nicer. Make 'em mad ... God help you, 'cause no one else is.
That's it, kid. Welcome to high school.
