A girl with golden-red ringlets waved from the opposite side of the group. Skye smiled, and waved back. Sister was standing up now, before the crowd, and saying, "We've got several separate committees that need to be worked out. There's treasury, consession, decorations, photographers, and equipment. Umm...head of treasury is Mendy Pike."
A girl with thick honey-blond hair and hazel eyes smiled and raised her hand. "We need 2 of you guys to help her out." Shortly, another girl and boy had been nominated.
"Okay, head of consessions is Petey O'Bannon," Sister went on. She smiled at a short, round guy with thick glasses and a flat top. He LOOKED like the type to be in charge of the food, Skye noticed. "Nicky Silbano and Lakyn Crispin already asked to help out with this."
"VeraQuin Ramirez has offered to have her dad to do the photography," Sister supplied. VeraQuin's father was the local photographer that did all of the school's photography. VeraQuin had dark, thick curls, black eyes, and an olive complexion. In Skye's opinion, she was beautiful.
"Mike, you still doin' the equipment?" Sister asked, looking to a good-looking guy with dark hair and eyes.
He flashed a lazy, rakish grin. "Yup," he drawled.
Skye studied him. She'd played a game of basketball with him once. He'd teased her because of her lanky figure. She'd gotten so furious she'd punched him, leaving him with a black eye.
He caught her staring at him, and winked. Disgusted by his arrogance, she rolled her eyes and looked away. Men...
"Okay, Mignette is in charge of decorations," Sister told everyone. "And the rest of you guys can go with her."
Skye got up with the rest of the group, and began to follow the herd towards the far corner of the gym. Mignette sat down on the bottom row of bleachers, and everyone else sat on the floor in front of her. As Skye was sitting, Mignette called out to her.
She looked up. Mignette waved her over. As Skye was getting resituated, Mignette announced, "Skye is going to be my assistant. If you have any questions after this evening, you can ask either her or me. Okay?"
The group nodded collectively. Skye was pleasantly surprised, but just smiled faintly at the group. She hoped she didn't screw this up.
