Pen Pals ||Shelby and Toni||

Annoying Friends

"Toni!" Shelby practically yells out well rushing to the girl. "What are you doing here! I thought you lived in Minnesota?" Shelby's heart is beating so fast right now she can't even hear herself think. "We had to move for Marty's dad's job." Toni says trying to get Shelby to sit down. She was kinda making a scene in the middle of the class room. Shelby sits next to Toni. "Why didn't you tell me?" She says a little confused. "I text you earlier today about it." Toni says taking something out of her bag. It was so strange finally seeing her in real life. </p>

<p>Shelby looks at all the messages of Toni telling her that she's moved and that she's going to a new school and had seen her walking. "Good morning class." Dr. Farber says. Dr. Farber is the worst teacher Shelby has ever had to deal with. Shelby has always gotten good grades all A's but in Dr. Fabers class her average grade is a B. "Is that your seat Mrs. Goodkind." He asked bringing all the attention to Shelby and Toni. Shelby gets up and sits a row above Toni. Looking back at her. Toni is trying to hold in a laugh which makes Shelby want to laugh. </p>

<p>They try to talk during the lesson and well working but Dr. Faber stops it every time. Eventually Toni passes Shelby a note saying: "Meet me by the gym after school." Shelby looks over her shoulder and nods.<br />

Shelby is waiting by the gym. There are lots of people signing up for basket ball which is going to be starting soon. She's never really been into sports she goes to football games because Andrews always saying she has to. It's pretty boring watching him throw a ball. She just doesn't get sports. </p>

<p>Out the corner of her eye she sees Toni in line. She heads towards her then gets cut off by Fatin and Leah. "Hey Shelby" Leah says. She has her hand carry her backpack while she looks through it. Not even looking up at looking up to talk to Shelby. "Hey what are you guys doing?" Shelby asks. "Her mom made her sign up for basketball." Fatin says. Leah pulls out a basketball application and is immediately getting dragged by Fatin towards the line Toni is in. Shelby follows behind them.<br />
~~~~~<br />
"Hey Toni." Shelby says giving her a big hug. She's hugs really tight but Toni doesn't mind. "Hey I just need to turn this in real quick and then maybe we can hang out?" Toni immediately looked into the basket ball program when she heard they were moving to Brownsville. She loves basketball and hopes she can get a scholarship from it. "I didn't know you even played basketball." Shelby says. "Feels like I'm gonna need to learn even more about you." Toni starts to say something but is cut off by a girl who looks like she doesn't know the first thing about basketball. "Who's this?" The tall girl asks. "Oh Leah this is Toni. Toni Leah." Shelby says smiling. "Your signing up for basketball?" Toni says a little more judgmental sounding then she means to. "Yea she is" another girl says clearing trying to protect the girl. "And that is Fatin." Shelby says and nudges the girl a little. </p>

<p>Toni turns and steps up to the table set up just outside the gym and hands the application to the person behind the table. Once she's finished she's told practice will be starting next Monday. </p>

<p>"Okay now that that's done what are we doing?" Toni asks expectantly. "Well I didn't expect my day to go like this..." Shelby says looking around thinking. "....how about we go bowling I can ask Fatin and Leah to come and my other friend Dot!" She says excited. Toni didn't really think Shelby would invite her friends. She thought maybe it would just be Shelby and her. Shelby looked so cute when she was excited though. Toni said sure without even realizing it. "But can Marty come to she doesn't really have friends yet." "Of course" Shelby said. Toni text Martha</p>

<p>Toni:<br />
(Do you wanna go bowling with a friend of mine.) </p>

<p>Martha:<br />
(We've only been here for one day. What friend do you know well enough to go bowling with?)</p>

<p>Toni:<br />
(I'll tell you the story later. Meet us by the gym.) </p>

<p>Martha:<br />
(I'll meet you there.)</p>

<p>Marty walks over a couple minutes later with her new friends behind her. "Hi they wanted to tag along I hope that's okay." Martha says looking at Toni who is obviously not wanting to bring more people a long. "Yea sure why not." Shelby says clearly excited to have a big group together. </p>

<p>They end up using Rachel's car and Shelby's to get to the bowling alley. Dot shows up to Shelby's car opening the front door. Then staring at Toni who had called shotgun. Shelby mouths a "sorry" to dot when she sits in the back. </p>

<p>Toni starts to wonder while driving to the bowling alley how this had gone from her and Shelby to Marty, Shelby, Shelby's weird friends, dot who is a person she hasn't even met. (But has heard about), and Martha's new annoying friends.</p>

Hey guys sorry about the weird <p> stuff I write in my notes on my phone then post on Archive of Our Own which is a fan fic sight then post on here. I was posting on here and in my notes instead of saying "copy" I did "paste" which deleted everything from my notes. So I had to go back on Archive of Our Own and get it on there and for some reason whenever you copy and paste on there it puts <p> and <br> and I'm just to lazy to fix it so yea hope you enjoy anyway.
