School Days *Parker/Isla*

[*Gem*]

Sammy was sat in the library at break time, her feet curled up on a chair as she contently read through a fairytale book. She was in a world of her own when Nate drew up alongside her.

"Samantha- what are you reading?" Nate pulled the book from her hands and turned the pages without interest. "You're as bad as Parker, you know that? he's always got his head a book or a bone in his gob!"

"Give it back Nate."

He hesitated and dropped down next to her on the chair. "You havn't seen the old dog have you?"

"not yet, I'm meeting him and Isla for lunch when the bell goes.." Sammy told him, innocently.

"bravo!" Nate grinned. "I can bully him into being my science project partner."

"You talk funny, did you know?" Sammy teased, and put her feet on his lap like she'd seen her Aunt Beth do to just about everyone.

Nate looked at her weirdly, at her sandels then at the book and shook his head. "Crazy girl." He muttered under his breath, and she ignored his comment.

Parker was walking Isla to school. That morning, Ben had dropped him off at the Manor with money for lunch before he headed to work. The blond was excited to go back- Not that he'd tell anyone that. It wasn't cool to be happy about school. Isla of course was happy too but she always was. "Parker, are we going to see Sammy?"

"I reckon so."

"Im really glad."

"Didn't you see her like two days ago?"

"Yeah but not at school- duh."

[*Gem*]

"So..." Nate was quickly getting bored of the quiet.

"I'm reading Nate, can't you come back?"

"Oh, cheers little lady." He pushed her legs off him sulkily.

Sammy laughed. "Why are you here so early?" She asked.

"My father likes me out of the house by 0800."

"Whats that mean?"

"eight am."

"Then why not just say that-"

"becuase thats what he says, 0800."

"I'd want you out of there by that time too, leafy." Parker said smugly, coming up behind him.

Isla let go of the wolf's hand, which she had insisted on holding through the crowds of older kids and hugged Sammy. "Hi!" She grinned, "Excited for school?"

[*Gem*]

Sammy hugged her back though not as aggressively. "hello Isla. Yes I am, are you?"

[Bails]

"Yup, I hope we get to sit together this year."

Parker flicked Nate, "Alright?"

[*Gem*]

"That'll be amazing!" She grinned.

Nate nodded, and smacked him back. "Yeh, can we go somewhere, I swear I've got cooties."

[Bails]

Isla nodded, "You can use my sparkly pencils."

Parker nodded, "Yeah." Before he did though, he waved and smiled at Sam.
