Role Play Time! discussion

Taylor and Renée arrive giggling. Taylor said,"Good one, dude! Man, we have to do more of this stuff!" Renée smiles and says,"Yeah, we just have to"

Emilie arrives at the Lunch Room with Brayden and looks around for her friends.

"Okay. Let's go", Emilie says smiling.

Taylor and Renée waves at Emilie madly to catch her attention.

Emilie grumbles,"Yeah, yeah. I'm here. No need to act like mad people!"

Taylor and Renée grin at each other and high five each other.

"Nah. Emilie's the crazy one!", Renée laughed and she began eating her lunch.

"Coming from you!", said Emilie

"Who's the master?", Taylor chortled.

"I am", Emilie joked but no one laughed.

Taylor and Renée were silent for an awkward moment. Then Taylor smiled, and said,"See what a dodo bird she is?"

Emilie replied,"All birds are beautiful, so ha!

"For your information, a dodo bird is an extinct bird, Emilie", Taylor informed her.

Emilie came back with, "Well when they were alive I am sure they were pretty."

"Not exactly Brayden. A dodo bird was a rather odd bird and had a beak like a toucan's. It's plumage feathers were rather a somber colour, like black, grey, etc...", Taylor said.

"Look it up, Brayden. Don't you know your extinct species?", Taylor asked in mock shame.

Taylor blushed beet red and indignantly said,"I do not study textbooks for fun, Brayden. I study them to enhance my knowledge!"

Renée patted the spot beside her for Emilie and Brayden to sit and continued eating.

Taylor kept quiet, eating her food.

Renée finished, packing up her lunch. She broke the awkward silence by saying,"Finished?"

Taylor and Renée answered,"French and Social Studies"

Taylor mused as she was packing up,"I wonder when we're going to have that pop quiz Madam Baltayan was dropping hints about"

Emilie packed up her lunch,"What French quiz?"

"Dude! Madam Baltayan has been dropping humongous hints!", Renée exclaimed.

Taylor nodded her head vigorously along.

"That's what all teachers do and it never happens" retorts Emilie

"Yes it does! Remember Mr. Elton? He said there was going to be an extra credit quiz and it really happened!", Taylor said.

Emilie replies with,"ok 1 teacher"

"No, how about Semmington?"

"Remember she wasn't here that day and the supply teacher accidentally shredded the tests"

"She made us do a retest!"

"When?!"

"Ugh! You are... agitating! Remember? That little pop quiz she made us do?", Taylor said, looking at Renée for verification.

"Are you sure? I'm pretty sure we didn't have...", Renée trailed off. "Wait a second. When did you do this test?"

Taylor answered promptly,"3 weeks ago, Tuesday afternoon after school, approximately 5 and 20 seconds after the end of 7th period"

"SUPRISE pop quizzes. No warnings at all! Our French teacher did not say one word about this pop quiz!" Emilie said while turning on her heel to leave the lunch room.

"Why did you side with the other girls? You knew I was right." Emilie said with a pang of hurt in her eyes.

Smiling Emilie said, "wow! Impressive, I have never heard a guy say that before"

Renée laughed. "Dude, you actually did that? Who else did that?", she asked.

Taylor said slowly,"Well, now that I think about it... No one I think"

"Come on", Renée said, and they left the lunch room, following Emilie and Brayden.

"When you make a girl mad.........why would you want to make her happy again?"

"Guess not" Emilie smiled sweetly.

Renée smirked mischievously at Taylor and Taylor winked back.

They split, leaving the lunch room at separate entrances. Renée crept up and said softly,"Boo!"

"It's okay Braydon, if you hang around them long enough you'll get used to it"

"Actually" Said Emilie under her breath then taking on a louder tone but turning her head away from Braydon and looking the two girls in the eyes then lowered her voice again "Actually, can you two go to your lockers or something just for a few minutes, because I think you just ruined one of my moments.

Emilie blushed without knowing it and said "something special"

"It's your choice, your the one that makes the move not me" replies Emilie but stutters out of being unsure.

"Don't worry, E milie. We'll leave you two alone. Oh, and Brayden, I wouldn't be too sure about getting us back. We're armed", Taylor said, enunciating the E in Emilie as she and Renée showed him a gleam of metal in their sleeves. Then, after a moment, they left, giggling as they ran off to the Back Field.

Renée called out,"We've got 15 before the bell! Meet you at the field!"

"Thanks for ruining another moment!" Emilie called back.

"It's nothing, we should get going now. Come on" said Emilie while taking his hand.

"To catch up to the others" Emilie said while starting to speed up her pace.

"By the way if you wanted revenge on Taylor and Renee now would be the time, but if they look suspicious don't risk it. Trust me its not worth it."

"So what do you want, Miranda?", Dennis asked.

"Whatever you're getting", Dennis replied.

"Please, I'd prefer it if it was vice versa", Dennis said.

"Fine", Dennis said, resigning himself to his fate. "I'll get spaghetti"

Dennis frowned, pretending to be angry but a smile broke through and he smiled back. "But I insist that I buy you lunch"

"Girls. Why do they have to be so stubborn?", Dennis asked himself as he followed her.

"What do you want to know?", Dennis asked.

"My family? Okay... I have a dad, a mom, and two older sisters. I have a cousin", Dennis said.

"Nah. They're both in university. One's in postgrad and the other is in 2nd year", Dennis said, moving up in the line.

"Yeah. I do track and I board, snow and skate. You?", Dennis asked.
