Giorgio Spinelli was not the same person he had been last Monday. Last Monday, he hadn't known anything about his friend Calvin's year long battle with his supernatural tendencies, nor had he known so much about said supernatural tendencies. It all had gotten Gio to thinking maybe other things he'd taken for granted and written off as fictional actually were real. Perhaps his childhood wish that the Loch Ness Monster was real had come true! Or always had been true.
Aside from his enlightened thoughts, the revelation hadn't changed much. He still had to go to school, work on weekends, and his fish still preferred TetraMin flakes over any other brand. It didn't even make approaching girls easier, which it shouldn't have because it had nothing to do with girls, but it would have been a nice side-effect, anyway. It would have really helped him with what he had planned for the afternoon.
After school was over for the day, Gio had surreptitiously followed two girls he knew to be cheerleaders, hoping they would lead him to a cheer meet or something similar, and he hadn't been disappointed. However, it was only upon arriving at the congregation of cheerleaders that he realized that meant he would be surrounded by cheerleaders. It went without saying that his self-confidence plunged into the icy, much unused, depths of his psyche.
The only thing that saved him was spotting Glory Bennett almost immediately, so he was able to walk with a purpose toward her instead of the alternative: wandering around eying all of them like some kind of shameless pervert.
"Glory, hi," Gio greeted, trying to ignore all of the shiny long hair and shapely legs that just happened to be gathered in one place. Unfortunately, it made him forget why he was there in the first place.
