We made some absent minded small talk while we waited for the other girls to arrive. By 2:58 a few more girls had arrived, and we could see the teacher driving down the hall in her mobility scooter. "Hi, Miss Williams!!" I called from across the hall. Ms. Williams was a total sweetheart and had been running the YLC since before I joined. She had long black hair and pale skin. She was probably in her 40s, but her makeup was always so on fleek that it took off at least 10 years.
"Hey, girls!" She beamed. Her voice had a musical quality to it, like she was always ready to burst with joy. "Let's head into the classroom and start, shall we?"
Sam and I got out of our seats and followed Ms. Williams and the other girls through the door into the classroom. As we began to sit down at the cool steel desks, Ms. Williams noticed a new face in the crowd. "We've got a new member of our club, I see!" We all looked towards Sam, causing her to blush a little bit.
Adorable.
We started off the meeting with a name game: going around in a circle saying our name, year, and favorite food. We started off with Sam, since she was new. "Hey, um, I'm Sam. I'm a freshman, and my favorite food is strawberry ice cream." Next, I went. "Hii guys, I'm Amy. I'm a junior and my favorite food is
deep dish pizza
." just talking about food made me feel hungry- I wasn't starving or anything, but after this meeting I definitely wanted to get my hands on some pizza.
We went around the circle, every girl introducing herself. There was Kady, ginger girl who was lucky enough to wear most of her fat on her huge chest. Brooklyn was a black girl, and a senior. She was pretty fun but was known to gossip behind people's backs from time to time. Sofia was a freshman not too much taller than Sam, but she easily had 25 pounds on her. She was one of the most social (and slutty) people I've ever met, and she was a blast to be around. I'd drunkenly kissed her at a few parties before, but to be honest I wouldn't be surprised if half of the school shared that experience with me. Finally there was Amber.(Which, admittedly, was probably not her real name) She was a punk girl with crazy half-shaved green hair. She had tons of piercings, too: ears, nose, lip, and my favorite, two nipple piercings which poked out enough to see through her black tank top.
After the name game, Ms. Williams went to the fridge in the corner of the classroom to grab some snacks.She returned with arms full of plastic tupperware trays. "Today for snacks I've got some bite sized cake pieces," She opened up the large plastic trays to unveil some delicious vanilla iced devil's food cake, cut into bite sized pieces no bigger than a baseball. The girls all lurched forward to get a taste, laughing as we playfully pushed each other to get our first pieces. Ms. Williams also pulled out a plastic bowl and some knives. "I also got some butter if anyone wants to spread it on." We thanked her and slathered some on their pieces of cake before shoving them into their mouths.
I think it's kind of funny what "bite sized" is considered nowadays. If you can fit it in your mouth without spilling much, it's bite sized... But we still made a mess as we stuffed the soft cake into our mouths. Within minutes, every girl had white frosting all over their mouth like it was lipstick. I laughed at sam, whose crop top was half covered in chocolate crumbs. "Looks like someone was hungry!" I teased. She giggled as she swallowed another bite of cake, flashing me a big chocolatey smile.
"Do we have any cream to drink or anything, Miss W?" Kady asked.
