E. Go and talk to the young Brady

just waiting on LGM (and Tdud but he's been inactive for like 3 weeks now).....

Brady found a nice, shady spot under a tree and laid down. He decided to play Pokémon GO on his phone. There was a PokéStop at the public library branch across the street from the school, and Brady was quickly in business, collecting three items and catching a Pidgey.

Jimmy remembered his mommy’s advice to meet new people, and went over to Brady. “Whatcha playin’?” Jimmy asked, and Brady answered by tilting the screen toward Jimmy.

“Oh cool, my brother plays that game a ton,” Jimmy said. “He’s level 13, what about you?”

Harold noticed the two boys talking, and went over to join the conversation. Before he could realize what was going on, Brady had made two new friends, and was chatting them up about school. Seeing as how Jimmy and Harold had both attended WGMS for sixth grade, Brady took the opportunity to find out more about how everything worked.

(Brady: XP +2, SP +7, Jimmy and Harold added as friends!)
(Jimmy: XP +2, SP +7, Brady added as friend!)
(Harold: XP +2, SP +7, Brady added as friend!)

Meanwhile, Thurgood noticed that his friend Ug Li was not at school that day, and after asking around, discovered that Ug had transferred schools, and decided to run away. He was not seen again that day.

(Thurgood disappeared!)
(Ug disappeared!)

Johnny and Matthew started a game of basketball, going at it one-on-one until some more kids decided to join in. Johnny was a hard-nosed defender and a tenacious rebounder, but struggled with his jump shot; Matthew was a good shooter, but was a bit afraid to go inside and battle with the big boys.

(Johnny: PWR +1, XP +2, SP +1)
(Matthew: CTRL +1, XP +2, SP +1)

Xander horsed around on the playground, challenging other kids on the monkey bars and running around, playing and having fun. Unfortunately for him, he worked up such a sweat at recess that he could barely focus in his next class.

(Xander: XP +3, RUN SPD +1, SP +3, GPA -0.02)

Stanislaus held the first meeting of the Environmental Club, a group comprised of him and 15 girls in the grade. They discussed plans to clean up the campus once a month, in addition to encouraging students to recycle. After they had written down some notes and scheduled their next meeting, the girls took turns chatting with Stanislaus, who enjoyed the attention.

(Stanislaus: XP +1, SP +11)

Lake decided to join a game of four-square, and quickly ascended to the position of king upon discovering a new way to spin the ball so that it would bounce toward one square but veer into another, startling all of his opponents. While his dominance was unquestioned, it was short-lived as many of the other kids quit, claiming that he was somehow cheating.

(Lake: SP -3, Spin 4 acquired)

Anthony decided to hang out at recess, first watching the one-on-one battle between Johnny and Matthew and then retreating to a corner of the yard to talk with Caroline, who had been his girlfriend going on a year — the two had met just after tryouts had concluded in 2015. They were the longest-lasting couple in the middle school, and many of their classmates were jealous of their relationship, including Xander, who was so envious of the fact that his teammate had landed a girlfriend before him that he refused to speak with Anthony.

(Anthony: XP +2, SP +8, Xander removed as friend)

Last but not least, Cody spent recess inside going over some math problems and reading ahead with a tutor. While he loved hanging out with his close friends, Cody just wasn’t that much of a social butterfly, and besides, he wanted to get caught up on some reading since he had fallen so far behind over the summer due to his hockey obligations.

Speaking of which, he had a big tournament coming up, and wanted to make sure that he had some fans there to support him. Cody printed off a handful of flyers in the library after lunch that day, and posted them up around school, hoping to attract some attention to the games that weekend.

(Cody: GPA +0.07, SP -4)

Nice update.
I tried to find the roster, or to see if I'm able to upgrade anything but couldn't find it.
Let me know if I can upgrade,
And what are the green SP points for?
Thx.
DF

Hey! Glad you liked it!

I'll post the roster probably once teams are divided up/once games start. You leveled up fairly recently and are at 69 XP, you need to get to 100 to reach level 4, so no, you cannot upgrade at this time.

The green SP points are a new form of XP called SP or Social Points. Increasing your SP will get you more social opportunities, more (or better) friendships/relationships, and possibly help you win favor with coaches and teammates.

After lunch was history class, and Mr. Sanders surprised the class with a pop quiz.

Cody knew every answer, and thought the test was easy, grinning as he turned in his test first and sat back down.

However, Xander only knew a couple answers, and resorted to guessing, deciding to go with A for every answer. He ended up getting 4 out of 10 answers right.

(Cody: GPA +0.01)
(Xander: XP +1, GPA -0.01)

After history was art class. The class was surprised to hear that they would actually be taught something that year, considering that they had received all of two lessons the entire year in sixth grade. The class started off with an assignment to draw a self-portrait in any style they wished.

How do you draw the self-portrait? (Kungfupandacam)

A. In a Picasso-inspired cubist style
B. In a Japan-inspired manga style
C. In a free-flowing, abstract style
D. In a realistic, detailed style
E. In a stick-figure style

Well because my country is the neighbor of Japan in real-life (South Korea, well sea neighbor) I guess I will choose B as A, D, and E were very tempting.

Jimmy drew himself in a manga style, complete with big brown eyes and long brown hair. Mr. Sanders was pleasantly surprised to see one of his pupils taking an actual interest in art instead of blowing off the activity and drawing a stick figure, and rewarded Jimmy with a dinosaur sticker.

(Jimmy: XP +4, dinosaur sticker acquired!)

Art was the final class of the day, and when the bell rang to dismiss class at 2:55, a stream of students flowed out from every classroom door and into a number of places — other classrooms to seek extra help, the playground to hang out, out front to wait for the bus or a ride, or to one of the various sport meetings around campus.

The baseball meeting was in the East Gymnasium, and a total of fifty-eight kids showed up to participate. Coach Merritt passed around a sign-up sheet for each player to write down their name, grade, position, and playing experience, and introduced himself and the other coaches, the returning Coach Miller and the newcomer Coach Collins, a young guy who looked genuinely happy to be there.

Unlike in previous years, though, kids would be allowed to participate in more than one sport. Cody Tibbits was already taking advantage of the new rule by playing both hockey and baseball, but it was yet to be seen whether anyone else took advantage of the rule change.

Do you want to play another sport? (Kungfupandacam, dustyfarmer, PowerPro Jr, GoTwins24, Baseballteen9500, dishnet34)

A. Yes, (pick a sport: basketball, football, soccer, hockey, cross country, track, tennis, golf, swimming)
B. No

A, and cross country

A. And football

A. Swimming-my 50 Back is like a 35 and to put that in perspective Ryan Murphy's WR is 51.85 Seconds and kids in the winter league in South Jersey ussually beat me by about a second because of a horrible stroke. My freestyle is near a 38 which is horrible and my Fly is about a 40 which is ok for Butterfly, and I am not allowed to swim breastroke and anyway it's horrible around 55 seconds. 200 IM is about 2 minutes and 30 seconds.

A. Basketball is Johnny's favorite sport. He likes the way they dribble up and down the court.

I'll go with A, and play some golf.

Yes, Stanislaus will run track.
