Next to climb up onto the wagon was Benny Brickner. He was a also a first

year. Benny had straight black hair that was slicked back and piercing blue

eyes that were hidden behind his wire framed glasses. He was a bit skinny;

really there wasn't much to him. Justin had decided that Benny was a bit of a

bookworm. He had come to that conclusion due to the book that was

practically attached to his face when he climbed up. The last person to climb

up into the wagon was Roberta Thornhurst. She was a rather pretty girl with

long red curly hair that came down almost to her bottom. She had the most

beautiful dark blue eyes any of the boys had seen. She was well groomed

and from what the boys could tell she had expensive taste in clothing. From

the moment she spoke she had their full attention.

" Hi, my name is Roberta Thornhurst, but my friends call me Bertie. "

" Hi." said the three boys in unison.

" Well...What are your names?!"

" M my name is Thomas Miller, but you can call me Tom if you like."

answered Thomas.

" Benjamin Brickner is my name, but I prefer Benny if you don't mind."

exclaimed Benny.

" Well, what about you? You have a name don't you?" asked Roberta.

" Yes, I have a name. My name is Justin Wellheart. Now if you don't mind I

don't feel like talking and I'd prefer to keep to myself if that's alright with the

rest of you."

" Boy, you've got a bit of a temper don't ya, Justin?" said Tom " What's

your problem?"
