It All Started With Hello [Book One In The Hello Series]

Chapter 38- Debate and Performing

"That's Kendell and Kentrell. Twin boys that go to Langston Hughes. Can't stand them. They always try to beat us, but they are hilarious." Alexa explained.

"They seemed a little too friendly." Prince grumbled.

"Please. We don't want them. They are alright. They ain't "I'ma-stop-everything-I'm-doing-to-talk-to-the-them" alright. Y'all so jealous." I rolled my eyes.

"Really though." Brittany laughed as they gave out the topic, paper, and we found out who we were going against. Bannker.

"NHN has Bannker. HS has Langston Hughes. Both Prop." Mr. Razem inforemed us.

"Okay. Why standardized test do more harm than good." Vickie said aloud as we started writing. We started walking before we finished writing and out the door to a building just a walk away.

"I'll go with Juno and Isis." Mrs. Razem said.

"I'll go with them as well." Roc said.

"I'll go, too." Brittany said.

"And we'll go with the others." Prince said as he dragged Prod and Ray with us. Jari went with Roc, Juno, Isis, Brittany, and Mrs. Razem.

"You just gonna pull us apart, huh?" Prod grumbled as we walked into the building.

"Room 308." I muttered aloud as I searched for the room. When we found it, we realized we were early. Only the judge was in there ans she was very pretty.

"She is very pretty." Ray whispered to Prod and Prince. They just nodded as Bannker came in. An all boy team. We debated ruthlessly against the boys and were standing, waiting for the results in fifteen minutes.

"Wow. You put that team on hush mode." Ray laughed. Prod and Prince chuckled with him.

"I couldn't understand a word the first speaker said. That made it hard to refute their points." I told the girls.

"I know. I couldn't understand a word he said, but I didn't say anything." Vickie agreed.

"That last speaker, though. He is so lucky I couldn't slap him." I growled.

"Aww. The big, bad wolf is mad." Prod joked.

"Not the time." Mr. Razem cut me off before I could snap at Prod.

"They want us back in." One of the boys we just debated told us. We walked back and were informed that we won. We shook their hands with smiles and left for the original building.

"I can't believe we lost to girls." The last speaker mumbled. Lord help me.

Prince saw my irritation and wrapped an arm around me. Juno and Isis won as well. The second debate went by smoothly. Both of our teams won that one. Now we have lunch in Tulane's cafeteria.

The girls and I were excited. We've eaten from this cafeteria more than once and it never disappoints.

"I know y'all like food, but you are a little too excited." Roc commented.

"This lunch is like heaven." Alexa said.

"Trust me. You greedy bums will love it." I told the boys. They just smiled as we walked into the building. Alexa, Isis, and I walked to the pasta station. I pulled the boys with me.

"Crawfish or chicken? Pene or spaghetti? Red sauce or white sauce?" I asked the boys.

"Crawfish and pene. White sauce." They all said. I nodded and grabbed five bowls with vegetables.

"Can I get five plates of the crawfish and pene and whit sauce with these vegetables please?" I asked the guy cooking.

"Sure sweetie." He said and took the bowls of vegetables. Our food was done in a few minutes so we left, got our drinks, forks, napkins, and sat down by the windows.
