Jim caught sight of some freshman boys talking to each other and goofing off. They weren't dorks like most freshmen. They hoped to be included by the upperclassmen, and they stood a pretty good chance of that, to judge by appearances.
Jim decided to take his shot. He walked over toward the boys, who turned toward him. There were 3 of them: their leader, Tanner, and Kevin and Drew. Tanner was tall and handsome, with windswept black hair, green eyes, and a chiseled yet boyish face. He was also muscular, with biceps that fought to break out of his sleeves, pecs that stuck far out, and washboard abs. Kevin and Drew were twins, though Kevin had brown hair and Drew had blond, but they shared a tight, leanly muscular physique and identically handsome faces. They were more into track and basketball while Tanner preferred football and wrestling. The three had always been close and equal, but lately Tanner had asserted dominance over the twins, which they resented. He used to be more quiet and thoughtful and built more like them, but when Tanner started football and wrestling and grew bigger and hotter than them, he began to lord it over them. Things were nearing a breaking point that day.
Tanner looked Jim in the eye, sizing him up. He was wary of this guy. But then Jim introduced himself and shook his hand. Instantly Tanner recalled his twin brother Logan, who was identical to him except for the blond hair.
Logan smiled. He asked, "Are we ready for the start of high school?"
