Deleted Scenes, Untold Stories, and Character History
Sophomore Year is the first Novel in the ReGeneration Series, told in Riley White's perspective, but what about the other Characters? Sometimes the best scenes don't make the cut, who wouldn't love to know what the antagonist or side characters where thinking.

For starters, I want you to know I don't like talking about others it's not very Christian like behavior, but when you just asked me- how I know Riley? I thought back to how we'd met and became friends; both happened at different times.

Riley's never liked me much. Forgive me for saying that, but it's true. We've known each other for the last four years, basically since our first math class in junior high. For some reason we've always been destined to be in every math class together, no matter the semester or year.

I can't remember how many times I'd walk in and find her sitting towards the back of the classroom waiting for it to start.  One thing about Riley, is that she's typically on time, she hates to be late, to anything. A movie, class, or an appointment, she's always there, on the dot.

But I'm more like Teagan when it comes to keeping track of time, neither of us are as structured as Riley. Which of course bugs Riley to death. Anyways, about Riley...

Not until Teagan moved in, did we really start hanging out together. I mean, we'd talk in class together and say hello to each other in the hallways, but other than that, we never attempted to hang out together. You probably know some friends like that, right?

Once, when we where talking about music I started mentioning some of the Christian rock bands I liked. She instantly grew disinterested, and instead started listening to Mrs. Gilbert's lesson on Algebraic Identities. From then on, I could tell she would never seen me more than the Reverend's daughter. I think she see's me as a snob, or a goodie two shoes; I don't know what's up with that.

But, the thing is, I like being around her. She's smart, probably smarter than me, but I'd never tell her that. She'd let it go to her head and I'd never hear the end of it. She's helped me out in math class a lot and with out her, I'm not sure I would have passed. Oh, and believe me when I tell you how harsh she can be at times.

But, maybe I shouldn't say those things- yeah, I'll keep quiet on that one.

With Teagan around, Riley's more accepting, which is saying a lot to how she use to be. She's much nicer, trust me - big difference. I know I shouldn't say things like that, but I guess when it's just between us, I'm allowed to talk like that, right?

Well anyways, who knows what the future brings, as long as we trust in god and do the best we can, everything will work out for the best.

I really liked talking to you, you're easy to talk with. Thanks, for being such a good listener.

See ya later?
