Olivia: I suddenly remember. "Oh my gosh! Steve!" I rush into the dining room. He's still sitting there quite awkwardly. "I'm soooo sorry!" I exclaim. Then I burst out laughing. Steve: Olivia rushes in the room and apologizes. She starts laughing which causes me to chuckle. Mr and Mrs McAvoy enter the room and we finish our meal.

Olivia: After Steve, my parents and I have talked for waaaaay too long, we all stand up. "Thanks so much for coming! We had such a nice time," my mother says. My dad nods his agreement.

Steve: "Well, thank you for inviting me. I hope sometime i can return the favor." I stand up, "I will see you tomorrow. In fact, anytime you want a tour of the airbase, just drive on over and i would be happy to give you a tour." I leave the McAvoy's and walk down to my apartment, taking the stairs. i enter and go to sleep.
THE NEXT DAY
I wake up and put my work clothes on and walk out the door.

Olivia: I wake up but don't open my eyes. "What...?" I think to myself. Then my alarm clock goes off again, and I groan and hit the snooze button. Today is my first day of school, and I'm not looking forward to it one bit.
My mother walks into my room and shakes me gently until I open my eyes. "Come on, Olivia! Time to get up!" She chirps, opening the blinds. No stream of light slices through the room, because it's 6:30. The sun hasn't even risen yet.
I cross my eyes behind her back as she shuffles through my suitcase, where all of my clothes are located, and pulls out my yellow shirt, black pants and high-heeled black boots, which actually happens to be my favorite outfit...nevertheless, I don't feel like getting dressed. I roll my eyes grudgingly.

Mavis: I did not speak to Jia all yesterday. My alarm goes off. I sighed, turned it off, and put on my gold tunic and gray leggings with my blue skirt. I pull my hair into a ponytail with my sparkly gold scrunchie. My accessories are my big gold chain necklace and matching bracelet, with big hoop earrings. I put on eye shadow, mascara, blush, lip gloss, and faux nails. I stroll out of my bedroom. Luckily, Jia isn't awake. I put on my red cape and head out to the diner for some doughnuts.

Steve: After that LONG day at work, I head back home. I unlock my apartment door and am surprised at what I see. "Ronnie! I didn't think you were coming for another week!" I greet him. "Steve!" He replies back. "How long has it been since I've seen you?" I ask. "About 3 years." He replies. We sit down on the couch and start to catch up.

Olivia: After I come back from a long first day at school, I'm exhausted. All I want to do is go and talk to Elaina on the phone. I promised her I would call her as soon as I got back. I ignore my dad, who is back home from work early and reading an article online about seven new planetoids, and head straight for my room.

Steve: "Now, that you are here, Ronnie, we will have to get you signed up for school."
Ronnie: "I saw one on the bus ride in."
Steve:" Great! I will go there tomorrow with you and we can get you signed up. Though I'm not sure what you need....."

Olivia: I pull out my phone, which isn't an iPhone or anything like that - it's an old-fashioned cord phone - and dial Elaina's number. "Hello?" "Elaina!" I breath. "It's Olivia. How are you?!" "Olivia! It's so good to hear your voice again! I'm fine, how are you?" This is the chance I've been waiting for. I relate everything that has happened since I moved here, including the funny incident with Steve and my awful first day at school. "It's very clicky," I explain. "There's nowhere I fit in. It's kind of like a bunch of little clubs that don't belong together being shoved into one building just so they can learn. And the high schoolers - they are in the same building. The boys are especially exasperating. They are SO LOUD at recess." Elaina laughs. "I know the feeling." She has three older brothers at home.

Steve: "Ronnie, i'm not sure what we need so I am going up to the McAvoy apartment. C'mon." I tell him. We leave the apartment building and walk up the stairs. I knock on their apartment door.

Kirk: I hear a knock at the door. I put down my newspaper article and answer the door - it's Steve and another person I have never met before. "Hi, what can I do for you?" I ask. Olivia: I hear my dad talking so I know either my mom is back from a little tea-get-together thing she was at, or someone is visiting. Either way, I want to go see. I have been talking with Elaina for awhile, so I tell her I have to go. We promise to talk again soon and I walk into the living room.

Steve: Kirk answers the door and asks what he can do for us. "Hello, Kirk! I want you to meet my little brother, Ronnie. I need to enroll him at the school and i was wondering if you knew what he needed." Olivia walks into the living room and i wave to her.

Kirk: "Nice to meet you, Ronnie." I turn to Steve again. "Well, first you'd need to enroll him. I think you can do that if you just go over to the school. Then I'd probably drive over to Walmart and get pencils, pens, notebooks, a few binders, notecards, and a pencil holder." Olivia: I walk over to my dad. "You're forgetting about a backpack. I would probably die without my backpack. And a water bottle. Also something to hold your lunch is desirable. I recommend stocking up on paper bags." I turn to Steve's brother. "Hi, I'm Olivia! Nice to meet you," I say, reaching out to shake his hand.
