Monday morning, Lisa ran out of the house and drove to school. She arrived to find Kelly Kapowski and Jessie Spano, two of her best friends, standing in front of their locked homeroom door chatting. Kelly was very sweet and had sparkling blue eyes that set off her lovely face perfectly. She was their school's head cheerleader. Jessie, the senior class president, was tall and beautiful enough to have been the envy of any Las Vegas show girl. She was really smart too. Kelly glimpsed Lisa approaching and greeted her with a big smile that showed she was happy to see her.
"Hi Lisa, how was your weekend? We sure missed you at the beach," Kelly said regretfully.
"Hi guys! My weekend turned out to be more than just fine. You'll never guess what happened to me," Lisa could hardly wait to blurt out her news.
"Well, don't keep us in suspense, what happened?" Jessie asked anticipating some big news.
"I met the coolest guy ever. He's handsome, well built, smart, nice, and get this, he's a college man!" exclaimed Lisa, feeling relieved at having finally gotten her mega-sized news off her chest.
"Wow!" said Jesse who looked at her with big eyes full of wonder, "Stop, dont tell anymore, you're getting me jealous. All we did was hang out at the beach listening to Zack and Slater tease me about being appointed the Bayside Blabber's new editor, while Screech hopped up and down begging me to let him be our new chief reporter. Now there's thrills for you."
"Girlfriend he must have gotten on your last nerve," Lisa said sympathetically, while not bothering to hide her amusement at the thought of the spectacle.
"You're telling me," Jessie continued, "if there wasn't a rip tide alert I would have thrown him into the Pacific."
"Come on guys," Kelly volunteered charitably, "We should be supportive when Screech is happily finding other pursuits beyond chess and bug collecting."
"I guess I should try to encourage his interest in other activites, you're right Kel," Jessied conceded. Yet, somehow she did not look too thrilled at the prospect of having to be so intimately involved with his latest interest.
"Enough with all this already. Here we have great, exciting news and all we're doing is going on and on with another Screech ordeal. Tell us everything about this new guy of yours, Lisa," Kelly demanded.
