Well arn't your charming

"Welcome. Since its inception in 1903, Eden Hall Academy...has taken great pride in its illustrious tradition of excellence."

Along with my girls, Kenny, Dwayne, and Russ we sit in the auditorium silently as we listen to Mr Andrew welcome everyone to the new school year. The others had gone off for a little skating trip around the school but were yet to arrive for this assembly that we were told we must attend.

If they were to enter quietly maybe they might go unnoticed by the teachers.

"Yet, as we approach the coming millennium, we dare not shrink from the specter of inevitable change." Mr. Andrew continued

"What did he say ?" Dwayne whispers.

"Something about a shrinking sphincter." Russ jokingly replies.

Dwayne nods and repeats what Russ said, believing the bullshit that Russ just fed him.

We all chuckle, not trying to interrupt Mr Andrew.

I look down at my nails and begin to bite them out of boredom, I began to slightly worry about where the others were. It would be a matter of minutes before Mr Andrew introduced us.

"Thus, myself, the board, Tom Riley of the alumni association...and Varsity Coach Wilson, who has led us to ten consecutive state championships,"

While sitting there zoning out on the speaker I feel two eyes burning into the back of my head. I slightly turned my head so I could see the staring person in my peripheral vision. It was an older boy in a varsity jacket. Despite my attempts at trying to hide myself looking he sees and smirks. He looks like an ass. I return my head to look at Mr Andrew.

"So, today, after much debate...on both sides, we proudly open our doors via full scholarships...to a truly gifted group of student-athletes."

Oh, those guys are in deep shit if they don't turn up in the next thirty seconds.

So, will you please join me in giving a big, rousing Warrior welcome to the gold medal winners of the Junior Goodwill Games? I present to you..."

Within a second of Mr Andrew's pausing the rest of the team comes crashing onto the stage. My eyes feel like they have popped out of my head and an inhumane sound comes out of my mouth as I try to not laugh.

"Hey, get off of me !" I hear Goldberg yell.

"Hi. We're the Ducks!" Charlie says while laughing.

The students all laugh while Mr Andrews and the rest of the staff express various emotions from anger to surprise.  I continue to chuckle as I watch Charlie help up the rest of the team, we make eye contact and he smiles.

🏒🏒🏒

After the conclusion of the assembly, everyone was dismissed from the hall and sent to their dorms for the first day of classes tomorrow.  Mostly everyone had left and just as I was about to stand up and head over to Charlie the older boy from behind me leans forward and chewed his gum in my ear. I quickly turn around,
