Oh
Oh, hey there
Yeah..
Yeah, I guess you can.. uh
sit and.. uh join me, if you want to
Yeah, I was just about to.. uh
eat my lunch.
Yep, I.. have my brown baguette
Can't afford the..
expensive.. uh
lunch plan we got at this place. I mean.. come on you know?
We're wearing uniforms, and everything is just so expensive.
Yeeep yep..
Yep, I'm uh.. I'm a scholarship kid
Ya pegged me
What gave it away the...
brown bag and the.. uh
worn-out uniform?
Umm.. uh..
Don't worry, I'm not offended. It's all good, it's all right.
by the way.. umm
My name's.. uh Tori, well.. what's yours?
Well.. uhh
I'm happy to meet you
uh.. You look kind of familiar. I think I've seen you in a few classes, but yeah, I guess we.. uh
never really.. uh talked before or anything.
So it's.. uh really good to.. to meet you.
Oh you.. uh
know me as the girl who's been getting
frequent.. uh after-school detentions.
Yeeah.. I have this
one teacher that just
gets on me for everything, every little thing, that..
this teacher just gets on me about.
Yeah, yeah that one. Yeah drives me crazy, but I don't want any marks on my record or
notes home to my parents or anything
and..
-Sighs- If I you know, if I
do what the teacher wants me to..
do during these.. uh
detention sessions it doesn't
count against me and I can maintain my perfect record, so I guess I'm kind of stuck. I just...
Yeah.. Yeah, it sucks though that I
keep getting in trouble with him for.. pretty much virtually nothing and
things that I see soo many other
students here
do you all the time or do..
even way worse and no one says anything about that. Nope
I'm the one who.. uh
gets in trouble and
has to stay late.
-Sighs- Talk about unfair
Anyway I was about to.. uh
eat my lunch
don't mind me.
Oh.
Oh.. and by all means.. uh as I'm eating just tell me about yourself
Hey, like I said I've.. I've seen you a few times, but we haven't talked or anything.
-opening packaged lunch-
-enjoying her lunch-
Mmm.. Mhm..
Mhmm..
Ahh...
Oh hey, that's.. -chewing- that's interesting
Mhm..
Oh wow
Oh, that's really cool.
Hmm..
-opening more packaged food-
Oh yeah, I didn't know they.. uh offer things like that here.
I guess the scholarship students are just..
kept out of the loop of some things.
Oh..
Oh, well
-enjoying her lunch as she listens to you-
Oh.. Oh that's really neat yeah.. yeah, that's a super cool.
Mhm..
Ohh..
-lips smack- Hmm..
Where did I put that drink? Oh, there it is.
um..
-drinking-
Ah..
Hahh..
Yep mm.. ahh
Yep just.. uh
eating..
cut up.. uh tuna fish sandwich.
Yep
Don't really got a whole lot to work with at home right now. Not quite.. uh due for grocery shopping yet.
Your food looks pretty good.
Yeah, you got the school.. the school lunch?
Ohh yeah, it looks fancy.
Ohh..
Oh that is cool, is that like a.. like a chicken teriyaki.
ohh.. with a.. a nice little side salad
and some rice and some..
ooo.. and some.. some
stir-fried vegetables.
Ohh.. you got like a little cake dessert.
Uh.. w-wait, what did you get drink?
Oh, you got..
oh.. you got that really cool
juice smoothie aw.. that's really cool.
Oh I'm.. super jealous.
-drinking-
Hmm.. mind if I.. uh try some of it?
Um.
Are you sure? I mean.. you don't.. uh have to if you don't want to.
All right
I'll try a little bit of..
what.. uh to this little salad bit is.
-chews on the salad bit- Mmm..
Mmm.. yeah that is good, it's got like.. a ginger dressing on it.
Ooo..
Talk about fancy.
Mmm.. this is good.
-enjoying your salad-
Awh.. Makes me jealous, that's for sure.
Here, you have it back.
Aww that's good, it's really good stuff.
-sighs contently-
-giggles-
What?
You.. you.. y..-giggle- for.. a scholarship girl, you think I'm.. the hottest one?
Can you Tell who's on scholarship, and who's not?
Oh.. you're..
you're told, or..
your family's told.
Like those uh..
school.. uh meetings or what not.
Ohh.. oh.. okay
That makes sense.
But.. uhh.. uh, yeah.
I guess I'm flattered -giggles-
I guess I'll take what I can get.
Yeah, yeah
aside from being a scholarship kid I..
get delayed.. uh quite a bit here obviously by that teacher,
but by.. uh other students too. Especially a lot of the boys because of how..
developed I am.
They like to.. uh
knock my books out of my hands as I.. walk down the halls, so I have to bend over to pick them up,
and then when I'm like sitting in my desk in class they're
again, trying to like knock something over. So I had to bend over, and it's just...
ughh.. it's so
humiliating..
And the worst thing is.. is when
a boy comes up to me, and it says some nice things and talks to me
and then..
asks me out,
and then his friend show up and start laughing..
and the whole thing is just one big joke.
You know that.. that really hurts..
So it's.. it's interesting that you say for..
being a scholarship girl. I'm the.. the hottest one.
Meanwhile.. uh
these.. uh these guys they're acting like that, but I guess..
because most of the students here
rich with rich parents, they think..
doing somethings they think it's funny. It's like.. "Oh, yeah as a joke go.. uh go ask out that poor.. uh scholarship girl."
"It'll be totally hilarious."
"Really get her hopes up."
Yeah..
-sighs- People can just..
be so uh..
cruel and mean sometimes.
Aww you're.. you're really sweet and.. really nice.
I'm surprised I haven't talked to you before, but then again considering what I deal with I've been uh..
keeping to myself most of the time and..
pretty close to graduating, and I'm just..
Hoping I can..
get into the college my choice.
Ohh, uh..
Which uh.. which college?
Oh, I really uh.. I'm really trying to get into Dartmouth.
Yeah, Dartmouth is my first..
Uhh..
University Pennsylvania is my second. UPenn that's been my second and my third choice...
Hmm.. what's my third choice..?
I guess I have to say the uh..
Uhh..
University of California,
uhh.. Santa Cruz
I heard of..
good things about that. I've also heard good things about..
UCLA, so those are some of my choices.
I'll be happy if I get into any of those
for sure.
What about you uh.. have uh..
you.. uh applied to anything yet?
Uh.. oh oh, you're uh a little bit uh..
behind me. Oh that's okay, It's hard for me to tell how old people are in this school. Like obviously the the freshmen look uh..
really young but..
you know as you hit like: sophomore, junior, senior. We all start
kind of sorta start uh..
blending into each other so...
It's hard to tell sometimes.
But it's okay, yeah so..
Umm.. when the time comes there is a guy here
specifically for helping us.. uh
pick out colleges we think would be a good fit for what we want to do, and
applying to them, and writing the uh..
essays, and preparing for the
the tests, and whatnot.
So yeah, I'm really glad that this school has those resources because they really do come in handy
and I'm very lucky that on the uh.. practice test, I've already gotten like really high scores so...
I have some hope, plus all of my.. uh
extracurriculars.
Really hoping with all that, that I can get into the.. school of my choice.
Well, thank you. Thank you for wishing me luck. Awhh..
You're super cool, it's not often, I meet another person who goes here who's.. cool and..
accepting and..
chill like you are. Plus you're.. you're a really good listener.
It's not uh..
common uh trait around here, and most people who go here just
like to talk. You know? I don't even have to talk about anything real is like uh..
I could gossip and
I'm sure you know you go here. You know, they just like the gossip and talk about..
-sighs- meaningless stupid stuff, but I guess that's.. uh school life for ya. -giggle-
Ohh, uh..
You wanna hang out with me again sometime..?
Oh, you want to hang out with me.. after class one day when I'm free?
Well um..
My uh..
extracurriculars um..
next week.. uh they're
canceled, because there's.. uh a big storm system coming in. So.. I'll be free uh..
W-what do you want to do?
Wha- y- yo-..
You wanna go to a.. go to a uh.. movie? Well, a..- okay
Is just like uh.. is this like a date?
Okay, it's like uh.. like a friendship thing, but we'll.. see where we go from there. Well...
I guess Yeah, let's do it.
umm..
I uh.. we can't have our phones out obviously cuz we're in school. They have us lock them up, but..
um..
I'm on the uh.. school bulletin boards. Oh, yeah, you see me on there. Yeah, so uh..
send me a private message through the.. uh school uh..
bulletin boards, and I'll give you my number and we can..
plan our uh..
movie date, okay?
-loud school bell rings- Ah. I think our..
lunch is almost over we uh..
better head to class.
It was nice uhh.. meeting you and having lunch with you.
I'll uh. see you later, okay?
okay..
Later!
