Susan Summers was extremely excited. Her idea had been approved by the principal of the academy, and now was the day that she would be given the pleasure of assigning the project to her students! That wouldn’t be until after the barbeque. Of course, the students who didn’t attend the barbeque would be informed of the project afterwards—via email or their next class—but Susan was really excited to host the barbeque! It was much safer than the woods, anyway.
Things were all set up now! The tables were spread out in the quad, very inviting. Susan was cleaning out the large grill, and a few people were already here, mingling about.
“Please tell me you’re not planning to cook.” Susan turned towards her younger brother, who she’d persuaded to help her today.
“What! Why not?”
Arthur raised his eyebrows at her, and Susan laughed, rubbing her neck. Her dark hair was pulled back into a ponytail, and she wore a pair of knee length jean shorts and a blue tee shirt that fit her very nicely. She laughed when Arthur's expression didn't change.
“Okay okay, point taken. No, I’m not cooking, the food provider for the school is. This would be way too much cooking for me to do! Besides, I’m going to focus on the socializing! And supervising.”
Arthur sighed and grabbed a salt shaker, placing it on the table. They weren’t the only ones in the field, though. Amy O’Neal could be seen approaching, with her newfound friend Todd in tow. Todd towered behind her, looking a little awkward in the face, but extremely good in his jeans and light blue tee shirt. It was one of his talents—looking good in clothing.
“I’m so excited! I hope that the others show up, too!” Amy waved at Susan, who waved back. Todd nodded along, hoisting himself into the seat across from the one Amy'd claimed. Amy then turned towards Todd again.
“Meanwhile! You told me I could snap some pictures of you! Right? I want to practice people shots.”
Todd nodded in confirmation.
“Yeah. I don’t, uhm, mind.”
There was another girl present, lying down on the grass. Her dark hair surrounded her head like a halo. She wore a pair of black shorts that ended at her mid thigh and a green dress that fit more like a baggy shirt, loosely hanging around her figure. She paid no mind to her muffintop or appearance, instead focusing on the flowing clouds in the sky. Talya went relatively unnoticed by the others at the park, and was a tripping hazard, but didn’t seem to notice or care.
There was a radio playing pop music in the background, and balloons were everywhere. The atmosphere was inviting and friendly. Susan sang along with the song as she cleaned the grill, hoping many students showed up.
