After saying good-bye to Laura, Rico got a text from his mother asking him to make dinner for tonight, since she was working late...again. With a sigh, Rico simply texted a 'Sure.' and got to work. Once Maya had her dinner and was tucked in, he entered his own room and sat down at his desk to get his homework done. It was 10 p.m. when he finally got into bed, and fell asleep.

Laura awoke with a start, as she turned off her alarm clock, and got out of bed. She put on her usual outfit, tied her hair in the usual ponytail,and grabbed her backpack and a pop-tart, and walked off to school. When she was a block from the school she had finished her pop-tart, and sat on the bench she and a two of her friends sat at yesterday morning.

Dylan yawned and got up in his bed, rubbing his eyes as he winced at the sound of the blaring alarm clock. He put on his glasses, brushed his teeth, and changed into a white tee, navy jeans, and white sneakers before heading out of his house with a blueberry muffin and a bottle of milk, his bag slung over his back. He arrived at school and yawned once more, rubbing his eyes tiredly.
Even walked over to the school, a sad look on his face as he seemed to have his eyes on some piece of paper in his hand. The night before this note was attached to a rock that had been thrown through his bedroom window. Even avoided injury, but what the note said something that made Even's heart sink...
Remember Cobra, don't screw with us. We now know where your two little girl friends live. If you don't want them to get hurt, the offer to join us is still on the table. Otherwise I can't promise something...unfortunate won't happen.
-Your good friend Python
Even crumpled the letter and shoved it into his pocket and sat on the bench next to Laura, having avoided eye contact as it was obvious he wad deep in thought over something.-Your good friend Python
Laura looked at the gate of the school expectantly, seeing for when her friends arrived, but she saw a boy with glasses come in instead, but Even soon followed after. Laura was about to greet him with a smile and handshake, but then she saw the sad look on his face.
"Are you okay?" Laura asked, as she looked at him, a concerned look on her face, as she looked at her friend.
"Are you okay?" Laura asked, as she looked at him, a concerned look on her face, as she looked at her friend.
Even turned to Laura and let out a sigh. Even thought about keeping it to himself, but no. His screw ups in the past were gonna put his friends in danger, they had the right to know.
"No, those three...pieces of trash sent me a message last night. And, well...see for yourself..." Even said as he showed the letter from Even's old gang that made a threat to Laura and Lis.
"I never should have tried to make friends. Now you're in danger and it's all my fault..." Even said in a low voice, filled with guilt and shame as he thought over what he could possibly do. Even knew he might have to go back to the life he hated, just to ensure his friends would be safe. Even didn't want them to get hurt over his mistakes.

Laura snorted, before turning to Even. "You're one of the best friends I've ever met! You think some blackmail can tear you and I apart? No way! Besides, I'm on the football team!" Laura said, trying to give Even reasons that he was okay. He truly was, and Laura couldn't care less about some blackmail.

Rico vaulted over the front of a parked car as he ran toward the school in a hurry, his departure having been delayed by a childish prank from his sister. I swear to god when I get my hands on her... He mentally ranted as he approached Laura and Even. "Mornin' guys. What's up?"
"Mornin' to you too, Rico. Just having a good mornin' chat" Laura said mimicking Rico, with a hand raised for a wave, before she scooted closer to Even to make room for Rico. She patted the seat next to her, as if to show Rico there was room for him to sit down.
Even turned to Laura, a shocked expression on his face as she remained so confident despite everything.
You are amazing, I really don't deserve a friend like you.
Even gave a nod once the shock faded as he put the note away while Rico sat down with them. Even aimed to go to the principle about this and hopefully get some help. Laura was right, he couldn't let this threat dictate his life.

Even though Zeke had gone too sleep early, it was still nearly impossible for him to wake up on time. "Fine!" Zeke yelled as he managed too turn off the alarm on his phone. He slowly sat up, rubbing his eyes as he checked the time. Zeke jolted off his bed and ran straight to the bathroom after he saw the time. He had woken up fifteen minutes later than his normal time. Luckily his mom was still sleeping or she would've freaked out. She hated tardiness and didn't stand for it. After speeding through his morning routine, Zeke went downstairs while putting his backpack on, grabbed a bagel, quickly put some cream cheese on it, and then bolted out the house heading straight to school while munching on the bagel every chance he got.
Rico accepted Laura's offer and sat down beside her, looking up to the clouds above. "So, I tried out for the soccer team. Still waiting for the results, though." he mentioned, trying to strike up a conversation to break the silence.
"Oh, I got a flyer yesterday. It was taped on the wall of the side of the school." Laura said, fishing the crumpled piece of paper from her backpack, and handing it to Rico, after smoothing it out. "I didn't read it though. The others are on the inside of the school." Laura finished, as she leaned her back on the bench, and put her arms around her head, and the heads of Even and Rico's, relaxing her head on the palms of her hands.
Even put aside the blackmail thoughts for the moment to engage in the conversation.
"Well I submitted my form to the Nature Club. Once it is processed, which should be done by today, I'll become an official member. Never been part of any club before." Even said to Laura and Rico, curious what it is going to be like. Even always loved nature, so this group seemed tailor made for him. Still Even wouldn't know what to expect until he was an official member.

"Oh yeah, according to the website, the results should be posted a little before lunch." Laura said, turning her attention to Even, as she nodded, to clarify her point. Laura then looked at the sky. Beautiful. There were a couple cumulus clouds, which made the orange sky feel peacful.
Rico looked over the flyer's school soccer team section. "Looks like I made it on, Attacking Center Midfielder." he said with a smile, shooting a fist into the air. He then noticed someone else talking with two larger students. He had neatly combed blonde hair, a pair of glasses, and dressed formally with a shirt and tie. Feeling as though he were being watched, he glanced over at Rico, and immediately the immigrant felt him staring into his very soul. "So, who's the guy in the formal wear?" he asked.
Laura looked at the boy that Rico was talking about. "Oh, him? His name's Lawrence Grant. He's somewhat new. I've never talked to him before, but I just know most people at school.It's my thing." Laura said, as she turned to Rico.
"Huh..." Rico simply said before looking to the ground, thinking. He wasn't sure why he had suddenly felt so unnerved just from someone looking at him, but he passed it off as some wierd daydream or something. Taking out a book, he began reading to try to put his mind into some other way of thought.
Lis awoke briefly the next morning. Her eyes had pretty dark rings under them, and her dyed hair was in a mess of a ponytail. She ended up combing through the snarled mess and tying it into two loose French braids. Grabbing her backpack, she threw it over her back and grabbed and apple from the kitchen, and left the house.
After walking to school, she headed up the sidewalk to the entrance, greeted by many fellow students. When she spotted her huddle of friends, she did a sort of salute whilst walking, as if to say hello. The apple was in her opposite hand, without any bites in it. Before she knew it, somebody snuck up behind her, snatched the apple, and sprinted away.
Lis didn't even get a glimpse of who it was, not that she really cared. And to nobody in particular, she shrugged with a confused expression before walking to join the group.

Even was happy to see Lis initially, even taking the time to return the salute, but then he frowned when he saw someone just take her apple out of her hand and run off. Even let out a sigh as he stood up, any outsider could tell that action angered him.
Got a decent look at that punk. I'll show him...
Even began to walk, currently by Lis, with the intent to go get that guy and Lis' apple back.

"Even so, it's not cool just stealing someone's food like that." Rico said, "Also, I like your new hairstyle. It's pretty cute." He then stood up and began stretching, slowly exhaling as he lowered himself into a split and back to a standing position. "So there's a joke the preacher told me last Sunday at church if ya want to hear it." He offered, now sitting down on the pavement with his legs straight and touching his head to his knees.
Dylan blinked at the spectacle that had just happened. Someone had run up to a girl and snatched the apple out of her hand. He felt a pang of anger at the guy, to be honest. Wait, that girl looked familiar. Zeke had mentioned her to him while Dylan was helping everyone with their homework. She was the one who was helping other people as well, huh? Dylan smiled and walked over to the group she was with. "Yo."
"Sure, that joke might just be a great highlight today." Laura said to Rico, before she saw a boy come up to them, saying Yo. "Yo. Nice morning, isn't it?" Laura asked the individual, who had walked up to the group.
"Alright, so a thief breaks into a house in the dead of night, just sort of slips an unlocked window open and crawls though, and the first thing he sees is the T.V., 42 inches, high def. As he makes his way to the T.V., he suddenly hears a voice saying 'Jesus is watching you.' The thief freezes, and looks around the room, but aside from a parrot in the far corner, there's not another living thing in it. Shrugging it off as a delusion of paranoia, he turned back to the T.V. Before he could lift it up, however, he hears the voice again. 'I said Jesus is watching you.' The thief hears it coming from the corner where the parrot is, and looks at the bird, which looks at him. The man then approached the parrot.
'Did you speak to me?' he asked.
'Yes.' The parrot replied.
'What's your name?" The thief requested, curious now.
'Moses.' The parrot answered.
'What kind of man names his parrot Moses?" the man wondered."
Rico paused for effect in the middle of his abdominal stretch, then continued: "The parrot looked over the man's shoulder, and answered 'The same man who named that rottweiler behind you Jesus."
'Did you speak to me?' he asked.

With a half eaten bagel in hand, Zeke ran up to the entrance of the school at full speed. However, at the entrance, there was a group of upperclassmen hanging out. Zeke knew some of them but he wasn't expecting one of them to try and mess with him this early. "Yo Zeke, think fast!" One of them warned Zeke as he put a leg out right in front of him, obviously trying too trip him. Luckily, Zeke was able to react at just the last second and managed to jump over the upperclassman's leg before skidding to a stop after he landed.
After taking a breather, Zeke turned and saw the laughter coming from the group. Most of the upperclassmen thought they ruled the school and could do whatever they wanted to the lower classes. Those kids were nothing but the same. Zeke decided he should just laugh it off with them. "Yeah, that was funny. You almost tripped and I could've probably broken an ankle or two." Zeke spoke sarcastically as he walked up to the group. "Yeah, well that was the point. Besides, it would've been even funnier if you did break your legs, am I right?" The kid turned back to his group and they all chuckled at his comment. Zeke knew it was just a joke, but he couldn't just leave without getting some revenge. He glanced at his bagel as he tried to figure something out.
"Be careful Joseph, he looks like he's confiding in his bagel." One of the jocks stated, chuckling to himself before taking a bite from his apple. "Yeah, I wonder what he's going to do. If anything, I'll take that bagel off your hands." Joseph tried reaching for the bagel but Zeke moved it away. "No, I was just thinking of returning the favor." Zeke finally spoke, glaring back up at Joseph. "Oh, a favor huh? How kind of you." Joseph said, with the group snickering behind him. "Well, I was just thinking that I've kind of lost my appetite and I wouldn't want this wonderful bagel too go to waste. You did want this bagel, did you not?" Zeke asked, hoping Joseph would take the bait. He tore off the parts he bit so it would increase the chance of Joseph taking the bagel. Joseph grinned as he heard the offer. "Aw, you're so nice. Now hand it over kid." Joseph ordered, raising his voice. As Zeke was about too place the bagel in Joseph's hand, he stopped. "Actually, I did think of something." Zeke told Joseph as he looked at the bagel. "What?" Joseph asked in a confused tone.
Without warning, Zeke smashed the bagel in Joseph's face, smearing the cream cheese all over him. Zeke backed away as the bagel dropped to the ground. The look on Joseph's face was priceless and Zeke could barely contain his laughter. He looked at the faces of the rest of the group and they were all completely shocked, but looked ready to burst out laughing. "Y-you..." The group burst out laughing when Joseph muttered the word and Zeke couldn't help but add some extra salt to the wound. "You might want to clean that up before a teacher catches you and gets the wrong idea." Zeke managed to say as he continued to watch Joseph. "I-I don't think that was a good idea Zeke." One of the upperclassmen said through the laughter.
Zeke's expression changed to a frown when he started to see the rage coming from Joseph's facial expression. "I, uh, actually class is about to start, um, like now so I'm going to go." Zeke said his excuse as he started to back away, picking up the pace every step he took. "You... you little runt!" Joseph yelled as he lunged towards Zeke, who burst out into a full sprint . Luckily, the group managed to hold Joseph down and prevent him from chasing after Zeke who had run off, full of laughter after what just happened.
"He's smart, I'll give him that." Joseph said after he finally calmed down. He managed to get a napkin and wipe the cream off his face. "It was pretty funny though." Joseph decided that he should just laugh it off. He knew Zeke and also knew that they were both just joking around. "I still wanted that bagel though." Joseph said before glancing at the apple in the jock's hand. He snatched the apple out of the boy's hand and started to munch on it as the boy complained.

Dylan smiled. "Sure is." He chuckled a little bit at Rico's joke and looked at the girl from yesterday. Suddenly, Dylan saw Zeke sprint through the school entrance as an upperclassman tried to pull a prank on him. He whistled in surprise at the events that had followed and soon, all was quiet again. He turned to the girl again and attempted to strike some conversation. "So, I saw you helping out some classmates on homework yesterday. You must be pretty smart, huh?" He smiled warmly and stuck out a hand. "Dylan Sage. Pleasure to meet you."
Returning the smile, Lis shook the male's hand. “Nice to meet you, too. Name's Lis Fifer.“ Her eyes glanced over to the kid with the cream-cheese face, having at and apple that was incredibly similar to her own. “Oh,” she mumbled, furrowing her eyebrows.
It would have been nice to eat it, but she wouldn't want it now anyways. Still, the hunger lingered. She decided she would make the male but her a new apple at lunch. Turning back to Dylan, she rubbed the back of her neck with a sheepish expression. “I wouldn't say I'm smart, honestly. I was just somebody available to help yesterday,” she laughed nervously.

Dylan laughed. "I guess so. I'm pretty sure you're smart either way, though." When Lis' happy expression slowly deteriorate into a frown, he followed her line of vision and saw one of the jocks who had left holding an apple. Remembering what happened with Lis' apple, his smile faded. "The apple, huh?" Dylan's grin returned, a bit brighter than before as an idea came to mind. "Don't worry, I'll buy you another one during lunch."

Dylan laughed and shrugged. "It's not bad, aside from all the bullies and snobby upperclassmen running about. It certainly makes things a bit more challenging, that's for sure." He chuckled softly. "If that plan of yours goes awry, I'll buy you an apple. Deal?"
Lis smiled, and nodded shortly. “Deal. But I should repay you. Even if it is a 60 cent fruit,” she laughed. Shifting her backpack on her shoulders. She glanced sideways at the school, expecting the bell to signal the day's beginning. However, when she didn't hear it after awhile, she shifted her attention away from it.
Laura giggled, before nodding to Rico. "That was good!" she said, looking at him, then at the kid who showed up. She was about to say hello, but after he and Lis started a conversation, she immediatley backed off, feeling left out. So she got up and left for Math class early. The bell would ring in seven minutes.
Dylan chuckled and nodded. "If you want." He glanced at the clock. "Looks like school's about to start soon. What class do you have, Lis?" He was hoping they would have the same classes, so that he could get to know the girl better.

Surprisingly, Zeke was one of the first ones in math class that morning. He was pretty sure the teacher was too, especially when he turned in his homework, all completed. One of the perks of coming early to class was that you got to pick whichever seat you wanted since there was barely anyone in there. Zeke picked a seat near the back, which hopefully if the right people sat in front of him, he would be out of the teacher's eye sight. As he looked at his phone, there was like six more minutes till the bell would ring. "So boring." Zeke mumbled to himself as he laid back in his seat. There were only a few other kids in the class and the kids he talked too all usually showed up moments before the late bell. Zeke pulled out a packet of gum from his backpack and took a piece for himself. He then chewed on the gum, waiting for class to start.
Dylan lit up, a grin shining on his face. "I got math too! You wanna head there together?" That was a coincidence. Dylan held out his hand to help Lis up, and a nanosecond passed before his face turned beet red at what he had done. Should I retract my hand? No, that would seem rude, but she'll think I'm flirting with her! Wait, will she? OF COURSE SHE WILL, YOU IDIOT!
