Better a brief spell of honor than a long rule of shame. ~Laxdaela Saga, c.29 Quality over quantity. Glory comes from doing things for the right reasons. Stepping out of the last class of the day i walk to my locker and silently stretch out waiting on Floki to arrive. I set all the text books i received from my classes into my locker, once  i finish i close my the door and lean against it letting out a small sigh. Grabbing a long strand of my hair i play with it humming to my self. after waiting 10 mins Floki finally shows up and i pushing my self off the lockers" about damn time you show up" i say tossing the strand of hair over my shower staring blankly at him. Floki slides his hand behind his neck grinning at me sheepishly " sorry sis i got caught up with some girls " he says hands he fishes his other hand into his pocket pulling out 3 phone numbers. Rolling my eyes i  say " yeah i kinda guess something like that was happening, but whatever we need to head to the office. remember the principal wanted to speak to us". I turn on my heels and start heading down the hall to the office with Floki following behind me silently. we walk through the office door and wave at the assistant and stand by her desk " is he in yet ?" i say staring her down with unfeeling eyes. she nods her head and presses a button on a her phone and pick it up" hello Mr Harvy the Managarm twins are here to see you is it alright for them to come in?" she nods her head and looks up at us pointing to the door " you guys can go on ahead and go inside hes ready for you guys" nodding our heads we head to the door and knock on  it before entering. opening the the door we walk into his office and he greets us" even kids Thank you guys for stopping by please take a seat". We silently sit down at the chairs in front of his desk.Crossing my legs looking at him "hello and its no problem what can we do for you " i said in a silvery voice. laying his hands on his desk twining his fingers together as he leans forward he looks to the both of us" i wanted to discuss something with you guys, it concerns our school". staring blankly at him i move my hands in a motion for him to continue. Clearing his throat he continues " every year at the beginning of the school year we have a festival of sorts where our kids set of games and we have some small rides that the towns people come to and pay 5 dollars to enter and any money made go to donations for the school funds." he shifts in his seat slightly looking a bit off put." each program has there own booth and so on, anyways to get to the point i called you here to see if you guys wouldn't mind putting on a small concert playing a few songs. we would get more people coming in if you guys would play." he leans back in his seat looking to the both of us waiting on our answer. We sit in silence for a moment then i turn to Floki speaking to him with out mind link" what are you thinking brother?" Floki lip twitches a bit as if hes trying to keep himself from smiling and from that twitch i could already tell he wants to do it. Turning to the principle i let out a small sigh and smile at him " sure why not i mean any money made will be going to the school so its for a good cause we would be happy to help you guys out. but if i can make a small request could you use some extra of the money made for the music room? there really in need of new supplies and instruments" Mr Harvy stands up and puts out his hand smiling widely " we can gladly do that, with you guys here we will make three times as much as we normally do thank you guys so much" Floki and i stand together and i shakes his hand smiling "yeah no problem" Floki shakes his hand after me and nods his head at him. we leave the the office waving at the assistant who name i still did not get. just as the we head out the office the bell rings signally the end of the day. as were walking out of the school i hear my name being called, i stop and look over my shoulder and see a tall pixie like girl waving at me with big round blue eyes that remind me of owls eyes. her hair is bloody red with curls framing her face that is shoulder lengths. i grimace watching her run over to me , just as she reaches me Floki pokes my side. Letting out a low growl i smile at up at the tall girl " yes did you need me for something ?" I say with a tight voice. she stops in front of me looking down at with with a goofy smile on her face " hey i am Jacky your knew here right i mean of course your new here i didn't see you here last year and plus your like super famous " she says breathlessly. i meekly nod my head at her twitching back and forth on my feet" yeah so what can i do for you" i say. as if her eyes couldn't get any bigger they widen and laughs " oh god sorry i was just wondering if like possibly you wanted to hang out or anything? i mean your new so you probably haven't made any friends yet right?". I opens my mouth to tell her i don't need any friends when Floki Jabs me in the side and i let out a sigh before saying " yeah i haven't made any friends yet but sure i guess we could hang out some time". she lets out a high pitch squeal " how about today? i am free today if you are Astrid". i shake my head at her " i am a bit busy today we still have a few things we need to unpack at home" i say flatly. just then Floki phone rings and he picks it up walking away a little to speak to whoever is on the phone. I watch him carefully not really paying attention to what Jacky is saying. Floki hangs up the phone and walks back to us and gives me a evil grin " actually i just got a call from Adam he says the shipping services let him now  that my bike just showed up, i would go get it back Adam asked me to do some things so if you want you could give my sis a ride there to pick it up?" Floki says as he putting his phone in his pocket. i mentally facepalm my self and look up to her" how about it then did you want to help me out?" i say crossing my arms. Jacky nods her head quickly saying " of course i'd love to give you a ride. i know where its at as well. come on follow me my cars parked over there " she points to a black Volkswagen beetle and starts to walk. i turn around to look at Floki and glare at him flipping him off i turn away and follow Jacky to her car. .
